Board approves C's Auto Sales conditional‑use permit for property on Barnesville Highway
Summary
The Board approved a conditional‑use permit submitted by C's Auto Sales (Lisa T and Clyde C Wilkinson Jr.) for motor‑vehicle sales and a repair shop at 1574 Barnesville Highway, with five standard conditions tied to compliance and revocation authority.
The Board of Supervisors approved a conditional‑use permit for C's Auto Sales, an application filed by Lisa T and Clyde C Wilkinson Jr. for a motor‑vehicle sales operation at 1574 Barnesville Highway (Parcel 85A43).
Planning staff told the board the 1.5‑acre parcel sits in the general agricultural district and includes a pre‑existing building built prior to zoning, resulting in a nonconforming front setback (existing building at about 55 feet vs. required 125 feet). The applicant has installed a driveway onto Route 15; VDOT reviewed and supported a low‑volume commercial entrance subject to permitting and oversight. Staff also noted motor‑vehicle sales require a conditional‑use permit in the zoning ordinance, while a repair shop is a by‑right use.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on Aug. 21 and recommended approval by a 10–0 vote (one member absent). The board approved the permit with the five standard conditions listed in the packet covering compliance with laws, operational adherence to the application, staff access for compliance verification, and the right to revoke the permit if conditions are not met.
What happens next: the applicant will proceed with the approved use and building permit processes for the repair shop (a by‑right use) and implement required conditions. Staff will coordinate VDOT permitting for the driveway construction and ensure compliance with the conditions attached to the permit.
