What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The developer of The Bluffs at Kiskiack withdrew its application to rezone land in James City County. The project, which included over 700 homes, commercial space, and a museum, was scheduled before the Board of Supervisors. The developer withdrew after asking for a deferral, as Board Chair John McGlennon stated there was no majority for granting the request.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The withdrawal removes the rezoning and special use permit requests from the Board of Supervisors’ agenda. Any new application for the property would have to restart the entire process, including staff review and a public hearing before the Planning Commission.
