[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
MR. GRAVES WILL BE GIVING US INFORMATION.THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION AND MR. WHITTEN. I'M FILLING IN FOR ANDRE GREENE TONIGHT.
WHO'S THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS PROJECT.
COULDN'T JOIN US BECAUSE HE'S SICK.
BUT THIS IS THE REQUEST OF HB PROPERTY ASSOCIATES LLC TO CONDITIONALLY REZONE APPROXIMATELY 20 ACRES FROM M-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO M-2 GENERAL INDUSTRIAL.
THE PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER IS IN THIS INFORMATION HERE.
AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP INDICATES THE PROPERTY IS PLANNED FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.
YOU CAN SEE HOW THE THE ROAD THAT GOES TO THE NORTH ENDS UP IN THE CITY OF PETERSBURG.
AND THIS IS ALSO ALONG THE INTERSTATE 95 RAMP.
YOU CAN SEE IN THE TOP RIGHT THE LOCATION WITHIN THE COUNTY ALONG INTERSTATE 95.
ON THIS SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE AN AERIAL VIEW.
PROPERTY AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS TAKEN WAS COVERED WITH TREES.
AND THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH WAS RECENTLY REZONED.
I MENTIONED THAT AGAIN FOR A SIMILAR THAT WAS RECENTLY RESUMED FOR SIMILAR SIMILAR PURPOSE.
ON THIS SLIDE IS ALSO THE SATELLITE OR AERIAL VIEW.
[00:10:03]
FARTHER OUT AND YOU CAN SEE HOW SEE WHERE IT IS IN RELATION TO REEVE'S ROAD GOING THROUGH THE CITY OF PETERSBURG AND ACROSS THE INTERSTATE.THIS SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY AGAIN, THE LIGHT COLOR HERE IS THIS IS THE ZONING MAP.
THE LIGHT COLOR HERE IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
THE DARKER GRAY COLOR IS GENERAL INDUSTRIAL.
AND THEN THE THE YELLOW COLOR IS RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL.
SO THIS PROPERTY IS PROPOSED TO BECOME THE SAME COLOR AS THE ONE ABOVE IT.
AND THAT'S FOR M-2 INDUSTRIAL.
THIS SLIDE IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
IT SHOWS THAT IT'S PLANNED FOR INDUSTRIAL USES MOSTLY BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY ZONED INDUSTRIAL.
THE RED COLOR AROUND IT IS COMMERCIAL.
AND THE THE OTHER COLOR THERE IS COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL.
SO THIS WHOLE AREA IS REALLY PLANNED FOR INDUSTRIAL UNTIL YOU GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SOUTH CRATER ROAD, INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL UNTIL YOU GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SOUTH CRATER ROAD. A SUMMARY OF THIS, THE PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY ZONED INDUSTRIAL IN 1984.
THERE WERE NO PARTICULAR CONDITIONS ON THAT CHANGE TO THE PROPERTY, TO THE ZONING, THE ADJACENT PROPERTY THAT SAYS TO THE SOUTH IT'S TO THE NORTH THAT WAS RECENTLY REZONED FOR THIS WITH THE SAME USE AND LAND USE IN MIND.
SORRY, THE WORDING THERE IS A LITTLE WRONG.
IT WAS ZONED TO M-2 AND THEY ALSO HAD PLANS FOR TRACTOR TRAILER SPACES ON ON THAT PROPERTY AS THEIR INITIAL USE AFTER IT'S IT WAS REZONED . ON THIS PROPERTY THE PLANS FOR OVERFLOW TRACTOR TRAILER PARKING AGAIN FOR E COMMERCE THESE ARE THESE WOULD BE SEASONAL MOSTLY THE TRAILERS THE NUMBER OF TRAILERS ON THE PROPERTY WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN HOLIDAY SEASONS.
THE APPLICANTS DID A TURN LANE WARRANT ANALYSIS AS PART OF THE APPLICATION, AND THEY PROJECTED THAT THIS WOULD GENERATE FOUR TRUCK TRIPS DURING THE MORNING AND THE SAME NUMBER DURING THE PEAK THE PM PEAK HOURS.
ACTUALLY THAT'S DURING PEAK HOURS IN THE MORNING AND PEAK HOURS IN THE EVENING.
THERE'S NO STRUCTURES PLANNED FOR THIS.
IT'S JUST A PARKING LOT AT THIS TIME.
AND SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER TO BE EXTENDED TO THE PROPERTY.
AND AT THAT TIME, THE NEW BUILDING MAY NEED TO CONNECT TO PUBLIC WATER.
BUT THESE APPLICANTS DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS FOR THAT AT THIS TIME.
THEY DID SOME IN A PROFFER STATEMENT.
WE'LL GET TO THE TWO PROFFERS IN A MINUTE.
IT SHOWS TRACTOR TRAILER PARKING SPACES AND A STORMWATER MANAGEMENT POND IN THE MIDDLE.
AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING STAFF REVIEWED COMMENTS.
WE JUST NOTED THE ZONING CASE NUMBER FROM 1984.
AGAIN, THERE WERE NO CONDITIONS ON THAT.
