Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

All right. I'll call to order the January 14th, 2026 meeting of the planning commission. The code of Virginia requires local governments to have a planning commission, the purpose of which is to advise the board of supervisors on land use and planning issues affecting the county. This responsibility is exercised through recommendations conveyed by resolutions or other official means and all are a matter of public record. The commission is comprised of seven of seven citizen volunteers appointed by the board with one representative from each voting district and two at large members. Roll call, please. Mr. Chamberlain here. Mr. Titus here. Mr. Brooks here. Mr. King here. Mr. Kryer here. Mr. Smith here.

Mr. Wasman. Mr. Chairman, you have a quorum.

All right. Thank you. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance and to the stands nationy for all. Okay, I'm going to deviate from the minutes for just a minute to congratulate Earl Anderson on being named director for the planning division. So interim is gone. So Earl, congratulations. All right, next is the approval of the minutes. Any comments on the minutes? Mr. Chairman, I move we accept the minutes as written.

All right. Motion been made to accept the minutes. Roll call, please. The motion made by Mr. Kryer is to adopt the minutes of the regular meeting on December 10th, 2025. Mr. Titus, yes. Mr. Brooks, yes. Mr. King, yes. Mr. Kryer, yes. Mr. Smith, yes. Mr. Chamberlain, yes. The motion passes.

All right. Next is citizen comments and this is a chance for citizens to address the commission on anything that's not on the agenda tonight. I don't have any cards. Any anybody? Seeing none, we'll move on to public hearings. Um I just open the public hearing, right?

Continue. All right. Okay, good evening. Hey, this application submitted by the Lafayette Gun Club is a request for a special use permit to establish an indoor firing range at 331 Dare Road. During the December planning commission meeting, the commission voted to continue this application to today's meeting. Subject property is 26.3 acres in size. A majority of the subject parcel is zoned resource conservation or RC uh with a tenth of an acre portion located at the entrance of the property zoned medium density single family residential or R20. The entire parcel is designated medium-density residential in the comprehensive plan. The subject parcel is bounded to the east by Brandy Wine Housing Subdivision and a portion of the lake owned by the Brandy Wine Lake Owners Association which are zoned R20. To the south is Kohl's Course Autism Therapy Station, otherwise known as Chats, and Peninsula Hardwood Mulch, both zoned RC. To the west is a single family dwelling, Jacob Springs Housing Subdivision, and Lakeside Baptist Church, which are all zoned R20. And to the north are three single family dwellings, which are also zoned R20. According to property records, existing development on this parcel includes a clubhouse, an indoor firing range, outdoor firing ranges, and an outdoor shotgun range. The applicant is seeking authorization to establish a new approximately 12,600 ft indoor firing

range on their property. According to section 24.1-306, category 9, number seven, indoor firing ranges are permitted in the RC zoning district by special use permit. The new indoor building will be located where the current shotgun range is and the shotgun range will shift approximately 150 ft south. Section 24.1-457 establishes performance standards for firing ranges. Section 24.1-457A states, "With the exception of paintball ranges, only completely enclosed indoor firing ranges are permitted. The applicant proposes establishing a new completely enclosed indoor firing range which meets this standard. The subject parcel contains several outdoor firing ranges which were built in 1950. Your county's first zoning ordinance was adopted in 1957. Therefore, the existing outdoor firing ranges on the subject parcel are considered a legally non-conforming use and are allowed to continue. Any new land use established on the subject parcel must comply with the regulations of the zoning ordinance. Section 24.1-457B states, "No structure except screening fences and identification signs used for firing ranges shall be located closer than 100 ft to any residential lot line. The new indoor uh range would be approximately 134 ft from the nearest property line on Pearly Court and approximately 225 ft from the Holden Lane area. The application meets this requirement. So section 24.1-457C of the zoning ordinance states that the protection of adjacent properties shall be assured by proper design, location, and orientation of structures, back stops, and firing lines. While this standard cannot be applied to the existing legally non-conforming outdoor shooting ranges, the applicant has taken steps to mitigate the impact of the outdoor ranges using physical features like the proposed additional landscaping

