Pittsylvania County planning commission recommends rezoning for eight small parcels, approves utility and subdivision items
Summary
The commission recommended rezoning for seven residential parcels to agricultural or business zoning and approved a subdivision-ordinance amendment and an electric cooperative parcel rezoning. All rezoning recommendations were forwarded to the Board of Supervisors; most votes were unanimous.
The Pittsylvania County Planning Commission on May 5 recommended a series of zoning changes for small parcels across the county and approved an amendment to the county subdivision ordinance.
At the meeting the commission recommended approval of seven land-use petitions, including rezoning requests R-26-018 (David C. Martin, 20.08 acres on U.S. Highway 29) and R-26-019 (Barry M. and Caroline J. Lewis, 105.51 acres on State Road 618) from residential districts to A1 agricultural to allow farming uses. Staff presented summaries for each petition; petitioners or their representatives attended to answer questions. Each of the seven zoning recommendations (R-26-018, R-26-019, R-26-020, R-26-021, R-26-022, R-26-023, and R-26-024) passed the commission by recorded votes, most by 5–0.
The commission also advanced R-26-024, a 38.034-acre rezoning request from R1 to B2 from Mecklenburg Electric Co-op for an office, warehouse, and a public-facility storage yard; Tim Bolt of the co-op said a future special-use permit will be required for the storage yard. Commissioners noted the planned storage function and that future permitting would regulate uses at the site.
In separate business, the commission accepted phase one of an amendment to Chapter 18 (subdivision ordinance) to establish an administrative-review process for minor subdivisions, boundary-line adjustments and lot consolidations; staff said the amendment incorporated feedback from surveyors.
These planning-commission recommendations move to the Board of Supervisors, which has the final authority on zoning and ordinance amendments.
