The Harrisonburg Planning Commission reviewed a new proposal for a residential development on Garbers Church Road, just north of its intersection with Rhianon Lane.

The property is currently zoned R-1 and the developer is proposing an R-8 zoning classification to allow more homes to be built on the property. 

The proposed R-8 zoning classification would allow 27 single family homes to be built on this 3.778 acre parcel.  The developer indicates that these would be small homes, likely two story in height due to the smaller lot sizes.

Three members of the Planning Commission recommended approval and three were opposed.  The Harrisonburg City Council will review this proposal and potentially make a decision about it during their March 14th meeting.
