A new proposal has emerged for developing the 5.7 acre parcel of land at the corner of Port Republic Road and Boyers Road.  S&B Ventures, based out of Mount Crawford, is proposing a rezoning to allow for 48 apartments, 26 townhomes and a mixed use building.

Here is the proposed layout on the land...

Some commentary from the developer provides some context for this potential new development...

"The townhomes along Boyers are all oriented to take advantage of topography, with building "fronts" facing Boyers, and with on-site community green spaces and walkways connecting the community. There will be landscaping designed along Port Road with street trees and other landscaping to buffer parking on the site visually from Boyers."

"Some community scale commercial uses are retained directly along the busy Port Road frontage to provide future small business/convenience commercial options to serve local surrounding neighborhoods. There is a multi-use path along the entire length of the Boyers Road frontage, which connects to existing sidewalks on Port Road."

The Rockingham County Planning Commission will consider this rezoning request at their meeting on September 6, 2022.
