REQUEST
Conditional use to permit a model home in a Residential (R-15) District.
Note: Conditions may be imposed or the property owner may proffer conditions.
SUMMARY
A single-family residential subdivision (Glebe Point Estates) is currently under development. The
applicant is using a dwelling in the neighboring Matoax Hundred subdivision as a model home for
the marketing of homes in Glebe Point Estates. The Zoning Ordinance permits a model home as a
restricted use in residential districts. One such restriction is that the model home is used only to
market the development in which it is located. The model home is not meeting this limitation,
necessitating a conditional use.
WITHDRAWAL
On April 2, 2018, a certificate of occupancy was granted for a new model home within the Glebe
Point Estates subdivision. No longer necessitating a conditional use, on April 4, 2018, the
applicant withdrew this application. The Director of Planning will announce this withdrawal at the
Board of Supervisors hearing.

relative to speeding and dumpster locations associated with construction
activity.

Mr. Sloan stated that a community meeting was held where neighbors in the
Glebe Point Estates subdivision expressed their concerns relative to the new
location of the model home, and impacts of the existing model home and
