Town of Purcellville
“Following a sometimes raucous public comment session
Tuesday night, the Purcellville Town Council approved the appeal by the
developers of the proposed Vineyard Square downtown redevelopment project who challenged
a number of design conditions imposed by the town’s Board of Architectural
Review.
The council voted 6-1 to approve the appeal, with Councilman
Patrick McConville opposed. Councilman Tom Priscilla made the motion to modify
conditions imposed by the BAR, notably, a height restriction on the structure
planned at the corner of O and North 21st streets. The motion also reversed the
BAR’s elimination of several design features.
Overwhelmingly, the tone of public comment was strongly
opposed to the design of the redevelopment—although not to the concept of
redevelopment in the area, which many approved as a way to bring vitality back
to the downtown. Only one person spoke in favor of the project as presented.”
