2026 Real Estate Assessment
Board of Supervisors Meeting
December 16, 2025
1
Background
•Roanoke County appraises all properties annually
•Assessments are effective on January 1 each year
•Reassessment notices will be mailed to property owners the first week of
January
•Code of Virginia §58.1-3201 requires that real estate assessments be at
100% of fair market value
•Real Estate appraisal staff are responsible for identifying, locating, and
estimating the value of all properties within the County for tax purposes

Background (continued)
•Citizens who buy and sell real estate in the open market establish values
by how much they are willing to offer/accept for individual properties
•County real estate assessors evaluate these transactions and value
properties equitably with similar surrounding properties
•Differences exist between individual properties and between
neighborhoods across the County
•Real estate values have increased significantly at the local, regional, and
national levels due to limited supply

home values.
- Personal Property Taxes were $1,703,132 above budget due to increases in
assessed personal property values as well as a continued strong used car
market.
- Sales Taxes were below target by $886,942 due to inflationary impacts along
with plateaued consumer spending.
- Business License Taxes met target at $30,924 above budget due to increased
sales and higher gross receipts.
- Meals Tax met target at $38,577 above budget due to consistent consumer
spending combined with inflationary impacts on higher meal prices.
- Hotel/Motel Tax was $251,977 above budget due to inflationary impacts along
with increased business travel and regional events.
Expenditure savings were recognized as a result of:
- Personnel and benefit costs were under budget by $297,674 due to slightly
higher-than-expected vacancy savings from turnover in existing budgeted
positions.
- Operating expenses were under budget by $136,843, but the County again saw
increased costs for fuel, utilities, contracted repairs, and vehicle maintenance.
- Transfers and other expenditures were below budget by $108,707 due to a lower
required transfer for economic development incentives.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budget Ordinance 052824-3.a for the fiscal year 2024-2025 fiscal year Operations

Required Communication with Those Charged with Governance
Honorable Members of the Board of Supervisors
County of Roanoke, Virginia
Roanoke, Virginia
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the aggregate discretely
presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
County of Roanoke, Virginia collectively hereafter referred to as the “County” for the year ended June 30,
2025. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities
under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance,
as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have
communicated such information in our letter to you dated April 16, 2025. Professional standards also
require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the County are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. As described
in Notes 8 and 19 to the financial statements, the County adopted a new accounting standard for 2025:
GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. We noted no transactions entered into by the County
during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions
have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions
about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance
to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
The useful lives of capital assets and the allowance for uncollectible accounts are based on
management’s knowledge and judgment, which is based on history.
The other post-employment benefits liability is based on an actuarial study provided by the
County’s external actuarial firm.
The self-insurance liability is based on information from an external third-party consultant and
subsequent claims information provided by the insurance carrier.
The net pension liability and the net OPEB liability for state administered plans are based on an
actuarial study performed by an actuary engaged by the Virginia Retirement System.
We evaluated the methods, assumptions, and data used to develop these estimates in determining that
it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
2
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statement users. The most sensitive disclosure(s) affecting the financial statements include those related
to:
Capital assets, long-term debt, commitments and contingencies, pension, and other post-
employment liabilities.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the
audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of
management. There were no corrected or uncorrected misstatements.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the
course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated November 26, 2025, a copy of which is attached.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application
of an accounting principle to the governmental unit’s financial statements or a determination of the type
of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the
consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our
knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the County’s auditors. However, these
3
discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a
condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the management’s discussion and analysis, the General Fund
budget to actual schedules, and the required pension and OPEB schedules which are required
supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures
consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing
the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did
not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the additional budget to actual statements, the combining statements of
internal service and custodial fund financial statements, the financial statements of the discretely
presented component units, and the schedule of expenditure of federal awards, which accompany the
financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain
inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to
determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information
is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and
reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the
financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory or statistical sections, which accompany the financial
statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on it.
Restriction on Use
This information is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Supervisors and
management of Roanoke County, Virginia and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone
other than these specified parties.

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING FUNDING FOR REPAIRS
AND STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BLUE
RIDGE PARKWAY FOUNDATION STRATEGIC PLAN
“BLUE RIDGE RISING” ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE
PARKWAY IN NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA
Doug Blount
Deputy County Administrator
APPROVED BY:
ISSUE:
BACKGROUND:
the region’s gateway communities, and establish a unified regional voice.
Page 2 of 3
Blue Ridge Rising will establish a collective regional vision that celebrates our shared
culture, protects our unique natural resources, and strengthens the regional economy.
Blue Ridge Rising is made possible in part by two grants from the U.S. Economic
Development Administration to the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation.
Initiative components of Blue Ridge Rising includes creating a regional action plan
based on community input to address issues like improving broadband and trail
infrastructure, protecting viewsheds, and developing the tourism workforce. The
initiative includes regional summits, community outreach, and specific projects funded
by grants to implement the action plan.
Blue Ridge Rising supports 29 counties and seeks to create a unified voice for these
gateway communities to foster economic growth and enhance the overall visitor
experience on the Parkway.
DISCUSSION:
The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation has requested a resolution of support for their
Strategic Plan “Blue Ridge Rising”. Staff have met with representatives of the Blue
Ridge Parkway to discuss Roanoke County’s involvement with Explore Park and how
important the Blue Ridge Parkway is to the success of the park. In addition, Roanoke
County has communicated the importance of promoting the Roanoke Region along the
Blue Ridge Parkway and the need for coordination and support of Explore Park and
hosting large regional events such as races along the Blue Ridge Parkway that connect
to the Roanoke Region.
Twenty of the twenty-nine counties along the Blue Ridge Parkway, including seven of
the twelve here in Virginia, have passed a resolution supporting the implementation of
the Blue Ridge Rising Strategic Plan and the repair of the Blue Ridge Parkway following
Helene's devastation. This will ensure that priority projects will benefit every community
along the parkway through our collaborative efforts.
Currently, the Blue Ridge Foundation is funding projects at Mabry Mill to restore the
attraction. Mabry Mill's roof replacement project was completed in August 2025, and the
mill has reopened. The project involved a four-month, historically accurate restoration of
the roof with hand-riven white oak shakes. Future plans include additional repairs inside
the mill and clearing the pond on the property. There is also an initiative to recruit a
concessionaire in the restaurant.
On April 24, 2025, the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) awarded the Blue
Ridge Parkway Foundation (Foundation) a three-year grant of $5.13 million for this
Page 3 of 3
purpose. This Appalachian Regional Initiative for Stronger Economies (ARISE) grant
covers 22 of the 29 counties bordering the Parkway, including all 17 Blue Ridge Rising
counties in North Carolina and 5 of the 12 Virginia counties. While the ARC grant does
not cover all 29 counties, some actions will create an umbrella design or template that
can be used to implement actions in non-ARC counties with other funds. In total, the
Blue Ridge Rising Action Plan is a $12 million initiative covering all 29 counties.
The Foundation continues to seek state funding from both North Carolina and Virginia,
as well as grant funding from other sources, to meet the ARISE grant's match
requirement and support those counties not eligible for ARC funds. Blue Ridge Parkway
Foundation is not asking individual counties for funds.
The resolution of support specifically outlines Roanoke County’s request of support for
marketing the Roanoke Region along the Parkway, coordinating support for Roanoke
region events such as races, keeping the Blue Ridge Parkway open during Illuminights
at Explore Park, and supporting the repair of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Blue
Ridge Parkway Foundation's Strategic Plan- "Blue Ridge Rising".

There is no fiscal impact associated with this resolution.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY AND
THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VINTON
TO SUPPORT THE VINTON/EAST COUNTY HOTEL PROJECT
This SECOND AMENDMENT TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
(“Second Amendment”) is entered into between the Board of Supervisors the County of
Roanoke, Virginia (the “County”) and the Town Council of the Town of Vinton (the “Town”)
to provide support for the Vinton/East County Hotel Project.
WHEREAS, the County and the Town previously entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (“MOU”) to support the Vinton/East County Hotel Project in August 2021;
and
WHEREAS, the MOU provided, inter alia, that the County would, for a period of
three years, annually pay to the Town up to $150,000 from net new taxes (including real
property taxes; personal property taxes; and sales taxes) generated by the Vinton/East
County Hotel Project as identified in the MOU; and
WHEREAS, the County and Town intended for the first payment from the County
to the Town for net new taxes generated by the Vinton/East County Hotel Project to be
made in January 2024 and the last payment to be made in January 2026; and
WHEREAS, in the First Amendment to the MOU, executed in 2022, the County
and Town amended the MOU to delay the County’s first annual payment of net new
taxes until January 2025, which would have delayed the County’s final annual payment
of net new taxes until January 2027; and
WHEREAS, delays in completion of the project necessitate further amendments
to the MOU; and
{00454460.DOCX } Page 2 of 4
WHEREAS, the County and Town again desire to further amend the MOU.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the mutual
benefits, promises, and understandings of the County and Town contained herein and
in the MOU, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the County and Town covenant and agree as follows:
1. The MOU is amended to reflect that The McDevitt Company is no longer the
developer of the Vinton/East County Hotel Project. The developer is KARA
Roanoke, LLC. The Town and County acknowledge and agree that the
performance agreement executed among the Town, the Economic
Development Authority of Roanoke County, Virginia, and KARA Roanoke,
LLC satisfies the performance agreement requirement contained in paragraph
1 of the Terms section of the MOU.
2. The MOU is amended to reflect that: (A) the 0.295 acre parcel formerly known
as Roanoke County Tax Map No. 060.15-06-44.00-0000, located at 525
South Pollard Street, Vinton, VA 24179, is added to the Hotel Parcels
identified in the MOU, and (B) the seven parcels that comprise the Hotel
Parcels have been consolidated, along with vacated rights-of-way over a
portion of the former First Street and the 15’ Alley extending in a westerly
direction from the vacated portion of First Street, to form a single 1.88 +/- acre
parcel identified as Roanoke County Tax Map No. 060.15-06-44.00-0000,
located at 525 South Pollard Street, Vinton, VA 24179.
3. Paragraph 1 of the Terms section of the MOU is amended to state that the
County agrees to annually reimburse the Town all net new taxes (including
{00454460.DOCX } Page 3 of 4
real property taxes, personal property taxes, and sales taxes) generated by
the Vinton/ East County Hotel project during the preceding year. Net new
taxes shall be any taxes received in excess of any taxes received from the
Hotel Parcels, whether considered individually or in their current consolidated
state, for the tax year preceding the year in which the certificate of occupancy
for the Hotel is issued. The County will make payments under this section
over a maximum period of five (5) years, and total payments will not exceed
$500,000.
4. Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Terms section of the MOU are deleted; the County
will not make a payment in the initial year of development for any building
fees paid by the developer.
5. Paragraph 4 of the Terms section is amended to state that payments will
commence during January of the year after the hotel receives its certificate of
occupancy.
2. The Effective Date and Termination section of the MOU is amended to
provide that the MOU, as amended, shall remain in effect until the final annual payment
is made.
3. The remainder of the MOU is unaffected by this Second Amendment, and
the MOU shall remain in full force and effect, binding upon the parties, as amended
herein.
This Second Amendment is executed by the duly authorized County Administrator
on behalf of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Roanoke, pursuant to Resolution
{00454460.DOCX } Page 4 of 4
No. ___________, adopted by the Board of Supervisors on the 16th day of December

