Board approves rezoning and special-use permit for Tomahawk Creek convenience store and fuel dispensary
Summary
The board voted 5–0 to rezone 0.36 acres at 16584 Tomahawk Creek Road to limited commercial (REZ23‑09) and to grant a special-use permit (SUP23‑11) to allow fuel dispensing; the planning commission had recommended approval.
The Orange County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning and a special-use permit for an existing convenience store at 16584 Tomahawk Creek Road.
Planner Segura Davis presented REZ23‑09 (Binti LLC), explaining the 0.36‑acre property (tax map 45‑51B) is currently nonconforming under agricultural zoning and that the applicant, Sunil Kapar, requested rezoning to limited commercial conditional to address nonconformity. The planning commission recommended approval.
Kelsey Schlein, planner with Schimp Engineering, said the store has existed since the 1950s and that the current applications were prompted by a proposed digital fuel-price sign and updated branding. The special-use permit (SUP23‑11) would allow fuel dispensing with conditions including no parking in the VDOT right-of-way and designated pull‑through parking spaces.
Supervisor Speaker 11 moved to accept the REZ23‑09 application; Speaker 3 seconded. The board conducted a roll-call vote and the motion passed 5–0 (Mister Marshall: Aye; Mister Vanhoven: Aye; Mister Johnson: Aye; Mister Nichol: Aye; Miss Hale: Aye). Speaker 11 then moved to approve SUP23‑11; Speaker 3 seconded and that motion also passed 5–0.
No members of the public had signed up to speak during the hearings. The approvals bring the property into conformity with the ordinance conditional on the proffers and site conditions described in the planning materials and recorded in the related resolutions.
