Board approves agricultural rezoning, storage manager dwelling, Purple Heart proclamation and rabies clinic
The Mecklenburg County Board of Supervisors approved several agenda items by voice vote, including a zoning application to allow small-scale agricultural use, a renovation at an existing self-storage site to create an on-site manager dwelling, a proclamation designating the county a Purple Heart County and county authorization for the annual rabies clinic.

Applications and resolutions

- District 6 agricultural rezoning — Approved. The applicant, Patrick Bites, described keeping a variety of domestic birds and small poultry as pets ("white swan necked geese, piggy ducks, some bantams, and 3 2 white rocks"), and said the nearest neighboring home is roughly 500 feet away in a rural subdivision of 17 homes. The board voted to approve the application with the Planning Commission's recommendations.

- Self-storage facility renovation — Approved. Paul Martin of Rosemark Corporation (AAV Self Storage) presented plans to renovate an on-site residential structure so the front portion functions as an office and the upstairs/rear remain as manager dwelling. Martin said the change would not alter the building footprint and would provide on-site management for security and operations. The board approved the application with the Planning Commission's recommendation.

- Purple Heart County proclamation — Adopted. A board member read a resolution recognizing Mecklenburg County as a Purple Heart County, noting historical service and designating August 7 each year as Purple Heart Day in the county; the resolution was adopted by voice vote.

- Rabies clinic approval — Approved. The treasurer's office requested local governing body approval for the annual rabies clinic (a Code of Virginia requirement); the board moved and approved the authorization.

Procedural votes

- Agenda and minutes — Approved by voice vote earlier in the meeting.

What the record shows about votes and movers

Most motions were made and carried by voice vote with the transcript recording "All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? The motion carries." Individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the public transcript. Where the transcript records a motion it records the motion text (e.g., "I'd like to approve this application with the recommendations of the Planning Commission").
