Board approves pool supply store special use permit and exempts volunteer fire/rescue signs from sign ordinance
Summary
The board approved SUP 26:08 to allow a specialty retail store at 4643 Thomas Jefferson Parkway and adopted ZTA 26:10 to exempt volunteer fire department and rescue squad signs from the county sign ordinance; SUP passed 5-0 and ZTA passed 4-0-1 with one abstention.
The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors on April 15 approved a special use permit and a zoning text amendment affecting local land use and signage.
The board approved SUP 26:08, which permits a specialty retail store (RDL Pool Supply) to operate at 4643 Thomas Jefferson Parkway on a 3.1‑acre parcel (Tax Map 18‑A‑4). The board opened a public hearing on the request and, with no speakers during the hearing, adopted the special use permit by a unanimous vote (5‑0).
Later in the meeting the board considered ZTA 26:10, an amendment to the Fluvanna County Zoning Ordinance to add language exempting signs for volunteer fire departments and rescue squads from requirements in the County Sign Ordinance. John Lye spoke in support of the amendment during the public hearing. The board found the amendment appropriate for public necessity, convenience, and general welfare and approved ZTA 26:10 on a 4‑0‑1 vote; one member recorded an abstention.
County Attorney Dan Whitten and Planning Director Todd Fortune were present for the ZTA discussion. The board’s actions change the sign ordinance’s applicability for volunteer emergency service organizations, aligning signage rules with the requested exemptions.
Both votes concluded routine land‑use and zoning items on the agenda; the board did not attach special conditions to SUP 26:08 during the meeting.
