COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance accepting and appropriating proceeds from the
sale of the Poage's Mill property in the amount of $845,465
SUBMITTED BY: Laurie Gearheart
Director of Finance and Management Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Appropriation of proceeds from the sale of the Poage's Mill property
BACKGROUND:
The Poage's Mill property was purchased in fiscal year 2007 -2008 using Major Capital
Funds. On September 10, 2024, Roanoke County Public Schools (RCPS) settled the
sale of the Poage's Mill property.
DISCUSSION:
The RCPS received proceeds of $845,465 by wire payment. This revenue was not in
their current budget and therefore requires approval by ordinance from the Roanoke
County Board of Supervisors.
At their October 17, 2024 meeting, the Roanoke County School Board held a public
hearing per Code of Virginia 22.1-129 and then approved the following:
1. An appropriation of $845,465 for undesignated special projects in their Major
Capital Fund
2. A request to the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors to appropriate
$845,465 to the facilities category per Code of Virginia 22.1 -115
FISCAL IMPACT:
Page 2 of 2
The RCPS budget category for facilities per Code of Virginia 22.1 -115 will increase by
$845,465 to be used for their special projects.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and scheduling the
second reading for December 17, 2024.

M. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE AND PUBLIC HEARING
Action No. 102224-11 Item M. 1
1. The petition of Dale Wilkinson to rezone approximately 21.39 acres of land zoned
I-1, Low Intensity Industrial District, to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family
Residential District, in order to develop a 225-lot residential subdivision, located
at 7812 Sanderson Drive, Hollins Magisterial District. (Megan Cronise, Assistant
Director of Planning) (Second Reading and Public Hearing)
Page 7 of 8
Supervisor North found that the proposed rezoning request:
1. Is inconsistent with the future land use designation of “Principal Industrial”
included in the County’s adopted comprehensive plan, but the proposed
residential use is in line with adjacent properties currently zoned for
residential use and will assist with the current need for available housing
in Roanoke County.
2. Is good zoning practice, and
3. Will not result in substantial detriment to the community.
Therefore, moved that the Board of Supervisors approve the rezoning request as it
has been requested, including the following four proffered conditions:
1. The property shall be developed in general conformance with the concept
plan showing a maximum of 147 lots entitled "Beahm Property Botetourt
County, VA Rezoning Concept" prepared by Engineering Concepts, Inc.,
dated 9/24/24, subject to any changes required during the comprehensive site
plan review process.
2. The residential dwelling units shall be constructed in general conformance to
the elevation examples for townhomes and detached homes provided by the
applicant as part of the rezoning application titled "Townhome Example
Elevations" dated 9/24/24.
3. A road shall be constructed to connect to the road/public right-of-way in
Stonegate Phase 3 as shown on the concept plan entitled “Beahm Property
Botetourt County, VA Rezoning Concept” prepared by Engineering Concepts,
Inc., dated 9/24/24. Construction of this road shall begin upon the issuance
of the 110th building permit for the lots in the development.
4. Right-of-way along Sanderson Drive shall be dedicated to the Roanoke
County Board of Supervisors as shown on the concept plan entitled
"Sanderson Drive and Shadwell Drive Left Turn Lane" prepared by Roanoke
County Department of Planning, dated 7/9/24 for intersection improvements
at Sanderson Drive and Shadwell Drive. The right-of-way dedication shall
take place upon execution of the subdivision plat.
Supervisor Radford seconded the motion. Motion approved.

BACKGROUND:
Page 2 of 3
In Roanoke County, ongoing administrative costs have increased to more than $8,000,
annually, while generating an average annual revenue of just $43,000 (as calculated
over the past 3 years).
Additionally, over time, Roanoke County has seen annual license issuance decrease
from approximately 5,500 to just 2,500 licenses. This corresponds with a 2016
statewide study which concluded that only 60% of animal owners comply with the
licensure requirement.
Roanoke County also has a corresponding cat license requirement, which maintains the
same pricing points as for dogs. It is estimated that compliance by cat owners is less
than 20%. Most individual cat owners assert that their pet is an indoor pet and that they
therefore do not perceive a need to either inoculate the cat against rabies or comply
with the licensing requirement.
In 2017, the General Assembly enacted legislation (now codified as Section 3.2 -6528 of
the Code of Virginia) authorizing localities to issue lifetime dog license for individual
dogs and cats. (Please note, this process will have no impact on the issuance of
licenses to dog kennels or for dogs adjudicated to be “dangerous dogs”).
DISCUSSION:
There are perceived benefits to the imposition of lifetime licenses. By converting to a
lifetime license, an animal is licensed just one time, reducing the administrative burden
of county staff. Additionally, citizens will not be inconvenienced by making multiple trips
to the Treasurer’s office and paying and annual fees. Such lifetime licenses will still,
however, maintain the integrity of the licensing process and rabies control.
While administrative costs have continued to rise, the state has not increased the
original maximum fee allowed for annual licenses (still allowing localities to charge only
$10.00). When establishing the lifetime license provision, the state set a maximum fee
of $50.00. However, research has shown that the imposition of higher license prices
have been counterproductive to the goal of increased inoculations and licensing
compliance. The goal of the program is to maintain proper control and spread of rabies
with responsible pet ownership, with minimum government oversight; the main purpose
of this program is not revenue generation.
Based upon the adoption of lifetime licenses by other localities and a review of
surrounding localities’ licensing requirements, the Roanoke County Treasurer
recommends that the Board amend the County Code to provide for lifetime dog and cat
licenses, and to impose corresponding fee amounts of $20.00 for lifetime dog licenses,
and $15.00 for lifetime cat licenses.
Animal control enforcement would not be affected by a conversion to a lifetime license,
and the burden would be on individual pet owners to maintain current inoculations on
Page 3 of 3
their pets for the health and welfare of their animals and the public at large.
There have been no changes since the first reading held on October 22, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated that if the proposed ordinance amendments are adopted, there will be
an increase in revenue over the next several years (as more pet owners purchase
lifetime licenses), but that revenues will eventually decrease.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the ordinance.

