The Prince William County Planning Commission is set to tackle two cases on Valentine’s Day – a proposal for the demolition and reconstruction of a Sheetz gas station in Dale City and establishing a new church along Route 234.
The iconic Sheetz gas station at 4021 Prince William Parkway in Dale City may transform. Dating back a quarter-century, this Sheetz location is seeking approval from the Prince William Board of County Supervisors for a special use permit (SUP) to incorporate a drive-through facility. If granted, the existing structure will make way for a modernized Sheetz gas station featuring updated interior designs and the reintroduction of a drive-through option for the convenience store.
Encompassing the demolition and reconstruction of the current Sheetz, the proposed design spans 6,100 square feet of gross floor area and includes 12 gas pumps.
The Sheetz transformation project aims to rejuvenate the gas station, introducing a fresh and modern look. From a redesigned fuel canopy to an improved drive-through facility, these enhancements are expected to elevate the overall customer experience.
With nine existing locations in Prince William County, the first Sheetz was established in Haymarket in 1996.
Meanwhile, the developers of Hope Hill Church are seeking a special use permit from Prince William County to construct its new church, complete with a freestanding electronic message board sign.
The proposed church is planned for an eight-acre property at 15024 Dumfries Road, near the intersection of Minnieville Road. Notably, the site zoned A-1, Agriculture, and designated parks and open space in the Comprehensive Plan currently features a residential unit with a swimming pool, which the applicant hopes to retain as a parsonage.
County documents indicate that notices were sent to property owners within 500 feet of the proposed church site, with no opposition received. The Planning Commission has until May 14, 2024, 90 days from the first public hearing date, to decide on the special use permit proposal. The proposed church location is situated adjacent to the River of Grace Lutheran Church, which borders Prince William Forest Park.
The Planning Commission meeting is open to the public and will commence at 7 p.m. at Board Chambers James J. McCoart Administration Building, 1 County Complex Court in Woodbridge.
