AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Request to approve the County of Roanoke Electoral Board
fiscal year 2022-2023 Elections Operating Budget requests
SUBMITTED BY: Anna Cloeter
Director of Elections and General Registrar
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Approval of the County of Roanoke Electoral Board fiscal year 2022-2023 Elections
Operating Budget requests
BACKGROUND:
Significant changes to voter registration and elections have created the need for
additional funding of the County’s Department of Elections. The Roanoke County
Electoral Board has outlined requests for those additional funds in the attached
PowerPoint presentation.
DISCUSSION:
The General Assembly has made more than 90 changes to Virginia’s election laws in
the past three (3) years; in combination, they have dramatically increased the costs
associated with conducting elections. These legal requirements cover everything from
election equipment and software to voting machine and election data security. Virginia
has expanded the availability of absentee voting to all registered vot ers with no excuse
required for a full 45 days, mandated office review of returned absentee ballot
envelopes so as to facilitate ballot curing and the pre-processing of all absentee ballots
received by mail in the week prior to Election Day. Most recently, bills have been
enacted which will completely alter the manner in which absentee results are reported,
which will necessitate use of precinct-specific ballots. Compliance with this mandate
will necessitate implementation of a Ballot-on-Demand system for early voting and an
Page 2 of 2
increase to the number of ballots ordered for Election Day. Through all of this, Roanoke
County’s Department of Elections has not received additional funding for operations and
maintained only three (3), full-time staff.
In light of these things, and pursuant to § 24.2 -111 of the Code of Virginia provide that
each locality “shall pay the reasonable expenses of the general registrar,” which
“include, but are not limited to, costs for . . . conducting elections as required by this
title; and . . . voter education”; and § 24.2 -112 of the Code of Virginia states that the
“electoral board of each county . . . shall determine the number of assistant registrars to
serve in the office of the general registrar, including any to serve full-time”, the Roanoke
County Electoral Board requests that the Board of Supervisors make every effort to
provide the funding requested as outlined in the attached PowerPoint presentation for
fiscal year 2022-2023.
The Roanoke County Electoral Board and Departmen t of Elections are committed to
ensuring that our elections are conducted freely, fairly, within the confines of the law
and with the greatest possible integrity. As such, they ask that these additional
operating expenses be approved to enable adequate preparation for upcoming
elections.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County of Roanoke Electoral Board fiscal year 2022-2023 Elections Operating
Budget requests will impact the County by adding two (2) new, full-time employees to
the County of Roanoke Classification and Pay Plan and increase the General Registrar
personnel and operating budget by an additional $263,788 as outlined in the attached
PowerPoint presentation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The County of Roanoke Electoral Board recommends approval of the fiscal ye ar 2022-
2023 Elections Operating Budget requests.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution authorizing an amendment to the consulting
services agreement with AECOM for the Fallowater Lane
Extension Project, Cave Spring Magisterial District
SUBMITTED BY: Megan Cronise
Assistant Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Staff is requesting authorization to amend the Consulting Services Agreement with
AECOM to extend construction administration and construction management services
for the Fallowater Lane Extension project.
BACKGROUND:
The Fallowater Lane Extension project includes reconstructing an existing private
access drive to improve access to future development in the area designated as The
Ridges in the adopted 419 Town Center Plan. The roadway is being constructed to
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) standards and will extend to Almond
Drive. A sidewalk is being constructed alongside the roadway.
Timeline
· September 2016: Roadway alignment identified in the draft 419 Town Center
Plan
· September 2017: Board of Supervisors reallocated Secondary Six-Year Plan
Construction Formula Funding to this project ($1,495,521)
· October 2017: Revenue Sharing Program application submitted with a Board of
Supervisors resolution
· June 2018: CTB approved the County's Revenue Sharing Program application
($502,240 County/$502,240 VDOT)
Page 2 of 3
· Summer 2018: Roanoke County began the Preliminary Engineering phase with
AECOM; the firm was selected through a Request for Proposals process
· February 2019: Additional funding needs were identified for the Preliminary
Engineering, Right-of-Way and Construction phases
· October 2019: Revenue Sharing Program application submitted with a Board of
Supervisors resolution
· Fall 2019: VDOT began the Right-of-Way phase
· December 2020: CTB approved the County's Revenue Sharing Program
application ($920,057 County/$920,057 VDOT)
· January 2021: VDOT cleared the Right-of-Way phase
· April 2021: Roanoke County advertised the project for construction
· May 2021: Board of Supervisors accepted and appropriated Revenue Sharing
funding and refund from the cancelled Merriman Road Drainage Project
($1,034,339)
· June 2021: Contract executed with A.R. Coffey and construction began
· August 2022: Anticipated project completion
DISCUSSION:
The project is currently five (5) months behind schedule due to the following challenges:
1. Unforeseen rock was encountered;
2. Unforeseen unsuitable soils were encountered and replaced;
3. Unmapped utilities were encountered; and
4. Survey discrepancies necessitated design changes.
As a result, AECOM has submitted supplements to the original contract. The total value
of all supplements submitted to date is $126,323, or thirty -two point four percent
(32.4%) of the original contract. Staff requests authorization to increase the contract
with AECOM to $530,000, which is an increase of thirty-six percent (36%) over the
original contract amount.
Contract amendments of this type are normally within the oversight of the County
Administrator as all necessary funds have already been appropriated to the project
budget. However, the requested supplements to the contract are in excess of twenty-
five percent (25%) of the original contract amount. According to Roanoke County
procurement regulations and the Procurement Code of Virginia, changes exceeding
twenty-five percent (25%) must be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding is available in the VDOT project budget to accommodate the AECOM
supplements. All project funds have been appropriated and no additional County funds
are needed at this time.
Page 3 of 3
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the amendment and
extension of the Consulting Services Agreement with AECOM.

