ACCORDING TO BYLAWS, IT'S ALWAYS THE FOURTH THURSDAY OF THE MONTH, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT REMAINS TRUE HERE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WHEN THERE ARE PUBLIC HOLIDAYS THAT IMPACT THE COUNTY'S SCHEDULE.
I MOVE TO ADOPT THE MEETING SCHEDULE AS PRESENTED SECOND.

[00:05:05]
DO WE HAVE ANYONE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING DURING PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD THIS WEEK? OKAY. BEING NONE CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS I DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMENTS.DO ANY OF THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS OR COMMENTS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SHARE THIS MONTH? NOPE. OKAY.
[ORDER OF BUSINESS]

THE SAME. DO I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND FOR APPROVAL? I MOVE TO ADOPT THE MEETING MINUTES FROM DECEMBER 13TH, 2023.
. COULD I GO BACK ONE, FOR THE DRAFT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS FOR DECEMBER 13TH.
WE HAVE STEPHEN BRESKO . [INAUDIBLE]. SO YOU JUST ADOPTED THOSE MINUTES.
OKAY. WELL, WE CAN STILL BRING BACK REVISED MINUTES AND CAN RE ADOPT SOME NEW ONES.
ALL RIGHT. NO, OPEN AND TURN THIS OVER TO THE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND GO AHEAD AND OPEN THAT UP.
[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
AND, TIM, I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE OF Y'ALL ARE GOING TO BE PRESENTING OUR CASE TONIGHT.[INAUDIBLE]. HE WANTS TO DO IT.
Y'ALL ARE FIGHTING FOR STRAWS OVER THERE TOO, OKAY.
SO THIS IS SPECIAL EXCEPTION SC 2310.
YOU'LL FIND THE STAFF REPORT IN YOUR PACKET UNDER TAB FIVE.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 0.9 ACRES IN SIZE.
IT'S LOCATED ON ALLIN ROAD, WHICH IS OFF OF COURTHOUSE ROAD.
AND THE TAX MAP NUMBER IS PROVIDED THERE.
AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INDICATES THE PROPERTIES PLANNED FOR VILLAGE CENTER LAND USES.
THERE IS THE, AERIAL VIEW SHOWING THAT THIS IS THE BUILDING ON THE LEFT IN THE CLUSTER OF THREE BUILDINGS NEAR THE ROUNDABOUT AT ALLIN ROAD AND COURTHOUSE ROAD AND SAWMILL ROAD, AS WELL AS ADJACENT.
AND THIS IS THE SECOND BUILDING, FOR THE CHILD CARE CENTER THAT WAS RECENTLY RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY YOU ALL AND ALSO RECENTLY APPROVED BY THE BOARD.
SO THIS IS JUST THE SECOND BUILDING.
THE ONE THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED. IS THAT BUILDING IN THE MIDDLE AND ON THE SCREEN THERE.
SO THIS IS THE ONE ON THE LEFT.
BUT IF THIS IS APPROVED, THEN [INAUDIBLE] AND THERE'S OUR APPLICANT.
SO IF THIS IS APPROVED THEN ANYONE COULD OPERATE A CHILD CARE CENTER IN THERE.
SO YOU HAVE THE ZONING MAP AND THE PROPERTY IS ZONED BUSINESS ALREADY, AS ARE THE ONES, THE BUILDINGS NEXT TO IT AND ACROSS THE STREET. THERE'S THE AERIAL VIEW AGAIN.
THEY GOT A LOW BATTERY IN THIS THING.
[00:10:02]
ALL RIGHT. SO IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE.OPEN A CHILD CARE CENTER IN AN EXISTING BUILDING.
THE REQUESTED LAND USE AGAIN FALLS UNDER THE TERMINOLOGY RIGHT THERE.
WE HAVE A DEFINITION FOR THAT IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS ANY MORE EXPLANATION THAN THAT.
THESE ARE COMMENTS FROM THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND TAKING COMMENTS FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
ANY THE ACTIONS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED BY THE APPLICANT BEFORE THEY COULD BEGIN OPERATIONS.
THAT WOULD BE UPDATING THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY IN THE BUILDING.
SO THAT WOULD INVOLVE AN INSPECTION OF THE BUILDING TO MAKE SURE IT COMPLIES WITH THE CODES.
FOR HAVING A CHILD CARE CENTER, THEY NEED TO OBTAIN THEIR STATE LICENSE FOR THE CHILD CARE CENTER, WHICH IS IN PROGRESS, AND OBTAIN A COUNTY BUSINESS LICENSE, WHICH IS ALSO IN PROGRESS.
THERE WERE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS AFTER ADVERTISING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE CODE.
SO THIS IS IF THEY DO HAVE ANY OUTDOOR PLAY AREAS THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO BE FENCED IN.
AND JUST CHECKING THAT'S IS THAT ACCEPTABLE? YES. OKAY.
AND THAT'S THOSE CONDITIONS ARE ACCEPTABLE TO THE APPLICANT.
SO THAT'S IT FOR THE STAFF PRESENTATION.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME OR FOR THE APPLICANT? I HAVE ONE, I WAS NOT AT THE MEETING LAST TIME.
WHAT TYPE OF FENCE'S ARE YOU PUTTING [INAUDIBLE].
SO THAT'S A CAUTIONARY CONDITION JUST IN CASE.
HELLO. HOW ARE YOU? HELLO. HI. OKAY.
THE FENCE? ARE YOU PLANNING ON PUTTING UP? WHAT TYPE OF FENCE IS THIS GOING TO BE AND HOW HEIGHT? I KNOW I DO HAVE TO GO BY STATE ORDINANCE.
I STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA CHILDCARE.
THAT'S WHAT'S REQUIRED FOR THE PREVIOUS DAYCARE UP IN RICHMOND THAT I HAD.
OKAY. YOU DON'T KNOW THE HEIGHT? I DON'T KNOW THAT. NOT JUST YET.
SORRY. THERE'S NOTHING THERE YET.
WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE ON THIS? WHAT IS THE NORMAL HEIGHT OF THESE? WHEN I ABOUT SIX FEET WAS THE NORMAL HEIGHT FOR THE CHILD CARE CENTER THAT WE HAVE UP IN RICHMOND, BECAUSE I'M GOING BY A FRANCHISE.
SO IT WAS SIX FEET THAT WE HAD UP IN RICHMOND.
YES, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO. OKAY.
THANK YOU. OKAY, SO LET ME GO AHEAD AND, JUST CLOSE NOW, CAN I KEN? CAUSE THERE'S NO MORE COMMENTS RIGHT? OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ALL RIGHT. I KNEW THERE WAS A STEP IN THERE.
ALL RIGHT. AND THEN HEREBY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AND AGAIN, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE MADE REGARDING THIS CASE.
I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFF, OR ARE WE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A MOTION?
[00:15:03]
I MOVED TO FORWARD REQUEST SE 2310 TO THE BOARD WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL, SUBJECT TO THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS IN THE STAFF REPORT.THE REASON FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION IS IS EXPECTED TO BENEFIT THE GENERAL WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY.
IF WE CAN NOW GET THE COMMUNICATIONS FROM STAFF.
[COMMUNICATIONS]
ALL RIGHT. THE ACTIONS OF THE BOARDING IS BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS.AND THAT THEY'RE MEETING FOR FEBRUARY IS CANCELED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CASES.
REGARDING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, YOU DO HAVE UNDER TAB SIX A RECAP FROM JANUARY 9TH.
AND OF NOTE ON THERE WERE THE.
GOSH. WHAT WAS IT? THE DAYCARE WAS APPROVED. OH, IT'S THE TOP THING OUT THERE.
THAT WAS THE BIG THING THAT NIGHT.
AND THEN WE GAVE YOU BEFORE THE MEETING, THE JANUARY 23RD BOARD RECAP.
STAFF HAS, ORGANIZED A TOUR OF THE COUNTY, DRIVING TOUR AND INTERVIEWS WITH DEPARTMENT STAFF. THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ON TUESDAY THIS COMING WEEK.
SO THE CONSULTANT IS WORKING ON IT RIGHT NOW.
ACTUALLY THE BOARD APPROVED ON THE 23RD AS WELL.
THEY PROVED HAVING A WORK SESSION WITH YOU.
THAT MEETING IS ALREADY ON YOUR CALENDAR, FOR MARCH.
IN FACT, IF YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR EYES ON IT REAL QUICK ON THE 21ST.
SO, YOU SEE HOW IT'S KIND OF A, IT'S A SPECIAL MEETING FOR THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN.
SO, THAT WILL BE A BIG REPORT ONE AND A HALF TO TWO HOURS FROM THAT RUN BY THE CONSULTANT FOR THE COMP PLAN WILL PROVIDE A LOT OF INFORMATION AND LOOK FOR FEEDBACK FROM YOU AS WELL.
SO THAT'LL BE, SOME INTERESTING THINGS AHEAD.
SO WE'LL PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION AS THINGS GO ON.
THE COMP PLAN PAGE ON THE COUNTY WEBSITE HAS A LOT.
SO ANYTHING YOU WANT IS ON THE WEBSITE.
AND WE'LL KEEP THAT UPDATED AS THE PROCESS GOES ON.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS OF STAFF? WHAT ABOUT UPCOMING CASES FOR, FEBRUARY? THERE WILL BE UPCOMING CASES.
THERE WILL BE CASES FOR FEBRUARY.
WE PASSED [INAUDIBLE] AND WENT TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AND THEY CONCURRED WITH US.
WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THAT? OF THE BOARD CONCURRED? OF THE STANDING.
AND THE STATE CODE REQUIRES THAT TO BE IN PLACE FOR THEM TO PROCEED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT AND THEN WE THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE SOLAR FARMS. AND IT WAS BOUGHT UP.
[00:20:01]
I BELIEVE THEY TURNED IT DOWN.OKAY. BUT THEY ARE APPEALING IT AWAY.
THEY'RE GOING TO THE SCC ABOUT IT AND SCC IS WANTS TO DO AWAY WITH THE LOCAL INPUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.
YEAH. THERE'S A BILL IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO DO THAT.
YEAH. THERE'S NOTHING ON THE THERE'S NO LAW FOR THAT AT THIS TIME.
THERE'S A BILL THAT WOULD PROVIDE A POSSIBLE PATH FORWARD FOR PEOPLE, EVEN IF A COUNTY DENIES IT.
BUT, IT'S JUST A BILL RIGHT NOW.
IT WOULD BE MORE. THERE WOULD BE MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
NOT YET. YEAH, THERE WOULD BE MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
NOTHING'S HAPPENED ON THAT YET.
OFFICIALLY. BECAUSE I UNDERSTOOD SOMEONE IN THE COUNTY WANTS TO PUT ONE UP SO BUT THEY HEARD ABOUT THIS AND THEY WERE TRYING.
WONDER WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO.
IT'S TOO EARLY TO KNOW IF THAT WOULD HAVE ANY IMPACT ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR PAST CASE.
YEAH. ANYTHING ELSE? NO. ALL RIGHT.
THAT COMPLETES OUR AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? MOTION TO ADJOURN.
. MEETING CLOSED.