SO THIS USE WOULD BE PERMITTED BY RIGHT IF THE LAND IS REZONED TO M-2.
THE EXPECTED IMPACTS OF THE REZONING AND THE PROPOSED USE, WHAT KIND OF IMPACTS WOULD THAT HAVE ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND ROADWAYS? WELL, THERE WOULD BE THE ADDITIONAL TRUCK TRAFFIC ON REEVES ROAD AND CORPORATE ROAD, MOSTLY WITHIN THE CITY OF PETERSBURG.
OBVIOUSLY, THAT GOES THROUGH PRINCE COUNTY AS WELL.
BUT AS WE SAW, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TRIPS IN AND OUT OF THIS PROPERTY.
SO IT'S NOT A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ON THE TRUCK TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD FOR THIS PARTICULAR USE.
THE APPLICANT DID A TURN LANE STUDY AND THEY ALSO PROVIDED THAT TO CITY OF PETERSBURG AND AND THEY THE CITY OF PETERSBURG AND PAUL HENSON WITH VDOT REVIEWED THAT AND CONCLUDED THAT AGAIN TURN LANES WERE REQUIRED BASED ON WHAT THEY WERE PROJECTING.
AND VDOT ALSO HAD A COMMENT ABOUT POTENTIAL FOR A ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT.
[00:15:07]
PRIVATE ROAD, BUT MOST OF IT'S IN THE CITY OF PETERSBURG.THIS APPEARS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AGAIN, IT'S COLORED COLOR FOR INDUSTRIAL.
IT'S BEEN ZONED INDUSTRIAL READY.
THIS IS JUST UP ZONING IT JUST A BIT.
THIS PARTICULAR USE THE TRUCK TERMINAL WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING USES AND THERE WOULD BE MINIMAL IMPACT ON COUNTY SERVICES FOR THIS BY THIS REZONING BECAUSE THERE'S NO NO EXTENSION OF PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER.
AND IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A BUILDING LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE, THEN THAT WOULD BE HANDLED AT THAT TIME AND IT WOULD BE THE DEVELOPER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO EXTEND THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. SO OTHER DEPARTMENTS AS AS WE MENTIONED, VDOT NOTED THAT THE MAIN ACCESS ROAD IS IN THE CITY OF PETERSBURG AND CROSSES ONE ADJACENT PROPERTY, THE CITY OF PETERSBURG DID NOT ASK ASK FOR A ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT. SO VDOT HAS ULTIMATELY HAS NO OBJECTION TO THIS REZONING APPLICATION.
IT WOULD BE THE DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE TO WORK THAT OUT.
THE PROPERTY OWNER AT THE TIME THAT IT'S NEEDED, THAT'S A FIGURE THAT OUT IN THE FUTURE, THE WATER WOULD BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF PETERSBURG AND THE SEWER WOULD BE PROVIDED BY PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY.
AGAIN, THE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH THE TWO ENTITIES TO TO INSTALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE, CONNECT TO THE SYSTEMS. THE PROFFER CONDITIONS. THEY THE APPLICANT PROFFERED TWO CONDITIONS.
THEY PROFFERED OUT MOST OF THE MOST OF THE M-2 PERMITTED USES.
SO ESSENTIALLY THIS IS MOSTLY JUST A REZONING JUST TO ALLOW A TRUCK TERMINAL.
IT WOULD ALSO ALLOW ALL THE USES THAT ARE PERMITTED IN THE M-1 ZONING DISTRICT.
IT ALLOWS WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.
OKAY. AND THAT WOULD THAT WOULD HAVE THAT WOULD BE REVIEWED AT THE TIME OF A SITE PLAN.
AND THEY PROFFERED TO PRESERVE TREES IN THAT BUFFER AREA AND AND ELSEWHERE ON THE PROPERTY WHERE PRACTICAL. SO THOSE ARE THE TWO MAIN PROFFERED CONDITIONS, AGAIN, PROHIBITING CERTAIN USES AND MAINTAINING SOME BUFFER, SOME VEGETATED BUFFER AREAS. ALL RIGHT.
IT SEEMS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES.
IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN.
VDOTS CONCERNS WERE ADDRESSED.
IF THERE IS A CHANGE TO THE SITE IN THE FUTURE THAT WOULD INVOLVE A NEW BUILDING, IT WOULD REQUIRE SITE PLAN AND EVEN FOR THIS USE IT WILL REQUIRE A SITE PLAN AND THE THE ON SITE DETAILS SUCH AS EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL AND STORMWATER RUNOFF AND LIGHTING AND ANYTHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE HANDLED DURING THE ADMINISTRATIVE SITE PLAN PROCESS.
WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY FEEDBACK FROM ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS, NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE.
WE DID ALL THE REQUIRED ADVERTISING ABOUT THIS.
THE APPLICANTS HAVE SOME FOLKS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM.
BUT I CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS FOR STAFF AT THIS TIME.
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. GRAVES?. THANK YOU.
THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING IF ANYONE FROM.
THIS HB PROPERTIES ASSOCIATES WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.
YOU MAY COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM.