SUBMITTED BY: Laurie Gearheart
Director of Finance and Management Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Accept and appropriate funds in the amount of $9,147,263 from the Department of the
Treasury
BACKGROUND:
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was signed into law. The
$1.9 trillion package includes funding for stimulus checks, unemployment assistance,
education, public health, child tax credits, transportation and infrastructure, pensions,
raising the federal minimum wage, support for businesses, child care and community
support.
In addition, $350 billion has been set aside for State and local governments. Of this
amount, $65.1 billion has been set aside for counties, and the County of Roanoke
portion is $18,294,526. The first half of the allocation was received on May 19, 2021, in
the amount of $9,147,263, and was appropriated by the Board at the October 19, 2021
meeting. The second half of the allocation will be received in the next couple of weeks.
DISCUSSION:
The Treasury has released the Final Rule, which outlines the guidance on eligible and
ineligible uses of the funds.
Page 2 of 2
The guidance for eligible uses of the funds are outlined in six broad categories which
are; Support Public Health Response, Address Negative Economic Impacts, Replace
Public Sector Revenue Loss, Premium Pay for Essential Workers, Water and Sewer
Infrastructure, and Broadband Infrastructure.
In addition, the guidance states ARPA funds may only be used to cover costs that were
incurred during the period that began on March 3, 2021, and ends on December 31,
2024. Costs can be “incurred” by December 31, 2024, and expended through
December 31, 2026
During a work session held on April 12, 2022, staff reviewed with the Board of
Supervisors ideas for the use of the funds to include funding for Broadband proje cts,
Cybersecurity upgrades, heavy equipment, water and sewer needs, stormwater, mental
health initiatives, and other identified qualifying projects.
Since then, Staff have continued to gather information on eligible uses of the funds and
Attachment A outlines the current projects and projected costs for our total allocation of
$18,294,526.
Staff will provide updates to the Board on how the projects are progressing and how the
allocations are being spent.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No County funds are required. Funds are 100% Federal funds. $9,147,263 will be
appropriated to the Grant Fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and scheduling the
second reading for June 14, 2022 to accept and appropriate $9,147,2 63 to the grant
fund for the second payment to be received of the locally-based allocation of ARPA

BACKGROUND:
Roanoke County’s greenways and trails are identified and prioritized in the regionally
approved 2018 Roanoke Valley Greenway Plan, adopted by the City of Roanoke,
County of Roanoke, County of Botetourt, City of Salem and Town of Vinton. The

projects, such as Long Ridge Trail, that are to be developed as opportunities and
resources arise. There is a high demand in the region for additional trails that help
strengthen communities by providing local recreation opportunities and neighborhood
connections between parks and greenways. The 2007 Roanoke County Comprehensive
Master Plan for Parks and Facilities identifies the development of greenways and trails
as a high priority desired by citizens in Roanoke County. The Roanoke County 2016
Community Strategic Plan identifies outdoor recreation as a regional priority and
supports the expansion of greenways and trails.

Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and Happy Hollow
Gardens, which is a local park owned by Roanoke County. Long Ridge Trail is
undeveloped at this time and provides a unique opportunity for a future woodland
natural surface trail.
Poor Mountain Natural Area Preserve protects the world's largest population of
piratebush, a globally rare shrub, which is restricted to only a handful of sites in the
mountains of Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. The Preserve is 1,326 acres with
a small parking lot and natural surface hiking trails located on the westside of Twelve
O’Clock Knob Road (State Route 694). Trails include a relatively e asy 1-mile loop
through the piratebush population, and a steep and strenuous 4 -mile loop that takes
several hours to complete. The property is managed by the Virginia DCR Division of
Natural Heritage.
Happy Hollow Gardens is a 38-acre local park with a small parking lot, a wooden
elevated boardwalk trail through beautiful azaleas, a 2 -mile natural surface trail along a
creek, an outdoor amphitheater, and picnic shelter. It is managed by Roanoke County
Parks, Recreation and Tourism.
DISCUSSION:
Tax Parcel ID 075.00-01-05.01-0000 is a 90-acre parcel located off Twelve O’Clock
Knob Road between Poor Mountain Natural Area Preserve and Happy Hollow Gardens.
The property owners (Justin Keith Belcher and Diona Harrison) have agreed to donate
and convey a 30-50' variable width easement with a total area of 1.88 acres along the
southern and southwestern boundaries of the property, as shown on the attached
preliminary plat prepared by Roanoke County Department of Development Services. A
portion of the property boundary from “A” to “B” is the centerline of an existing 8 -10’
variable width unimproved road, identified on recorded plats as the “Burket Road”. Staff
are recommending that the future Long Ridge Trail be constructed north of and parallel
to the existing road, and the easement width has been designed to accommodate this
trail construction. Additionally, the easement width has been extended to 50’ on steep
slopes to accommodate the trail construction.
The property owners have generously agreed to donate a perma nent greenway
easement to Roanoke County for construction and maintenance of a public access
easement for Long Ridge Trail. The greenway easement will not be open to the public
until such time as construction of Long Ridge Trail is complete. Staff recommends that
the trail will not be constructed and open for public access until easements are obtained
on adjacent properties to provide connectivity between Poor Mountain Natural Area
Preserve and Happy Hollow Gardens.
Page 3 of 3
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to Roanoke County for preparation of the easement, as the deed and
plat have been prepared by Roanoke County staff. Roanoke County will be responsible
for the future construction and maintenance of Long Ridge Trail. It is anticipated that the
Pathfinders for Greenways, Inc. will construct the natural surface trail with volunteer
labor and help maintain it for Roanoke County.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of this ordinance and scheduling the
second reading for June 14, 2022.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance designating Sugar Loaf Mountain Nature
Preserve, located in the Windsor Hills Magisterial District, to
be retained and used for the preservation and provision of
open-space land (Tax Map Number 076.01-01-07.00-0000)
SUBMITTED BY: Lindsay B. Webb
Parks Planning and Development Manager
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Ordinance designating Sugar Loaf Mountain Nature Preserve, located in the Windsor
Hills Magisterial District, to be retained and used for the preservation and provision of
open-space land (Tax Map Number 076.01-01-07.00-0000)
BACKGROUND:
Roanoke County possesses a parcel of real estate containing approximately 46.31
acres located at 5624 Longridge Drive, more commonly known as Sugar Loaf Mountain
Nature Preserve, in the Windsor Hills Magisterial District, and further designated as
Roanoke County Tax Map Number 076.01 -01-07.00-0000. Acquired in 1995, the
property is forested, steep and undeveloped with a stream that crosses through the
northern portion of the property. The property is currently m anaged and maintained as
forested open space. County staff are proposing to place the parcel into a Stormwater
Forest/Open Space Conservation Easement, as discussed below.
DISCUSSION:
Virginia Code § 10.1-1701 specifically authorizes the County, as a “public body” defined
in Virginia Code § 10.1-1700, to designate any real property in which it has an interest
of not less than five years duration to be retained and used for the preservation and
provision of open-space land, so long as the use of the real p roperty for open-space
Page 2 of 3
land conforms to the official comprehensive plan for the area in which the property is
located.
The Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan encourages resource protection to preserve
open space, stream, woodlands, critical slopes, and ridgelines. Sugar Loaf Mountain
Nature Preserve is located within the Windsor Hill Community Planning Area, and it is
identified as a key natural resource feature. The Future Land Use Designation for the
property is Rural Preserve; however, the Comprehensive Plan Vision Statement
recommends it for Conservation due to the steep slopes. The northern portion of the
property is zoned R-1 Low Density Residential, and the southern portion of the property
is zoned AG-3 Agricultural/Rural Preserve. The property is also adjacent and south of a
Wellhead Protection Overlay District. These zoning designations support the
preservation of remote rural residential, forested, and recreational areas. The use of
Sugar Loaf Mountain Nature Preserve for open-space land conforms to the official
comprehensive plan for the area in which the property is located.
County staff recommend protecting and preserving Sugarloaf Mountain Nature Preserve
by providing for open-space land on the property by restricting the use of the property,
as set forth on the attached Deed Restriction. Once the Deed Restriction is recorded,
and pursuant to Virginia Code § 10.1-1700, Sugarloaf Mountain Nature Preserve may
continue to be used for (i) park or recreational purposes, (ii) conservation of land or
other natural resources, (iii) historic or scenic purposes, (iv) assisting in the shaping of
the character, direction, and timing of community development, (v) wetlands, or (vi)
agricultural and forestal production.
The purpose of this request is to provide water quality offsets for regulated land
disturbing activities that occur, or will occur, on other lands owned by the County of
Roanoke, in order to satisfy water quality requirements of Virginia’s Stormwater
Management Regulations. Under these stormwater regulations, the County may utilize
offsite stormwater management facilities located on Sugar Loaf Mountain Nature
Preserve to meet the required phosphorus nutrient reductions from other off -site land-
disturbing activities elsewhere in the County, on Cou nty owned lands. With the
development of mountain bike trails, greenways and other recreational park amenities,
Parks, Recreation and Tourism needs additional water quality offsets to satisfy water
quality requirements. This deed restriction can be transfe rred to another Roanoke
County parcel in the future if a change in use for Sugar Loaf Mountain Nature Preserve
was needed.
The stormwater forest/open space at Sugar Loaf Mountain Nature Preserve will be
available for use as soon as the Deed Restriction is recorded amongst the land records.
The only change made since the first reading of the ordinance held on May 10, 2022 is
a reference to the future ordinance number in the Deed Restriction.

