Onancock staff: rezoning application for 77 Kerr St misfiled; special-use permit required

Town of Onancock Planning Commission · October 1, 2024

Summary

Town Manager Matt Spuck told the Planning Commission that a newly filed rezoning application for 77 Kerr St was submitted in error; staff say the correct path is a special-use permit and the item will be presented at the next meeting.

Town Manager Matt Spuck told the Onancock Planning Commission on Oct. 7 that a house at 77 Kerr St had been purchased and the new owner submitted a rezoning application. Staff reviewed the submission and determined the application type was incorrect: a special-use permit is required for the proposed change. The minutes state the application will be presented at the next Planning Commission meeting after correction.

During public comment earlier in the meeting, Priscilla Hart asked whether a new planning commissioner would be appointed that night; Chairperson Schreiber explained that the town council makes appointments and the commission's role is to recommend candidates. Another resident, Kasey Grier, suggested that the Liberty Street extension be annexed by the town to allow the sale of residential lots; the minutes record that suggestion but do not show any formal action on annexation.

No votes or determinations on 77 Kerr St were taken at the Oct. 7 meeting; the item was continued to a future meeting once staff receive the correct filing.
