Bland County supervisors approve rezoning of Building 9 at 696 Main Street
Summary
After a public hearing with neighbors voicing concerns about parking, noise and a potential sports bar, the Bland County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 to rezone Tax Map Number 91A2-2-3A (Building 9 at 696 Main Street) from Agricultural to Commercial.
The Bland County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Dec. 17 to rezone Tax Map Number 91A2-2-3A (Building 9) at 696 Main Street from Agricultural to Commercial, opening the property to commercial uses.
The Planning Commission Secretary, Joel Cagle, told the board the commission recommended the rezoning. The board then opened a public hearing; nearby residents raised concerns about the kinds of businesses the change could allow and about site impacts. Richard Ingram said he worried a sports bar might locate at the site and asked how neighbors would be notified and how parking would be handled. Barbara King said she was concerned about trash, traffic, noise and lighting if the property becomes a commercial business.
After hearing residents, Supervisor Stephen Kelley moved to approve the rezoning. Patrick Groseclose seconded the motion, and a roll-call vote recorded Kelley, Groseclose, Randy Johnson and Keith Costello voting in favor (4-0).
The rezoning was recorded as approved by the board; the transcript does not specify any conditions, timeline for implementation, or an effective date beyond the board's vote. The board did not record any additional follow-up direction about notification to neighbors or parking requirements during the meeting.
The board recessed following the meeting.