For a subset of Virginians,broadband connections are not attainable because their home
exceeds an internet service provider’s standard connection drop length from a roadway or
easement containing telecommunications infrastructure.The cost incurred by home
owners to extend broadband infrastructure to these locations,referred to as special
construction costs,range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars,depending on the
distance and cost to connect the location.
Two ways to qualify:
1.Income less than $89,066 or below 120% of the Area Median Income

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: May 24, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: The petition of Chyrel Gregorieff to obtain a special use
permit to operate a short-term rental on approximately 0.5
acre, on property zoned R-1, Low Density Residential
District, located at 4309 Cresthill Drive, Windsor Hills
Magisterial District
SUBMITTED BY: Philip Thompson
Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Agenda item for public hearing and second reading of ordinance for a special use
permit for a short-term rental in a residential district.
BACKGROUND:
· The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a short-term rental as “the
provision of a room or space that is suitable or intended for occupancy for
dwelling, sleeping, or lodging purposes, for a period of fewer than 30 consecutive
days, in exchange for a charge for the occupancy. This use does not include
existing uses defined in this ordinance including bed and breakfast, bed and
breakfast inn, boarding house, country inn, and hotel/motel/motor lodge.”
· A short-term rental has several use and design standards. In the R -1 and R-2
zoning districts, a special use permit is required for a short-term rental on lots
less than five (5) acres in size.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application on May 3, 2022.
One (1) citizen spoke during the public hearing. Concerns raised included the guest

parking space being located near an existing bedroom and guests causing noise when
they leave early in the morning or late at night; and impact to property values. The
Commissioners asked the applicant several questions and she provided the following
information: the applicant only allows one car/parking space and does not allow renters
to park on the street due to safety concerns; the short-term rental is only for the
basement apartment space; the applicant lives upstairs; the applicant prefers short-term
rental over long-term rental as it gives her more control and causes less damage; and
the applicant stated that she will be adding language to her rental agreement to address
noise associated with parking.
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the special use permit with one
condition:
1. The short-term rental shall be limited to the basement apartment of the existing
residential dwelling, which is approximately 1,300 square feet in size.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact on this agenda item.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the second reading of an
ordinance for a special use permit to operate a short -term rental on approximately 0.50
acre on property zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District, with one condition:
1. The short-term rental shall be limited to the basement apartment of the existing
residential dwelling, which is approximately 1,300 square feet in size.
STAFF REPORT
Petitioner: Chyrel Gregorieff
Request: Obtain a special use permit to operate a short-term rental on approximately 0.5 acre
on property zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Chyrel Gregorieff is petitioning to obtain a special use permit to operate a short-term rental on approximately 0.5
acre on property zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District, located on 4309 Cresthill Drive, Windsor Hills
Magisterial District. The short-term rental is proposed for the basement apartment approximately 1,300 square feet
in size.
The 2005 Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan indicates the Future Land Use Designation of this parcel is
Neighborhood Conservation. Neighborhood Conservation is a future land use area where established single-family
neighborhoods are delineated and the conservation of the existing development pattern is encouraged. The
proposed special use permit is consistent with the Neighborhood Conservation future land use designation.
1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a short-term rental as “the provision of a room or space that
is suitable or intended for occupancy for dwelling, sleeping, or lodging purposes, for a period of fewer than
30 consecutive days, in exchange for a charge for the occupancy. This use does not include existing uses
defined in this ordinance including bed and breakfast, bed and breakfast inn, boarding house, country inn,
and hotel/motel/motor lodge.” Section 30-85-24.55 of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance contains the
following use and design standards for short-term rentals:

magisterial district.
b. The applicant’s name, address, and personal contact information.
c. The name, address, and personal contact information of the authorized party responsible

personal contact information, or any change in the name, address or personal contact information
of the authorized party responsible for resolving complaints.
3. A short-term rental zoning permit expires upon any change in ownership of the property.
4. A short-term rental zoning permit may be revoked by the Zoning Administrator due to the failure of
the applicant to comply with all applicable regulations set forth in this section or elsewhere in the
Zoning Ordinance or County Code.
(B) In the R-1 and R-2 zoning district, the following standard shall apply:
1. A special use permit shall be required on lots less than five (5) acres. Lots that are five (5) acres or
greater in size, a short-term rental shall be considered a use permitted by right.

