Before homes are offered for sale, major roadway improvements serving Stockton Meadows and the community will be completed. The proposal also includes public park land, pedestrian connections, low density new homes, and development milestones intended to support responsible growth.
Infrastructure commitments before development
We understand that nearby residents have concerns about traffic, roadway conditions, schools, and future growth. The proposal includes transportation improvements, public amenities, and development milestones intended to address those concerns before the community moves forward.
Pavement widening along Old Mill Road and Weiss Lane, alongside the straightening of existing roadway curves, to improve overall safety and drivability. These improvements will be completed prior to the issuance of building permits.
Weiss Lane and Old Mill Road will be reconfigured into a conventional T-intersection before residential building permits. Realignment of the Weiss Lane and Old Mill Road intersection into a standard T-intersection to correct existing geometric deficiencies that do not meet current design guidelines. This modification significantly improves safety along both corridors. These improvements will be completed prior to the issuance of building permits to limit initial traffic impacts.

Construction of a 10-foot-wide multi-use path along Old Mill Road and Weiss Lane, featuring pedestrian bridges spanning environmentally sensitive areas. This improvement enhances walkability and pedestrian safety toward Mill Creek Parkway while supporting the City of Chesapeake Trails and Connectivity Plan. Potential expansion of the multi-use trail to connect to Mill Creek Parkway if the city can acquire sufficient public right of way. If that happens, the project will construct the extended trail at private expense.
Dedication of a minimum 6-acre public park provided at no cost to the City, creating valuable recreational opportunities for the community. The City has identified this park as a priority need, which the Stockton Meadows development directly addresses.
No building permits will be issued prior to the completion of the Deep Creek Bridge replacement and Culpepper Landing Elementary School or January 1, 2029, whichever occurs first. The City of Chesapeake anticipates construction completion in early 2028. This provision is intended to mitigate traffic and neighborhood impacts until the new infrastructure is operational, and includes approximately one year for contingencies.
