Commission recommends denial of proffer amendment for Big Daddy’s property amid enforcement concerns
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended denial of a proffer amendment requested by Big Daddy’s Oilville Office Land Holding Corporation, which sought removal of a screening requirement and an obsolete building‑approval condition. The applicant argued enforcement in the industrial park had been inconsistent; commissioners cited policy and comprehensive‑plan concerns.
Goochland County planning staff presented a request by Big Daddy's Oilville Office Land Holding Corporation to amend proffers for a 2.17‑acre parcel in Old Dominion Industrial Park, removing a screening requirement for outdoor storage and deleting a proffer that required building approval by two now‑deceased individuals.
Evan Weiner, the applicant and managing member, said he purchased the parcel after receiving a zoning confirmation letter and described what he said were inconsistent enforcement practices across the industrial park; in his presentation he showed photographs and argued that other parcels — including a county bus garage — lacked the screening that his parcel would be required to provide.
Staff noted removal of the screening proffer would not align with comprehensive plan implementation strategies calling for site design and landscaping that enhances development. After public comment and discussion about the county’s complaint‑driven enforcement practices, a commissioner moved and the commission voted to recommend denial of the proffer amendment on a three‑zero vote. The staff record indicates the case will go to the Board of Supervisors on Sept. 4, 2025.