GOOD EVENING. MATT ROBERTS WITH THE HIRSCH LAW FIRM.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE.
THANK YOU. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF HIM?
[00:20:02]
ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST.STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
SEEING NO ONE WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE COMMISSIONERS.
OKAY. DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DOES ANYONE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? MADAM CHAIRMAN, I MOVE TO FORWARD REQUEST RZ-22-05 TO THE BOARD WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE PROFFERED CONDITIONS.
SECOND. WOULD YOU CALL THE ROLL PLEAS? ALL RIGHT. SO THANKS.
WE'VE WE'VE HEARD A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL.
IT'LL GO TO THE BOARD ON IN MARCH.
TOWARD THE END OF MARCH, WE'LL BE IN TOUCH WITH ANDRE GREENE FOR AN EXACT DATE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO I'M BACK UP HERE FOR THE
[COMMUNICATIONS ]
COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING ACTIONS OF THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS.THE FEBRUARY MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELED.
DURING THAT PERIOD. MR. WHITTEN WILL INTRODUCE JUST DO A REFRESHER ON THE BZA'S RESPONSIBILITIES.
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET THE RECAP FROM MARCH 4TH, SORRY, THE FEBRUARY 14TH MEETING, AND I NOTED A FEW THINGS THEY MENTIONED THERE.
THEY MENTIONED SOME EMAILS OR CONVERSATIONS AT LEAST WITH ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS OR THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL, AND THEY THEY DECIDED TO POSTPONE IT BASED ON THAT. THE APPLICANT ACTUALLY WITHDREW THE REQUEST.
SO THAT WON'T THAT WON'T PROCEED.
THE THEY RECEIVED A REPORT ON A NEW CONVENIENCE CENTER.
AND THEY PICKED THE EXACT SPOT ON THIS LARGE PROPERTY TO PUT A CONVENIENCE CENTER, WHICH IS A DROP OFF PLACE FOR TRASH AND RECYCLING, SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT THEY'VE ALREADY GOT.
AND THAT IS WE JUST RECEIVED AN APPLICATION FROM THE GENERAL SERVICES OFFICE FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION, WHICH IS BECAUSE SO THAT THERE CAN BE A PUBLIC HEARING AND LET THE COMMUNITY HAVE A SAY IN THIS.
SO THAT SHOULD BE COMING FORWARD IN APRIL.
BUT WE'LL BE REVIEWING THAT AND AND CONFIRM THAT THE THE BOARD ON FEBRUARY 14TH ALSO RECEIVED A REPORT ON VACATING OR RECORDED PLAT.
MS. WALTON DISCUSSED THE TOPIC WITH THEM ALONG WITH MR. WHITTEN. IT'S BASICALLY A COMMUNITY MEMBER WANTS TO VACATE A PLAT AND GO BACK TO WHAT IT WAS LIKE ON THEIR PROPERTY BEFORE THE PLAT WAS RECORDED.
YOU ACTUALLY WILL GET TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT'S COMING.
IT'S COMING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR A RECOMMENDATION NEXT MONTH.
THAT'LL BE A NEW ONE FOR EVERYONE THAT KIND OF REQUEST.
THEN THEY DID HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVED THE REZONING REQUEST FOR THE HARVEST ROAD.
THE PROPERTIES WITHIN THAT INDUSTRIAL PARK.
SO THEY DID GO AHEAD WITH THE REZONING THERE.
AND THAT COVERS WHAT I KNEW TO TALK ABOUT WITH THE BOARD.
[00:25:01]
SO IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SIX CASES FOR THE AGENDA COMING UP.SO I HOPE YOU ENJOYED TONIGHT'S ONE CASE AND THEN I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO LET UP.
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE ON TRACK FOR ALMOST THAT NUMBER FOR APRIL TOO.
AND IT'S A WIDE VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
SO FOR MARCH, WE HAVE A REZONING AMENDMENT.
IT SHOULD BE COMING FORWARD TO BE CONFIRMED CLOSER TO THAT THAT MEETING DATE.
BUT THAT'S REGARDING A LARGE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY THEY WANT TO AMEND THE EXISTING CONDITIONS ON WHEN THAT WAS REZONED SOME DECADES AGO, THERE'S A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT AND REZONING FOR SOME PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WANT TO HAVE A BAKERY ON A PROPERTY THAT'S NOT IT'S NOT ZONED FOR BUSINESS.
SO THEY WANT TO REZONE IT FOR BUSINESS.
YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THAT WHEN THAT COMES UP.
THERE'S AN ADULT DAYCARE CENTER.
SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR THAT ON AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING.
THEY WANT TO PUT AN ADULT DAYCARE CENTER IN THERE.
THERE IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR A BIG WAREHOUSE ON THE DIAMOND PARK PROPERTY.
AND THERE IS THAT THAT PLAT VACATION REQUEST SO THAT'S SIX ITEMS FOR MARCH JUST A HEADS UP.
SO THAT IS ALL I HAD PLANNED TO TALK ABOUT DID YOU JULIE ARE YOU GOOD.
OKAY IF WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.
DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.
EVERYBODY OK? THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? SO MOVED. SECOND.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
