Goochland supervisors approve consent agenda, library update and routine zoning and tax items
Summary
The board approved a seven‑item consent agenda (MOUs, service agreements, grant budgeting and a VDOT acceptance), heard a Pamunkey Regional Library update and adopted ordinances on floodplain maps, procurement updates and small‑business tax relief; two smaller CUPs (short‑term rental renewal and contractor storage amendment) were also approved.
At its Sept. 3 meeting, the Goochland County Board of Supervisors approved routine business matters and several staff‑recommended ordinance changes.
Consent agenda: The board approved seven consent items as presented, including scheduling a Nov. 6 public hearing to remove 655 Monacan Drive from the TCSD, an extension of the MOU with Monacan Soil & Water Conservation District to four years, a services agreement amendment with Central Virginia Waste Management Authority for used‑oil collection (five‑year term with a five‑year extension option), and budget authority to record additional Fire Rescue grant funds ($38,824) to reflect the actual award ($126,724). The board also authorized a resolution requesting VDOT accept 0.2 miles of Mosaic Creek Boulevard into the secondary system.
Library report: Barbara Young, Goochland's representative to the Pamunkey Regional Library Board, updated supervisors on leadership changes (acting director Jamie Stoops and acting assistant director Sharita Bridal), completion status of prior audits and a temporary five‑year plan; staff aim to complete a comprehensive five‑year plan by December 2025. Jamie Stoops highlighted a 68% increase in meeting‑room usage and 14% increase in branch visits at the county branch and thanked the board for funding expanded evening hours that helped increase participation.
Other ordinances and staff reports: The board adopted a zoning ordinance amendment to incorporate updated FEMA flood insurance rate maps (to keep county participation in the National Flood Insurance Program) and approved amendments aligning the county's procurement code with 2023–24 state changes (cooperative procurement, contract objection rules, design‑build policy). The board also approved an ordinance to provide targeted small‑business tax relief by raising certain minimum assessments and adjusting business license thresholds.
Small CUPs: The board approved a renewal of a conditional use permit for a short‑term unhosted rental on Shepherdtown Road (CUP CU‑2024‑15) and granted Nicholas Fleming an amendment to a CUP (CU‑2024‑17) allowing small contractor storage with conditions and a five‑year expiration; Fleming described difficulty locating affordable commercial land and said the proposed building would be oriented away from the neighboring residence.
The meeting included routine reports from VDOT and other county staff; supervisors asked follow‑ups about roadside herbicide application schedules and ditching on specific roads.
What happens next: Staff will finalize ordinance language and record CUP conditions; departments will track implementation and notify supervisors of any follow‑up items.
