Gulfstream Glen Cove, LLC asked Sussex County to rezone about 12 acres on the north side of Burbage Road, roughly 475 feet west of Windmill Drive. The land is zoned AR-1 (agricultural-residential), and the request would change it to MR (medium-density residential). A companion request, a conditional use, would allow 50 multifamily homes on the site.

The project is the second phase of Glen Cove. The same developer already had a small subdivision approved nearby at the Windmill Drive and Burbage Road corner in 2013.

County agendas show the rezoning went to the County Council in May 2025. It was listed again under old business in July 2025. The sources found do not say whether the council approved, denied or is still holding the request. No news coverage or developer project page was found.

What it could mean nearby

Where it stands

County Council agendas from May and July 2025 show the rezoning under review after a Planning Commission hearing in March 2025. The final outcome was not found. If it is still pending, the council would vote on the rezoning and the conditional use, and site plan approval would follow.

Want to weigh in? The Sussex County Council makes the final decision on the rezoning, and residents can comment at its public hearings or by writing to the county planning office.

Who's behind it