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2025
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5 (ANIMALS AND FOWL) OF THE
ROANOKE COUNTY CODE
WHEREAS, Roanoke County police officers responsible for animal control were
originally anticipated to also be involved with community service and thus were given the
title of community service officers; and
WHEREAS, over the last few years, animal control issues and responsibilities have
taken up all the time of currently assigned community services officers; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department is planning on creating a unit exclusively
dedicated to community problem solving; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department would like to change the name of the
“community services officers” to “animal control police officers” to more accurately reflect
their duties and to deconflict the community services title for future use; and
WHEREAS, the first reading of this ordinance was held on November 18, 2025,
and the second reading was held on December 16, 2025.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors as follows:
1. That Chapter 5 (Animals and Fowl) of the Roanoke County Code is hereby
amended as follows (sections not set forth below shall remain without amendment):
Chapter 5 ANIMALS AND FOWL1
ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL
Sec. 5-1. Animal control officer generally.
(a) There is hereby created the position of community service animal control police officers for the county. Such
officers shall be appointed by the chief of police.
(b) The community service animal control police officers are sworn police officers who shall enforce the
provisions of this chapter relating to dogs and other domestic animals, all other ordinances of the county,
the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and perform such other duties as prescribed by the chief of police.
(c) Such number of community service animal control police officers as are authorized by the board of
supervisors shall be appointed by the chief of police.
(d) The community service animal control police officers shall be deemed to be the county's animal control
officer, within the meaning of section 3.1-796.104 3.2-6555 of the Code of Virginia.
(Code 1971, § 5-4; Ord. No. 121796-12.a, § 1, 12-17-96; Ord. No. 120506-2, § 1, 12-5-06)
* * *
Sec. 5-23. Dogs and cats deemed personal property; rights relating thereto.
(a) All dogs and cats in this county shall be deemed personal property and may be the subject of larceny and
malicious or unlawful trespass and the owners thereof may maintain any action for the killing of any such
dogs or cats, or injury thereto, or unlawful detention or use thereof, as in the case of other personal
property. The owner of any dog or cat which is injured or killed contrary to the provisions of this article by
any person shall be entitled to recover the value thereof or the damage done thereto in an appropriate
action at law from such person.
(b) The community service animal control police officers or other officer finding a stolen dog or cat or a dog or
cat held or detained contrary to law shall have authority to seize and hold such dog or cat pending action
before a general district court or other court. If no such action is instituted within seven (7) days, such officer
shall deliver the dog or cat to its owner. The presence of a dog or cat on the premises of a person other than
its legal owner shall raise no presumption of theft against the owner of such premises, and the community
service animal control police officers may take such dog or cat in charge and notify its legal owner to remove
him. The legal owner of the dog or cat shall pay the normal boarding fee established by section 5-29 for the
keep of such dog or cat while in the possession of the community service animal control police officers or
other authorized agent of the county.
(Code 1971, § 5-6; Ord. No. 41294-7, § 1, 4-12-94; Ord. No. 121796-12.a, § 1, 12-17-96)

for local animal control ordinances, Code of Virginia, § 3.1-796.94. 3.2-6543.
Sec. 5-26.1. Dangerous dogs; vicious dog; penalties; procedures.
(a) Dangerous dog. It shall be unlawful and a class 1 misdemeanor to own, keep, harbor, act as custodian of or
permit to remain on or about any premises any dog that the owner knew or reasonably should have known
to be a dangerous dog, as defined by section 5-21, except in strict compliance with section 5-26.3 of this
Code. If any dog previously declared to be a dangerous dog bites a human being or attacks a human being
causing bodily injury, such owner shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
(b) Vicious dog. It shall be unlawful and a class 1 misdemeanor to own, keep, harbor, act as custodian of or
permit to remain on or about any premises any dog that the owner knew or reasonably should have known
to be a vicious dog, as defined by section 5-21. If, after hearing evidence, the court finds any dog to be a
vicious dog, the court shall, in addition to any other penalties imposed, order the community service animal
control police officer to euthanize the dog.
(c) Procedures.
(1) Any community service animal control police and/or police officer who has reason to believe that a
canine or canine crossbreed within the county is a dangerous dog or vicious dog shall apply to a
magistrate within the county for the issuance of a summons requiring the owner or custodian, if
known, to appear before the county general district court at a specified time. The summons shall
advise the owner or custodian of the nature of the proceeding and the matters at issue. When a
summons issued pursuant to this section, the community service animal control police officer and/or
police officer may, in his discretion, confine the dog until such time as evidence shall be heard and a
verdict rendered. Otherwise, the owner or custodian shall confine the dog until the evidence shall be

of GASB Statement 45 which required the School System to recognize the cost of retiree health
benefits in the year when the employee services are rendered. Participation in a trust allowed the
School System to utilize more favorable actuarial terms in determining the overall liability for the
future benefit.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2025

Roanoke County to rezone approximately 36.501 acres from
PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to R-3,
Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District, to
construct townhouses located at 2111, 2112, 2121 and 2351

SUBMITTED BY: Philip Thompson
Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Agenda item for public hearing and second reading of an ordinance to rezone 36.501
acres from industrial to medium density multi-family residential to construct townhomes.
BACKGROUND:
• The Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County is petitioning to rezone
approximately 36.501 acres of land zoned PTD, Planned Technology
Development District, to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District, to
construct 175 townhomes.
• The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a townhouse as “a grouping of
three (3) or more attached single-family dwellings in a row in which each unit has
its own front and rear access to the outside, no unit is located over another unit,
and each unit is separated from any other unit by one (1) or more common
walls.”
• Townhomes are permitted by-right in R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family
Residential District.

DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this petition on December 2, 2025.
Six (6) citizens spoke during the public hearing. Most of the speakers were opposed to
the proposed road connection to Muse Drive but one citizen was supportive of the
proposed road connection. Additional issues or concerns raised included: height of
townhouses and potential sight lines into existing properties; increased buffers needed
between townhouses and existing homes; impacts to public safety due to more housing;
road connection should be located elsewhere; increased noise levels and noise during
construction; impacts to wetlands; increased taxes as a result of the new development;
would like to see fencing between townhouses and existing homes; increased traffic;
and the need to conduct a speed study on Hardy Road to reduce speed limit.
The Planning Commission discussed: the history of the Vinton Business Center;
constraints on these properties for industrial development (wetlands, power line, size
and shape of lots, etc.); need for housing diversity in the County; proposed development
will generate less traffic than industrial uses; distance of Vinton Business Center from
Interstate 81; potential speed study parameters; wetlands; height of townhouses; noise;
traffic improvements have already been made at Vinton Business Center; surrounding
land use; and the future land use designation.
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the rezoning request from PTD to
R-3 as presented.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the second reading of an
ordinance rezoning approximately 36.501 acres from PTD, Planned Technology
Development District, to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District, with the
following proffered condition:
. The properties shall be developed in general conformance with the concept plan
entitled "Vinton Business Center, Residential Concept Plan" prepared by Balzer
and Associates, dated December 4, 2025, subject to any changes required
during the comprehensive site plan review process.

