The Waynesboro City Council on Oct. 27 adopted three ordinances to clear zoning and access issues for the Waynesboro High School campus project.

The council voted 5-0 to rezone properties at 1211 Hundred and 1044 West Main Street, 325 Pine Avenue, 1017 Twelfth Street and 0 Poplar Avenue from RG-5 general residential and LB local business to RS-5 traditional residential and CB central business, respectively. Mayor Kenneth B. Lee, Sr. called the question and recorded the unanimous vote.

The council also approved a conditional-use permit (CUP) exempting the high school project from the build-to-line requirement in the Central Business District, again by a 5-0 vote. The council subsequently approved an ordinance closing and vacating identified rights of way on the Waynesboro High School campus, also 5-0.

Those actions were described as second consideration items that had been introduced and discussed at the prior meeting; council members moved directly to final votes after confirming there were no additional questions. The ordinances and the CUP will permit the project to proceed under the Central Business District standards as amended by the approvals.

No public comments on these items were recorded in the meeting transcript. The council did not specify any new conditions beyond those contained in the ordinances and the CUP as presented at second reading.
