Planning Commission adopts conditional use permit for landscape contracting and recycling at 4606 South 1st Street
Summary
The Norfolk Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution 2026‑PC‑6, granting Janice Lambrook a 10‑year conditional use permit for landscape contracting and recycling at 4606 South 1st Street, subject to operating hours, stockpile setbacks, surfacing requirements and other conditions in Norfolk City Code §27‑56.
The Norfolk Planning Commission on July 7 unanimously adopted Resolution 2026‑PC‑6, approving a conditional use permit for landscape contracting and recycling at 4606 South 1st Street for applicant Janice Lambrook.
Chair read the resolution into the record before the commission voted to adopt. The permit includes specific operating conditions: hours for the wood chipper are limited to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturdays; stockpiled materials must follow the attached site plan and be located at least 25 feet north of existing power poles along West South Airport Road; and stockpiling must be managed to avoid hazards to people or adjoining properties. If West South Airport Road is later paved in front of the site, the applicant must hard‑surface at least 100 feet of the ingress/egress drive within one year of the road paving so traffic from the site remains on hard surfacing until it reaches the road.
The resolution notes relief from some tree landscaping requirements along West South Airport Road because of existing power poles and states the conditional use permit is granted for 10 years as a personal privilege to the applicant and is nontransferable. Failure to observe the conditions may lead to code enforcement and review, alteration or termination of the permit. The resolution references compliance with Norfolk City Code section 27‑56 and preserves the right to appeal the planning commission decision within 15 days.
A commission member moved the resolution and a colleague seconded; the clerk recorded that all commission members present voted in the affirmative and the motion carried.
The decision does not itself authorize construction or other work that would require separate building, site or environmental permits; those requirements remain subject to applicable city, county, state and federal regulations.
