The action, taken at a special meeting called so the council could meet a statutory timeline, shortens the ordinary review period for the commission. City Attorney said, “Council will have to, have a motion to adopt the resolution that’s in your package. And if you do adopt it, then, you will be able to move forward on the 21st. The planning commission would have to give their recommendation. If they don’t, then it’s presumed to be a favorable recommendation, for approval of the SUP.”

The council opened a public hearing on the matter and, after no public speakers rose, moved directly to consideration of the resolution. Councilman Byers moved to adopt the resolution; Councilman Jones seconded. The roll call showed unanimous support: Council members Cuthbert, Jones, Myers, Westbrook, Smith Lee, Vice Mayor Hill and Mayor Perrin all voted aye.

The item traces to a joint meeting of the council and the Planning Commission on Sept. 2, when the commission did not provide a recommendation. According to council discussion at the Oct. 7 meeting, the commission had at that earlier meeting indicated it would supply a response by the council’s next meeting but was unable to meet in time. The resolution adopted on Oct. 7 shortens the commission’s usual statutory review period and sets the Oct. 21 deadline so council may act on the special-use permit on that date.

Council members did not elaborate further on the substance of the assisted-living proposal during the Oct. 7 meeting, and no conditions or amendments to the resolution were recorded. The council recorded no public comments during the hearing.

If the Planning Commission does not issue a recommendation by Oct. 21, the adopted resolution states the application will be presumed to have a favorable recommendation for approval of the special-use permit, allowing the council to proceed with its decision.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Special City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","PETERSBURG, Va. — The Petersburg City Council on Oct. 7 voted unanimously to require the Planning Commission to submit a recommendation by Oct. 21 on a special-use permit application from SP 13 Properties LLC to operate an assisted-living facility at 36 West Fillmore Street.","taxTitle","Petersburg (Independent City), Virginia","taxId",67559,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6428712,"Petersburg council commits $250,000 match to seek $250,000 Brownfields grant for downtown demolition",110,310000,420000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5906835-b043a6000e8238ad0ca21dd2ed72d39e&start=310&end=420","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5906835-b043a6000e8238ad0ca21dd2ed72d39e/thumbnail_310000.jpg","/articles/6428712/Virginia/Petersburg-council-commits-250000-match-to-seek-250000-Brownfields-grant-for-downtown-demolition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6428712-b9afbbef7d9ad63c6b72b8091b346635/orig.mp4?Expires=1770988689&Signature=XDj7H2PHZ2a7JzlHojr~8oqO-qC7Y8QbCMgrRE0qBYj77LyM5p10R--9YuH6QYtV1pF0rFMkaE2F4yAJXJY32WyFoUPcQRLMM70~1stsCAjIW3CklmPzVkI6ahPHpW4SAXFZzeKMEpW1GxXr2VOlWOx7IGcJgPmV~sewQB1c-YvZNw5~JoM0OVve2OcqknSXyNGVLUr6O4OlJKmZgAIcfqar281GzkcoYTRwqnMsq~sSdRj4W1jjKEvGucniQ3rcc1cZWNYeanAz5z09VPo3AP-HQxLfvelL-RWK2brJr-ZCNs-j6RK18WLhXngCwThAHr~sGEte~A39exfsmmF9Gg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","PETERSBURG, Va. — The Petersburg City Council on Oct. 7 voted to commit a $250,000 local match so the city can apply for a $250,000 grant from the Virginia Brownfields Restoration and Economic Development Assistance Fund to demolish two vacant downtown buildings.

Mr. Altman, a city staff member presenting the item, told council the city intends to apply for $250,000, which would require a $250,000 match, to demolish the former Cruisers building and the Petersburg Alarm Buildings at 18 East Bank and 226 Second Street. He said the work would include environmental mitigation if needed, demolition and debris removal to prepare the sites for redevelopment.

“...the city is gonna apply for $250,000 which would require a $250,000 match in order to, demo the former Cruisers building and Petersburg Alarm Buildings located at 18, East Bank and 226 Second Street,” Mr. Altman said.

Councilman Myers moved to adopt the resolution committing support and match requirements for the grant; Vice Mayor Hill seconded. After no public comments during an open-floor period, the council voted by roll call with Council members Cuthbert, Jones, Myers, Westbrook, Smith Lee, Vice Mayor Hill and Mayor Perrin voting aye.

Mr. Altman told the council the grant application was due the following week, which was cited as the reason for holding the matter at a special meeting rather than waiting for the regular Oct. 21 meeting. The resolution instructs staff to proceed with the application and confirms the city’s intent to provide the required local match if the grant is awarded.","The Petersburg City Council unanimously approved a resolution Oct. 7 to commit a $250,000 local match to apply for a Virginia Brownfields Restoration and Economic Development Assistance Fund grant to demolish two downtown buildings: the former Cruisers building and Petersburg Alarm Buildings at 18 East Bank and 226 Second Street.","actionData","errors"]
