Summary

At its meeting the Buckingham County Planning Commission approved the agenda and minutes, forwarded ZMA366 to the Board of Supervisors, set a public hearing for Goodwin's agritourism application (26SUP368), and tabled the Jones rental/group‑home application (26SUP367) for zoning clarification.

The Buckingham County Planning Commission took several procedural and action items during the meeting: it approved the meeting agenda and the 02/23/2026 minutes; forwarded ZMA366 (Dickerson Surveying LLC) to the Board of Supervisors; set case 26SUP368 (George Goodwin’s agritourism expansion) for public hearing next month; and tabled case 26SUP367 (Andrea and Gerard Jones) pending zoning clarification on whether their proposal constitutes a residential group home, boarding house or apartment‑style use.

Staff confirmed two members of the public spoke during the public‑comment period: George Goodwin (who also later appeared as an applicant) voiced concerns about solar siting, and Bob Rec (District 1) made extended public remarks about prior planning matters. The commission also received a subcommittee report recommending conversion of the county’s solar policy to an ordinance; that draft was forwarded to public hearing on April 27, 2026.

Commissioners discussed meeting decorum and asked staff to reintroduce a statement on expected behaviors before future public‑comment periods. The meeting adjourned after commissioners thanked a departing member for their service.
