Board approves special‑use permit for two farm dwellings, bars short‑term rentals
Summary
The Board approved SUP26‑0670 for two additional dwellings at 7384 East Point Road (Elkton) for long‑term farm help, with a condition that both dwellings may not be used as short‑term rentals.
The Rockingham County Board of Supervisors approved SUP26‑0670 on July 8, allowing two additional dwellings at 7384 East Point Road in Elkton to house workers who will help operate the farm.
Deputy Zoning Administrator Daniel J. Barnett summarized the application and applicant Paul Doval told the Board the property is a "beef and crop farm" and that his "intention is for long‑term rental use." Supervisor Wolfe‑Garrison requested a condition prohibiting short‑term rentals. By roll call vote the Board approved the SUP 4‑1; the conditions include: "Both dwellings are not to be used as short‑term rentals." The Board did not further define rental administration or monitoring at the meeting.
The decision notes the dwellings are intended for long‑term support of farm operations; staff will implement conditions as part of the zoning permit process.