SEC. 30-41. - R-1 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
Sec. 30-41-1. - Purpose.
The R-1, low density residential district is established for areas of the county within the urban
service area with existing low-middle density residential development, with an average density of
from one (1) to three (3) units per acre, and land which appears appropriate for such
development. These areas are generally consistent with the neighborhood conservation land use
category as recommended in the comprehensive plan. In addition, where surrounding
development and the level of public services warrant, these areas coincide with the development
category recommended in the plan. This district is intended to provide the highest degree of
protection from potentially incompatible uses and residential development of a significantly
different density, size, or scale, in order to maintain the health, safety, appearance and overall
quality of life of existing and future neighborhoods. In addition to single-family residences, only
uses of a community nature which are generally deemed compatible are permitted in this district.
This would include parks and playgrounds, schools and other similar neighborhood activities.

STAFF REPORT
Petitioner: Om Shree Hospitality, LLC
Request: Obtain a special use permit in a C-2, High Intensity Commercial, District to allow a
multi-family use to account for more than 50 percent of the gross floor area on the
site, on approximately 9.99 acres
plan “Exhibit A” prepared by Lumsden and Associates dated March 1,
2022, subject to any changes required during the site plan review process.
2. The maximum number of apartments shall be limited to 128.
Om Shree Hospitality, LLC is requesting to obtain a special use permit to allow a multi-family use to account for
more than 50 percent of the gross floor area on the site of approximately 9.99 acres zoned C-2, High Intensity
Commercial District, located just north of Interstate 81, Exit 137 and within the 2700 block of Wildwood Road and
the 1700 block of Skyview Road. The project involves the construction of 128 apartments in two (2) 5-story
buildings. The subject properties are located in the Glenvar Community Planning Area.
Both subject parcels are designated Core on the future land use map of the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan.
Core is a future land use area where high intensity urban development is encouraged. Land uses within core areas
may parallel the central business districts of Roanoke, Salem and Vinton. Core areas may also be appropriate for
larger-scale highway-oriented retail uses and regionally based shopping facilities. Due to limited availability, areas
designated as Core are not appropriate for tax-exempt facilities. The proposed special use permit is not consistent
with the Core future land use designation.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a multi-family dwelling as: “a building or portion thereof which
contains three (3) of more dwelling units for permanent occupancy, regardless of the method of ownership. Included
in this use type would be garden apartments, low and high rise apartments, apartments for elderly housing and
condominiums.” A multi-family use type is a permitted use in the C-2, High Intensity Commercial District, subject to
Use and Design Standards in Article IV of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance. The C-2 zoning district
regulations are attached to this report, as well as the Use and Design standards.
Development of the site would require comprehensive site plan review(s) and building permit review(s).
ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Background – In August 2020, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning of 9.99 acres from
AG-1, Agricultural/Rural Low Density District, to C-2, High Intensity Commercial District, for the construction of a
Topography/Vegetation – The site sits high above Wildwood Road on a hill/mountain and is currently heavily
wooded. Several retaining walls are shown on the concept plan. The concept plan shows building coverage
proposed to be 7.36% and lot coverage 23.72% of the property, or 2.37 acres. Approximately 4.1 acres is marked
“undisturbed” on the concept plan.
District to the north, AG-1 Agricultural/Rural Low Density to the east, south, and west, and R-1 Low Density
Residential to the west. The subject parcels are located just north of Skyview Road and Interstate 81.
The surrounding uses include an inactive quarry adjacent to the northern boundary of the property, single family
homes adjacent to the western and southeastern boundary, and undeveloped, wooded agricultural land to the east.
An existing hotel is located close by on Skyview Road in Roanoke County. An existing hotel and a new hotel under
construction are both located on the opposite side of Wildwood Road in the City of Salem.
ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
include 64 units each. No elevations or building renderings have been provided by the applicant. The entrance/exit
is shown on Wildwood Road. The locations of the Stormwater Management area, amenities area, and retaining
walls are also shown on the concept plan. Required buffer yard is proposed along the property line parallel to
Wildwood Road, as required adjacent to AG-1 zoned properties. The parking lot is proposed to provide a total of 224
spaces. This includes 94 spaces as the first floor within the two buildings. .
Access/Traffic Circulation – One vehicular access point on Wildwood Road is shown on the concept plan. VDOT has
reviewed the application; a land use permit is required, but will not be pursued until or unless Roanoke County
approves the special use permit request. To obtain the land use permit from VDOT the applicant will need to meet
access management design standards of the VDOT Road Design Manual.
Agency Comments – Various agencies commented on the original concept plan. The following comments were
provided by the various agencies on this request:
Building Safety: The Office of Building Safety stated that all construction will need to meet the requirements
of the applicable Virginia Construction Code and applicable codes.
Transportation: Transportation staff offer two comments:
1. Wildwood Road between Main Street is Salem and the Havens Wildlife Management Area is
included as a recommended connection in the 2018 Roanoke Valley Greenway Plan.
2. Wildwood Road is included in the 2012 Update to the RVAMPO Bikeway Plan as a Vision List
Corridor.
3. Construction is underway to widen Interstate 81 to three lanes in each direction between Exit 137
and Exit 141.
4. Interstate 81 northbound will be widened between Exist 128 and Exit 137. This project is funded and
construction is anticipated in 2028.
Solid Waste: No comments.
Fire & Rescue: The proposed project will not significantly increase services, but has the potential for a slight
increase in fire, medical, and vehicle accident responses due to the number of proposed units. Fire flow and
Economic Development: Economic Development supports the special use permit request to develop two
multi-family dwellings at the Wildwood and Skyview Road properties due to strong market demand for new
housing, and the excellent access provided to multiple regional employment centers. The proposed use is
opportunities in support of existing employer needs and workplace development objectives. The addition of
128 new multi-family units also adds to the volume and diversity of County housing options, supports new
population growth, enhances the tax base, and develops a topographically challenging site that had been
underutilized to date.
Stormwater Operations: No Floodplain concerns.
VDOT: VDOT had four comments on the request: 1.) A Land Use Permit will be required if a new entrance is
needed from the VDOT right-of-way or for the change in use of an existing entrance. 2.) The VDOT Road
Design Manual, Appendix F: Access Management Design Standards for Entrances and Intersections must
be adhered to where applicable for commercial entrances. This includes but is not limited to commercial
entrance spacing and intersection sight distance. The intersection sight distance must be field verified and
measures taken to ensure the minimum require distances can be met. 3.) VDOT concurs with the conclusion
of the traffic analysis submitted. It appears that right or left turn lanes are not warranted along Wildwood
Road for this project. 4.) The department will not issue an approval of the plans or any necessary land Use
Permits until the locality approves this request. In addition, information regarding any changes to the existing
drainage system should also be included for review.
CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
is a future land use area where high intensity urban development is encouraged. Land uses within core areas may
parallel the central business districts of Roanoke, Salem and Vinton. Core areas may also be appropriate for larger-
scale highway-oriented retail uses and regionally based shopping facilities. Due to limited availability, areas
designated as Core are not appropriate for tax-exempt facilities. The proposed special use permit is not consistent
with the Core future land use designation. .
STAFF CONCLUSIONS
Om Shree Hospitality, LLC is requesting to obtain a special use permit to allow a multi-family use to account for
more than 50 percent of the gross floor area on the site of approximately 9.99 acres zoned C-2, High Intensity
Commercial District, located just north of Interstate 81, Exit 137 and within the 2700 block of Wildwood Road and
the 1700 block of Skyview Road. The project involves the construction of 128 apartments in two (2) 5-story
buildings. The subject properties are located in the Glenvar Community Planning Area.
When reviewing a special use permit adverse impacts shall be considered as well as the design, scale, use and
operation of any proposed use and how well the proposed use conforms to the County’s Comprehensive Plan as
well as the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance.
If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the proposed project, staff has suggested two conditions for
the special use permit dealing with concept plan conformance and limiting the number of dwelling units.

