UPDATE/PRESENTATION ON AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE BY JERRY LOVELACE
Town Manager Russell Thurston introduced Mr. Jerry Lovelace to the Council. He told the Council that Mr. Lovelace served 33 years as the Halifax County planning director and assistant county administrator.
Mr. Lovelace told the Council that the zoning ordinance is not up to speed as it should be. Mr. Lovelace said that the Brookneal Zoning Ordinance is an "inclusive" ordinance as are most zoning ordinances in the state. Land uses that are allowed are specifically listed for each Zoning District. If they are not listed, then the use is not permissible and must be addressed through Ordinance Section 153.077, Uses Not Provided For. Livestock is addressed in the Zoning Ordinance in Section 153.051(A) (6) in the R-2 Zoning District, which addresses livestock in the Town at the time of Zoning Ordinance adoption, not livestock that may be proposed after Ordinance adoption. Mr. Lovelace told the Council that even though the comprehensive plan is only solely a set of guidelines, state statutes and court cases clearly state that land use decisions can only be made in conformity with the Comp Plan, thus putting both on similar legal footing. He said there must be plan and ordinance consistency.
Mr. Thurston noted that he has been working with Mr. Lovelace to establish the framework to implement these special use permit processes. Mr. Lovelace said that one of his recommendations is for the Council to eliminate the conditional zoning section of the ordinance and focus on use permits. He said it is fairly rigid compared to use permits. He said use permits give a lot more flexibility. He said that even though conditional use permits have been issued in the past, the Town did not have the right to do so because the Town's ordinance did not permit it. He said zoning does not have to change in order for the Town to issue a use permit. The underlying zoning can stay as it is.
Mr. Lovelace said that the only district that allows agricultural uses is the floodplain district. He said that does not apply to the individual that wants to do the vineyard operation because that is not in a floodplain district.
Mr. Lovelace made the following recommendations:
1) Amend comprehensive plan to specifically address vineyards and wineries
2) Amend zoning ordinance to address vineyards and wineries in specific zoning districts
by:
A. Creating a new ordinance section for farm wineries
B. Creating a new ordinance section to establish a special use permit process
C. Deleting the ordinance sections establishing conditional zoning
D. Addressing other related ordinance amendments
3) Establish proposed conditions for Elite of Va, LLC proposal
4) Establish public hearing schedule to consider comprehensive plan amendments,
Ordinance amendments and Elite of Va. Special use permit application
He also recommended increasing fees for special use permits to $500.00 because of all the costs involved in the process including advertising the public hearings, copying, and postage for mailings. He also said that as a part of that same section that a revision should be put in that says that no application will be considered for rezoning or use permit unless the taxes are paid on the parcel. He recommended putting a special use permit section in the zoning ordinance. He passed out a handout detailing the proposals for this section. He said the Council needs to decide what uses need to be considered to require a special use permit. He said the process needs to be outlined as to how the zoning administrator, the planning commission, and the Town Council are going to handle special use permit applications.
Mr. Thurston said that the goal is to get away from conditional zoning which has taken the Town out of the driver's seat, and move to special use permits which will enable the Town to say what is best for the Town.
Councilperson Richard Adams asked about how this affects activities that are currently in place for businesses prior to the proposed ordinances being passed (in the future). He asked if those businesses could be changed. Mr. Lovelace said they become what are called non-conforming uses according to state code. He said they are allowed to continue as they are, but if they want to grow or change then they go through due process to make sure that the change or expansion is still in harmony with the way that community is now or you think it will be in the future.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Amie Clowdis and Laura David representing Brookneal Dixie Youth Girls Softball, told the Council about the upcoming all-star tournament that will take place at the Brookneal ball park and requested financial help for paying the umpires for the tournament. She said the total cost for the umpires for the tournament is going to be $2,380. Upon motion by Robert Jean, seconded by James Nowlin, and unanimously carried, the Council voted to help the girls' softball league financially after the Finance and Planning Committee discusses what funding can be found in the budget to assist the league in their tournament.
POLICE REPORT
Chief Richard Baldwin distributed the police report for May 2012. He said 42 of the 63 calls for service were answered by the Brookneal Police Department. He said an alarm system has been installed in the police department, and they are still working out some of the glitches on this system. He also said he has purchased a gun safe for the police department.
PUBLIC WORKS REPORT
Mr. Mike Crews, Public Works Director, said construction on Phase 2 Rush Street started on June 4, 2012. He said street signs have been ordered for the Town streets missing signs. Councilperson Jean asked about the way-finding signs and when they would be installed. Mr. Crews said that the signs and the posts have all been received. The locations have been marked for the installation. He said some of the paperwork regarding sign lengths has not been received, and they are waiting for that. Mr. Thurston said Miss Utility needs to be notified of the sign installation.
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
Town Manager Russell Thurston said that Campbell County will be funding the Town this budget year as hoped.
