Included on the Sussex County Planning and Zoning Commission’s Thursday, May 13 agenda is an application filed by Baywood LLC for a rezoning to make way for Baywood Gardens, a 514-unit apartment complex on the north and south sides of Long Neck Road about one-half mile east of the Route 24 intersection.
The applicant is seeking to rezone the 54-acre parcel from B-1, neighborhood business district, C-1, general commercial district, and CR-1, commercial-residential district, to HR-RPC, high-density residential planned community. The project would be adjacent to the existing Baywood Greens.
At buildout, the community would add 2,827 average vehicle trips per day to the road system in the Long Neck area. The development would have 27.5 acres of contiguous open space, with 18 acres of the existing 23 acres of woodlands to be cut down.

The new census numbers for Delaware are yet to be finalized, but a top legislator says Sussex County could end up with one or two new representative seats when voter numbers are finalized.
“There are some districts upstate that have 11,000 voters, so don t be surprised when we close down a district upstate and move it down south, because that s the only way we can fix this,” said Speaker of the House Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf, D-Rehoboth Beach, during a Lewes Chamber of Commerce membership breakfast held April 29.

These projects aim to “increase safety and traffic flow,” including the widening of Route 24 from Mulberry Knoll Road to Route 1, McLeod said. That project is expected to be completed in 2022.
Resident Scott McClintock has lived off Mulberry Knoll Road at least part-time for about 30 years, and he said it sometimes takes him 10 minutes to pull onto Route 24 from his neighborhood because of the traffic.
McClintock agreed that these ongoing construction projects will likely improve safety, but his biggest concern is the number of houses popping up in the area.
“It’s not what it used to be,” he said. It’s becoming like Philadelphia with all the traffic.”
