The York County Board of Supervisors recorded several formal actions during its May 20 meeting. Below is a concise summary of each ordinance, resolution or official action taken by the board and the vote counts recorded in the meeting transcript.
Rezoning: 111 Shirley Road (Ordinance 25-11) The board adopted proposed ordinance 25-11 to reclassify a 0.16-acre property at 111 Shirley Road from WCI (Water‑Oriented Commercial/Industrial) to RR (Rural Residential) so the owner may construct a single-family dwelling. Staff recommended approval after noting the parcel’s small size, substantial portion within the Chesapeake Bay RPA buffer and surrounding residential zoning context. The board adopted the ordinance. - Motion: Adopt ordinance 25-11 (mover: Supervisor Roan). - Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Holroyd; Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard. Outcome: approved (Yes:4; No:0; Abstain:0).
Tourist home (Use Permit UP-1046-25 at 1024 Penmen Road; Resolution R25-82) The board considered a request for a whole-house short‑term rental (tourist home) at 1024 Penmen Road with a manager condition requiring a nearby responsible party. Staff recommended denial because the proposal did not meet a board policy that envisions an owner residing in or immediately adjacent to a rental; the planning commission had recommended approval (5–1). The board voted to deny the resolution. - Motion: Adopt resolution R25‑82 authorizing the tourist home (mover: Supervisor Sheppard). - Vote (roll call): Yes — Missus Noll; No — Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard; Mister Holroyd. Outcome: failed (Yes:1; No:4; Abstain:0).
Six‑year secondary road program and FY2026 construction budget (Resolution R25‑86) The board adopted resolution R25‑86 to approve the York County project priority listing for the six‑year period FY2026–FY2031 and the FY2026 construction budget for secondary system funds. Staff told the board the funding allocation for the secondary program is reduced compared with prior years; the adopted action allows the county to bank or apply the funds against eligible secondary projects. - Motion: Adopt resolution R25‑86 (mover: Mister Holroyd). - Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard; Mister Holroyd; Mister Drury; Missus Knoll. Outcome: approved (Yes:5; No:0; Abstain:0).
Hampton Roads Sanitation District easement (Resolution R25‑20) The board authorized a permanent easement to HRSD to provide permanent access for a fiber optic line and maintenance access related to a pressure reducing station and offline storage facility adjacent to Tab High School. HRSD told the board the easement fills a small gap in existing permanent access lines so staff or contractor work can reach communications infrastructure if needed. - Motion: Adopt resolution R25‑20 (mover: Mister Sheppard). - Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Sheppard; Mister Holroyd; Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Missus Knoll. Outcome: approved (Yes:5; No:0; Abstain:0).
Board salaries (Ordinance 25‑10R) After discussion the board adopted ordinance 25‑10R to set annual salaries for supervisors at the current levels (no across‑the‑board pay increase at this meeting). The ordinance sets the base salary and supplemental stipends for chair and vice chair as recorded in the meeting. - Motion: Adopt ordinance 25‑10R (mover: Mister Roan). - Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Holroyd; Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard; Missus Noel.

Child Development Resources lease extension (Resolution R25‑64) The board authorized a one‑year lease extension with Child Development Resources to continue early‑childhood services at the Griffin‑Yates building through June 30, 2026, while CDR completes construction of a new facility. - Motion: Adopt resolution R25‑64 (mover: Mister Roan). - Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard; Mister Holroyd; Missus Knoll. Outcome: approved (Yes:5; No:0; Abstain:0).
Consent calendar and other routine matters The board approved the consent calendar, which included (among other items) approval of minutes, acceptance of Child Development Resources lease extension, authorization of the HRSD easement (noted above), and a minor application/modification from Dominion Energy relating to an earlier solar special-use permit. Item 10 (Dominion Energy special-use modification/extension) was approved on the consent calendar after staff review.
What the board asked for next During the meeting staff and applicants agreed to provide follow-ups: board members asked Dominion Energy to return with a near‑term update on site-plan progress (some supervisors requested a three‑month status update by email) and staff committed to issue public notice and detour details once CSX schedules for the railroad crossings are finalized.
