Summary

The Lunenburg County Planning Commission on Oct. 5 deferred action on CUP 7-23, an application from Justin Clement for Impact Arms, LLC to operate retail and gunsmithing activities at 3028 Poorhouse Road in an A-1 agricultural zone.

Chairman Buck Tharpe formally called the case and the applicant, Justin Clement, described his business background and outlined the steps he would take to obtain licensing from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Commissioners asked no follow-up questions during the hearing.

Citing the same concern as in an earlier item — a delayed staff report — Chairman Tharpe moved to defer a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors; Commissioner Edward Pennington seconded. The roll-call vote mirrored the Parrish matter and the motion passed 4–3 (Yea: Drummond, Tharpe, Pennington, Trent; Nay: Jennings, Garrett, Thompson).

No final permit decision was made; the commission will readdress the application once staff materials are complete.
