Affordable housing in Fredericksburg farther from reach

By Bart Schaetter, GMAC Real Estate Fredericksburg

An application for a change in zoning from R-2 Mixed Residential to Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Barons Crossing, an ‘affordable housing’ subdivision just south of Highway Street across from the livestock auction barn was denied 3-2 Friday, July 25, by the City Council after nearly seven months of negotiations.

A motion was made Friday morning at a special workshop meeting held in the second floor conference room of City Hall to deny the PUD and Councilmen Tim Dooley, David Pedregon, and Tom Musselman voted in favor of denying it. Mayor Jeryl Hoover and Councilman Jeff Jeffers were the only two votes in support of the PUD, according to Director of Development Services Brian Jordan.
