Chesterfield County
“The Chesterfield County Planning Commission voted Thursday
to rezone 11 acres for commercial development at Iron Bridge Road and Jessup
Road despite opposition from many nearby residents concerned about increased
traffic and crime.
Balzer & Associates requested a zoning change from
residential to community business for the site. The developer’s plans call for
9,000 square feet of retail space, a bank, a sit-down restaurant, a fast-food
restaurant and a 14-pump gas station, but specific businesses have not been
identified…
The county’s planning staff recommended approving the zoning
change, noting that the project would support recently developed tourism and
recreation facilities nearby, including the Collegiate School Aquatics Center,
Ukrop Park and Mary B. Stratton Park Sports Fields. But residents who spoke at
a public hearing said they oppose the plans, especially if they include fast
food and a gas station.”
