Issue:
Agenda item for public hearing and second reading of an ordinance to remove proffered

Background:
In 1987, the subject property underwent a rezoning from B-1, Office District, to B-3,

A used car dealership was constructed in 1987 in accordance with the proffered
conditions and has been operating as such since that time.
This petition will conform with the recommendation of the Roanoke County 200 Plan to
remove outdated proffer conditions on certain properties to promote redevelopment and
expedite the development process.
Discussion:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this petition on July 7, 2026. No
citizens spoke during the public hearing. The Planning Commission discussed the
development history of the property, the proffered conditions, proffer removal project
process, the benefit of removing outdated proffered conditions for future development
and redevelopment opportunities, property located on a high traffic volume corridor,
future land use designation, surrounding zoning, and implementing the recommendation
in the Roanoke County 200 Plan.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning to remove the
proffered conditions from the property.
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 to rezone approximately 0.81 acre zoned C-2C, High Intensity Commercial
District with Conditions, to remove proffered conditions from the property located at
3306 West Main Street.
Vote:
Supervisor Hooker found that the proposed rezoning request:
1. Is consistent with the purpose and intent of the County's adopted comprehensive
plan,
2. Is good zoning practice, and
3. Will not result in substantial detriment to the community.

Meeting Date: July 14, 2026
Agenda Item:
Request to accept and allocate $24,610 from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice
Services, Byrne-Justice Assistance Grant along with a local match of$8,204 local match
for a total of$32,814.
Submitted By: Michael Poindexter, Chief of Police
Approved By: Richard L. Caywood, County Administrator
Issue:
Accepting and allocating $24,610 from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice
Services, Byrne-Justice Assistance Grant along with a local match of$8,204.
Background:
The Roanoke County Police Department has been awarded a $32,814 grant from the
Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). This funding, part of a
competitive solicitation for the period of June 1, 2026, to September 30, 2026, is
dedicated to the purchase and upgrade of essential law enforcement equipment.
The department will utilize these funds to install four high-definition cameras across two
Criminal Investigation interview rooms. The project includes the integration of modern
software and secure cloud-based storage to ensure data integrity and compliance with
current security standards. By modernizing these facilities with state-of-the-art
technology, the department aims to enhance investigative capabilities, streamline daily
operations, and bolster the safety of both officers and the public.
Discussion:
The Roanoke County Police Department currently maintains two interview rooms
equipped with an obsolete analog camera and DVR recording system. To modernize
these facilities, the Department is seeking funding to implement a state-of-the-art digital
upgrade designed to ensure legal compliance, improve investigative outcomes, and
increase operational efficiency.
The proposed system features secure, CJIS-compliant local and cloud storage,
ensuring a robust chain of custody and streamlined data organization across
investigations. Captured audio and video data will be securely transferred to Video
Manager EL for comprehensive management. Developed in alignment with
CJISSECPOL security controls, the system's design supports industry-best practices for
security and data integrity.
Fiscal Impact:
The total project funding awarded by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice
Services is $32,814 which includes a 25% local match of$8,204. The required match
will come from the Police Department's fiscal year 2026-2027 operating budget.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the acceptance and allocation of the grant funds to the Police
Department in the amount of $24,610 with the required local match of $8,204 for a total
of $32,814 from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services.
Vote:
Supervisor Hooker moved to accept and allocate the grant funds. Supervisor Radford
seconded the motion. Motion approved.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
Meeting Date: July 14, 2026
Agenda Item:
Ordinance Approving the Second Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement
Regarding the Roanoke Valley Greenway. (Second Reading)
Submitted By: Peter S. Lubeck, County Attorney
Approved By: Richard L. Caywood, County Administrator
Issue:
Second reading to approve the Second Amended and Restated Intergovernmental
Agreement Regarding the Roanoke Valley Greenway.
Background:
The regional greenway partnership began in 1997 when the Cities of Roanoke and
Salem, the Town of Vinton, and Roanoke County entered into an Intergovernmental
Agreement to establish the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission. This agreement was
revised in 2008 and further expanded on July 1, 2016, when Botetourt County joined as
a participating locality.
The 2016 agreement established the Greenway Commission as an independent,
regional, intergovernmental board operating as a joint exercise of powers pursuant to
Section 15.2-1300 of the Code of Virginia.
To increase administrative efficiency and cost-effectiveness, the participating localities
now desire to reorganize this structure. The proposed plan dissolves the independent
Commission and transitions its operations under the administrative umbrella of the
Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission (RVARC), which is a political
subdivision created under the Regional Cooperation Act (Chapter 42 of Title 15.2 of the
Code of Virginia).
Discussion:
The Second Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement Regarding the
Roanoke Valley Greenway, dated July 1, 2026, officially implements this structural
reorganization.
Under the terms of the new agreement:
1. Administrative Shift: RVARC assumes primary responsibility for planning,
supporting, coordinating, and engaging the community regarding the greenway
system. These duties will be incorporated directly into RVARC's annual Work Plan.
2. Committee Transition: The standalone Greenway Commission will cease to exist
as an independent board. It will be reconstituted as RVARC's Greenway
Committee, serving in an advisory role to assist RVARC with planning updates,
funding solicitations, and public-private partnerships.
3. Locality Ownership: Individual greenways will continue to be owned and
operated by the specific locality in which they are physically located.
4. Funding Structure: The participating localities will fund the RVARC greenway
budget using the same calculation model applied to the Roanoke Valley
Transportation Planning Organization (TPO).
The new contract explicitly replaces and repeals the 2016 agreement. While the original
commission operated under Section 15.2-1300, the new contract is an intergovernmental
agreement executed in accordance with the Regional Cooperation Act and is not intended
to be a joint exercise of powers.
The reorganization will take effect on July 1, 2026.
There have been no changes since the first reading held on June 23, 2026.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the administrative reorganization or the
adoption of this ordinance. Long-term regional greenway planning costs will be
absorbed into the RVARC Work Plan as outlined in the underlying agreement.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
Vote:
Supervisor Hooker moved to approve the ordinance. Supervisor Radford seconded the
motion. Motion approved.

