Summary

After reviewing draft zoning amendments for multiple parcels and a proposed ordinance to regulate cannabis growing facilities (Ordinance 24-05), commissioners agreed to table the items; President Hardee said he wants a site visit to a Centreville cannabis operation before making a decision.

Commissioners reviewed draft zoning-map amendments affecting parcels owned by Salthouse, LLC and the Frank S. Dudley Jr. Real Estate Trust, and discussed Ordinance 24-05, which would add zoning regulations for cannabis growing facilities. After discussion the commission agreed to table the zoning map amendments and Ordinance 24-05 for further review.

President Al Hardee said he wanted to visit a cannabis growing facility in Centreville before making any decision on local regulations for cultivation facilities and asked Town Manager Amy Moore to arrange the visit. No votes were taken to adopt any of the draft zoning amendments or Ordinance 24-05 at the meeting; commissioners postponed action to a future date to allow additional fact‑finding and site review.

Tabling preserves commissioners’ ability to consider local zoning classifications and regulatory language after inspecting an operational facility and reviewing potential community impacts and standards used elsewhere. Staff flagged the pending rezoning items for future agendas when additional information is available.
