Amherst County supervisors approve special-exception for 83-acre event venue at Buffalo Springs Turnpike
Summary
The Amherst County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a special-exception request to allow a special events and photography venue at 154 Buffalo Springs Turnpike with conditions including a 100-person cap and a required VDOT low-volume commercial entrance.
The Amherst County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve a special-exception application (2024608) to allow a special events and photography venue at 154 Buffalo Springs Turnpike, the county’s planning staff said during the public hearing.
The special-exception petitioners, Mark and Andrea Hamm, own the roughly 83-acre parcel. Planning staff described the site as A-1 agricultural/residential zoning and said the parcel is largely vacant land with nearby village-district parcels and a volunteer fire department nearby. Staff said VDOT requires a low-volume commercial entrance and the county fire marshal raised no concerns. The applicants agreed to a condition limiting attendance to 100 people for any single event; staff also recommended standard conditions for special events venues found in the item summary.
