The Stafford Board of Supervisors approved a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a new elementary school, the yet-to-be built Elementary School 19, that will exceed the maximum height limit in the A1 Agricultural Zoning district. The vote passed 6 to 1, with Garrisonville District Supervisor Pamela Yeung voting against the proposal.
The yet-be-named school will be built on the site of Brook Point High and Stafford Middle schools, located on Spartan Drive and Black Hawk Drive, near Courthouse Road. The permit allows the school to be built up to 57 feet in height, which is above the standard 35-foot height limit for buildings in the A1 zoning district.
