ITEM NO. C.1
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 28, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Recognition of Information Technology staff for protecting
the County of Roanoke from a Cybersecurity Threat
SUBMITTED BY: Uma Marques
Information Technology Director
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
This time has been set aside to recognize Information Technology staff for protecting
the County of Roanoke from a Cybersecurity Threat.
DISCUSSION:
During the first week of October, we received an urgent security advisory from the
Federal Government's Cybersecurity, and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA,
confirming that specific networking equipment were being actively exploited globally. If
compromised, the attackers could connect to our network and cause a Denial-of-
Service Attack that could lead to internet service outage, severely impacting county
operations. Upon receiving this alert, multiple teams within IT came together to assess
our situation, detect any break-ins, prevent future break-ins and protect our network.
Working with our vendor partner, the team first concluded that we were not
compromised. Then they quickly set out to shut down any attempts. After informing the
county of potential outage to our networks for a short time, the team installed a critical
patch to our network and mitigated multiple potential vulnerabilities within hours. We
received external validation for our work, when one of our vendors informed us that they
observed failed attempts to exploit our network, using the specific vulnerability.
I am very proud of the entire team of cybersecurity experts, networking experts and
help desk support experts assembled here today, who worked on what we deem a
"Zero day threat" and ensuring the safety of the county.

approximately 25.3 acres from ARS, Agricultural/Residential
District with special use permit, to I-1, Low Intensity
Industrial District, and to obtain a special use permit to
operate a construction yard located at 3233 Catawba Valley

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 to rezone 25+ acres
from agricultural to industrial and to obtain a special use permit for a construction yard.
BACKGROUND:
• This project includes the following uses: retail sales; general office; and a
construction yard.
• The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines retail sales as "sale or rental
with incidental service of commonly used goods and merchandise for personal or
household use but excludes those classified more specifically by these use type
classifications." This is a commercial use type which is permitted by right in the I-
1, Low Intensity Industrial District.
• General office is defined as "use of a site for business, professional, or
administrative offices, excluding medical offices. Typical uses include real estate,
insurance, management, travel, or other business offices; organization and
association offices; or law, architectural, engineering, accounting or other
professional offices." This is an office use type which is permitted by right in the (-
Page 1 of 4
1, Low Intensity Industrial District.
• Construction yards are defined as "establishments housing facilities of
businesses primarily engaged in construction activities, including outside storage
of materials and equipment. Typical uses are building contractor's yards." This is
an industrial use type which is only permitted in the I-1, Low Intensity Industrial
District, with an approved special use permit.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application on October 7, 2025.
One citizen spoke during the public hearing. He discussed the decline of the property
since it has been vacated, but was confident the applicants would take care of the
property and keep it well maintained. He was not concerned with the uses since they
are limited in scope. His one concern was the storage of chemicals on-site, but
understood that this would be regulated by various agencies.
The Planning Commission discussed: development of the site and proposed uses;
proffered condition; recreational amenities on site; that most of the development is
towards the rear of the property; chemical storage and inspection; the business would
be a positive addition to the County; surrounding zoning and land uses; and the future
land use designation.
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the rezoning from ARS to I-1 CS
with the following proffered condition and recommends approval of the special use
permit for a construction yard:
1. The development of the property shall be in substantial conformance with the
concept plan entitled "WRV Properties, LLC" dated 8/26/2025, prepared by
Balzer and Associates, Inc. subject to those changes required by Roanoke
County during its comprehensive site plan review.
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 rezoning approximately 25.3 acres from ARS, Agricultural/Residential District
with special use permit, to I-1, Low Intensity Industrial District, and to obtain a special
use permit to operate a construction yard with the following proffered condition:

