Manassas officials have initiated three rezonings to properties that were built in the 1980s.
- The first rezoning, REZ #2020-01, is Beauregard Square Shopping Center in Downtown, where Olde Town Sports Pub is located.
- The shopping center is requesting to remove an outdated regulation that forces at least 25% of the center to contain office space.
The other two rezonings are both requesting to rezone from their previous Heavy Industrial zonings. Heavy Industrial is supposed to be used for things like “outdoor storage yards or industrial uses that really have significant impact,” Arcieri explained.
- REZ #2020-02, Godwin Business Park, located near the Landing at Cannon Branch, requested “to rezone from I-2, Heavy Industrial to I-1, Light Industrial,” Arcieri said. Arcieri explained that since this was built in a flex warehouse space it is appropriate for zoning in I-1 - manufacturing employment.
- REZ #2020-03, Commerce Corner, located at the intersection of Liberia Avenue and Euclid Avenue, requested to rezone from I-2, Heavy Industrial to B-4, General Commercial, “because it’s along a busy commercial corridor,” Arcieri explained, saying that General Commerical zoning is typical for shopping centers along Liberia Avenue.
Why it matters: City leaders want to make sure zoning rules meet the current land-use needs of businesses.