and existing earth and BMS. As stated in the applicant's narrative, we plan to uh install additional landscape buffering are Bervide and Legustroom for Holden Lane, the primary line of sight to the new indoor range building. This would provide a visual block running laterally from the east side of the Lafayette Gun Club's main gate to the northwest corner of the current indoor range along Ply Court uh line of site. The majority of the building will be blocked by the existing western burm and trees. Additional landscape buffering for Pearly Court will extend from the north end of the existing gravel drive towards the west side of the Lafayette Gun Club's main gate. Section 24.1-457D states that the indoor range shall be designed so that no range noise is audible at the property line. Documentation certified by an architect and professional engineer to this effect shall be submitted with the site and building plans. If the special use permit is approved, the applicant will be required to submit the necessary documentation for the new indoor firing range during the site plan approval process. However, the applicant has outlined in their narrative some of the measures they've taken to mitigate noise. According to the applicant's narrative, the new indoor firing range will employ state-of-the-art to standard soundproofing. The applicant goes on to say, "The firing range will be fully enveloped within an at least 8 to 10 inch thick cement structure, employ acoustic panels, be enveloped by a wellinssulated building, and have a much lower sound signature than the current indoor range. This documentation is not required for the existing legally non-conforming indoor firing range. Nevertheless, the applicant has taken measures to reduce the noise uh impacts produced by it. The existing indoor range is located approximately 83 feet from the property line adjacent to Holden Lane. And the uh applicant stated in their narrative that while they plan to retain the existing indoor range, they would move a majority of the activity from the existing indoor range to the new one. Activity in the existing indoor range

would be curtailed from the multicaliber facility to a 22 rimfire only facility. The establishment of the new indoor firing range would reduce the impact of noise on the citizens of Holden Lane closest to the existing indoor firing range. According to section 24.1-457E, it shall be the property owner or leie's responsibility to ensure the firing range is managed by an individual currently certified to perform such supervision as a range master or range safety officer by a federal, state, local, or other nationally recognized certification. This does not need to be submitted during the special use permit process, but will need to be presented during annual inspections. The applicant confirmed verbally that they can meet this requirement and will be and will present the documentation upon request. The Lafayette Gun Club is a private establishment secured by a gate at the entrance of the property. The county's Department of Fire and Life Safety reviewed the application and requested that the applicant install a NOX gate switch on the main gate to allow fire apparatus to enter the site for emergencies. A condition of approval has been proposed that would make this a requirement. Letters were sent to adjacent property owners. Information about the application was posted to the county's website and email to those who signed up to receive notifications. And a notice sign was posted on the property. Since the last planning commission meeting, staff received seven letter, I'm sorry, nine letters of support and one letter expressing concern that the offers made by the applicant aren't codified in the resolution as conditions of approval. I emailed these letters to you earlier uh today and I also printed and placed a copy of each uh for each of you on the dis. The the proposed indoor firing range meets the performance standards of the York County code and is proposed to move most activity from the existing indoor range to an improved modern and sound attenuated facility. The new indoor range would be at least uh would be 130 ft from the nearest property line. uh reduce existing noise and provide a

betterment uh to the surrounding community. Therefore, staff recommends approval of this application subject to the condition set forth in proposed resolution number PC25-26. Thank you. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have and the applicant is here as well. Any questions? I'll start down this way. All right. Thank you. Thank you. At this time, I'll reopen the public hearing. Uh, first up is Zeb York from Lafayette Gun Club. And if you would please state your name and address. And you have 10 minutes, but you don't need all 10 minutes.

