The Town of Blacksburg is considering a Zoning Ordinance amendment to address the need for additional single-family residential development.
This amendment aims to provide a framework for small lot residential development to fill a market need for smaller homes and the “missing middle” housing market.
The proposed Small Lot Residential (SLR) Zoning District would be designed to create small, walkable neighborhoods with a denser development pattern than the current R-4 zoning allows, while requiring high-quality design.
To learn more about the proposed ordinance amendment and to submit questions and comments visit Let’s Talk Blacksburg.
A public meeting will be held Wednesday, Mar. 27 at 5:30 p.m. at the Blacksburg Motor Company. Town staff will present an overview of the zoning ordinance amendment for small lot development. Following the presentation, questions and comments from the public are welcome.
