DOMINION BOULEVARD CORRIDOR STUDY | Chesapeake, Virginia
82 | Area Plans
Area 4: Dominion North -
Size:
556 Gross Acres
Existing Condition:
Access - Area 4 is accessed off of Dominion
Boulevard along the south boundary at
the Scenic Parkway intersection and off
of Moses Grandy Trail on the eastern
boundary. Cedar Road extends through the
Area.
Land Use - The predominant existing land
use within the Area is agriculture and
suburban style subdivisions.
Environmental Features – some of the land
is in agricultural use. The Lindsey Canal
runs along the northern boundary, which
ultimately connects into the Elizabeth River.
Utilities - water and sewer service is
available
Opportunity:
Given the access to Dominion Boulevard
and the location near Cedar Road, the
Area is primed for near term development
that would include both residential and
commercial uses that fit within the existing
available land areas as well as the
character of the existing neighborhoods.
New development can take advantage of
the Lindsey Canal as well as the Scenic
Parkway intersection.
Threat:
Given its dimension and location, this
Area is best suited for residential and
limited commercial (retail) development.
Promoting density will maximize the benefit
of developing Area 4 and will lessen the
need to develop agricultural land located
within other Areas. The Lindsey Canal, if not
protected, will not create the environmental
and economic value it could.

value and provide recreational connections for its residents.
