On May, 24, 2022, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved what is called the Utterback Rezoning, which rezoned approximately 81.6 acres from A-1, Agricultural, to PMR, Planned Mixed Residential for 222 single-family homes. The property, which is located near the intersection of Route 15 and Lightner Road in Haymarket, had been under consideration by the County since 2016. The Project is named for the County road that serves as its southern boundary, which was first laid off in the 1870s.
The Project, which includes approximately 26 acres of open space, will have a variety of active and passive amenities including two Community Parks and Corner Parks. Other highlights of the new community will include operational, safety, and pedestrian improvements to Lightner Road such as an additional turn lane (resulting in two designated left turn lanes and one designated right turn lane) onto Route 15 from Lightner Road.
Pete Dolan, John Foote, and Jessica Pfeiffer successfully guided this case for The Peterson Companies. Pete worked tirelessly on it prior to his passing in January of 2021.