SENIOR ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEYS
SAMPLE MOTIONS
The petition of Om Shree Hospitality, LLC to obtain a special use permit to allow a multi-
family use to account for more than 50 percent of the gross floor area on property
containing approximately 9.99 acres, located within the 2700 block of Wildwood Road
and the 1700 block of Skyview Road, in the Catawba Magisterial District.
MOTION TO APPROVE
I find that the proposed special use permit:
1. Meets the requirements of Section 30-19-1 of the Roanoke County Code and that
the proposed special use conforms with the standards set forth in article IV, use
and design standards of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance;
2. While not in conformance with the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan’s future
land use designation of “Core,” the proposed use will meet the need for available
housing that currently exists in Roanoke County, and will have a minimum adverse
impact on the surrounding neighborhood and community.
I therefore MOVE THAT WE APPROVE the petition to obtain a special use permit, with
the following conditions:
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the concept plan titled
“Exhibit A” prepared by Lumsden and Associates, dated March 1, 2022, subject to
any changes required during the site plan review process;
2. The maximum number of apartments shall be limited to 128; and
3. The apartment buildings shall be constructed in general conformance with the
conceptual architectural plans titled “Conceptual Plans for Om Shree Hospitality,
LLC” prepared by Alam Design Group, dated March 10, 2022, subject to any
changes required during the building permit review process.
MOTION TO DENY
I find that the proposed special use permit request:
1. Is inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the County’s adopted com prehensive
plan or good zoning practice, and/or
2. Will result in substantial detriment to the community.
I therefore MOVE THAT WE DENY the request.
MOTION TO DELAY ACTION
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY
5204 Bernard Drive, P.O. Box 29800 Roanoke, Virginia 24018-0798
I find that the required information for the submitted proposal is incomplete. I therefore

