Board adopts drive-through zoning changes and conveys easement; continues Tractor Supply hearing
Loading...
Summary
The Board adopted ordinance O26-10 updating drive-through performance standards to allow certain drive-through restaurants on lower-class streets, approved an easement conveyance ordinance (26-60) for Dominion Energy at Goodwin Neck campus, approved the consent calendar including a Springfield Road sewer extension, and continued the Tractor Supply public hearing to May 19.
The York County Board of Supervisors moved several items on April 21, 2026: it adopted a zoning amendment ordinance to modernize drive-through performance standards, approved a permanent easement conveyance to allow county facility construction, approved the consent calendar (including a Springfield Road sanitary sewer extension), and continued a Tractor Supply public hearing to May 19.
Nut graf: After staff presentations and required public hearings (with no public speakers on the specific items), the board adopted ordinance 26-10 to permit certain drive-through restaurant uses on lower-class streets under updated performance standards; it also adopted ordinance 26-60 to convey a permanent easement to Dominion Energy at 103 Service Drive to facilitate an IT building addition. The board approved the consent calendar, which included an accelerated sanitary-sewer project, and formally continued the Tractor Supply application to May 19 at the applicants request.
Earl Anderson, director of planning and development, explained ZT219-26 and said the Planning Commission had recommended unanimous approval. Anderson summarized the change as a modernization of language to allow a narrower set of drive-through uses to access sites across from the Walmart near the Wawa: "We have adjusted the regulations for drive through performance standards to allow basically, a use that would go across from the Walmart, near the Wawa," Anderson said. After opening the required public hearing and hearing no speakers, the board adopted proposed ordinance 26-10 by roll call.
On a separate item, Rob Krieger requested the board convey a permanent easement for Dominion Energy at 103 Service Drive so the county can move lines and proceed with an addition to an existing county building at the Goodwin Neck campus; the board adopted ordinance 26-60 by roll call after the public hearing was closed with no speakers.
The Tractor Supply public hearing (application UP-1065-26) was continued to May 19 at the applicants request; the board voted to continue the hearing on a motion by Mrs. Noll. The consent calendar was approved and included two items of note: the Outstanding Youth Award scholarship program for 2026 and the Springfield Road sanitary sewer extension (accelerated project funding discussed in prior sessions).
Roll-call votes as recorded in the minutes show unanimous support on the adopted ordinances and consent calendar. Where the board adopted ordinances the clerk read the motion and each named member recorded a "Yes."
