Planning staff flags local development projects and introduces new senior planner and ombudsman

York County Planning Commission · August 13, 2026

Summary

Staff updated the commission on development activity (Stanley Park Auto, Mike's Towing, Battlefield Trust trail and planting, Paws Pet Resort, new Chipotle and prospective Culver's) and introduced two new staff: Sean McNash (senior planner) and Beau Clayton (assistant county administrator/ombudsman for business development).

Staff provided a development activity report noting approved projects and upcoming site plans. Items highlighted included Stanley Park Auto and Mike's Towing approvals from the July meeting, a commemorative path and tree plantings on Battlefield Trust property off Crawford Road (with planned trail and parking), an approved site plan for Paws Pet Resort (a commercial kennel) on Lightfoot Road, and a new Chipotle (and a proposed Culver's) near Mooretown Road.

Staff also introduced two new county hires: Sean McNash, the new senior planner with eight years’ experience, and Beau Clayton, the new assistant county administrator filling an ombudsman role for business development. Staff said the ombudsman has already engaged with local business recruitment efforts and encouraged commissioners to reach out with questions.
