Summary
At its June meeting, the Pittsylvania County Board of Zoning Appeals granted two special-use permits allowing Samantha Lipscomb to place double-wide manufactured homes on two small parcels on State Road 726 in the Banister Election District; both approvals followed a 5-0 planning commission recommendation and were granted with no conditions.
At its June meeting, the Pittsylvania County Board of Zoning Appeals granted two special-use permits allowing Samantha Lipscomb to place double-wide manufactured homes on two parcels on State Road 726 (Mal Mason Road) in the Banister Election District.
The board approved Case SDash25Dash011, a request for a special-use permit on 0.72 acres, and Case SDash25Dash012, a request on 0.60 acres. The planning commission had recommended approval of both petitions by 5-0 on May 6, 2025. The clerk read each case into the record; hearings were opened and closed with no members of the public signed up to speak.
Chairman (name not specified), presiding, read a motion for each case finding no substantial detriment to adjacent property, concluding the proposed uses would not change the character of the zoning district and would be in harmony with the intent of the ordinance. For SDash25Dash011 the chairman said, “I move that special use permit be granted.” The motion carried. For SDash25Dash012 the chairman read substantially the same motion; that motion also carried. The motions were recorded as carried and no conditions were attached.
The clerk told the board the petitions were submitted under Pittsylvania County Code section 35-223 and that the planning commission had recommended approval without opposition. Samantha Lipscomb appeared and declined to add additional comments during the hearings. No formal vote tallies or individual board member votes were recorded in the meeting minutes provided; the chairman announced the motions carried after the roll call for each motion.
The board opened each item as a public hearing, heard the staff presentation, accepted no public comment, and then voted to grant the special-use permits. There were no directions to staff, no amendments, and no follow-up tasks recorded for these cases. The board noted there would be no meeting in August and that there was one case planned for the following month.
The approvals allow the placement of two double-wide manufactured homes at the specified addresses pending any required permitting or inspections by county staff.
