The Blacksburg Planning Commission on Aug. 5 approved a consent agenda that sets public hearings for a proposed Yellow Sulphur Springs Apartments planned residential development (PRD) rezoning and for proposed subdivision and zoning ordinance amendments, and canceled an Aug. 5 public hearing for the Tech Terrace PRD and rescheduled it for Sept. 2, 2025. The actions were taken at the regular meeting in the Roger E. Head Pass Chambers of the Blacksburg Municipal Building.

The scheduling items were part of a four-item consent agenda that also included approval of the commission minutes from July 1, 2025. The commission voted to approve the agenda as presented; the meeting record shows the motion, a second and a voice vote of "Aye," but does not include a roll-call tally in the transcript.

The commission scheduled a public hearing for rezoning case 25-6, the Yellow Sulphur Springs Apartments PRD at 3503 Holiday Lane, for Sept. 2, 2025. The record also shows the commission scheduled a public hearing on subdivision and zoning ordinance stakeholder-group work addressing General Assembly amendments for Sept. 2, 2025.

The meeting record shows that the public hearing on rezoning case 25-5, Tech Terrace PRD at 305 and 309 Webb Street, was canceled for the Aug. 5 date and explicitly rescheduled for Sept. 2, 2025. The agenda item in the transcript is labeled as a canceled public hearing to be rescheduled.

Planning Director (unnamed) told the commission that five new applications had been filed as of Aug. 1. The director said those applications are scheduled for the commission's September work session with public hearings to follow in October. The director described the incoming caseload as "heavier" than recent months; the transcript does not provide additional detail on the nature of the five applications.

No members of the public addressed the commission during the citizen-comment portion of the meeting, according to the record. Committee reports were brief: the transcript shows no reportable action from the Historical Design Review Board and the Montgomery County Planning Commission report will be watched and reported back to the commission.

The commission indicated the items scheduled for Sept. 2 will move those proposals into the public-hearing phase; any substantive testimony, staff reports, or formal votes on the rezoning requests and ordinance amendments will be reflected in the minutes and records when those hearings occur.
