Planning commission recommends approval of SUP 2608 for pool‑supply store on Thomas Jefferson Parkway
Summary
The Fluvanna County Planning Commission voted 5–0 to recommend approval of SUP 2608, a specialty retail special‑use permit that would allow a pool‑and‑spa supply store at 4643 Thomas Jefferson Parkway (tax map 1884), with conditions limiting the use to pool supplies, inside storage only, and a new‑building size cap near 2,000 sq ft.
At its meeting, the Fluvanna County Planning Commission recommended approval of Special Use Permit 2608 for a specialty retail pool‑and‑spa supply store on a 3.1‑acre parcel at 4643 Thomas Jefferson Parkway (tax map 1884).
Planning staff described the proposal as a reuse of an existing building (formerly a barber shop) and said approval would require an approved site development plan and compliance with VDOT and VDH requirements. Staff recommended conditions common to SUPs (abandonment after two consecutive years of discontinuance, standard operational conditions) plus language limiting the authorized use to a single specialty retail store. During discussion commissioners and staff agreed to add two conditions: a restriction that the store be limited to pool supplies and equipment, and a limitation on new building area to approximately 2,000 square feet to preserve the rural character.
Applicant Mr. Leonard said the business would offer "just pool chemicals, pool supplies, parts, pumps, filters," and that storage would be inside the existing structure. Commissioners asked about deliveries and whether the applicant would add outside storage; staff and the applicant confirmed the intention was to keep materials inside and to move forward with a site development plan for any future changes.
Commissioner Logina moved to recommend approval with the added conditions; Commissioner Dorsy seconded. The motion passed 5–0.
What happens next: the planning commission's recommendation will be included in the record sent to the Board of Supervisors, which considers appeals and final decisions.