Proffered Conditions: None
The Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County is petitioning to rezone approximately 36.501 acres of land zoned PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District, to construct townhouses located at 2111, 2112 and 2121 Cardinal Park Drive and 2351 Hardy Road, Vinton Magisterial District. The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the future land use designation of this area as Principal Industrial. Principal Industrial is a future land use area where a variety of industry types are encouraged to locate. Principal Industrial areas are existing and planned regional employment centers and are distributed throughout the county, convenient to major residential areas and suitable highway access. Due to limited availability, areas designated as Principal Industrial are not appropriate for tax-exempt facilities. The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Principal Industrial future land use designation.
1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a townhouse as “a grouping of three (3) or more attached single-family dwellings in a row in which each unit has its own front and rear access to the outside, no unit is located over another unit, and each unit is separated from any other unit by one (1) or more common walls.”
Townhouses are permitted by-right in R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District. All development and use of the property must be in conformance with Section 30-45 (R-3 development standards) of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance. Section 30-82-14 of the Zoning Ordinance provides use and design standards for townhouses (standards attached).
A type A buffer is required wherever property zoned R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District, meets properties zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District. There are two options for a type A buffer: option one is a twenty-foot buffer which must include, for every seventy-five feet of length: one row of three large deciduous trees, one row of twelve-to-fourteen large evergreen shrubs, and one row of sixteen-to-eighteen large deciduous shrubs. Option two is a fifteen-foot buffer which must include, for every seventy-five feet of length: one row of five small deciduous trees, one row of twelve-to-fourteen large evergreen
Administrator in consideration of natural land characteristics such as topography or existing vegetation which achieve the intent of the buffer requirements. If the rezoning is approved, development of the site would require comprehensive site and building plan reviews.
2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Background – In October 1999, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning of 99.38 acres (known as the McDonald Farm) from R-1, Low Density Residential District, to PTD, Planned Technology Development District, for a mixed-use development by the Town of Vinton. The conditions of the rezoning included a 10-page document entitled “Protective Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for the McDonald Farm”, four proffers, and a conceptual Master Plan designed by Mattern & Craig, Inc., dated October 26, 1999. The mixed-use park was a cooperative venture between the Town of Vinton and Roanoke County. In October 2003, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning to amend one of the proffered conditions associated with the original 1999 rezoning petition. The amended proffer removed language dealing with the building materials and roof pitch associated with lots G & H on the Master Plan. In November 2003, Roanoke County approved a subdivision plat of the Vinton Business Center. The plat divided the original tract into 7 parcels (6 lots and a detention lot) with appropriate easements for drainage, utilities, trails, and conservation, as well as the right-of-way for Cardinal Park Drive. In December 2006, Roanoke County and the Town of Vinton revised their agreement on the shared development costs and the shared tax revenue for the Vinton Business Center. The revised agreement made the Town and County equal partners (50-50). In 2011, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning to amend the covenants, conditions, and Master Plan for the Vinton Business Center. The revised Master Plan covered seven (7) properties totaling approximately 97.17 acres. Building footprints, parking spaces, landscaping, trail locations, and buffers have been removed from the original Master Plan. These items are covered on the subdivision plat or by the PTD regulations in the County’s Zoning Ordinance. A conceptual loop road was also included with the original Master Plan. A large wetland area shown on Lot 5 of the new Master Plan restricted the development of this road. A revised set of development guidelines/protective covenants were developed as part of this project. The original guidelines/covenants that were part of the rezoning in 1999 reflected the Town of Vinton responsibility for approval and enforcement of these guidelines/covenants. With the County becoming an equal partner in 2006, the guidelines/covenants were amended to reflect this new arrangement. Additional language and formatting were incorporated into the revised guidelines/covenants from the County’s Center for Research and Technology (CRT) design guidelines. The guidelines/covenants are divided into three articles. Article I includes the purpose, definitions, and permitted uses in the Vinton Business Center. Article II discusses administration and procedures dealing with the subdivision of property, project review, maintenance and enforcement. Article III lists the development and design standards which address site development, buildings (location, height, and design), parking and loading areas, utilities, waste, lighting, accessory structures, outside storage, landscaping, signs, and temporary construction structures and utilities. There were four (4) proffered conditions that were removed by this rezoning. Cardinal Glass was built in 2004 and is the only business located at the Vinton Business Center. The
Topography/Vegetation – The frontage of Lot 1 on Hardy Road is flat and grassy. The remainder of the parcel is relatively flat and mostly wooded with a slope up to a portion in the middle where an existing AEP utility tower is located. There is an AEP utility easement that runs through Lot 1 from the southwest to the northeast that has been cleared of trees. The northern half of the Detention Lot is wooded, and the remainder of the property to the south is grassy and contains a stormwater management facility. Lot 5 contains an existing stream and wetlands. The property is primarily wooded and remains undisturbed. There is an existing structure in extreme disrepair at the northwestern corner of this lot. Lot 6 is wooded along its western property line, the remainder of the property to the east is flat and grassy.
Montgomery Village subdivision is directly to the west and is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District. Beyond Montgomery Village, about a fifth of a mile west of the subject property is the Town of Vinton, this area is zoned R-1, Residential District. Most of the properties to the north are zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, with two (2) parcels zoned C-2, High Intensity Commercial District and a small subdivision zoned R-3C, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District with conditions. There is one property to the east zoned R-1 and the remainder of the property to the east in Roanoke County is zoned AG-3, Agricultural/Rural Preserve District. Approximately a quarter mile to the east of the subject property is Bedford County, this area is zoned R-1, Low-Density Residential District. To the south is primarily property zoned AG-3 and several parcels zoned EP, Explore Park District and PCD, Planned Commercial Development District. The remaining properties to the east and south are zoned AG-3, Agricultural/Rural Preserve. Surrounding land uses to the north include single family residences, churches, and commercial properties. Single family homes and churches are located to the east and west of the Vinton Business Center. The Blue Ridge Parkway property is located to the east and south of the property. Community Outreach – Approximately 506 letters were sent to adjoining property owners and tenants which contained the request, information about the subject parcels, instructions for how to submit comments and contact information for staff. This letter also included the date, time, and location for the planned community meeting, which was held on Wednesday, November 12th at the Charles R Hill Community Center from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Roanoke County Planning staff were in attendance as well as the applicant, the developer, and a representative from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Approximately thirty-seven (37) citizens were in attendance and expressed concerns about property values decreasing, safety, wildlife, noise and light pollution, and the density of the development. There were also concerns about traffic and the citizens voiced their desire for the addition of a traffic light. Citizens also expressed concerns about a connection to the development from Muse Drive, citing that Muse Drive is not suitable for more traffic.
3.ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Site Layout/Architecture – The concept plan submitted with the application shows 175 townhouses. There are 121 townhomes shown on the west side of Cardinal Park Drive and 54 townhomes shown on the east side of Cardinal Park Drive. The application indicates that the townhouses are expected to be either two-story or three-story buildings with square footage expected to range from 1,440 to 2,000 finished square feet. The price points are anticipated to be in the low to upper $300,000s. Each townhouse is expected to have a garage and a driveway. Two elevation examples were submitted by the applicant and are attached. The applicant also submitted two example floor plans for the entry level of the townhouses; these are also attached. The application notes that included amenities in the development may include exterior trails and park areas which are shown on the Concept Plan. There is an existing stream and wetlands located on Lot 5
Access/Traffic Circulation – The subject site is located off of Cardinal Park Drive and Hardy Road which are both public roads owned and maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Two entrances are shown off of Cardinal Park Drive to serve the proposed development. These are shown directly across from each other on the Concept Plan. The Concept Plan also shows a possible connection from the proposed development on the west side of Cardinal Park Drive to Muse Drive to the west in Montgomery Village. Full turn lanes and tapers were installed when Cardinal Park Drive was constructed to serve the Vinton Business Center and will continue to serve the proposed development. For this rezoning proposal, the applicant submitted a traffic narrative comparing the trip generation calculations for the proposed development with the trip generation calculations for several of the uses that would be permitted in the PTD zoning district. This comparison concludes that the proposed residential development would generate a lower volume of traffic than the possible development pattern that would currently be permitted by right in the PTD zoning district. The Virginia Department of Transportation reviewed the submitted traffic
Agencies Comments: The following agencies provided comments on this application: Office of Building Safety – The Office of Building Safety does not have any comments for this request. Roanoke County Transportation – See attached. Fire and Rescue – Fire and Rescue does not object to this project, but it would increase the services we provide with additional fire and emergency medical calls. Access and fire flow requirements would be addressed in the site plan review process. General Services – No comments. VDOT – 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. If any future modifications to existing entrances or installations of new entrances are planned, 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, 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. VDOT will not issue 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. Western Virginia Water Authority – See attached. Stormwater – Approved as to floodplain.
4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the future land use designation of this area as Principal Industrial. Principal Industrial is a future land use area where a variety of industry types are encouraged to locate. Principal Industrial areas are existing and planned regional employment centers and are distributed
availability, areas designated as Principal Industrial are not appropriate for tax-exempt facilities. The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Principal Industrial future land use designation. The future land use designation of this area prior to the adoption of the Roanoke County 200 Plan in 2024 was Transition. 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. Planned townhouse communities of 6 or more units per acre are encouraged in the Transition future land use area. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Transition future land use designation.
5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS
The Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County is petitioning to rezone approximately 36.510 acres of land zoned PTD, Planned Technology Development District to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District to construct townhouses located at 2111, 2112 and 2121 Cardinal Park Drive and 2351 Hardy Road, Vinton Magisterial District. The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Principal Industrial future land use designation as indicated in the Roanoke County 200 Plan. Since R-3 would allow multi-family dwellings, staff would suggest general conformance to the submitted

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:

