They are also then requesting a special use permit to build apartments in buildings with more than 12 apartments per building.

The City of Harrisonburg Planning Commission will consider this proposed rezoning and special use permit on Wednesday, February 9th. City staff recommends approving the request with a few conditions. You can download all of the related documents here. | |

Updates On Rezoning Proposals For Several Proposed Residential Communities |
|
 A few updates today on proposed residential communities in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County...

This development is now planned to be a 460 bedroom apartment on 5.44 acres.  The Rockingham County Board of Supervisors tabled a request for a rezoning that would have allowed for 95 townhouses at Massanutten Resort.  The intended developer of a proposed 155 home neighborhood in McGaheysville withdrew their request for a rezoning to allow for the development.  The Rockingham County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning request to allow for an additional apartment building at the Altitude apartment complex. | |

Apartments That Look Like Townhouses Under Construction On Boyers Road |
|
 view a larger photo here In addition to the apartments under construction at Preston Lake, and the apartments on Boyers Road being built by Cosner Investments, there are yet more apartments being built on Boyers Road... The apartments -- or townhouses -- or apartments shown above are currently under construction almost directly across Boyers Road from Sentara RMH Medical Center. Each "townhouse" structure actually features two apartments -- one up, and one down. These townhouses are off of Congers Creek Road -- in fact, on the other side of Congers Creek Road from The Townes at Congers Creek, townhouses for sale built by a different developer. So, in conclusion, there are quite a few rental properties are under construction on Boyers Road. Per my best estimations, it looks like this...

Apartment Complex Under Construction On Boyers Road |
|
 view a larger image here If you have drive along Boyers Road lately you may have wondered about the large building starting to be built near Preston Lake. As shown in the photo above, it is a series of buildings that will comprise a large apartment complex. This development, being built by Cosner Investments, would seem likely to be comprised of around 86 apartments as per the original plans proposed to Rockingham County. As described by the developer last year... "Specifically, Locust Grove Village will house no more than 86 individual condominiums containing a mixture of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units. Units will be clustered into four buildings of 20-22 units apiece, with a majority of these units having a townhouse style and appearance. Building corners will be comprised of six condominium units served by a common entry and stairwell. Each pair of buildings will encircle a central green, with each townhouse-style condo having direct access through their own private courtyard. Half of the corner units will have balconies/courtyards that face the common green (interior), while the other half will face the exterior." "The central greens will be improved with tasteful landscaping (mixture of trees and shrubbery), paved walkways, a central gazebo, charcoal grills, and benches, intended to promote resident interaction and sense of community. If desired by residents, allowances will be made for community gardens, to be maintained by the residents themselves, and thereby promoting a sense of pride and ownership within the community. Pedestrian connectivity between the greens will be provided through walkways and a mid-block crosswalk through the parking area." "In sum, Locust Grove Village is intended to serve a growing desirability for attractive, communal living opportunities within a rural setting. Through emphasis of common areas and promotion of interaction between residents, Locust Grove Village will position itself as the premier condominium-based community within Rockingham County." | |

|
 A property owner on Suter Street, in the City of Harrisonburg, is proposing to build 22 townhouses on a 2.03 acre parcel of land zoned R-2. The City of Harrisonburg Planning Commission will review this requested rezoning (R-2 to R-8C) on August 11, 2021. City staff recommends that this rezoning be approved.
