Eleven 36 seeks industrial rezoning on Broad Street Road in Goochland
Eleven 36, LLC wants to rezone 4.438 acres on Broad Street Road for warehouse and boat and RV storage. Neighbors will get a June 11 hearing at 994 Three Chopt Road.
A 4.438-acre stretch of Broad Street Road could move from agricultural zoning into industrial use if Eleven 36, LLC wins approval for a rezoning at 1136 Broad Street Road. The request would change the parcel from Agricultural, Limited, or A-2, to Industrial, General, or M-2, opening the door to office, warehouse and boat and RV storage on Tax Map No. 45-1-0-127-B.
For nearby residents, the practical questions are not abstract. A storage-heavy industrial site can change traffic patterns, bring more truck and trailer activity, increase the intensity of daily operations, and raise concerns about lighting, access and buffering at the edge of surrounding land. It can also set a precedent for how future industrial rezonings are viewed along this part of Broad Street Road.
The county has scheduled a community meeting for Thursday, June 11, at 994 Three Chopt Road, where residents can hear the proposal before it advances deeper into the zoning process. Goochland County’s calendar lists the start time as 6 p.m., while a more specific posting shows 6:30 p.m., so anyone planning to attend should check the county page for the exact time. The case is tracked as PRE-2025-00043, and the county requires a zoning sign on the property to notify the public that the rezoning is pending.
The land-use context matters. Goochland’s calendar says the Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Industrial, which may help the applicant argue that the request fits the county’s long-range planning map even though the parcel remains zoned A-2 today. The county’s Planning & Zoning staff says it can answer questions about permitted uses, setbacks, transportation and future development, issues likely to shape how neighbors assess the site.
The June 11 meeting is only one step. Goochland County’s Planning Commission serves primarily in an advisory capacity to the Board of Supervisors, which will face the final political decision after public review. In a county where small parcels can carry large consequences, this Broad Street Road case is one more test of how Goochland balances rural character, industrial demand and the land-use pressures pushing outward along major corridors.
