SUB [ECT
Requested by Barry and Jeanette Haskins, to rezone property located at 3800 Weal Road, in the Callands-
Gretna Election District and shown on the Tax Map as GPIN# 1496-24-3060. The applicants are requesting
to rezone a total of 1.48 acres from R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District, to A-1, Agricultural
District, to allow for the placement of an accessory building.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On December 21, 2021, the Code Official for Pittsylvania County mailed a letter to Barry and Jeanette
Haskins notifying them that a Building Permit was required for the accessory structure that had been placed
on their property. When they came into the office to obtain a building permit, such permit could not be
issued because the building had been placed in the front yard, violating Pittsylvania County Code § 35-74
(2)(b) which states "no detached accessory building may be located in the front yard of a lot' in residential
districts. The property is currently zoned R-1, therefore, requiring the building to be placed in the side or
rear yard. The applicants are requesting to rezone the subject property from R-1, Residential Suburban
Subdivision District, to A-1, Agricultural District, to allow the accessory structure to remain in the current
location. If the rezoning is approved, the structure would meet the required front yard setback and would be
allowed to remain. At that time, a building permit could be issued, bringing this structure into compliance.
Once the property is rezoned to A-1, all uses listed under Section 35-178 are a permitted use.
FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION
The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use as Agricultural and Rural Residential.
ZONING AND CURRENT USE OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
Adjacent to A- 1, Agricultural District and R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District properties.
RECOMMENDATION

consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
