King George County:
“A property-rights issue brewing in King George County pits
the desire of one owner to develop his land against the wishes of others who
don’t want to see any commercial development next to their neighborhood. What’s
more, the affected acreage is off U.S. 301 in Dahlgren, in an area the county’s
Comprehensive Plan has allotted for commercial growth. But it was clear from
the comments of 24 speakers at the Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday night
that residents of Bayberry Estates don’t want a business in their backyards,
especially since it’s not clear what that business might be…
James Jarrell, the operating manager of a development
company named Walnut Hill, hasn’t said what business might locate on the 7-acre
parcel because he doesn’t know. He is simply asking for the land to be rezoned
from rural agricultural to general trade zoning. King George’s ordinance allows
a multitude of businesses in a general trade zone, ranging from restaurants to
car lots to warehouses.”
