Planning Commission — 2022-04-20

This record is the Centreville Planning Commission agenda and minutes for April 20, 2022, focused on a public hearing for a growth-allocation request for the Carter Farm Traditional Neighborhood Development. The Commission (four of seven members present) approved the March 16, 2022 minutes, heard a citizen raise concerns about public document availability and wastewater capacity, and received a detailed presentation from the Town Planner and the applicant team. The Town Planner explained the growth-allocation process under Section 170-31.6 and said the applicable standards for reclassifying about 40.372 acres of the 46.869-acre property to IDA are met; the applicant described design changes since December 2021, natural resource measures (afforestation, native plantings, invasive species removal), stormwater controls (rain gardens, infiltration beds, permeable pavers, green roof, bioswales), public access elements (a 15-foot public easement and a 0.72-mile Yellow Bank Stream Trail, two overlooks, and a pollinator garden), and noted that open space provided (21 acres) exceeds ordinance requirements. The Corsica River Conservancy provided a letter supporting the natural resource provisions.
