Council votes to defer conditional use for small site‑development business on Roxanna Road
Summary
Council deferred consideration of conditional use application CU‑2493 (site development business with office and outdoor storage on a 0.45‑acre parcel on Roxanna Road) after a presentation by the applicant; P&Z had recommended approval subject to 14 conditions.
Sussex County Council voted to defer action on conditional use application CU‑2493, which would have allowed a site development business with office space and outdoor storage and parking on a roughly 0.45‑acre parcel on Roxanna Road.
Dan Conway, attorney for the applicant (Mr. Hunt), presented the application and said the proposed use supports a local business that primarily employs county residents. The application was reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission and, according to staff, was recommended for approval on August 6 subject to 14 recommended conditions of approval.
During council discussion counsel and council members considered next steps. One council member moved to defer the item to allow further consideration rather than taking final action at the hearing; the motion to defer was seconded. The council then voted in favor of deferral and the matter was deferred on the record.
The record shows that the applicant indicated willingness to accept Planning & Zoning conditions; however, council elected to defer rather than adopt conditions at this meeting. The deferral preserves the P&Z record and leaves open the opportunity for council to consider the application at a later agenda.
