Grottoes planning commission approves bylaws edits, sets committee rosters and recommends B‑2 development
Summary
The Grottoes Planning Commission approved minutes and staff‑edited bylaws, confirmed committee assignments, and unanimously recommended the council approve a B‑2 development request for a roughly 2,400 sq ft building on 4th Street in Dogwood.
The Grottoes Planning Commission approved a package of procedural items and took a recommendation‑level vote on a B‑2 zoning request at its meeting.
Chairman Nicely called for a motion to approve the minutes from the March 31, 2026 meeting; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. The commission then set committee assignments for the comprehensive plan, capital improvements and land‑use/zoning committees and approved bylaws with staff‑recommended edits after brief discussion. "I think a lot of these things are already done," Chairman Nicely said while moving the bylaws item forward; commissioners voted to approve the staff edits on a unanimous voice vote.
On a separate agenda item, staff described a request to construct an approximately 2,400‑square‑foot building in a B‑2 (planned business) district on 4th Street in Dogwood. The applicant, identified in the record as Mr. May, said he wants to build and determine which business will occupy the structure. The commission debated whether the use is permitted in B‑2 or requires a conditional use permit and then voted to recommend approval to the town council with the staff‑recommended condition(s). The motion carried unanimously; the recommendation goes to the town council for final action.
No formal votes with named tallies were recorded on the transcript; in each instance the minutes record a unanimous voice vote.
