Votes split 3-3 on Albemarle rezoning; commission makes no recommendation
Summary
Two separate motions — one to recommend denial and another to recommend approval with conditions — each resulted in 3-3 ties, so the Planning Commission did not provide a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors; recorded vote tallies and named votes are included.
At the conclusion of debate on ZMA 2025-10 (Airport Road Commercial), commissioners voted on two separate motions and both resulted in 3-3 ties, producing no recommendation for the Board of Supervisors.
Motion to recommend denial (moved by Commissioner (speaker 8), seconded by Commissioner (speaker 4)) recorded votes: Aye — Miss Brown, Mister Moore, Miss Firehawk; No — Mister Claiborne, Mister Carrizzana, Miss King. Tally: 3 yes, 3 no, 1 absent (Mister Murray). The commission chair ruled a tie meant there was no recommendation.
A subsequent motion (moved by Commissioner (speaker 3), seconded by Commissioner (speaker 9)) to recommend approval with conditions (increase buffer to 50 feet, remove the western walking path, and configure the right-of-way so the road would not connect to the neighborhood initially) was also recorded as a 3-3 tie. Recorded votes: Aye — Miss King, Mister Carrizzana, Mister Claiborne; No — Miss Firehawk, Mister Moore, Miss Brown. Because both motions tied, staff will forward the application and record to the Board of Supervisors for final action.
