The regional access and visibility provided by Interstate 64 and arterial roads makes this area suitable for a range of development opportunities.
(planning process scheduled for spring thru fall 2012)
The development options for this roughly 235 acre site are influenced by the campuses of the Christian Broadcast Network and Regent University.
Much of the land to the west of these institutions is undeveloped. Farther to the southwest are the city’s municipal solid waste facility (landfill) and a nearby privately owned landfill. Undeveloped land in the City of Chesapeake adjoins this tract. The proposed City Line Road will serve as an alternate link to I-64 and is identified on the Virginia Beach Master Transportation Plan.
Future development within this area should:
recognize the diversity of adjoining uses including neighborhoods, offices, institutions, and landfills
take advantage of the visibility afforded by the interstate highway and planned roadways
- complement the education and religious institutions located along the eastern boundary of this SGA.
Because of the size and intensity of the existing landfills, their potential for growth, and the presence of nearby residential and institutional uses, the Comprehensive Plan recommends the following land uses for the Centerville/Regent SGA:
Traffic impact/mitigation studies will be required to accompany proposals to develop this tract. Sufficient and well landscaped buffer areas should be provided between the landfill and proposed uses to effectively mitigate against adverse impacts.
