The Henrico Planning Commission has officially denied the request for rezoning at Church and Pump Roads. This outcome represents a collective success for our community and a commitment to preserving the character of our neighborhood. We will remain vigilant as future development proposals emerge for the area.

Help stop the block-long, four-story apartment building proposed for Church and Pump Roads. A monstrous building of these dimensions is totally out of character with our single home/townhome neighborhoods. 225 apartments in just 7.9 acres is too many for the space. The homes would source too much traffic for our roads. And the impact on our School System could necessitate redistricting.
Sign this petition to urge the Henrico Planning Commission and Supervisors to not approve the change in zones from B2 to R6 and to refuse the zone variance to allow 40% more units than code would allow.

The focus remains on preparing formal arguments for the upcoming Henrico Planning Commission meeting regarding the density of this project. Many residents have expressed valid concerns about the inevitable strain on our infrastructure and local schools.

The level of engagement surrounding this proposal demonstrates how deeply our neighbors care about the character of Tuckahoe. This momentum confirms that our concerns regarding density and infrastructure are widely shared throughout the community.

Just outrageous. Neighbors can’t get a 2 foot variance to put up a fence, but developers - who will never live with the mess they cause - can get a massive variance that will destroy an entire neighborhood. It’s totally unethical.
This density will lower property values and overcrowd our schools and roads. The School Board, 20 years ago, deemed schools in this area as overcrowded- this adds an enormous burden!
This hi- rise type of development is not appropriate for our neighbourhood and will devalue our property. Enough green space has been lost in this area and the schools are under such stress that our child faces a 6 mile trip because Godwin HS, which is a catchment area school is under too much stress.
This community in which we have lived for 38 years is not conducive to high-rise apartments nor rental properties of the magnitude that you are proposing. We have seen many changes over the years that have changed our surroundings not for the better. This one is definitely not helping our community.
I do not agree with a project of this magnitude in this space. It should not be allowed for reasons mentioned—impact on traffic and schools, density of development. Plus there is currently empty retail and restaurant space nearby on John Rolfe and in West Broad Village. We don’t need more!
A more accepotable structure for that piece of land, and appropriate to the road "Church Road" to which it is juxtaposed is for a Church to be built there, where it is visible. Further, there is a piece of land behind the Columbian Center that is owned by a Group that would like to build a church in the area. Perhaps a swap could be arranged so that the modified apartment structure could be built there, which is also suitable for a retirement community. The acreage is larger and more secluded. Seems like a reasonable effort, and all peoples get what they want. It is noted that there are a couple of types of buildings that do not degrade houses along side it, Schools and Churches.
This not fit the culture of the area. I dont think it makes sense from a traffic and security standpoint. My vote is admittedly NO.

The Barrington HOA vehemently oppose this development and support all the issues that have been raised in opposition to this project...especially apartments which are the last thing we need in this residential neighborhood...SANDRA Hutcher , President Barrington HOA