Zye Reinhardt and Gaven Reinhardt are requesting a special use permit in an AR, Agricultural/Residential, District
to operate a special events facility. A wedding venue is proposed for 2875 Timberview Road, on which there is
currently a single-family residence. The wedding venue would be served by an access road connecting 2875
Timberview Road to Loch Haven Drive across 0 Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.03-01-17.01-0000) and 0 Loch Haven
Drive (TM# 026.17-01-03.01-0000).
The 2005 Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan indicates that the Future Land Use Designation of 2875
Timberview Road is almost entirely Rural Preserve. Rural Preserve is a future land use designation consisting of
mostly undeveloped, outlying lands. These rural regions are generally seen as stable and require high degree of
protection to preserve agricultural, forestal, recreational, and remote rural residential areas. The proposed project is
consistent with the Rural Preserve future land use designation.
Additionally, 0 Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.03-01-17.01-0000) and 0 Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.17-01-03.01-
0000), as well as approximately 1.1 acres in the southeastern corner of 2875 Timberview Road, fall under the
Transition future land use designation. Transition is a future land use area that encourages the orderly development
of highway frontage parcels. Transition areas generally serve as developed buffers between highways and nearby
or adjacent lower intensity development. Intense retail and highway oriented commercial uses are discouraged in
transition areas, which are more suitable for office, institutional and small-scale, coordinated retail uses. The
proposed project is also consistent with the Transition future land use designation.
1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Section 30-29-5 of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines special events facility as “a place,
structure, or other facility used for the assembly of or intention of attracting people for cultural, ceremonial,
celebratory purposes or civic clubs for which there is a leasing fee. Such assembly includes, but is not
limited to, anniversary and birthday celebrations, reunions, weddings, and receptions. Music concerts or
festivals as a primary use shall be considered an outdoor gathering.”
A special events facility is permitted by special use permit in the AR, Agricultural/Residential, District,
subject to Use and Design Standards in Article IV of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance. The standards
for a special events facility are listed below:
(A) General Standards:
1. The site shall front directly on and have direct access to a publicly owned and maintained street.
2. Outdoor amplified music shall be regulated by Section 13-21(6) of the County Code (Noise
Ordinance).
(B) Additional standards in the AR District:
1. The minimum acreage for a special events facility shall be 10 acres.
Section 13-21 (6) of the County Code (Noise Ordinance) states:
The following acts are declared to be noise disturbances in violation of this article unless specifically
excepted in section 13-19.
(6) Using or operating a loudspeaker or other sound amplification devices in a fixed or movable position
exterior to any building, or mounted upon any motor vehicle or mounted in the interior of a building with the
intent of providing service to an exterior area for the purpose of commercial advertising, giving instruction,
information, directions, talks, addresses, lectures, or providing entertainment to any persons or assemblage
of persons on any private or public property, between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. the following
day.
2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Background – The property at 2875 Timberview Road is approximately 30.6 acres in size. There are two
buildings on the property: an approximately 14,700 square foot single-family dwelling in the northeastern
part of the property, and an approximately 1,600 square foot storage barn in the southeastern part of the
property. The existing single-family dwelling would continue to serve as a single-family dwelling under this
proposal, but the owners would vacate the premises for most weddings.
The property at 0 Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.03-01-17.01-0000) that abuts 2875 Timberview Road is
approximately 1.68 acres in size and is vacant. This parcel is owned by the Western Virginia Regional Industrial
Facilities Authority (WVRIFA), which has agreed to grant the applicants an easement for an access road if the
special use permit is approved.
The property at 0 Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.17-01-03.01-0000) that abuts Loch Haven Drive is
approximately 10.24 acres in size. This parcel is owned by WVRIFA, and contains a natural gas pumping station
as well as an approximately 100-foot-long, 14-foot-wide gravel driveway and an approximately 1,250 square foot
use permit is approved.
Topography/Vegetation – The property at 2875 Timberview Road rises from the west and north toward the
south and east. Elevations on the property range from 1,205 feet (southwest corner) to 1,346 ft (south-
central part of property). The existing single-family dwelling sits at approximately 1,320 feet, while the
elevation at the bottom of the driveway on Timberview Road is 1,273 feet. The existing storage barn sits at
approximately 1,327 feet. The northern and western frontages of the property are wooded, as well as the
northeastern and southeastern corners, while most of the southern portion of the property is open field. A
small creek runs through the northwestern portion of the property, but no portion of the property is in the
floodway or floodplain.
Both WVRIFA-owned parcels (0 Loch Haven Drive, TM# 026.03-01-17.01-0000 and 0 Loch Haven Drive,
TM# 026.17-01-03.01-0000) are entirely wooded. A small creek runs north-south through the middle of the
parcel that abuts Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.17-01-03.01-0000), and a small segment of this creek runs
through the west-central portion of the parcel that abuts 2875 Timberview Road (TM# 026.03-01-17.01-0000).
The land along the western bank of this creek is mostly flat, while the eastern bank rises steeply to the east.
Elevations on the parcel that abuts 2875 Timberview Road (TM# 026.03-01-17.01-0000) range from 1,199 feet in
the central part of the western boundary to 1,235 feet in the southeastern corner. Elevations on the parcel that
abuts Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.17-01-03.01-0000) range from 1,182 feet in the southwestern corner to 1,243
feet in the northeastern corner. Both WVRIFA-owned parcels are entirely wooded, save for the natural gas
pumping station, gravel driveway, and gravel parking area adjacent to Loch Haven Drive. The existing natural
gas pumping station sits at approximately 1,207 feet.
3, Agricultural/Rural Preserve District, to the north and west; and AR, Agricultural/Residential District to the
east and south. All parcels immediately adjacent to the two WVRIFA-owned parcels are zoned AR,
Agricultural/Residential District.
The Timberview Road neighborhood is predominantly composed of single-family residences on large lots,
while the Loch Haven Drive neighborhood is predominantly composed of single-family residences on small-
to medium-sized lots. The closest dwelling unit to any of the proposed elements of the special events facility
is the single-family dwelling at 2885 Timberview Road, which is located approximately 80 feet from the
northeast corner of the proposed parking area. The closest dwelling unit to the proposed access road is the
single-family dwelling at 2504 Loch Haven Drive, which is located approximately 250 feet south of where the
access road is proposed to cut across the southern portion of 2875 Timberview Road.
3.ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Site Layout/Architecture – The existing single-family dwelling at 2875 Timberview Road is approximately
14,700 square feet in size. Under this proposal, the existing basketball gymnasium (4,200 sq. ft.) in the
single-family dwelling would be converted into a wedding chapel. The existing racquetball court (1,050 sq.
ft.) immediately adjacent to the gymnasium would be converted into restrooms, catering prep, and storage.
The provided concept plan, floor layout, and renderings show these proposed changes.
Outdoor weddings would be an option under this proposal. These outdoor weddings could be held in tents
immediately south of the proposed parking area (shown on concept plan), in the patio/pool area immediately
south of the existing single-family dwelling, or on the front steps of the existing single-family dwelling (north
side of dwelling). Outdoor weddings would be served by portable restroom trailers, as shown on the concept
plan.
Receptions would be held in the main living area until the renovation of the gymnasium is complete. From
that point forward, receptions would be held in the chapel.
Access/Traffic Circulation – The property at 2875 Timberview Road currently has one point of access, a
paved driveway connecting to Timberview Road. This driveway has an existing gate at the point where it
meets Timberview Road. A dirt road extends from the southern terminus of the paved driveway, behind the
existing single-family dwelling, to the existing storage barn in the southeastern corner of the property. The
property at 0 Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.17-01-03.01-0000) that abuts Loch Haven Drive has one point of
access, a short gravel driveway leading to a gravel parking area and natural gas pumping station. The property
at 0 Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.03-01-17.01-0000) that abuts 2875 Timberview Road currently has no points
of access.
Under this proposal, a new 16-foot-wide gravel access road would be constructed across the two WVRIFA-
owned parcels and across the southern portion of 2875 Timberview Road, utilizing segments of the existing
gravel driveway on 0 Loch Haven Drive (TM# 026.17-01-03.01-0000) and the existing dirt road on 2875
Timberview Road. The proposed access road would connect to proposed parking area, and would be the only
point of access for those attending or working at events held at 2875 Timberview Road. The existing gate on the
existing paved driveway at 2875 Timberview Road would remain closed during all events held at 2875
Timberview Road. This gate would not be locked, however, so that emergency vehicles can access the property
quickly, if needed.
2022, to provide information about the application to property owners and residents of the surrounding
neighborhood. Letters were sent out to everyone who resides on or owns property that fronts on Timberview
Road, Loch Haven Drive, Dutch Oven Road, Virginia Deer Road, Louise Wells Drive, Gil Haven Drive, Loch
Haven Lake Drive, Crotts Lane, and Soft Drive, as well as to all owners and residents of “landlocked”
parcels between Timberview Road and Loch Haven Drive. All in all, 194 letters were sent out containing the
application and hearing date information along with direct contact information for staff and instructions for
how to submit comments. Sixteen people attended the community meeting held at Green Ridge Recreation
Center on April 20, 2022.
Agencies Comments
Office of Building Safety – The structure will need to complete the Roanoke County Change of Use process.
The structure will need to meet all of the requirements of the Uniform Statewide Building Code for the new
use.
CommIT - No objections to the zoning request as it relates to Communication in Roanoke County
Economic Development – Economic Development supports the special use permit request by Mark
Reinhardt at 2875 Timberview Road for the establishment of a special use facility/wedding venue at this
location. The project supports the economic development goals of the County to increase the tax base and
employment while providing high quality amenities to residents and visitors. The venue will also support the
region's tourism industry and will bring new visitors and economic growth to the County.
Fire and Rescue – This project with not adversely impact the services that Fire and Rescue provides.
During the site plan review process, Fire and Rescue will address any applicable fire flow or access
requirements.
General Services – General Services does not see any issues with the application and does not have any
comments.
Parks and Recreation - There does not appear to be any anticipated impacts to Parks, Recreation, and
Stormwater – There are no floodplain concerns.
VDOT – We have reviewed the above mentioned special use request and have the following comments:
1. A Land Use Permit will be required if a new entrance is needed from the VDOT right-of-way or for the
change in use of an existing entrance.
2. The VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix F: Access Management Design Standards for Entrances and
Intersections must be adhered to where applicable for commercial entrances. This includes but is not limited
to commercial entrance spacing and intersection sight distance. The intersection sight distance must be
field verified and measures taken to ensure the minimum required distances can be met.
3. Although traffic for this land use is event-based, a TIA may be required to show how traffic generated by
this site will affect traffic flow on Loch Haven Drive.
4. The department will not issue an approval of the plans or any necessary Land Use Permits until the
locality approves this request. In addition, information regarding any changes to the existing drainage
system should also be included for review.
Roanoke County Transportation – Loch Haven Road is listed as a priority corridor in the RVAMPO Bikeway
Plan 2012 update (attached) and we do not foresee any issues with the proposed entrance off of Loch
Haven Road.
4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMMUNITY PLAN
The 2005 Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan indicates that the Future Land Use designation of 2875
Timberview Road is mostly Rural Preserve. Rural Preserve is a future land use area of mostly undeveloped,
outlying lands. These rural regions are generally stable and require a high degree of protection to preserve
agricultural, forestal, recreational, and remote rural residential areas. The proposed special events facility
use is consistent with the Rural Preserve future land use designation, as outdoor recreation facilities are
considered an appropriate land use type under the Rural Preserve future land use designation.
The two WVRIFA-owned parcels, as well as approximately 1.1 acres in the southeastern corner of 2875
Timberview Road, are designated Transition on the Future Land Use map. Transition is a future land use
area that encourages the orderly development of highway frontage parcels. Transition areas generally serve
as developed buffers between highways and nearby or adjacent lower intensity development. Intense retail
and highway oriented commercial uses are discouraged in transition areas, which are more suitable for
office, institutional and small-scale, coordinated retail uses. The proposed project is also consistent with the
Transition future land use designation, as public and private recreational facilities are considered an
appropriate land use type under the Transition future land use designation.
5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS
Zye and Gaven Reinhardt are requesting a special use permit in an AR, Agricultural/Residential, District to
operate a special events facility. A wedding venue is proposed for the site, on which there is currently a
single-family residence. The proposed project is consistent with the Rural Preserve future land use
designation, as well as the Transition future land use designation.
When reviewing a special use permit adverse impacts shall be considered as well as the design, scale, use
and operation of any proposed use and how well the proposed use conforms to the County’s
Comprehensive Plan as well as the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff has suggested conditions
dealing with concept plan conformance, access, screening and buffering, and size limits. The Planning
hearing.

