Board approves special‑exception for vision center at Daleville Town Center, with conditions to protect green space and farmers market
Summary
Supervisors approved a special‑exception permit for a 7,000 sq ft vision care facility at Daleville Town Center, subject to planning‑commission recommended conditions; public commenters asked the developer and board to protect the farmers market and community green space.
The Board approved a special‑exception permit allowing a two‑story, 7,000 square‑foot vision care facility at Daleville Town Center, subject to conditions recommended by the planning commission. Conditions require substantial conformance to the concept plan and elevations, prohibit invasive plant species in landscaping, and constrain noise to comply with the zoning and noise ordinances. The planning commission also recommended a condition limiting this approval to vision‑care services and excluding other, more intensive medical or dental uses without additional approvals.
Applicant representatives said the facility is planned with shared parking and hours expected to match daytime medical office use. Developer representatives and the applicant told the board they have offered the farmers‑market organization alternative locations for market events during construction and have discussed shared parking arrangements.
Multiple public commenters — including farmers‑market vendors — urged the board and developer to preserve the market’s visibility and to avoid moving it to a hot paved surface. One vendor asked the county, the developer and market organizers to coordinate a permanent solution so the market remains a central community amenity.
The board acknowledged the community value of the farmers market and approved the special‑exception with the planning‑commission conditions recorded in the packet.
