Planning commission backs staff to draft Halifax County tourism-zone ordinance
Summary
The planning commission voted by voice to let staff work with named local contacts to draft a tourism-zone ordinance for Halifax County and bring the draft back for a public hearing.
During the meeting, a planning commission member said Halifax County has not yet used a state tourism-zone tool that has been available for about 20 years and noted the town of South Boston already has a tourism zone. "You may add, this is a great tool that the state has given us," an unidentified speaker said.
Unidentified Speaker (S2) asked the planning commission to support staff working with Miss Hamilton, Mister Brown and Mister Abrau to prepare and return a draft ordinance for public hearing. A motion was called for; the motion was moved and a voice vote was taken. The chair asked for "aye"; attendees responded "aye" and no opposition was recorded on the audio excerpt presented in the transcript.
The motion advances staff authority to work with the listed contacts on a draft tourism-zone ordinance; the transcript does not record who formally moved or seconded the motion by name, nor does it show individual roll-call votes. Next steps noted in the meeting are for staff to prepare the draft and return it to the planning commission for a public hearing.