JUSTIFICATION FOR REZONING, SPECIAL USE PERMIT WAIVER OR COMP PLAN (15.2-2232) REVIEW
REQUESTS Applicant The Planning Commission will study rezoning, special use permit waiver or
community plan (15.2-2232) review requests to determine the need and justification for the change in
terms of public health, safety, and general welfare. Please answer the following questions as
thoroughly as possible. Use additional space if necessary.
Please explain how the request furthers the purposes of the Roanoke County Ordinance as well as the
purpose found at the beginning of the applicable zoning district classification in the Zoning Ordinance.
The request is for a special use permit that will allow my colleagues and I to operate a special use
facility. The special use facility that we are inquiring is a wedding venue. As well as a wedding venue we
will also be hosting business parties and other small functions during our colder months. This request
will help maintain the natural forests located on the property of the venue due to the fact that we will
not be destroying or changing the scenic beauty located in this region. Our main goal is to
highlight/elevate the natural beauty around our venue to help our guests appreciate all that Roanoke
has to offer.
Please explain how the project conforms to the general guidelines and policies contained in the
Roanoke County Community Plan.
No longer will this residence be a home to few but a beautiful wedding destination to many, providing
memories that will last a lifetime. The wedding venue conforms to the Roanoke community plan by
ensuring scenic beauty within our blue ridge mountains. The wedding parties traveling from far and
wide will come into contact with our gorgeous scenery and may possibly fall in love with this area,
ensuring future tourists. These weddings will help promote many different religions from far and wide,
showing that Roanoke is an inviting area to all types of people.
Please describe the impact(s) of the request on the property itself, the adjoining properties, and the
surrounding area, as well as the impacts on public services and facilities, including water/sewer,
roads, schools, parks/recreation and fire and rescue.
The property will experience a high volume of citizens on many given weekends. As neighbors
we have reached out to the adjoining properties ensuring music will be discontinued after 10pm when
the weddings will end (our lovely neighbors on adjoining properties have given us support in this
endeavor). The venue is sitting on a private well and sewage system. Near the venue resides 3 hotels
which will allow out of town guests to stay within close proximity to the venue and help Roanoke county
economic growth.