Uh, Zev York, 312 RTOR Lane, Yorktown, Virginia. Uh, first of all, thanks to the uh, commission and the department for the help uh, putting the packages together and getting here. And I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about the cooperation with the neighbors over the past month. Uh Jenny did a great job outlining the plan. Um and I also covered it last time. So I'll talk a little bit about the homework that the uh commission gave us uh for for this meeting. Jeie, I'm sorry. Here it um I'll start with just a few updates. uh some of the actions we took a couple definitions talking with uh neighbors and uh PE interested in the project. I just want to level the bubbles and and get some common terms. Uh quick review of the plan. I'll talk about our community engagement and some of the actions we've taken and some key takeaways. Open it up for questions. Um, we did engage with the HOAs uh for Brandy Wine, Jacob Springs, and Winders Pond before the last meeting back in November. Uh, we did have a couple blind spots though. One, we weren't aware that there was a Brandy Wine Lake Owners Association. Hoa. Would have been very beneficial. If we'd uh linked with them prior, we would have picked up some of the concerns. Also, we did have uh some issues uh with the uh neighbors on the Brandy Wine side earlier in the spring last year. Uh we thought that uh those issues were closed. We thought resolved to satisfaction. We'd worked through an intermediary a little bit and also minimal communication. Uh as we went out and spoke with those neighbors, we realized that uh we had not uh closed that to satisfaction and that's where a lot of our focus area was in the past month. So we did meet with uh all the members uh that were here last time from

Brandy Wine Holden Laid Jacob Springs Winers Pond and uh Dr. McGavvern out at Chats. Uh we did multiple range tours um for those personnel off-site meetings, phone calls, emails. Uh actually have another range tour scheduled for a Brandy Wine resident this coming Sunday. Um, the Lafayette Gun Club board had several executive meetings, came up with about 10 items uh that we're going to change both physically with our plan and procedural wise. I'll go over those um in the essence or in the effort to uh alleviate concerns and just make our operation better overall. One point that came up was police reports. Uh we do not receive those police reports. Anecdotally, the uh sheriff's officer receives one or two uh found bullet property type reports a month and uh by default they are not forwarded to us. Um that's a a different issue. uh everything from uh privacy act uh and foyer request, but talking with the neighbors, they're certainly more than welcome to file police reports, but what is probably the most important point is to talk to someone on the board of directors to make sure we're getting that direct communication and addressing those concerns. Um couple clarifications as well. Uh Lafayette, we are not expanding. Uh there's been a couple talk about our uh discussions about expansion with the neighbors and their concerns. Uh we are improving existing ranges. We are limited to that range footprint and that's why that building is actually going on that range. And the shotgun range in our previous uh application did not outline that entire area. So while we use the term moving the shotgun range, we're actually just relocating equipment within the existing range. An important point of clarification, there is concern about this uh growth expanding. Uh we actually reduced our membership voluntarily uh about six

years ago, 7 years ago. Um we are nonprofit. We're not driven by membership and uh we lowered it from over 4,000 folks to about 3,000. And then shot range, we did have some discussions also with the neighbors about choke gauge. Um, one thing we did uh final or um clarify was that the chokes control the pattern and the density and the effective range. The main driver on distance the shot travels is shot size. So, we've made some adjustments on shot size. As well briefed by Jeie, uh there's improvements that help the club, the community, and the county. Uh club and newer facility, more efficient uh for the community. Definitely a quieter footprint that range is 247. Uh visual barriers, bringing some of the outdoor shooting indoors and uh for the county. Um reducing use in a non-conforming facility. Uh obviously some uh capital improvements within the county. And the plan we have on the books, the action shooting range entire site plan that's approved has significant changes in the um resource protection area. We would shelf that plan and replace it with this new plan. You're familiar with the layout of the club. Uh the additional um highlights in yellow on the BMS J on the center there indicate where we will increase the height of those earn BMS. Um, as a clarification also, that shift initially was about 150 ft south for some of that shotgun equipment. We'll minimize that and try to only shift about 75 ft south to protect boundaries. So, after meeting with the neighbors, talking about concern areas, um, we also agreed to add a uh catchment, a debris net on the eastern boundary of the lane

