Don't miss the Harrisonburg Planning Commission public hearing meeting on Wednesday, March 12 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 409 South Main Street.

As usual, it's not easy to tell what some of the proposals actually mean --- but I have included a summary and explanation of the ones that I can decipher, and I welcome anyone else's insight. Again, the information below is what I can piece together about the proposals from various sources. Attend the meeting to find out more about the proposals, or to voice your support or concerns.

	RMC Corporation would like a special use permit for a recreation facility to allow recreation and leisure time activities at 1000 South High Street in Harrisonburg. The photo to the file photo in the Harrisonburg Real Estate Information System.
	Heritage Estates is applying for a special use permit to allow a community building used for "recreational, social, educational and cultural activities." Perhaps they are building a community center?? Heritage Estates, pictured to the left, is located on Garbers Church Road.  Heritage Estates is also asking for a proffer amendment --- but the details here are a bit vague.
	Muhlenberg Lutheran Church is requesting a rezoning of 1.63 acres (on East Market Street) from B-2 to B-1C. This would allow them to move forward with a $2.2 million addition of a "gathering area." The church had originally requested an exception to the B-2 zoning ordinance, but this was denied by the Harrisonburg Board of Zoning Appeals on February 4, 2008.
	Hugo A. Kohl, III would like to rezone a rather small (3,000 +/- square foot) lot at 311 South Federal Street from B-2 to B-1C. Anyone have information on this one?
	Campus View Condominiums is requesting a rezoning of around 14 acres from R-3 to R-5C. This change would allow for higher density development. Additionally, Campus View Condos is requesting a special use permit to allow for multi-family dwellings with more than 12 units per building.
