Board approves Church of God Campground amendment to allow 29 RV sites and neighborhood commercial uses
Summary
The planning board approved an amendment to the Church of God Campground PUD to add neighborhood commercial (C1) uses and to increase total permanent RV sites to 29; staff found the amendment consistent with land development regulations and several nearby residents raised questions about potential congregate living uses.
The Planning & Zoning Board approved an amendment to the Church of God Campground planned unit development ordinance to permit neighborhood commercial uses and to allow a total of 29 permanent RV sites on the ~43-acre property in the Leesburg area. Planner Megan Raci told the board staff found the request consistent with the comprehensive plan and local regulations. "The applicant is requesting to amend their planned unit development ordinance... to revise the land uses to include neighborhood commercial C1 uses, increase the total number of RV sites and allow a total of 29 permanent RV sites," she said.
One nearby resident said materials referenced an 80-bed adult congregate living facility and worried the property could be used in ways inconsistent with neighbors' expectations; the applicant's representative, John Stockham, said the amendment's changes are limited to adding the commercial corner and the RV spaces. After questions about floodplain setbacks and site plan review requirements, the board moved to approve the amendment and the motion carried.
