Lakeview Development Corporation is proposing a rezoning of 10.33 acres from A-2 to R-2C.  There will be a public hearing this evening at 6:30 PM in the Board of Supervisors Meeting Room of the Rockingham County Administration Center (20 East Gay Street).

A bit of background....

• The Lakeview Golf Club has thirty-six holes, consisting of four sets of nine-hole courses developed over four separate decades. In 2013, the Club requested to rezone a portion of parcel 126-(A)- L44 to General Business District (B-1), for the construction of an event center and expanded club house.
  
• The applicant has requested to rezone a portion of the golf course to Medium Density Residential District (R-2) for the construction of no more than twenty-one housing units and to extend Lakeview Drive to serve these housing units..
  

These 21 proposed building lots would be on Lakeview Drive, which would be extended as shown in the image above.

A few of the proposed new single family home lots back up to existing homes in Great Oaks on Confederacy Drive, and a few back up to existing building lots on Hastings Court in Crossroads Farm.

Rockingham County Staff recommends that the rezoning be tabled, as outlined below....

• This proposal retains the existing character of the golf course with housing on the perimeter; however, the proposed extension of Lakeview Drive does not conform to the zoning ordinance. Staff recommend tabling the request until this is resolved.
