CONTROVERSY: On February 19, the buyer– Virginia NeuroCare Inc.– won a decision from the Charlottesville Board of Zoning Appeals to rezone the property for use as a residence for transition patients. Some neighbors contended that housing brain-damaged adults here would violate the City zoning ordinance. But the Board looked to federal housing law when rendering its decision.–Hawes Spencer