REZONING NARRATIVE
On behalf of the applicant, The Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County, we are providing
this narrative as supplemental information to support the attached rezoning application. This request is to
rezone Roanoke County Tax Parcels #071.07-03-01.00-0000, 071.07-03-02.00-0000, 071.07-03-03.00-
0000, and 071.07-03-04.00-0000 (the Rezoned Area) from PTD, Planned Technology Development
District, to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District to allow for a new residential
development consisting of a mix of single-family dwellings and townhouses on the property.
Existing Zoning: PTD – Planned Technology Development District
Proposed Zoning: 36.501 acres to be rezoned to R-3 High Density Multi-Family Residential District
60.704 acres to remain PTD (Master Plan to be amended by separate request)
Proposed Use: Townhouses
Property History & Vision
The Vinton Business Center property was originally acquired by the Town of Vinton in 1986. In 1999, the
property was rezoned to PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to allow for the property to be
prepared and marketed for industrial development (Ordinance #102699-7). The County also entered into a
gain sharing agreement with the Town of Vinton. Several proffered conditions were placed on the property
as part of this rezoning action.
In 2003, a second rezoning action was approved to amend the proffered conditions (Ordinance #102803-
14). In 2011, an additional rezoning action was approved that repealed the previous proffered conditions
and adopted an amended Master Plan (Ordinance #062811-10). This Master Plan is entitled “Vinton
Business Center Master Plan,” prepared by Mattern & Craig, Inc., and dated April 8, 2010.
Despite substantial efforts to market this property for industrial development, Cardinal Glass remains as
the only business currently within the Center. The pad sites on Lots 1 and 2 as well as the smaller Lots 5
and 6 have remained undeveloped for the last 20 years. The current plan is to reimagine a portion of this
property as a mixed-use residential development. The proposed rezoning request will allow this property to
realize its potential and meet the needs of the community in 2025. Roanoke County will have the ability to
work with a reputable builder to create a new residential community to help address the current local and
national housing shortage. The proposed residential uses will blend well with the existing residential to the
north and west and provide a transition between these single-family developments and the remaining
industrial development area.
A separate rezoning action is being filed in conjunction with this request to amend the Master Plan for the
property remaining PTD zoning.
Existing Conditions
The Rezoned Area is vacant land in the current condition. The Rezoned Area is bounded to the north by
Hardy Road (Route 634) and existing single-family residential homes. It is bounded on the west by existing
single-family residential homes. The land is bordered to the south by Blue Ridge Parkway property and the
remaining land in the VBC. Cardinal Park Drive bisects the Rezoned Area from north to south and provides
access to the proposed development. There are overhead electrical distribution lines that traverse the
property from southwest to northeast across Lot 1 and the corner of the Detention Lot.
There is an existing stream and wetlands located on Lot 5 and the Detention Lot. It is expected that these
jurisdictional areas will remain undisturbed with the proposed development. The Detention Lot also
includes a stormwater management facility that was installed to serve the existing development.
Concept Plan
A Residential Concept Plan (Exhibit A) is included with this rezoning application. This plan outlines the
proposed development pattern for the Rezoned Area. It is expected that townhomes will be developed on
the Rezoned Area. A total of 175 townhomes are shown on the Concept Plan.
The townhomes will be served internally by private drives. It is expected that each unit will include a garage
and exterior driveway parking space. Additional guest parking areas will be provided throughout the
development as well. Other amenities that may be provided include exterior trails and park areas to serve
the residents of this community.
The proposed townhome buildings are expected to be either two-story or three-story buildings depending
on the topography. Square footage is expected to range from 1,440 to 2,000 finished square feet per unit.
Price points are anticipated to be in the low to upper $300,000s.
The proposed rezoning request will provide for a less intense zoning classification and development pattern
adjacent to the existing residential neighborhoods than the current industrial zoning. Appropriate buffer
yards and landscaping will be provided adjacent to R-1 zoned property as required in the Zoning Ordinance.
Access & Transportation
Vehicular access will primarily be from existing Cardinal Park Drive (Route 2075) via Hardy Road (Route
634). New private access points will be constructed from Cardinal Park Drive to serve the new townhome
development areas. These are shown directly across from each other on the Concept Plan in order to
minimize the number of potential conflict points. The Concept Plan also shows a possible vehicular
connection from the internal development to Muse Drive to the west. This vehicular connection would
provide an additional access point between the existing residential development and the proposed
development if constructed.
Traffic utilizes Hardy Road to access Cardinal Park Drive. Full turn lanes and tapers were installed when
Cardinal Park Drive was constructed to serve the Business Park and will continue to serve the proposed
development. A Traffic Narrative is included with this Application to provide background traffic
information and evaluate traffic impacts of this request.
As part of the included Traffic Narrative, trip generation calculations were provided for the proposed
residential development as well as a reasonable volume of traffic that would be expected if the property
were developed under the current PTD zoning. As shown in the Traffic Narrative, the proposed residential
development will generate significantly less traffic than would be expected with by-right PTD development.
Therefore, this request is expected to result in less traffic impact than what is expected with the current
Master Plan and the existing roadway infrastructure will be sufficient to serve the new development. VDOT
has reviewed the traffic narrative and concurs with the conclusions.
Public Services
This project will be served by public water and sanitary sewer utilities owned and maintained by the
Western Virginia Water Authority (WVWA). According to WVWA GIS, there is an existing 8” public
sanitary sewer main located along Cardinal Park Drive that the development will connect to. Based on
WVWA GIS, there is an existing 8” public water main located along Cardinal Park Drive that the
development will utilize for domestic water and fire protection needs.
Stormwater Management
There is an existing above-ground detention pond located on the Detention Lot. This detention pond was
installed with the development of Cardinal Glass and grading of Lot 2. It is expected that the new
development will provide stand-alone stormwater management facilities.
The project will be designed in accordance with all local and state stormwater management requirements,
including quantity and quality requirements.
Comprehensive Development Plan
Roanoke County’s Comprehensive Plan currently identifies the Future Land Use of this property as
Principal Industrial. However, it should also be noted that the future land use for this property was recently
updated from Transition to Principal Industrial in 2024. Residential uses, such as those that are proposed
with this request, are an important component of Transition land use areas. In addition, the property has
been targeted for industrial development since 1999 with very little activity. Cardinal Glass developed in
the park in 2004, and the other parcels have remained vacant. The market has demonstrated that a new
vision is needed, which further supports the request to rezone a portion of the park as a residential
development.
The proposed residential zoning designation will allow this property that has remained vacant for many
years to finally realize its potential. The proposed residential development will expand and diversify an
existing residential area of Roanoke County and will provide additional customer base for the existing
businesses located in and around the Hardy Road corridor.
The proposed rezoning request will further the goals of the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan by
allowing for development of a vacant property in an appropriate location of the County. The proposed mix
of residential uses will provide additional housing options in an important area of the County, which is of
utmost importance due to the current shortage of housing. This property is also located within the
Bonsack/Vinton Planning Area. The proposed request is consistent with many of the goals and initiatives
of the Comprehensive Plan and of the Bonsack/Vinton Planning Area:
• Encourage a diverse housing stock meeting the demands of current and future residents.
• Protect steep slope areas. The proposed development preserves the steep slopes closest to the
existing creek and to the Blue Ridge Parkway land to the south.
• Remove outdated proffer conditions on certain properties to promote redevelopment and expedite
the development process.
• Encourage the provision of open space and park facilities with new development. Open space areas
to be preserved along the existing creek/wetlands area and adjacent to Blue Ridge Parkway
property.
• Expand housing options. The proposed townhome units will provide additional options to a
currently underserved area of the market.
The location of this site will also help to further the Economic Development initiatives of Roanoke County
by adding to the customer base that supports businesses on and around the Hardy Road corridor. The
proposed project reacts to the changing market conditions from the original development efforts that began
in the 1990s.
Summary
In summary, we respectfully request approval of this rezoning request. This project is consistent with the
goals and initiatives of Roanoke County and will address a need for additional housing options in the
Roanoke Valley. This request will allow for vacant property to be developed with an active residential use

Attn: Philip Thompson, Director
RE: Vinton Business Center – Traffic Narrative
B&A, Inc. Job #R0070888.00
Mr. Thompson,
The purpose of this narrative is to provide background traffic information and address potential traffic impacts
related to the proposed rezoning request for a portion of the Vinton Business Center (VBC) property located on
Cardinal Park Drive (Route 2080) in the County of Roanoke. Cardinal Park Drive accesses from Hardy Road
(Route 634) just west of the Roanoke County/Bedford County line.
The property is currently part of the Vinton Business Center industrial park. The VBC was originally rezoned
to PTD, Planned Technology District on October 26, 1999. An additional rezoning was completed on June 28,
2011 to amend the PTD requirements, including an update to the Master Plan. The property is currently
governed by the “Vinton Business Center Master Plan,” dated April 8, 2010 and prepared by Mattern & Craig,
Inc. as well as the “Vinton Business Center Development Guidelines and Protective Covenants,” recorded at
the Roanoke County Courthouse under Instrument #201107207. As outlined in these documents, currently
permitted uses on this property include the following:
a. General manufacturing, processing or assembly operations where processes, fabrication, and products
are environmentally clean and efficient.
b. Commercial, office or industrial flex space (office/warehouse combination).
c. Science, research and technology businesses, services, or laboratories where processes are
environmentally clean and efficient.
d. Business services incidental to any of the foregoing.
e. Accessory uses associated with a principal permitted use in accordance with any established County
standards.
Since the creation of the industrial park, only one of the industrial parcels has been developed. Roanoke County
Tax Parcel 071.11-01-01.01-0000 is owned and operated by Cardinal Glass. The other parcels within the park
are vacant. Due to this property’s ideal location, as well as the increasing shortage of residential housing, this
park has been identified as an opportunity for residential development.
This rezoning request is to rezone approximately 36 acres of land from PTD, Planned Technology District, to
R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District. The parcels that are included in the proposed rezoning
request are Roanoke County Tax Parcels 071.07-03-01.00-0000, 071.07-03-02.00-0000, 071.07-03-03.00-
0000, and 071.07-03-04.00-0000. It should be noted that portions of the property are impacted by wetlands,
slopes, and overhead utility lines, with the developable area totaling approximately 20 acres. The rezoning
request, if approved, will allow for this portion of the property to be developed with single-family attached
(townhome) dwellings.
Access for the proposed development will primarily be from Cardinal Park Drive (Route 2075). A possible
private, internal connection from the townhome development to Muse Drive is shown on the proposed
Development Plan. Full right and left turn lanes are available on Hardy Road to serve vehicles turning into the
development. Cardinal Park Drive currently consists of two exiting lanes to facilitate right and left turning
vehicles leaving the development.
Trip generation calculations were performed to provide a comparison between current by-right development
and the proposed residential development. As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the proposed residential uses are
expected to generate a significantly lower overall volume of traffic than could be generated by by-right uses on
the property. In addition, the types of traffic being generated will be much less intense with the proposed
residential development not expected to generate any large truck traffic.

