The planning commission voted on Tuesday (July 14) to nearly double the number of dwelling units allowed per acre in R-4 zoning areas, opening the potential for the construction of more multi-family housing options in Fluvanna County.
The current ordinance allows a maximum of 2.9 dwelling units per acre in areas zoned R-4. The change would increase the density to a maximum of 5.5 dwelling units per acre.
Douglas Miles, director of community development for the planning department, argued that the change would allow Fluvanna County to potentially increase the stock of affordable multi-family and senior housing in the county.
He noted that a recent study by the Thomas Jefferson Community Planning District Commission (TJCDP) found that 95 percent of homes in Fluvanna County are single-family, detached homes, and that the majority were split-level or two-story homes “that do not allow for aging population, to be able to properly age in place.”

The Board of Supervisors held back-to-back meetings on Wednesday (July 7), their last sessions ahead of their regular midsummer break.
Chair Mike Sheridan (Columbia) was away for the week, so Vice Chair Tony O’Brien (Rivanna) took the gavel for the three-and-a-half-hour session. During that time, supervisors voted on two action matters, listened to two presentations, held two public hearings, and sat in for a one-hour closed session.
SMALL PURCHASE POLICY
“Our small purchasing policy now only goes to $50,000,” said Toler.
Under the current county guidelines, anything above the $50,000 threshold requires the county to put out a formal solicitation for competitive bids, while anything below $50,000 requires between 1-4 price quotes depending on the total cost of the purchase.