concept plan entitled "WRV Properties, LLC" dated 8/26/2025, prepared by
Balzer and Associates, Inc. subject to those changes required by Roanoke
County during its comprehensive site plan review.
VOTE:
Supervisor Hooker found that the proposed rezoning request:
1. Is not consistent with the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan's future land use
designation of Rural Village, however there are similar outlying industrial
properties in the area near the proposed rezoning,
2. Is good zoning practice, and
3. Will not result in substantial detriment to the community.
Therefore, moved that the Board approve the rezoning request as it has been
requested, with the following one (1) proffer:
1. The development of the property shall be in substantial conformance with the
concept plan entitled "WRV Properties, LLC" dated 8/26/2025, prepared by
Balzer and Associates, Inc. subject to those changes required by Roanoke
County during its comprehensive site plan review.
Supervisor Hooker also found 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. Is not in conformance with the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan's future
land use designation of Rural Village, however the continuation of any club
activities on the property could be in line with the desired land use types in Rural
Village areas, and
3. Will have a minimum adverse impact on the surrounding neighborhood and
community.
Therefore, also moved that the Board approve the petition to obtain a special use permit
to operate a construction yard.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 28, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: The petition of Hamlar Properties, LLC, to rezone
approximately 3.8 acres from AR, Agricultural/Residential
District, to AV, AgriculturalNillage Center District, and obtain
a special use permit to construct a multi-family development
located at 3037 Rutrough Road, 3133 Rutrough Road, and 0
Rutrough Road, Vinton Magisterial District.
SUBMITTED BY: Philip Thompson
Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Second reading and public hearing to rezone approximately 3.8 acres of property from
AR to AV and obtain a special use permit for 24 multi-family dwelling units.
BACKGROUND:
• The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a multi-family dwelling as "a
building or portion thereof which contains three (3) or more dwelling units for
permanent occupancy, regardless of the method of ownership. Included in the
use type would be garden apartments, low and high rise apartments, apartments
for elderly housing and condominiums."
• Multi-family dwellings require a special use permit in the AV, AgriculturalNillage
Center District.
• Section 30-82-11 of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance provides use and
design standards for multi-family dwellings including setbacks, separation
between buildings, open space and recreational areas, vehicular access and turn
around for public service vehicles, buffers and minimum lot size.
Page 1 of 4
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 5, 2025 on a similar petition
by the same applicant. The previous request heard at this public hearing was to rezone
approximately 3.8 acres from AR, Agricultural/Residential District, to R-3, Medium
Density Multi-Family Residential District to construct the same multi-family
development. Seven (7) citizens spoke in opposition at the August 5, 2025 public
hearing. Concerns raised included: current traffic issues on Huffman Lane and Rutrough
Road including a large number of bicyclists and traffic to Explore Park; security related
issues with unknown individuals moving into the neighborhood; sight distance issues;
high density and height of the development; water and sewer issues, and increased
development already occurring in the area. They also emphasized that the proposed
development does not fit within the secluded, quiet neighborhood off Huffman Lane and
they would prefer more single-family homes rather than apartments.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to postpone action on the proposed
petition until its October 7, 2025 meeting to allow the applicant to provide additional
information on traffic and water and sewer availability. Following the public hearing,
planning staff met with the applicant and the Western Virginia Water Authority, and it
was determined that the multi-family development would not be able to connect to
public sewer. This led to the decision of the applicant to revise the petition to request to
rezone to AV, AgriculturalNillage Center District, and to obtain a special use permit for
multi-family dwellings rather than to rezone to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family
Residential District. The use and design standards for multi-family dwellings require the
dwellings to connect to public water and sewer in the R-3 zoning district, this is not a
requirement in the AV zoning district.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the revised request on October 7,
2025. One citizen spoke during the public hearing and had concerns about traffic with
the new development. The Planning Commission discussed the suggested conditions,
buffers, site plan process, septic systems for the project, maximum number of dwelling
units that could be built, the need for housing in the County, surrounding zoning and
land uses, and the future land use designations.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning from AR to AV
and to recommend approval of the special use permit for multi-family dwelling units with
the following conditions:
1. The properties shall be developed in substantial conformance with the concept
plans entitled "Conceptual Site Plan - 3133 Rutrough Road" and "Conceptual Site
Plan - 3037 Rutrough Road" both prepared by Jones & Jones Associates, both
dated August 28, 2025, subject to any changes required during the
comprehensive site plan review process.
Page 2 of 4
2. The buildings shall be constructed in general conformance to the elevation
drawings entitled "Ballyhack Luxury Apartments Hamlar Properties, LLC"
prepared by Jones & Jones Associates, dated June 6, 2025, subject to any
changes required during the building plan review process.
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 rezoning 3.8 acres from AR, Agricultural/Residential District, to AV,
AgriculturalNillage Center District, and approving a special use permit for multi-family
dwellings with the following conditions:
1. The properties shall be developed in substantial conformance with the concept
plans entitled "Conceptual Site Plan - 3133 Rutrough Road" and "Conceptual Site
Plan - 3037 Rutrough Road" both prepared by Jones & Jones Associates, both
dated August 28, 2025, subject to any changes required during the
comprehensive site plan review process.
2. The buildings shall be constructed in general conformance to the elevation
drawings entitled `Ballyhack Luxury Apartments Hamlar Properties, LLC"
prepared by Jones & Jones Associates, dated June 6, 2025, subject to any
changes required during the building plan review process.
VOTE:
Supervisor Shepherd found that the proposed rezoning request:
1. Is partly consistent with the purpose and intent of the County's adopted
comprehensive plan,
2. Is good zoning practice, and
3. Will not result in substantial detriment to the community.
Therefore, moved that the Board approve the rezoning request as it has been
requested.
Supervisor Shepherd also found that the proposed special use permit:
Page 3 of 4
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. Is partly in conformance with the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan, and
3. Will have a minimum adverse impact on the surrounding neighborhood and
community.
Therefore, also moved the Board to approve the petition to obtain a special use permit
with the following two (2) conditions:
1. The properties shall be developed in substantial conformance with the concept
plans entitled "Conceptual Site Plan — 3133 Rutrough Road" and "Conceptual
Site Plan — 3037 Rutrough Road" both prepared by Jones & Jones Associates
