Rezoning request from The Springs at Osceola proposes 166 single family home and duplex lots

Back on 2009, the Board of Supervisors rezoned 282.86 acres of land on Osceola Springs Road and Pleasant Valley Road from A-2 (agricultural) to R-2C (medium density residential with conditions).  This made way for The Springs at Osceola, a subdivision with (116) lots ranging in size from 1 - 5 acres.

Sales of these lots has apparently been a bit slower than anticipated....

• 2010 = 1 sale ($200K)
• 2011 = 3 sales ($189K median sales price)
  
• 2012 = 2 sales ($113K median sales price)
• 2013 = 5 sales ($135K median sales price)
  
• 2014 = 2 sales ($86K median sales price)
  
• 2015 = 5 sales ($107K median sales price)
  
• 2016 = 1 sale ($99K)

Now, the developer is requesting to revise the development plan for the 71 acre portion of the subdivision on the West side of Pleasant Valley Road.

By my count, this would in the currently planned 32 single family home lots being converted into....

• 70 Single Family Home Lots
• 96 Duplex Lots

Rockingham County staff is recommending that this re-zoning request be tabled.  The Planning Commission will be reviewing this request at their meeting this evening.
