Waynesboro Planning Commission recommends ZBA review of conditional-use permit for adult learning facility; considers rules for family burial plots
Summary
On Jan. 9, 2025, the Waynesboro Planning Commission recommended that the Zoning Board of Appeals approve a conditional-use permit for an Adult Learning & Activity Facility at 540 Pauline Jenkins Street and discussed proposed additional regulations for family burial plots on residential property in Huntington Place; the burial-plot item was tabled to Feb. 6, 2025.
On Jan. 9, 2025, the Waynesboro Planning Commission voted to recommend that the Zoning Board of Appeals approve a conditional-use permit for an Adult Learning & Activity Facility proposed at 540 Pauline Jenkins Street (Map & Tax Parcel W02-013B).
The meeting minutes list Chair Monica Payton, Board Members Michelle Fort, Katherine Kelly and Bill Tinley, and Community Development Director Shelley Broxton as present. The commission also unanimously approved the previous meeting’s minutes after a motion by Board Member Michelle Fort and a second by Board Member Katherine Kelly.
The minutes state that a petition requesting a Conditional Use Permit was filed for the adult learning and activity facility at the Pauline Jenkins Street address. After what the minutes describe as “considerable discussion,” Board Member Bill Tinley moved and Board Member Katherine Kelly seconded a motion to recommend approval of the conditional-use application to the Zoning Board of Appeals; the minutes record the recommendation but do not provide a vote tally for that motion.
Separately, the record notes that a citizen contacted the Community Development office and submitted a Conditional Use Application seeking permission to establish a family burial plot on residential property in Huntington Place. The minutes state that cemeteries and family burial plots are currently allowed in all zones with an approved CUP and that the present request would not remove the CUP requirement but would impose additional regulations for family burial plots if a CUP were granted.
The commission tabled the burial-plot regulation matter until Feb. 6, 2025. With no other business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:17 p.m.
Votes at a glance: - Approval of previous minutes: mover Michelle Fort; second Katherine Kelly; outcome: approved (minutes record a unanimous vote). - Motion to recommend approval of conditional-use application to Zoning Board of Appeals: mover Bill Tinley; second Katherine Kelly; outcome: recommendation recorded, vote tally not specified in the minutes.
