Fauquier County
“Fauquier’s planning commission last week recommended
approval of a rezoning for construction of 100 age-restricted apartments in
Bealeton. The commissioners Jan. 30 voted, 5-0, to support amendment of the
April 2012 rezoning for Mintbrook, a mixed-use development along Routes 17 and
28.
The board of supervisors almost two years ago voted, 3-2, to
approve the development of 475 dwellings and 220,000 square feet of commercial
space on the 332-acre site. That original approval contemplated multifamily
housing at Mintbrook. But, it required separate review of what would happen on
the 8.6-acre parcel where Chantilly-based Mintbrook Developers LLC and the
South-Carolina-based Humanities Foundation propose the apartments. The
developer also needed separate approval for as much as 125,000 square feet of
“future” commercial development.
Mintbook has reduced that total to 39,000 square feet, a
proposal the planning commission also endorsed last week. With the changes,
Mintbrook would have approval for 575 dwellings and 265,000 square feet of
commercial space.”
