Grayson County approves rezoning for livestock veterinary hauling facility
Summary
The board approved rezoning 1.421 acres (Tax Map 77‑A‑27B) from rural farm to commercial to allow a livestock hauling/veterinary facility; planning staff said the planning commission recommended approval and cited consistency with the comprehensive plan.
The Grayson County Board of Supervisors voted July 9 to approve a rezoning application (20260037) to change 1.421 acres of Tax Map 77‑A‑27B from Rural Farm to Commercial so the owner can operate a livestock hauling and veterinary facility.
Planning staff presented the application and said the planning commission recommended approval at its June 16, 2026 public hearing. Staff told supervisors the request was consistent with the December 2024 comprehensive plan, noted the parcel is part of a 677.697‑acre dairy operation, and said surrounding acreage is protected by conservation easements, reducing the likelihood of incompatible commercial development. Staff also referenced state regulations that govern veterinary facilities and sanitation (Title 54.1, Chapter 38 of the Code of Virginia and Virginia Board of Veterinary Medicine regulations).
The board opened and closed the public hearing after noting no registered speakers and moved to accept the planning commission’s recommendation. The motion passed by voice vote at the meeting; no roll‑call tally for individual supervisors was recorded in the transcript beyond the verbal ayes and no formal appeal or remand was recorded.
The approval allows the applicant to proceed with site development subject to any required permits and compliance with state veterinary regulations and local permitting requirements.