or the 50-yard range. You can see the yellow bar at about the 2:00 position on the picture labeled K. Um that will increase the height of that burm approximately 5 ft. Um that's uh already an earn burm with a wooden wall. Uh if you look just north of the lake uh the yellow burm that's the boundary closest to Brandy Wine Lane and that came directly from our discussions. So, additional actions, we talked about 10 things that we're doing, eight or nine or 10. Some of those are internal, but those tangible. Um, the shotgun uh patterning area. Uh, the neighbors are familiar with it as lane zero where the letter K is by that yellow barrier. That was where lane zero was. And there was shotgun activity and concern areas with the neighbors. We actually move that now to the far side of the uh 50 yard range. We increase that offset from the neighborhood by about 175%. So increasing that distance and again at that burm there'll be a net on top of that to increase the height of that. Uh shotgun on steel we will limit to seven and a half, eight and nine shot before uh we're allowing larger size shot. Um, on the 50 yard range, we'll limit it reactive targets to 22 rimfire only. And then on bays two and three, if you see the picture down on the bottom of the screen, that's a blow up of the 50ard range. There's actually three bays. Uh, for the past 11 years, we've used those types of targets there, but we've used them all the way across the range. Now, we're going to limit it to only areas two and three again to further increase any offsets. Uh we are going to have the uh shotgun consultant team come in still working on scheduling probably February uh to again review our shotgun uh layout, our

proposed layout, shot fall and safety net uh patterns. Uh we will after reconfiguration uh we didn't have a gauge limit on the shotgun range. usually will be limited to 12 gauge only and instead of 7 and 1 half, eight and nine shot, we'll limit it to the smaller size shot, eight and nine, decreasing the range that shot might travel. Uh we did have some questions about who's evaluating our operations other than ourselves. A reasonable question. So, we've committed to bring the NRA range technical team in uh every other year and then use a neutral third party to convey the essence of that uh team's report to the neighbors. So, there's a couple key takeaways I'd like to go over. First of all, I really it's important that we emphasize that the club is 100% committed to zero items departing the club property. Uh, considerations for safety and um uh working within our boundaries is paramount in our daily operations and and any planning we do. a new indoor range is beneficial to the club, the community, and the county. Our engagement with our neighbors could have been better. We'll come here and and uh acknowledge that certainly uh but it's improved a lot in the past 30 days. There's still work to be done. We've covered a lot of ground. We've spent a lot of time together. I think we've met most of those concerns, but there's a couple areas we still agree to disagree upon, and uh I'll let them articulate those. Uh we've added multiple physical changes to the range outside the scope of the new building. Uh both uh BMS and barriers and uh capture netting. We've added multiple policy and operational changes outside the scope of the new building in an effort to uh again um address any concern areas. And we've added an recurring independent assessment with importantly a feedback

channel to the local neighbors on how that assessment. And with that, any questions, please? I start this way. Questions? That way? All right. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Great job. Um, next is Greg Peterson. and please state your name and address for the record, please. And you'll have three minutes.

