Charlotte County Planning Commission recommends conditional use permit for Love Over Crisis office with conditions
Summary
The commission voted 8-2 on June 28, 2022 to recommend approval of a conditional use permit allowing Love Over Crisis, LLC to operate a nonresidential office at 1839 Thomas Jefferson Highway; the vote included five staff-proposed conditions that bar residential uses and authorize county compliance checks.
CHARLOTTE COURT HOUSE, Va. — The Charlotte County Planning Commission on June 28 recommended approval of a conditional use permit for Love Over Crisis, LLC to establish an office at 1839 Thomas Jefferson Highway (Tax Parcel #38-1-4A).
The commission voted 8-2 to recommend the permit, with W.V. Nichols and Patrick Andrews voting no and all other members present voting yes. There was no public comment during the hearing on the application.
Assistant County Administrator Monica Elder presented the staff report and commissioners probed what services the organization would provide. Shelley Mays-Couch, President of Love Over Crisis, LLC, told the commission the group would offer “care coordination and placement assistance as well as other services based on individual needs.”
Commissioner Cornell Goldman moved to recommend approval with five staff-proposed conditions. The conditions require the property to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and permits; require the facility to operate in substantial compliance with the submitted application and approved site plan; prohibit residential uses or overnight accommodations and require the use to meet the Charlotte County Zoning Ordinance definition of “office”; permit the County Administrator, Building Official, Zoning Administrator or designees to enter the property with reasonable notice to check compliance subject to health and safety standards; and state that infractions may lead to a stop order and possible revocation of the permit by the Board of Supervisors.
The ordinance definition read into the record states: “Office. A building, room or group of rooms used for conducting the clerical and management functions of a business, profession, service, or government. For the purpose of this ordinance, an office shall not involve manufacturing, fabrication, production, processing, assembling, cleaning, testing or repair of materials, goods or products.”
After the vote, Ms. Mays-Couch asked about the inclusion of the access provision allowing county officials to enter the property; staff responded that the clause is standard language the county uses to provide oversight of development and compliance.
The commission carried the motion to recommend approval and later adjourned the meeting.
