Staff: B‑2 zoning compatible with town‑center plan; VDOT/VDH approvals required
Summary
Planning staff told commissioners that B‑2 zoning is consistent with the county's comprehensive plan for the town‑center area, cited allowable uses in B‑2, and noted VDOT access and Virginia Department of Health approvals are prerequisites for development.
Planning staff presented the staff report for PD‑26‑1 and the related conditional use permit C‑26‑2, describing the B‑2 zoning classification, surrounding land uses and technical constraints.
Staff recited uses allowed by right in B‑2—retail, offices, service stations, public garages and other general business uses—and advised that tractor‑trailer service would require a conditional use permit. Staff said that the subject parcel is not served by public water and sewer and that any on‑site water and sanitary systems would require approval from the Virginia Department of Health. The presentation also noted VDOT comments that Route 619 (Courthouse Road) has a functional classification of major collector with an ADT of about 1,700 vehicles and that a commercial entrance meeting VDOT intersection sight‑distance and spacing standards will be required.
Staff concluded that, with appropriate conditions and required department approvals, the rezoning and the CUP could meet the county code's intent and protect public health, safety and welfare.