Greg Peterson, live at 138 Brandy One Drive. So, as I discussed last time, I live directly uh adjacent to the Lafayette Gun Club. And I want to start out by saying I'm very thankful for what the club's been meeting with the community and taking an an effort to improve the safety. I really value that collaboration. My thought my comments tonight are going to focus on the responsibility of you guys and the zoning ordinance determining whether this special use permit as currently profered uh actually protects adjacent properties and public welfare. Uh the permit is for recreation and recreation should never put surrounding homes and families at risk. Uh over the past two years, multiple police reports have documented escapes landing on my properties and my neighbors property. This is a range expansion and it will exasperate those existing conditions. Through discussions with the club, we now understand that the two main causes was lane zero that was closest to Brandy Wine and also the use of those metal targets. The club has been uh taken positive steps by moving lane zero and stopping the use of metal targets and I appreciate that. But these actions are not profered which means they're not enforceable. Verbal statements and intentions can change at any time and the county cannot rely on those as conditions for a special use permit. While most of those club members use the range for a few hours a week, our community is exposed to it 24 hours a day at 7 days a week. We are the ones that have the bullets in our yards and the shrapnel on our decks. This risk is not theoretical. It is a lived experience. Now that the county is fully aware of those documented escapes and the risk to life and property and the potential legal liability, I believe the focus must shift from recreation to safety. The zoning ordinance requires that special use permit provides adjacent property and public welfare. The standard must be met before the recreational expansion is approved. I want to acknowledge that the Lafayette Gun Club has long promoted safe and responsible gun ownerships which benefits the community. But these instances are inconsistent with those

values and unfortunately give ammunition to opponents of responsible gun ownership. Enforcable standards measures that protect our community. They also preserve the club's mission. Your role is to determine whether these profers, the enforcable conditions address the documented safety issues. Because the two known causes of escapes are not included in the profers, the applicant does not yet meet the zoning requirement to protect adjacent properties. I believe we can get there if the applicant profers the safety measures they've already implemented, which is relocating the zone zero and discontinuing the metal targets. And I fully support that moving forward. I simply ask that the approval be based on the enforceable conditions that address the root causes of the past incidents and ensure the safety of the surrounding community. Thank you.

Thank you. Uh next is Al Covez. Am I saying that right? Close enough. Okay. And if you would please state your name and address for the record.

My name is Al Culver, 136 Brandy Wine Drive. My home is directly behind the gun club. I'm one of the individuals that filed two of the police reports for the bullets in my yard. Um several years ago, I had an incident when they put in the range where I was getting shot raining down on my shed and in my backyard. I contacted them directly. Um after a couple weeks, they took some action to shut that down. Once I found the bullets this time, I contacted the police. Um I'd like to thank the gun club. They have spent a lot of time with us over the last couple weeks hearing our concerns. Um, I have serious concerns with the metal targets. I believe that's where it was coming from. I've lived there for 30 years. I've only had these two or three incidents with them. Um, the metal targets are fairly new. They just started using them, I believe, just a year or so ago, and that's when I started seeing the shrapnel. I reported to the police. They said they were going to go talk to them, take care of it. The metal targets stopped for about two weeks or so and then they started again and I had additional shrapnel in my backyard. And as Greg said, I survived Desert Storm, Desert Shield. I don't need to take a bullet in my backyard. And I'm counting on you guys to hold them accountable or have somebody come in that understands a third party to do an inspection on and make sure they're meeting all the safety requirements and that they're not um evaluating themselves, you know, self-evaluating, self-watch. So that's what I'm asking for you guys. Thank you.

All right. Thank you. That's all I have that have signed up in advance. Anybody else wish to speak? Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing and go this way again for comments.

Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um I you've checked off uh all the the concerns that I think a lot of us expressed u when this first came on on board. I'm very satisfied with the engagement with the community. Uh I applaud that. That that was one of the areas I know that we expressed a lot of concern on. I addressing some of the concerns of the speaker. Um you know, we're here as a planning commission to ensure the enforcement of the requirements that are in front of us with regard to what the permit is asking for. Uh what what our use permit is for. We're not here for compliance. Uh that is the next step if you will once the decision is made if it if it is made to go forward. But I want to make sure that that was fully uh clear that we're not the endorsed or the enforcing side of the compliance requirements. Uh based upon what I've seen and and the comments uh from the applicant, uh I'm inclined to agree with the staff and with their recommendations. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

I too am impressed that uh y'all all got together and tried to hash some of these issues out. Uh that's important. Neighborhoods and businesses always need to work together. And this is a private club. I understand that. But when you work together, you end up coming with a a good good solution. It's not going to be perfect. Everybody understands that. Uh as far as enforcing, I I agree. I I don't I feel like that is something that comes down the road. Uh I I support that. I totally support that and I hope that isn't in compliance. But I am just really happy that you met some of these resolutions and you work together. That's very important to me. Thank you.