Table 2: Site-Generated Trips (Possible development pattern under current PTD zoning)
As shown in the tables, the proposed rezoning is expected to result in a lower volume of traffic in and out of
Cardinal Park Drive. Full right and left turn lanes are in place along Hardy Road and will adequately serve this
development. No additional study is warranted or recommended as a result of the current request.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

SEC. 30-45. - R-3 MEDIUM DENSITY MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
Sec. 30-45-1. - Purpose.
The purpose of the R-3, medium density multi-family residential district is to provide areas in the
county within the urban service area where existing middle-high density residential development
(six (6) to twelve (12) units per acre) has been established and land areas which generally appear
to be appropriate for such development. This district is intended to coincide with the
development and transition land use categories contained in the comprehensive plan. They are
designated based on access to major streets, sewer and water, and schools with suitable capacity
to accommodate development at the stated density, and where parcel sizes allow for well-
planned residential development. The areas designated in this district are also intended to serve
as a buffer between less intensive residential areas and more intensive office, commercial and
industrial areas and districts. A variety of housing densities and styles is encouraged in order to
permit a diversity and flexibility in design and layout. Additional standards are established to
provide for amenities in higher density developments.

Sec. 30-82-14. - Townhouses.
Intent. It is the intent of this section that townhouses be allowed in areas where they are or may
be appropriately intermingled with other compatible types of housing. The purpose of the
following design standards is to ensure the efficient, economical, comfortable and convenient use
of land and open space and serve the public purposes of zoning by providing an alternative to
conventional arrangements of yards and buildable areas.
General standards:
All townhouse developments shall be served by public sewer and water.
The facades of townhouses in a group shall be varied by changed front yards and variations in
design so that no more than four (4) abutting townhouses will have the same front yard
setback and the same or essentially the same architectural treatment of facades and roof
lines.
The minimum separation between townhouse buildings shall be twenty (20) feet.
The height of all townhouses shall be limited to forty-five (45) feet. Accessory buildings shall
not exceed fifteen (15) feet.
Accessory structures for townhouse units shall be permitted only in rear yard areas and shall
be no larger than ten (10) feet by ten (10) feet in area.
Only one yard, either the front yard or the rear yard, or in the case of an end unit, the side
yard, shall be improved with a driveway or other impermeable surface intended for the
storage of motor vehicles or for access to a garage, or other parking areas.
The maximum building and lot coverage requirements applying to townhouses shall be
computed for the site of the entire development.
Public street frontage shall not be required for any proposed lot of record platted for
townhouse development within R-3 and R-4 districts. In the AV and R-2 districts, the applicant
shall designate as part of the special use permit application, the location of any lot that is not
proposed to front on a public street.
If utilized, private roads shall be constructed in accordance with the private road standards
specified in the Roanoke County Design Handbook.
Additional standards in the AV district:
Maximum gross density: Eight (8) townhouse units per acre.
Minimum parcel size: Twenty thousand (20,000) square feet for the first dwelling unit, plus
five thousand four hundred forty-five (5,445) square feet for each additional unit.
Front yard setbacks for each group of townhouse units: an average of fifteen (15) feet, and
not be less than ten (10) feet for any individual townhouse unit. No common parking area,
common driveway or street right-of-way shall be permitted within the required front yard

Appendices
A future land use area where a variety of industry types are encouraged to locate. Principal Industrial
areas are existing and planned regional employment centers and are distributed throughout the county, convenient to major residential areas and suitable highway access. Due to limited availability, areas designated as Principal Industrial are not appropriate for tax-exempt facilities.
Land Use Types
Agricultural - Industries which involve the manufacturing, storage, marketing and wholesaling of agricultural
products. These industries may also be located outside of the Principal Industrial areas, within the rural designations, where agricultural skills may be found.
Small Industries and Custom Manufacturing - These industries typically serve a local market and may involve
the on-site production of goods by hand manufacturing.
Mining and Extraction - These facilities locate according to the availability of natural resources.
Industrial - Conventional freestanding industrial uses, warehouses, wholesalers, storage yards.
Industrial Parks - Large tracts of land that are subdivided, developed and designed according to a unified plan. These parks are employment centers and may include mixed land uses including supporting retail
services. These types of industries are encouraged to develop in Principal Industrial areas. Planned industrial parks should incorporate greenways, bike and pedestrian paths into their designs and link these features to
surrounding neighborhoods where appropriate.
Land Use Determinants
Existing Land Use Pattern - Locations where industry has historically developed.
Existing Zoning - Locations zoned industrial.
Economic Opportunity Areas - Locations identified by Roanoke County as an economic opportunity area.
Employment Centers - Locations where labor-intensive industries exist.
Topography - Locations that can be developed in an environmentally sensitive manner and that are outside of the designated floodplain.
Resource Protection - Locations that can be developed in such a way as not to threaten valuable natural resources.
Water And Sewer Service and Supply - Locations where water and sewer service exist or can be provided in the near future.
Access - Locations served by an adequate public street system that does not direct traffic through existing
residential neighborhoods.
Transportation Centers - Locations within close proximity to rail, airport and major street systems.
Urban Sector - Locations served by, or in close proximity to urban services.
PRINCIPAL INDUSTRIAL
Appendices
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.

Dear Members of the Planning Commission,
I hope you are well. I am writing to respectfully request your consideration for adding a
second entrance to our neighborhood, which currently contains approximately 250 homes.With only one access point, our community faces increasing safety and traffic concerns that
warrant immediate attention.
A single entrance creates significant risk during emergencies. Should the primary access beblocked by an accident, maintenance work, or a natural event, emergency responders would
have limited or no ability to reach residents in need. Likewise, families attempting to evacuateor access essential services could be delayed or completely prevented from leaving the area. A
second entrance would provide a critical alternate route to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of everyone in our community.
Additionally, traffic congestion has grown as our neighborhood continues to fill with families,
service vehicles, delivery drivers, and school transportation. The backup at peak hours hasbecome increasingly disruptive and creates unnecessary wear on the roadway. A secondary
entrance would help distribute traffic flow more evenly, reduce bottlenecking, and improve theoverall quality of life for residents.
I appreciate the Commission’s commitment to thoughtful, long-term planning and hope you
will consider the serious safety and accessibility challenges created by a single access point. Asecondary entrance is not just a convenience—it is an essential infrastructure improvement
that safeguards families, supports emergency services, and aligns with responsible communitydevelopment.
Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter. I apologize I cannot be there
in person to speak; however, this email should suffice as just as important point of view.
Sincerely,
Amber Reed

Ms. Camerlinck - I am writing in regards to the rezoning request by the Economic
Development Authority of Roanoke County that will be heard by the Planning Commissiontonight.
I am specifically asking that consideration be given to a visual impact study to assess the
impacts on the adjoining National Park - the Blue Ridge Parkway. I think it’s appropriate toask the applicant to analyze visual impacts particularly since the Parkway is a valuable asset to
the Roanoke Valley and an important economic driver to both the county and the entireregion.
Visual impacts of this rezoning will be determined by placement of these 175 townhomes so I
would also respectfully request that the layout of homes included in the application beproffered. As currently shown they would potentially have less visual impact than elsewhere
on the property, but without a proffered site plan the location could be revised.
I appreciate you considering my request and sharing it with the Planning Commission.

have said for years that the County is not good at getting businesses in business parks. Look at Green
Ridge. Vinton. Even Dixie Caverns. I was in many of those meetings with neighbors and Elmer Hodge and
could tell you stories. The County’s definition of hi-tech is not the same as citizens.
I couldn’t figure out what staff person is handling this. Thus I resort to you.
My comment is visual impact on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The County spent years trying to reduce our
visual impact on the Parkway. Thus I would request that a visual analysis be done, screening, etc so that
the County is not degrading the Parkway scenery. It is hard for me to imagine that you could put this many
units within the Parkway view shed without their being seen.
Please forward as a comment to PC or staff person in charge of it.

Skylar, I am forwarding the ridiculous email that I received from Brian Blevins withVDOT regarding my request to reduce the speed limit on Hardy Road from the Town ofVinton line to beyond the Parkway Bridge at the Bedford County line from 45 mph to 35mph. Between this email and a Montgomery Village Neighborhood meeting, Mr. Blevinsbasically said that there weren't enough accidents resulting in injuries on the stretch ofroad requested. I notice in the VDOT info in your packet that is also excluded the fatalaccident that occured sometime in the 2015-2018 time frame.
The 4-lane part of Hardy Road within the Town of Vinton is 35. Once Hardy Roadcrosses the Roanoke County line, the speed limits increases to 45 mph. Between the Townof Vinton line and the Bedford County line, there are 6 subdivisions with Crofton andMontgomery Village (approx 375 homes in MV), 6-7 businesses, 4 churches and anindustrial park. The traffic coming from SML has no stops between 122 - Hardy Road @Bypass; so nothing halts traffic to/from and is an issue in the mornings and evenings.