We feel our house fully comp lys with Sec. 30-41-1. The average house in our neighborhood. The house is IOcated 2 housed off ofPlantatlon Or and abOut 3 miles from exit 146 on 1-81. we have been and would like to continue to use our home as a rental but In this case as a shOrt term rental. Our rental Is very safe for the guests and the neighbors. we have 3 security camefas outside to record any unusual behavior. As we have done for he past 8 years we will continue to maintain the Inside and outside of the house In an exefl1)1ary way. We provide outside lawn service regular ly and since cleaning Is done at checkouts there is alWays someone monitoring the situation and making sure everything Is the way it 's supposed to be. Since we don, live on the property we have twoproperty managers that are alWays avallable to attend to the guests, if needed. We have plurTilers, electricians and handyman available as wen to help with any problems that might arise. In summary we Intend to provide the highest degree of protection I n order to maintain the heatth, safety, appearance and overall quality or me or the neighborhood. We average about 3weeks out of the month renting the hOuse.
..
Please explain how the project conforms to the general guidelines and policies contained in the Roanoke County Community

1) The electrie, connivance of access, congestion In the pub lic streets, put>llc safety, utilities, pub lie services will not be affected since Itcreates no more traffic than a normal slngle family home. 2) We will continue to facilitate the creation of a convenient, attractive and harmonious comm1.111ty since the yard and house aremaintained regularly.3) I feel shOrt term rentals are necessary and contribute to the comrruntty by providing reasonable prices for famllles to come and visitRoanoke.
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.
I don't feel that this will impact the neighbors since I've been doing this since 2016 and have had no problems or compl aints. In fact, since there are people there less days than a normal family (about 3 weeks out of the month) there Is less of am lmp l act on the publicutilities and services. Since no !amity lives there permanently there's no one using the school systme. I keep a strict 'No Party• policy with penalties and a negative review ll not followed. They are to clean up alter themselves Inside and outside maintaining the property in good condltiOn. They are to park In the driveway or In front of the house (which IS common on our street) but are instructed to not park In front or any then neighbors house. We have the yard maintenanced regularly and the hOuse stays in excellent repair. I evenhave a neighbor that notifies me of any potential problems. Below IS an example of the reviews l'Ve received. I also maintain a 4.91 star out of 5 rating. Attached are some pictures, as well, of the inside of the hOuse. A rough floor plan of main floor and basement are attached. Each floor is approximately 900-1000 square feet. Also attached Is the house rules that are posted when they book and are again sent to them when they check In. 3 '

CONCEPT PLAN CHECKLIST
A concept plan of the proposed project must be submitted with the application. The concept plan shall graphically depict the
land use change, development or variance that is to be considered. Further, the plan shall address any potential land use or
design issues arising from the request. In such cases involving rezonings, the applicant may proffer conditions to limit the
future use and development of the property and by so doing, correct any deficiencies that may not be manageable by County
permitting regulations.
The concept plan should not be confused with the site plan or plot plan that is required prior to the issuance of a building
permit. Site plan and building permit procedures ensure compliance with State and County development regulations and may
require changes to the initial concept plan. Unless limiting conditions are proffered and accepted in a rezoning or imposed
on a special use permit or variance, the concept plan may be altered to the extent permitted by the zoning district and other
regulations.
A concept plan is required with all rezoning, special use permit, waiver, community plan (15.2-2232) review and variance
applications. The plan should be prepared by a professional site planner. The level of detail may vary, depending on the
nature of the request. The County Planning Division staff may exempt some of the items or suggest the addition of extra
items, but the following are considered minimum:

NOTICE TO APPLICANTS FOR REZONING, SUBDIVISION WAIVER, PUBLIC
STREET WAIVER, OR SPECIAL USE PERMIT PETITION
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE
The Roanoke County Planning Commission reserves the right to continue a Rezoning, Subdivision Waiver,
Public Street Waiver or Special Use Permit petition if new or additional information is presented at the
public hearing. If it is the opinion of the majority of the Planning Commissioners present at the scheduled
public hearing that sufficient time was not available for planning staff and/or an outside referral agency to
adequately evaluate and provide written comments and suggestions on the new or additional information
prior to the scheduled public hearing then the Planning Commission may vote to continue the petition. This
continuance shall allow sufficient time for all necessary reviewing parties to evaluate the new or additional
information and provide written comments and suggestions to be included in a written memorandum by
planning staff to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission shall consult with planning staff to
determine if a continuance may be warranted.
POTENTIAL OF NEED FOR TRAFFIC ANALYSES AND/OR TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
The Roanoke County Planning Commission reserves the right to continue a Rezoning, Subdivision Waiver,
Public Street Waiver, or Special Use Permit petition if the County Traffic Engineer or staff from the Virginia
Department of Transportation requests further traffic analyses and/or a traffic impact study that would be
beneficial in making a land use decision (Note: a list of potential land uses and situations that would
necessitate further study is provided as part of this application package).
This continuance shall allow sufficient time for all necessary reviewing parties to evaluate the required
traffic analyses and/or traffic impact study and to provide written comments and/or suggestions to the
planning staff and the Planning Commission. If a continuance is warranted, the applicant will be notified
of the continuance and the newly scheduled public hearing date.

ISSUE:
Second reading of an ordinance to amend the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance in
order to regulate tobacco, nicotine, and/or hemp product retail sale locations
BACKGROUND:
• During this past legislative session, the General Assembly passed a bill that
allows localities to regulate the retail sale of tobacco, nicotine, and/or hemp
product retail sale locations within 1,000 feet of schools and day care centers.
•
• The new law states as follows: Any locality may by ordinance regulate the retail
sale locations of tobacco products, nicotine vapor products, alternative nicotine
products, as such terms are defined in § 18.2-371.2, or hemp products intended
for smoking, as such term is defined in § 3.2-4112, for any such retail sale
location and may prohibit a retail sale location on property within 1,000 linear feet
of a child day center as defined in § 22.1-289.02 or a public, private, or parochial
school. An ordinance adopted pursuant to this section shall not affect (i) a
licensee holding a valid license under § 4.1-206.3 or (ii) any retail sale location of
tobacco products, nicotine vapor products, alternative nicotine products, or hemp
products intended for smoking operating before July 1, 2024. Virginia Code §
Page 2 of 3
15.2-912.4. Section 4.1-206.3 of the Code of Virginia pertains to the granting
of retail licenses for the sale of alcohol; accordingly, any retail business
that possesses such a license will be exempt from the provisions of any
such ordinance adopted by the Board.
•
• After the General Assembly passed this law, representatives of Roanoke County
Public Schools requested that the Board of Supervisors consider regulating retail
sales of these products in Roanoke County.
• On June 11, 2024, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution directing the
Planning Commission to study and provide a recommendation regarding whether
to amend the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance to regulate the retail sale of
these products as allowed under the new law.
DISCUSSION:
Staff reviewed draft amendments and maps with the Planning Commission at its
meeting on August 6, 2024. The proposed amendments would add a use and design
standard for the retail sales, convenience stores, fuel centers, and gasoline stations
prohibiting the sale of tobacco products, vapor products, alternative nicotine products,
or hemp products intended for smoking on properties located within 1,000 feet of a
principal school building.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 3, 2024. One citizen
spoke during the public hearing regarding his concerns on the proposed amendments
impacting him locating a cigar/pipe tobacco store in West Village Shopping Center near
North Cross private school. The Commission continued the public hearing until its
meeting on October 1, 2024, due to recommended changes to the Zoning Ordinance
amendments recommended by staff that were not advertised.
At the Planning Commission's meeting on October 1, 2024, six (6) people representing
Roanoke County Public Schools spoke during the public hearing in support of the
proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Additional letters of support were also
submitted for the public record. The Planning Commission discussed the benefits and
challenges with the proposed ordinance amendments. The Planning Commission
recommended that the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance be amended in order to
regulate the sales of nicotine vapor products, alternate nicotine products, and hemp
products intended for smoking on properties within 1,000 feet of the principal school
building of public Roanoke County middle and high schools pursuant to the authority
granted by Virginia Code § 15.2-912.4. The Planning Commission did not recommend
changes to the regulation of the retail sale location of tobacco products.