All right. Down the left side, Mr. All right, too. I'm happy with the engagement and also listening to the concern and um the Lafayette Gun Club presented a list of things that they're going to do. How much of that list of things can we put in this? So the the resolution identifies their narrative that they submitted for December 23rd. So everything in that narrative is also in there in addition to the the the sketch plan that they gave us. I noticed a new sketch plan and it indicates the letters and things are going to do

right. The um but there's no indication um of a path or a method to report back to the neighbors. Although they talked about one and having it examined every year. Um, it would be nice if that was something that actually happened and I don't want to say their feet could be held to the fire, but that sounds like a great idea. You all could always add a condition of approval into the resolution if you felt like it was necessary. That's always an option. You can add any conditions of approval you'd like. As long as there's a nexus between what you're adding and and the actual use that they're proposing. I was trying to address the

neighbors concerns and that seemed to be the the only um path to a voice to give that you know a voice for them to report back or some sort of open channel of communication and um you know open to any way that we could make sure that that does in fact happen.

Gian go ahead. We could um amend the resolution just to add the the second narrative date on here. It would say in conformance with the narrative the narratives dated December 23rd, 2025 and the next one that they submitted and they would have to adhere to this and it would be checked up on annually by our zoning and code enforcement staff. I would fully support that. Great.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. I I agree with my fellow commissioner. I think Lafayette Gun Club is committed to everything we heard tonight. Correct. Uh I I congratulate you. We left here last month. We had citizens who were really concerned about a lot of issues. You did exactly what we intended to do. Meet with the homeowners uh uh surrounding your property, collaboratively work together to come up with solutions on how you can get along as neighbors. I always re keep thinking in my mind of past uh cases we've had where um there hasn't been any communication and we end up with the same situation we started no improvements. This was an opportunity for in my mind for the citizens and the gun club to make the the both um the gun range and the homeowners operate in a better environment. And I think you've come very close to doing that. I think you've done almost everything that we've we've talked about at our last meeting. And I congrat congratulate that to you. Uh in response to the our citizens and our neighbors, I support my fellow commissioner. I think that if we can make sure that they are committed to do everything you just heard him say tonight, I think your situation in your neighborhood is going to be a lot better. And if they're going to do an independent assessment, that's going to loop you around. I saw that you were connected in that and they're going to include you in that. And I think that's important. And I think the commission, I congratulate all our commissioners. I think we all made uh a a use in a neighborhood area a lot better uh through through waiting and and collaborating. So that's all I have. I'll be supporting it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chair, this will be your first. I have no other comments. Think about that. Maybe. All right. Thank you. Um, I I also I went out and toured the club um before the last meeting. Um, had a had a great tour of the club. Um, and I I do support this. I I do want to state though also that what's before the commission is an indoor shooting range. Um, it's not a it's not the rest of the of of the the gun club operations. It's an indoor shooting range, which is actually what what we're voting on. So, um, with that, I'll take a motion on PC 2526R.

Mr. Chairman, I move that, uh, PC 26005R with the I'm sorry, was it five 25-26 R with the revisions included as spoken uh, be moved forward to the, uh, to the. So just to clarify the the revisions that you're saying is that you would add the date of the new narrative. What what's the date, Genie? Okay. All right. So we'll just we'll make sure that that gets in there once we have that. Okay. Thank you. Roll call, please.

The motion by Mr. Smith is to adopt resolution number PC25-26R to recommend approval of an indoor firing range at 331 Dare Road. Mr. Brooks, yes. Mr. King, yes. Mr. Kryer, yes. Mr. Smith, yes. Mr. Titus, yes. Mr. Timberl, yes. Motion passes.