Ms. Gish-Toney,
VDOT's local traffic engineering section has completed their speed and safety study of therequested roadway. We do not recommend changing the posted speed limit at this time. Please see their response below outlining our findings.
Traffic Engineering has reviewed the request to establish a posted speed limit on Route634 (Hardy Road) between the Town of Vinton line and Bedford County line in Roanoke
County. This segment was previously studied by Traffic Engineering in 2015 that resultedin a signed and sealed speed study that retained the existing 45 MPH speed limit. In 2018,this segment was analyzed again for a speed reduction based on a similar request. Theexisting 45 MPH speed limit was retained from that review.
Operating speed data was collected at two (2) locations under sunny conditions for 24hours using automatic data recorders with pneumatic road tube inputs on 12/12/2023. Thespeed data was collected approximately 0.23 miles east (Counter #1) and approximately0.92 miles east (Counter #2) of the Town of Vinton line. For Counter #1, the 85thpercentile speed was 50.5 MPH. For Counter #2, the 85th percentile speed was 50.1MPH. The traffic counters were placed very close to the same locations that were selectedduring the 2018 review for consistency and comparison purposes. VDOT uses
85th percentile operating speed to determine the most appropriate legal posted speed limitand to verify compliance. The data from the two counters reveal good compliance withthe posted speed limit.
A three-year crash history analysis was conducted from 10/01/2020 through 09/30/2023for the requested study segment. The crash search revealed thirty-one (31) crashes, ofwhich thirteen (13) resulted in injuries and eighteen (18) resulted in property damageonly. The most recent districtwide crash data for secondary roadways (2020) was used forcomparisons. The crash rate is above the districtwide average for secondary roadways butthe crash types did not appear to impacted by the posted speed.
Traffic Engineering is recommending retaining the existing 45 MPH speed limit for thissection of Route 634 (Hardy Road). The reasons for this recommendation include:
• The collected speed data shows good compliance with the existing 45 MPH speed limit.
• The roadway characteristics support the existing 45 MPH speed limit.
• The surrounding land use has minimally changed since Traffic Engineering’s last reviewof the speed limit in 2018 and since the last signed and sealed speed study was finalized in2015.
A general safety study was also performed while reviewing the route in the field. TheSTOP bar on Feather Road will be refreshed as weather allows. We are alsorecommending additional advance point of turn route signs prior to the Feather Roadintersection along Hardy Road.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any additional questions.

Subject: Speed Limit Reduction on Hardy Road in Roanoke County Between The Town of
Vinton and Bedford County Lines
To Ken King or To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Martha Gish-Toney, and I am the coordinator for the Montgomery VillageNeighborhood program.
I am requesting that the speed limit be reduced from 45 to 35 from the RoanokeCounty/Town of Vinton line to the Roanoke County/Bedford County line, a stretch of roadthat is approximately one mile in length.
The road in that particular stretch goes from four lanes (current 35 mph speed limit) downto two lanes and it serves 2 rather large communities - Montgomery Village (approx 360homes) and Crofton (200 homes maybe?). Three other communities, Deer Ridge,Greenway Landing and homes located on Wolf Creek Drive are also impacted
The residents of these communities have a difficult time getting into and out of these
communities with the current 45 mph speed limit on Hardy Road, due to the amount of
traffic.
It is also difficult to see oncoming traffic from the east during certain sun angles during themornings in November and December.
There is a history of accidents at the entrances to both of these communities, as well asthe intersection of Hardy at Feather Road, most recently two in the last month or soaround 7:30 am.
There are also issues with snow/ice removal on the steep hills both at Finney Drive /HardyRoad and McGeorge Drive/Hardy Road. I feel comfortable adding Deer Ridge Lane/HardyRoad to the list, too.
Lastly, there are also numerous car/deer collisions in this same stretch of road.
This stretch of road is NOT maintained by the Town of Vinton, as it is outside the townlimits. VDOT managed this stretch of road.
I have heard that the Vinton fire department is also in favor of the speed reduction due tothe number of accident that have occurred at the entrances to Montgomery Village andCrofton and the Feather/Hardy Road intersection.
A few years ago there was a fatal accident on the road, too. (late 2015-early 2016timeframe). At least one person, maybe 2 were killed in that accident.
Please advise what we need to do to see about obtaining this speed limit reduction. I amcopying Officer Greg Benton, who is the Roanoke County Neighborhood Watch/CrimePrevention Coordinator.
Thank you for your assistance.

I am requesting that the speed limit be reduced from 45 to 35 from the Roanoke
County/Town of Vinton line to the Roanoke County/Bedford County line, a stretch ofroad that is approximately one mile in length.
The road in that particular stretch goes from four lanes (current 35 mph speed limit)down to two lanes and it serves 2 rather large communities - Montgomery Village(approx 360 homes) and Crofton (200 homes maybe?). Three other communities, DeerRidge, Greenway Landing and homes located on Wolf Creek Drive are also impacted
The residents of these communities have a difficult time getting into and out of thesecommunities with the current 45 mph speed limit on Hardy Road, due to the amount oftraffic.
It is also difficult to see oncoming traffic from the east during certain sun angles duringthe mornings in November and December.
There is a history of accidents at the entrances to both of these communities, as well as
the intersection of Hardy at Feather Road.
There are also issues with snow/ice removal on the steep hills both at Finney Drive/Hardy Road and McGeorge Drive/Hardy Road. I feel comfortable adding Deer RidgeLane/Hardy Road to the list, too.
Lastly, there are also numerous car/deer collisions in this same stretch of road.
There has been a recent speed study on that stretch, which may be a mile long, but Idon't have the results.
I have heard that the Vinton fire department is also in favor of the speed reduction due
to the number of accident that have occurred at the entrances to Montgomery Village
and Crofton and the Feather/Hardy Road intersection.
A few years ago there was a fatal accident on the road, too. (late 2015-early 2016timeframe). At least one person, maybe 2 were killed in that accident.
Please advise what we need to do to see about obtaining this speed limit reduction. Iam copying Officer Thurmond Butts, who is the Roanoke County NeighborhoodWatch/Crime Prevention Coordinator and Sgt. Spencer Hooped who is the SpecialOperations Division/ Traffic Enforcement Unit.
Thank you for your assistance.
Respectfully,
Martha Gish-Toney

Subject:[EXTERNAL] - Proposed Zoning Change for Cardinal Glass for Townhouses
Date:Wednesday, December 3, 2025 8:40:53 PM
Hello Ms. Camerlink.
I was supposed to speak at the planning commission meeting last night. I was not able to make
it because I had an eye exam earlier in the day and they dilated my eyes, which made driving abit too dangerous. With that said, I wish to share my input to the decision about rezoning the
Cardinal Glass property for townhouses.
I have lived in Montgomery village since moving to the area in 1988. I am very familiar withtraffic patterns and dangers unique to the intersection of Finney Drive and Hardy Road. I am
against this project unless Hardy Road is either widened to 4 lanes or traffic lights are installedat the intersection of Hardy Road and Finney Drive.
At present, during peak driving hours, there are frequent car accidents which usually result in
at least one car going into the ditch and numerous injuries. This is largely because of thevolume of traffic at peak periods and speeds in front of Montgomery Village. My
understanding is that traffic studies related to the proposed zoning change only considered thenumber of vehicles on Hardy Road and did not look at any accident data. Adding new
residential areas to an already dangerous and congested area would only increase the danger.
I'd be happy to discuss this further if you have any questions. My telephone number is 540-521-4507.
Sincerely,
-- Bob Schmucker1842 Pembrook DriveVinton, VA 24179

with the following one (1) proffer:
1. The properties shall be developed in general conformance with the concept plan
entitled "Vinton Business Center, Residential Concept Plan" prepared by Balzer
and Associates, dated December 4, 2025, subject to any changes required during
the comprehensive site plan review process.

I find that the proposed rezoning request:
1. Is inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the County’s adopted comprehensive