The Reinhardt Chateau
Refer to the engineer drawn concept plan page 3
The narrative
At the Reinhardt Chateau we plan on hosting weddings and business parties. The parties that
attend at the Chateau will enter and leave from our loch haven easement only. A gate that is located on
Timberview road will be shut and all guests will be notified before hand by not only the chateau but the
bride and groom to travel down loch haven. The gate on Timberview will only be accessed by emergency
personnel if needed. I want to reiterate that all guests will be notified on our future website and by the
wedding party that they must enter solely from the loch haven side as to not cause traffic on
Timberview road.
Guests upon arrival will be shown where to park by a parking sign pointing towards the field,
other guests who have special needs will be allowed to park closer to the venue near the pool. Guests
will be monitored upon arrival so as to make sure they park in the appropriate areas. The parking lot
currently consist of grass and may be changed in the future to a material that would support the needs
of vehicles parking. Event staff will be parking behind the gymnasium (chapel) so as to have easy access
to set up future events held there. Restrooms provided by the venue will include luxury trailers outside
for weddings that take place there, weddings within the home and or the chapel have bathrooms to
accommodate the guests.
Weddings at the venue may take place in the open field near the parking lot in tents, the front
of the house and back of the house near the pool and finally in the wedding chapel (when constructed).
All weddings will be help to the rules and regulations of the county and will not infringe on the
neighbors in any capacity. Weddings outside will be monitored with decibel readers that fall in line with
the counties regulations and music will be shut off by 10pm. Our facility will meet the requirements of
Roanoke County so that each event held at the venue will be safe and go smoothly.

SEC. 30-34. - AR AGRICULTURAL/RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
Sec. 30-34-1. - Purpose.
These areas are generally characterized by very low density residential and institutional uses
mixed with smaller parcels that have historically contained agricultural uses, forest land and open
space outside the urban service area. These areas provide an opportunity for rural living in
convenient proximity to urban services and employment. Agricultural uses should be encouraged
to be maintained. Over time, however, these areas are expected to become increasingly
residential in character, with residential development becoming the dominant use over
agricultural and more rural type uses. The purpose of this district, consistent with the Rural
Village land use category in the comprehensive plan, is to maintain these areas essentially in their
rural state, consistent with the level of services anticipated by the county. These areas are
generally suitable for low density residential development and other compatible land uses.
(Ord. No. 62795-10, 6-27-95; Ord. No. 042799-11, § 1f., 4-27-99; Ord. No. 042208-16, § 1, 4-22-08)

Rural Preserve: A future land use area of mostly undeveloped, outlying lands. These rural
regions are generally stable and require a high degree of protection to preserve agricultural,
forestal, recreational, and remote rural residential areas.
Land Use Types: Agricultural Production - The production of crops, plants, vines, trees,
livestock, poultry and eggs.
Agricultural Services - Services that support agricultural production such
as soil and crop preparation, veterinary services and landscape and
horticultural care.
Forest and Wood Products - Tree farms, forest nurseries and reforestation
services.
Parks and Outdoor Recreation Facilities - Large regional parks and other
recreation facilities that are designed to preserve environmentally sensitive
lands and protect them from more intense land uses.
Rural Residential - Single-family residential generally averaging a gross
density of one unit per three acres. Cluster developments are encouraged.
Rural Institutional - Limited intensity uses such as religious assembly
facilities and clubs serving the local rural population base.
Mining and Extraction Operations - Those uses that locate according to
the availability of natural resources. There are strict limitations on these
industries in the Rural Preserve designation due to potentially harmful
effects on housing, farming and resource protection and conservation
areas.
Land Use Determinants: EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN - Locations where agricultural,
recreational, and forestal uses are predominant and are encouraged
to expand.
EXISTING ZONING - Locations where agricultural zoning is in
effect.
RURAL RESIDENTIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL AREAS -
Locations where limited, very low density residential and
institutional uses are allowed.
RESOURCE PROTECTION - Locations where valuable and
irreplaceable resources such as open space, public water supply
impoundments, rivers, streams, lakes, productive agricultural land,
woodlands, critical slopes, ridgelines, historical and archeological
sites and unique natural areas exist.
ACCESS - Locations that are accessible by existing improved or
unimproved rural roads and, to a lesser extent, rural arterial
highways.
RURAL SECTOR - Locations outside the urban service area.
Transition: A future land use area that encourages the orderly development of highway frontage
parcels. Transition areas generally serve as developed buffers between highways and nearby or
adjacent lower intensity development. Intense retail and highway oriented commercial uses are
discouraged in transition areas, which are more suitable for office, institutional and small-scale,
coordinated retail uses.
Land Use Types: Office and Institutional - Planned office parks and independent facilities in
park-like surroundings are encouraged. A high degree of architectural
design and environmentally sensitive site design is encouraged.
Retail - Small-scale planned and clustered retail uses.
Multifamily Residential - Garden apartments at a density of 12 to 24 units
per acre.
Single-Family Attached Residential - Planned townhouse communities of
6 or more units per acre.
Parks - Public and private recreational facilities. These facilities should be
linked to residential areas by greenways, bike and pedestrian trails.
Land Use Determinants: EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN - Locations where limited
commercial uses exist.
EXISTING ZONING - Locations where commercial zoning exists.
ACCESS - Locations where properties have direct frontage and
access to an arterial or major collector street.
SURROUNDING LAND USE - Locations which serve as a logical
buffer strip between conflicting land use patterns.
ORIENTATION - Locations which are physically oriented toward
the major street.
URBAN SECTOR - Locations served by urban services.