Thank you. Okay. And next on the agenda is um application CP11-26. This one yours as well. Okay. This presentation will cover two applications. Application number ZM28-26 is a request to amend the York County zoning map by reclassifying various properties located along the boundary line between York County and the city of Picosen. Application number CP11-26 is a request to amend charting the course 2024, York County's comprehensive plan by adding parcels recently added to the York County to York County through a boundary line adjustment between York County and the city of Picosen to the land use 20 240 map in chapter 11 and by assigning them a future land use designation. On December 19th, 2023, the board of supervisors approved a resolution to adjust and relocate the common boundary line between the two jurisdictions. This was done to eliminate uncertainty and confusion in regards to the physical location of the jurisdictional boundary. Following the adoption of the resolution, new land was added to the county. The first step after adding new land to the county is to adjust the county's comprehensive plan charting the course 2040 by giving a future land use designation to all affected parcels. This 2040 uh use design land use designation map shows the newly added land that doesn't have a color to indicate its future land use designation. The code states that any land area annexed or adjusted into the jurisdictional boundaries of York County shall automatically be classified RC for resource conservation until such time as that classification may be changed through a specific reasoning action

approved by the board of supervisors. Accordingly, the county is proposing to amend the zoning map by reclassifying these properties to match the adjacent zoning. This application encompasses 27 parcels of land with 18 property owners, all of whom have been notified. Due to the land's proximity to adjoining localities, notices were also sent to the cities of Pakosen and Hampton. The proposed amendment to the comprehensive plan would amend the land use 20 240 and land use 2040 uh tab sub area maps to include the newly acquired land and assign it a future land use designation. Furthermore, a new paragraph outlining the reasoning for the amendment has been proposed for the tab east section. No. Prior to the execution of the boundary line adjustment in December 2023, the majority of the affected parcels extended across the boundary between York County and the city of Picosen. As a result, and pursuant to the code, which requires newly incorporated land to be automatically classified as resource conservation, which is shown here in green, most of the affected parcels are currently splitzed. Um, the proposed resonings would remove the existing split zone classifications for all of these parcels. 27 uh parcels in part or whole and a combined area of approximately 27 acres are proposed to be reszoned. Parcels previously divided by the jurisdictional boundary between York County and the city of Picosen will be assigned a comprehensive plan land use designation matching the portion of the parcel already located within the county. Parcels entirely outside of the county will be assigned a comprehensive plan land use designation matching the surrounding parcels. Four of the 27 parcels are currently splitzoned as rural residential or RR and resource conservation or RC and are proposed to be reszoned to RR. Three of those four parcels are proposed

to be designated lowdensity residential in the comprehensive plan and the fourth is proposed to be designated medium density residential. The property at 100 Kryer Lane is uh is the only parcel that is not proposed to be reszoned in conformance with the uh comprehensive plan. At the property owner's request, staff proposes to reszone the parcel from RR and RC to RR. 18 parcels are splitzoned R20 and RC. They are all proposed to be reszoned to R20 and designated medium density in the comprehensive plan. The remaining five parcels are zoned RC as they were previously outside the county's jurisdictional boundaries. All five parcels are proposed to be reszoned to R20 and designated medium density in the comprehensive plan in conformity with the surrounding parcels. Proposed resolutions uh numbers P PC26-04 and PC26-05 proposed to give the newly acquired land a future land use designation, eliminate split zoning, and align zoning classifications with the comprehensive plan. There's no legal requirement for the zoning map to be in strict conformance with the comprehensive plan uh future land use map. However, it has historically been the practice in York County to zone most property for its intended use as set forth in the comprehensive plan. This is based on the principle that property owners should not have to go to the effort and expense of applying for a reszoning in order to develop their land in accordance with the comprehensive plan. Therefore, based on the considerations and conclusions as noted, staff recommends approval of the proposed a proposed resolution numbers PC26-04 and PC26-05. Thank you.

