Board amends Vinton Business Center master plan for remaining PTD parcels
Summary
The board also approved an amendment to the Vinton Business Center master plan covering roughly 60.704 acres for the remaining PTD lots; staff said the revised master plan will govern future industrial or commercial development on Lots 2, 3 and 4.
The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors voted Dec. 16 to amend the master plan for the remaining Planned Technology Development (PTD) parcels in the Vinton Business Center, a separate application tied to the larger rezoning action for adjacent lots.
Philip Thompson, Roanoke County director of planning, said the amended master plan will apply to Lots 2, 3 and 4 (about 60.704 acres) and spells out permitted uses, setbacks, buffer yards, parking and other zoning standards for any future development. He said one of the lots is graded and pad‑ready; another contains an existing business (Cardinal Blast). The planning commission recommended approval.
A motion to approve the petition from the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority and Cardinal IG Company carried on a roll call vote recorded in the transcript as unanimously affirmative. The amended master plan will guide subsequent site plan and building plan reviews for developments on the remaining parcels.
Because the board approved both the rezoning of the front parcels to R‑3 and the amended master plan for the back parcels, county staff said the action intentionally concentrates future industrial uses on select lots while allowing residential development along Cardinal Park Drive where industrial market interest has been limited.
Next steps for property owners interested in developing the PTD parcels remain site plan review and building permits under the amended master plan.
