High Mark Distillery proposal at 277 Fredericksburg
Multiple residents slammed a pre-application for a distillery, event center and guest lodge on Fredericksburg Road, saying a 250-guest event venue doesn't belong in a community of fewer than 40 people. They also oppose a new 'accessory rural event venue' category in the Title XX update, calling it a loophole around special-occasion-home protections.
