Board approves rezoning request for Saint Charles Health Council to site a medical clinic
Summary
Lee County supervisors voted to rezone about 5 acres from agricultural to general business at the request of Saint Charles Health Council Inc., following a unanimous planning commission recommendation and one adjoining property owner’s public support.
The Lee County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning request on April 15 to allow Saint Charles Health Council Incorporated to locate a medical clinic on roughly five acres south of the Kaler community.
The board’s presenter summarized the planning commission’s review, noting the commission evaluated whether the application constituted spot zoning but concluded the clinic would serve the broader community and unanimously recommended approval. The presenter said certified notices were mailed to adjoining property owners and that one property owner phoned in support.
Malcolm Grew, representing Saint Charles Health Council, answered questions about site constraints and permitting. He said permits are in process with Thompson and Witten handling plans and that the applicant has been consulting with VDOT and DEQ. He noted setbacks, proximity to utility lines and a nearby cemetery limited building footprint and complicated adding a second story.
A motion to approve the rezoning was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records affirmative responses but no roll-call tally.
