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.”
