Auto‑repair garage SUP in Luray tabled; applicant asked to show expansion plans on site plan
Summary
An application to reopen a public garage at 855 Bixlers Ferry Rd was tabled so the applicant can submit a site plan showing an intended expansion and for staff to confirm septic/wastewater requirements and other permit details.
The Planning Commission tabled a special use permit application from Cody Hoke to operate an auto repair service facility/public garage at 855 Bixlers Ferry Rd (tax map 41-A-57A) after staff and commissioners asked for a clearer site plan showing any planned expansion. The parcel is a 1.075‑acre Agriculture (A‑1) lot in the Secondary Community Service Area; the structure intended for the garage is a 40' x 50' accessory building on the property.
Cassie Richards summarized agency comments: VDOT found the existing entrance adequate, the Page County Health Department said the applicant must consult an AOSE/PE to confirm septic suitability, and the Building Official said necessary permits will be required for any new construction. Applicant Cody Hoke told the commission he inspected the septic and intends to hire mechanics; he said there is an existing two‑bay garage and a poured pad that could support expansion to six bays. Commissioner Catherine Grech told the applicant that any planned expansion should be shown on the site plan to avoid future uncertainty; she moved to table the SUP until the next meeting to allow the applicant to provide that information. Commissioner Sandy Davis seconded the motion and it passed unanimously (6-0).
