Chesterfield County's Planning Commission was scheduled to consider a 204.3-acre rezoning on Hull Street Road that could allow up to 1,000 homes, the largest of several land-use cases on its Oct. 20 public hearing agenda. No outcome is confirmed: the county has posted agendas for the six meetings held in the past two weeks but not minutes, so the records reviewed for this roundup show what was scheduled, not what was decided.