All right, questions. We'll start down with Mr. Kryer. very familiar with it and have no concerns and I will be recusing myself from the vote for I am one of the 18. Uh Mr. Chairman, I was on the subcommittee that reviewed this uh a while a month ago was it and uh everything looks consistent with what our subcommittee recommendation was. So I'll be in voting in favor of this. Thank you. Looking for questions for staff. Oh sorry no questions. No questions.

No I haven't opened the public hearing yet. So the only question I have is with regard to when you're basically reversing an RC designation, is there no requirement to is there a validation? Is there an approval that's done through whatever? Is there a conservation requirement for that to be surveyed validated? There's no survey required for that. The approval would come from the board of supervisors to reszone the property from RC to, you know, R20 or um RR. Okay. Okay. Thanks.

Okay. Thank you. With that, I'll open public hearing. I have nobody signed up. Anybody wish to speak to this? Seeing none, I will close the public hearing. And what's the pleasure of the board? I have no further comment. I'll just say ditto. I already said what I have my piece. Okay. Anybody? All right. Um I'll entertain a motion. We have to do four and then five. Have to do both. Okay. Separately. All right. So PC 26-04. Okay. Mr. Chairman, I'll recommend we forward PC 2 uh6-04

to the board of supervisors. Recommendation of approval. Thank you. Roll call, please. The motion by Mr. King is to adopt resolution number PC2604 to amend the York County comprehensive plan by adding parts recently added to York County. Mr. King, hang on just one second before you vote. Is 04 the correct number for the comprehensive plan? Okay. All right. Go ahead. I'm sorry. I just wanted I think I said 04, didn't I? Yes. I wanted to make sure that was the correct one. Okay. Thank you. Sure. Yes. Uh the answer was yes. Mr. Smith? Yes. Mr. Titus?

All right. Thank you. Um, we have no old business, new business, uh, staff reports. All right. So, you have the, uh, development activity report and also you have the calendar. I'll start with the calendar. I wanted to make sure I think um, you had gotten these last month and, um, we had noticed uh, in reviewing these dates, actually, I'll give credit to Desi. He just happened to notice that we had previously had November 11th which is the Wednesday for November second Wednesday of November. However, that's Veterans Day. So, um we have uh worked with the Mr. Chamberlain and that date is going to change to Thursday, November 12th. So, just make sure you note that in your calendars in the future. Um and of course, we will um give you the um we'll give you a heads up when we get closer to that. um except for Mr. King and Mr. Kryiner who won't be on the commission at that time, but we will give you a heads up when we get closer um unless they decide to reup. Um but November 12th is the Thursday. So, we've just moved that to the Thursday on there. Um as far as the development activity report um you'll note that the board had approved the uh group home out at Ule uh near Ule Industrial Park. um and that uh they the board will be reviewing next week the sheets application and the theft deterrent wire. I know some of you had asked about uh kind of where the Publix is in the process right now. So they are under site plan review currently. Um they have not gotten final site plan approval, but they're close. They're close. So it should be coming soon uh that they would get approval. Um and then uh other things of note um on page two you'll notice that the Chipotle um was approved. The site plan for that was approved. That's going between where the

currently constructing under construction graft and Chick-fil-A is and where the Dairy Queen currently is. So that open lot that's where Chipotle will be going. Um other than that, there wasn't anything else a major note in there that I was going to point out to you. But that was it. Thank you. Thanks. understand we have nothing for February as of now. That is correct. You have no applications for February. So if you wanted to cancel the February meeting, we could do that. Or if there's something in particular you all wanted to talk about, we could also do that. I suggest we cancel the February meeting unless there's objection from Second. Uh it's it's the chair's decision. So if he decides to cancel it, we'll we'll cancel.

All right. So we'll cancel the February meeting. Any committee reports? Commission reports. Having seen none, at this time we'll adjourn. Thank you all. Thank you, sir.
