A 133 acre mixed use development is in the planning / approval process in Rockingham County - just south of the City of Harrisonburg.
This development would feature:
- 23 acres of commercial development
- 288 apartments
- 321 townhomes
- 102 duplexes
- 17 detached, single family homes
This planned development is located just south of the DMV, and backs up to Pikes Church Road.
The land needs to be rezoned, slightly (from R-3C to R-5C) for the development as planned to move forward. County staff recommended approval last week and the Rockingham County Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval this week. The next step is for the rezoning request to go before the Board of Supervisors.
The developer had previously rezoned the land, in 2009, for a 384 unit residential development. This updated rezoning, 11 years later, would increase the density to 728 units.
The developer plans to have common areas for recreational spaces such as turf fields, a playground and walking trails.

As a random side note, the developer is seemingly planning to call the development "Bluestone Development" - which might cause a bit of market confusion given the existence of a large neighborhood in Harrisonburg called "Bluestone Hills". Maybe not. I guess if someone says they live in Bluestone, you'll have to ask if that's the City Bluestone or the County Bluestone.