2. Is not good zoning practice, and/or
3. Will result in substantial detriment to the community.

STAFF REPORT Petitioners: Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County and Cardinal IG Company
Request: To rezone approximately 60.704 acres of land zoned PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to amend the Master Plan for the Vinton Business Center Location: Tax Parcels:
2131 and 2132 Cardinal Park Drive and 2411 Hardy Road #071.11-01-01.00-0000, 071.11-01-01.01-0000, and 071.11-01-01.02-0000
Proffered Conditions: None
The Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County and Cardinal IG Company are petitioning to rezone approximately 60.704 acres of land zoned PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to amend the Master Plan for the Vinton Business Center, located at 2131 and 2132 Cardinal Park Drive and 2411 Hardy Road, Vinton Magisterial District. The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the future land use designation of this area as Principal Industrial. Principal Industrial is a future land use area where a variety of industry types are encouraged to locate. Principal Industrial areas are existing and planned regional employment centers and are distributed throughout the county, convenient to major residential areas and suitable highway access. Due to limited availability, areas designated as Principal Industrial are not appropriate for tax-exempt facilities. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Principal Industrial future land use designation.
1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Section 30-63 of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance provides the district regulations for properties zoned PTD, Planned Technology Development District. (standards attached) The development guidelines and protective covenants also currently apply to any development in the Vinton Business Center. The revised Master Plan titled “Vinton Business Center Amended Master Plan” prepared by Balzer and Associates lists zoning requirements that would apply to any future development if the rezoning is approved. If the rezoning is approved, development of the site would require comprehensive site and building plan reviews.
2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Background – In October 1999, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning of 99.38 acres (known as the McDonald Farm) from R-1, Low Density Residential District, to PTD, Planned Technology Development District, for a mixed-use development by the Town of Vinton. The conditions of the rezoning included a 10-page document entitled “Protective Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for
October 26, 1999. The mixed-use park was a cooperative venture between the Town of Vinton and Roanoke County. In October 2003, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning to amend one of the proffered conditions associated with the original 1999 rezoning petition. The amended proffer removed language dealing with the building materials and roof pitch associated with lots G & H on the Master Plan. In November 2003, Roanoke County approved a subdivision plat of the Vinton Business Center. The plat divided the original tract into 7 parcels (6 lots and a detention lot) with appropriate easements for drainage, utilities, trails, and conservation, as well as the right-of-way for Cardinal Park Drive. In December 2006, Roanoke County and the Town of Vinton revised their agreement on the shared development costs and the shared tax revenue for the Vinton Business Center. The revised agreement made the Town and County equal partners (50-50). In 2011, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning to amend the covenants, conditions, and Master Plan for the Vinton Business Center. The revised Master Plan covered seven (7) properties totaling approximately 97.17 acres. Building footprints, parking spaces, landscaping, trail locations, and buffers have been removed from the original Master Plan. These items are covered on the subdivision plat or by the PTD regulations in the County’s Zoning Ordinance. A conceptual loop road was also included with the original Master Plan. A large wetland area shown on Lot 5 of the new Master Plan restricted the development of this road. A revised set of development guidelines/protective covenants were developed as part of this project. The original guidelines/covenants that were part of the rezoning in 1999 reflected the Town of Vinton responsibility for approval and enforcement of these guidelines/covenants. With the County becoming an equal partner in 2006, the guidelines/covenants were amended to reflect this new arrangement. Additional language and formatting were incorporated into the revised guidelines/covenants from the County’s Center for Research and Technology (CRT) design guidelines. The guidelines/covenants are divided into three articles. Article I includes the purpose, definitions, and permitted uses in the Vinton Business Center. Article II discusses administration and procedures dealing with the subdivision of property, project review, maintenance and enforcement. Article III lists the development and design standards which address site development, buildings (location, height, and design), parking and loading areas, utilities, waste, lighting, accessory structures, outside storage, landscaping, signs, and temporary construction structures and utilities. There were four (4) proffered conditions that were removed by this rezoning. Cardinal Glass was built in 2004 and is the only business located at the Vinton Business Center. The remainder of the Vinton Business Center has remained undeveloped.
change as it was previously graded to be ready for development. The portion of lot 2 closest to the southern property line is wooded. Lot 3 contains Cardinal Glass and is primarily flat and paved, there is a slope up to the wooded area behind Cardinal Glass at the southern property line. Lot 4 is primarily wooded with a large, grassy field in the southeast corner of the lot. There is an elevation change of about 60 feet from the lowest point of the property at the southwest corner, to the highest points of the property along the northern property line.
Montgomery Village subdivision is directly to the west and is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District. Beyond Montgomery Village, about a fifth of a mile west of the subject property is the Town of Vinton, this
Residential, with two (2) parcels zoned C-2, High Intensity Commercial District and a small subdivision zoned R-3C, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District with conditions. There is one property to the east zoned R-1 and the remainder of the property to the east in Roanoke County is zoned AG-3, Agricultural/Rural Preserve District. Approximately a quarter mile to the east of the subject property is Bedford County, this area is zoned R-1, Low-Density Residential District. To the south is primarily property zoned AG-3 and several parcels zoned EP, Explore Park District and PCD, Planned Commercial Development District. The remaining properties to the east and south are zoned AG-3, Agricultural/Rural Preserve. Surrounding land uses to the north include single family residences, churches, and commercial properties. Single family homes and churches are located to the east and west of the Vinton Business Center. The Blue Ridge Parkway property is located to the east and south of the property. Community Outreach – Approximately 506 letters were sent to adjoining property owners and tenants which contained the request, information about the subject parcels, instructions for how to submit comments and contact information for staff. This letter also included the date, time, and location for the planned community meeting, which was held on Wednesday, November 12th at the Charles R Hill Community Center from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Roanoke County Planning staff and Economic Development staff were in attendance as well as the applicant and a representative from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Approximately thirty-seven (37) citizens were in attendance. The concerns expressed by citizens at this meeting were mostly related to the request to rezone approximately 36.510 acres of land zoned PTD, Planned Technology Development District to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District to construct townhouses. This is a separate petition. Citizens expressed concerns about traffic issues that exist in the area with the current level of development.
3.ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Site Layout/Architecture – The revised Master Plan shows the three (3) properties (lots 2,3, and 4) totaling approximately 60.704 acres. It shows lots 1,5,6, and the detention lot being removed from the Master Plan. The Master Plan reflects the existing development, and lots as shown on the subdivision plat. Access to the lots is shown from Cardinal Park Drive, which is a state-maintained road. The Master Plan lists the development regulations for future development on the three parcels. These regulations include permitted uses, setbacks, buffer yards, lot coverage, parking, structure height, lighting, utilities, trash and outdoor storage, and signage. Access/Traffic Circulation – The subject site is located off of Cardinal Park Drive and Hardy Road which are both public roads owned and maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). The developed portion of the property (Cardinal Glass) is currently served by one entrance off of Cardinal Park Drive. The applicant indicated that future access to Lot 2 will be from Cardinal Park Drive and future access to Lot 4 could be provided through the Cardinal Glass property or by a separate entrance on Hardy Road. If a separate access point is proposed, this would be subject to VDOT approval and would need to meet all VDOT requirements. Existing traffic entering the Vinton Business Center utilizes Hardy Road to access
Agencies Comments: The following agencies provided comments on this application: Office of Building Safety – The Office of Building Safety does not have any comments for this request.
Action Plan identified the intersection of Hardy Road and Feather Road as one of ten high crash intersections in Roanoke County. One of the proposed recommendations to reduce crashes and to improve safety was to consider installing a roundabout at the intersection of both roadways (see attached) which could also provide additional access to this property. Please consider including a reference to the adopted Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and the potential roundabout in the Amended PTD Master Plan. Fire and Rescue – Fire and Rescue does not object to this project, but it would increase the services we provide with additional fire and emergency medical calls. Access and fire flow requirements would be addressed in the site plan review process. VDOT – We have reviewed the above-mentioned rezoning request. It appears from the information provided that updates to the Master Plan for this property will not adversely impact the VDOT right-of-way. Any future expansions or redevelopment of the parcel or alteration to the existing drive may require VDOT review, approval, and permitting. Stormwater – Approved as to Flood Plain. General Services – No comments.
4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the future land use designation of this area as Principal Industrial. Principal Industrial is a future land use area where a variety of industry types are encouraged to locate. Principal Industrial areas are existing and planned regional employment centers and are distributed throughout the county, convenient to major residential areas and suitable highway access. Due to limited availability, areas designated as Principal Industrial are not appropriate for tax-exempt facilities. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Principal Industrial future land use designation.
5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS
The Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County and Cardinal IG Company are petitioning to rezone approximately 60.704 acres of land zoned PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to amend the Master Plan for the Vinton Business Center, located at 2131 and 2132 Cardinal Park Drive and 2411 Hardy Road, Vinton Magisterial District. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Principal

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:

REZONING NARRATIVE
On behalf of the applicant, The Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County, we are providing
this narrative as supplemental information to support the attached rezoning application. This request is to
amend the existing Master Plan as it pertains to Roanoke County Tax Parcels #071.11-01-01.00-0000,
071.11-01-01.01-0000 and 071.11-01-01.02-0000 (the Rezoned Area) in conjunction with another request
to rezone a portion of the Vinton Business Center industrial park for residential development.
Existing Zoning: PTD – Planned Technology Development District
Proposed Zoning: 60.704 acres to remain PTD (Master Plan to be amended)
36.501 acres to be rezoned to R-3 High Density Multi-Family Residential District
by separate request
Property History & Vision
The Vinton Business Center (VBC) property was originally acquired by the Town of Vinton in 1986. In
1999, the property was rezoned to PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to allow for the
property to be prepared and marketed for industrial development (Ordinance #102699-7). The County also
entered into a gain sharing agreement with the Town of Vinton. Several proffered conditions were placed
on the property as part of this rezoning action.
In 2003, a second rezoning action was approved to amend the proffered conditions (Ordinance #102803-
14). In 2011, an additional rezoning action was approved that repealed the previous proffered conditions
and adopted an amended Master Plan (Ordinance #062811-10). This Master Plan is entitled “Vinton
Business Center Master Plan,” prepared by Mattern & Craig, Inc., and dated April 8, 2010.
Despite substantial efforts to market the overall Vinton Business Center property for industrial
development, Cardinal Glass remains as the only business currently within the Center. The pad sites on
Lots 1 and 2 as well as the smaller Lots 5 and 6 have remained undeveloped for the last 20 years. The
current plan is to remove a portion of this property from the overall business center and develop this land
as a new townhome community. This proposed request to amend the VBC Master Plan will allow the
remaining property to be developed in this way and finally realize its potential to meet the changing needs
of the community in 2025. Roanoke County will have the ability to work with a reputable builder to create
a new residential community to help address the current local and national housing shortage. The proposed
townhomes will blend well with the existing residential to the north and west and provide a transition
between the existing single-family developments and the remaining industrial development area.
Lot 2 (vacant), Lot 3 (Cardinal Glass), and Lot 4 (vacant) will remain part of the Planned Technology
Development District. The preservation of Lots 2 and 4 within the PTD will maintain two available
industrial sites that can still be leveraged to attract new business to Roanoke County. The development of
the remaining property as residential will add new life to this area and hopefully make this site more
attractive to businesses as a location for future investment and development.
A separate rezoning action is being filed in conjunction with this request to rezone 36.501 acres of land
from PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to R-3, High Density Multi-Family Residential
District.
Existing Conditions
The Rezoned Area contains the existing Cardinal Glass development on Lot 3 as well as Lots 2 and 4,
which are currently vacant lots. The Rezoned Area is bounded to the north by Hardy Road (Route 634),
Cardinal Park Drive (Route 2075), and VBC land proposed to be rezoned to R-3. It is bounded on the west
by existing single-family residential property. The land is bordered to the south by Blue Ridge Parkway
property.
There is an existing stream and wetlands located outside of the Rezoned Area just to the north.
Master Plan
An amended Master Plan (Exhibit A) is included with this rezoning application. This plan outlines the
updated development pattern for the Vinton Business Center. The overall development pattern remains
unchanged for the Rezoned Area. Future development will need to meet all applicable requirements in the
Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance.
Access & Transportation
The Master Plan amendment does not impact expected traffic patterns or access locations for the VBC.
Access to the Cardinal Glass property is provided by Cardinal Park Drive (Route 2075). Future access to
Lot 2 will be from Cardinal Park Drive. Future access to Lot 4 could be provided through the Cardinal
Glass property or by separate entrance on Hardy Road. If a separate access point is proposed, this would be
subject to VDOT approval and would need to meet all VDOT requirements for sight distance, turn lanes,
etc.
Existing traffic entering the park utilizes Hardy Road to access Cardinal Park Drive. Full turn lanes and
tapers are in place and no further improvements to this intersection are warranted. A Traffic Narrative is
included with the R-3 Rezoning Application indicating that the residential development represents a
significant reduction in expected vehicle trips at this intersection.
Public Services
The Rezoned Area will be served by public water and sanitary sewer utilities owned and maintained by the
Western Virginia Water Authority (WVWA). Cardinal Glass is currently connected to public water and
sewer. This existing infrastructure could easily be extended to serve Lot 2. According to WVWA GIS, there
is an existing 8” public sewer main and an existing 8” public water main extended across the Cardinal Glass
property to the western property line of Lot 4. Future development of Lot 4 is anticipated to connect to
these, although there are also public utility lines in Hardy Road that could be extended to Lot 4 if needed.
This Master Plan amendment is not expected to have any negative impacts to public schools,
parks/recreation, or fire and rescue.
Stormwater Management
There is an existing above-ground detention pond located on the Detention Lot that serves the existing
Cardinal Glass development. It is anticipated that future development of Lots 2 and 4 will provide stand-
alone stormwater management facilities.
Future development will need to be designed in accordance with all local and state stormwater management
requirements, including quantity and quality requirements.
Comprehensive Development Plan
Roanoke County’s Comprehensive Plan identifies the Future Land Use of this property as Principal
Industrial. The Rezoned Area is, and will remain, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed Master Plan amendment (and separate R-3 rezoning request) will further the goals of the
Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan by allowing for development of vacant property in an appropriate
location of the County. The proposed townhomes will provide additional housing options in an important
area of the County, which is of utmost importance due to the current shortage of housing. This property is
also located within the Bonsack/Vinton Planning Area. The proposed request is consistent with many of
the goals and initiatives of the Comprehensive Plan and of the Bonsack/Vinton Planning Area:
• Encourage a diverse housing stock meeting the demands of current and future residents.
• Protect steep slope areas. The proposed development preserves the steep slopes closest to the
existing creek and to the Blue Ridge Parkway land to the south within the proposed R-3 zoning
area.
• Remove outdated proffer conditions on certain properties to promote redevelopment and expedite
the development process.
• Encourage the provision of open space and park facilities with new development. Open space areas
to be preserved along the existing creek/wetlands area and adjacent to Blue Ridge Parkway
property within the proposed R-3 zoning area.
• Expand housing options. The proposed townhomes will provide additional options to a currently
underserved area of the market.
The location of this site will also further the Economic Development initiatives of Roanoke County by
adding to the customer base that supports businesses on and around the Hardy Road corridor. This will help
attract and retain businesses in this area that will benefit all residents of Roanoke County.
Summary
In summary, we respectfully request approval of this request to amend the Master Plan at the Vinton
Business Center. This request is consistent with the goals and initiatives of Roanoke County and will allow
for additional property within the park to be developed in a way that addresses the need for additional
housing options in the Roanoke Valley. This request will facilitate development of vacant property along
the important Hardy Road corridor, while being sensitive to the surrounding residential, industrial, and
recreational areas.

SEC. 30-63. - PTD PLANNED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
Sec. 30-63-1. - Purpose.
The planned technology development (PTD) district is established primarily for Type I and Type II
manufacturing and industrial uses. Supporting accessory uses and facilities, such as office,
commercial establishments, and residential areas are also permitted. The PTD district is intended
to be designed with a park-like setting that complements surrounding land uses by means of
appropriate siting of buildings, controlled access points, attractive and harmonious architecture,
effective landscape buffering and scenic view easements. The district is intended to provide
flexibility in design and site layout, allow latitude in combining different use types within a single
development, and provide the developer with incentives to create an aesthetically pleasing and
functional planned development.
In addition, the intent of the planned technology development (PTD) district is to provide certain
industries that are clean and environmentally efficient the opportunity to locate in an area of like
technologies in what is generally known as a mixed use park, developed under a complete, comprehensive
master plan. Standards are provided for landscaping, buffering and open space to encourage high
technology industries and to ensure a park-like atmosphere. Important in determining the location and size
of a PTD are the accessibility of the location, the availability of public utilities, public safety services and the
suitability of the topography for site and building development purposes.

The zoning administrator shall determine buffer yard requirements based on the existing or proposed use
in the PTD and the district in which those uses are permitted.
Lot coverage: Maximum lot coverage shall be determined through the preliminary master
plan process and shall not exceed seventy-five (75) percent.
Public streets in the PTD district shall be built in accordance with VDOT and Roanoke County
standards. In reviewing the PTD preliminary master plan, the commission may recommend,
and the board may approve, one (1) or more private streets within the proposed district.
Private residential streets in the PTD district shall be built in accordance with the private road
standards specified in the Roanoke County Design Handbook. Construction details for private
residential streets shall be submitted with the PTD preliminary master plan.
The applicant may propose a reduction to the number of parking spaces required by this
ordinance for each use type, if justified. This proposal will be reviewed with consideration
given to potential future uses of the site, parking demand and expansion potential.
Maximum height of structures: When adjoining property zoned residential, forty-five (45) feet,
including rooftop mechanical equipment. The maximum height may be increased provided
each required yard (side, rear, or buffer) adjoining a residential district is increased two (2)
feet for each foot in height over forty-five (45) feet. This distance shall be measured from the
portion of the structure which exceeds forty-five (45) feet. In all other locations the height is
unlimited.
Arrangement of areas:
The location and arrangement of structures, parking, access drives, outdoor lighting,
signs, and other uses and developments within the PTD, in addition to achieving these
development standards, shall be accomplished in accordance with an approved final
master plan to assure compatibility with the existing and future land use in the vicinity.
All areas designed for future expansion or not intended for immediate improvement or
development shall be specified as reserve areas in the preliminary master plan. The
future use and the limitations on future use of such area shall be specified, or else such
areas shall not be included as part of the PTD application. Reserve areas included in the
PTD shall be landscaped or otherwise maintained in a neat and orderly manner.
Accessory structures shall not exceed forty (40) percent of the gross floor area of the principal
structure.
Every structure in the PTD shall be a fully enclosed building of permanent construction. Any
outside storage area shall be fully screened so that no materials so stored are visible at any
lot line or public right-of-way.
Lighting: Lighting shall comply with section 30-94 of this ordinance.

Sec. 30-63-4. - Site Development Recommendations.
The planned technology development district should be designed and developed as a
manufacturing, industrial and technology park with high standards for landscaping, buffering and
open space. To ensure a park-like atmosphere the following site development recommendations
are made.
The principal entrance into the PTD district should be sufficiently landscaped to comply with
the purposes of this district. In addition, the first one hundred (100) linear feet of street,
leading through this principal entrance into the PTD, should have a landscaped median of
sufficient width and planting density to meet the purposes of this district.
Parking within the PTD should be located to the side or rear of the principal structures on the
lot, wherever feasible. During review, consideration will be given to topographical constraints,
innovative site design, buffering and landscaping factors.
Loading areas should be screened from public view and should not be placed in front yards.
Fences should not be placed in front yards except as necessary for security purposes. Fencing
should be uniform and well kept.

Appendices
A future land use area where a variety of industry types are encouraged to locate. Principal Industrial
areas are existing and planned regional employment centers and are distributed throughout the county, convenient to major residential areas and suitable highway access. Due to limited availability, areas designated as Principal Industrial are not appropriate for tax-exempt facilities.
Land Use Types
Agricultural - Industries which involve the manufacturing, storage, marketing and wholesaling of agricultural
products. These industries may also be located outside of the Principal Industrial areas, within the rural designations, where agricultural skills may be found.
Small Industries and Custom Manufacturing - These industries typically serve a local market and may involve
the on-site production of goods by hand manufacturing.
Mining and Extraction - These facilities locate according to the availability of natural resources.
Industrial - Conventional freestanding industrial uses, warehouses, wholesalers, storage yards.
Industrial Parks - Large tracts of land that are subdivided, developed and designed according to a unified plan. These parks are employment centers and may include mixed land uses including supporting retail
services. These types of industries are encouraged to develop in Principal Industrial areas. Planned industrial parks should incorporate greenways, bike and pedestrian paths into their designs and link these features to
surrounding neighborhoods where appropriate.
Land Use Determinants
Existing Land Use Pattern - Locations where industry has historically developed.
Existing Zoning - Locations zoned industrial.
Economic Opportunity Areas - Locations identified by Roanoke County as an economic opportunity area.
Employment Centers - Locations where labor-intensive industries exist.
Topography - Locations that can be developed in an environmentally sensitive manner and that are outside of the designated floodplain.
Resource Protection - Locations that can be developed in such a way as not to threaten valuable natural resources.
Water And Sewer Service and Supply - Locations where water and sewer service exist or can be provided in the near future.
Access - Locations served by an adequate public street system that does not direct traffic through existing
residential neighborhoods.
Transportation Centers - Locations within close proximity to rail, airport and major street systems.
Urban Sector - Locations served by, or in close proximity to urban services.
