Clifton council extends two preliminary use permits and approves new accounting-office permit
Summary
Council extended preliminary permits for 12640 School Street and 12725 Clifton Heights Lane and approved a new commercial use permit for Anthony Reid & Associates at 12644 Chapel Road, subject to parking tabulation confirmation. The council also set a joint public hearing on DEQ-required zoning changes.
The Clifton Town Council accepted Planning Commission recommendations Oct. 6 to extend two preliminary use permits and to approve a new commercial use permit.
Mayor William Hollaway moved to extend the preliminary use permit for 12640 School Street to Aug. 31, 2021 on the same terms and conditions; Vice Mayor Steve Effros seconded. The motion passed by roll-call: Hollaway Aye; Regan McDonald Aye; Effros Aye; Patrick Pline Aye; Darrell Poe Abstained. The council also extended the preliminary use permit for 12725 Clifton Heights Lane to May 31, 2021; that motion was seconded by Councilmember Poe and approved unanimously, 5-0.
Separately, the council approved issuing a new use permit to Anthony Reid & Associates, LLC for an accounting firm at 12644 Chapel Road (Suites 113 and 210). The permit covers 384 net square feet, allows five employees and proposed hours of operation from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week; two parking spaces were allocated to the business based on the additional square footage. The Planning Commission and council noted that the property's parking tabulation will be updated by the property owner to demonstrate the allocation of tenant spaces on site.
The Planning Commission also asked the council to set a joint public hearing on zoning ordinance language required by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality relating to the Town Code, chapter 11 (Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance); the council set that joint public hearing for Nov. 4, 2020 at 7:30 p.m.
Royce Jarrendt reported that the Architectural Review Board met with the owner of 7184 Clifton Road and outlined the remedies for cited violations; the ARB will inspect on-site construction and notify the Mayor when its holds on the Certificate of Occupancy are released. The ARB requested that the town send notices to property owners regarding unapproved signage; the council discussed enforcement authority and allowed currently displayed yard signs to remain until normal expiration.
