What’s happening?

In June 2025, the Board of Supervisors denied a request to dump fill in the Moore’s Creek floodplain.
The developer is back with a revised plan: 4 buildings + parking on a site zoned Light Industrial (not residential, not mixed-use).

The developer is already approved for and building 160,000 sq feet of light industrial space on the steep slope that drains into this flood plain and into Moore’s Creek, which outlets into the Rivanna just beyond the Woolen Mills.
Planning Commission meets Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 6 PM (Lane Auditorium, 401 McIntire Rd). Final vote: Jan. 14, 2026
