Richmond Petersburg, VA, September 21, 2026 —
The Goochland County Planning Commission has put forward a recommendation for approval for the Serenity Trail residential subdivision. The proposed development is situated on a 110-acre parcel of land located in Maidens.
The current iteration of the Serenity Trail project outlines plans for up to nine single-family homes, each to be built on substantial lots. This revised proposal marks a significant reduction in density compared to an earlier plan for the same site.
Details regarding the previous, denser format of the Serenity Trail subdivision that led to its rejection were not provided in the summary. The commission’s recommendation indicates that the scaled-down approach has met the necessary criteria for advancement.
The project’s progression now moves beyond the Planning Commission’s recommendation. Further steps in the approval process were not specified in the available information.