The regional greenway partnership began in 1997 when the Cities of Roanoke and
Salem, the Town of Vinton, and Roanoke County entered into an Intergovernmental
Agreement to establish the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission. This agreement
was revised in 2008 and further expanded on July 1, 2016, when Botetourt County
joined as a participating locality.
The 2016 agreement established the Greenway Commission as an independent,
regional, intergovernmental board operating as a joint exercise of powers pursuant to
Section 15.2-1300 of the Code of Virginia.
To increase administrative efficiency and cost-effectiveness, the participating localities
now desire to reorganize this structure. The proposed plan dissolves the independent
Commission and transitions its operations under the administrative umbrella of the
Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission (RVARC), which is a political
subdivision created under the Regional Cooperation Act (Chapter 42 of Title 15.2 of the
Code of Virginia). Because the 2016 Commission was established by ordinance, a
formal repealing ordinance is required from each participating governing body to
dissolve the Commission.
Discussion:
To move forward with the regional reorganization, the Board must formally dissolve the
independent Commission via this repealing ordinance. This action is a companion
measure to a separate ordinance on the same agenda, which authorizes the Second
Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement transitioning greenway
operations to RVARC.
Approval of the attached ordinance authorizes the first reading on June 23, 2026. The
second reading will be set for July 14, 2026, with the formal repeal taking effect on July
15, 2026.
There have been no changes since the first reading held on June 23, 2026.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the administrative reorganization or the
repealing of the independent Commission. Long-term regional greenway planning costs
will be absorbed into the RVARC Work Plan as outlined in the companion agreement.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
Vote:
Supervisor Hooker moved to approve the ordinance. Supervisor Radford seconded the
motion. Motion approved.

noise.
The Planning Commission discussed the following: differences between applications;
notification process; animal code and the number of foster dogs allowed; previous
zoning complaint; zoning ordinance amendment process; land use application
requirements and process; no noise complaints received on this property; number of
dogs that can be kept on the property; special use permit conditions; operations of the
commercial kennel (waste management, cleaning and maintenance; safety measures;
fencing and screening; and use of kennel silencer); surrounding zoning; and future land
use designation.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the special use permit in an
AG-1, Agricultural/Rural Low Density District, with the following conditions:
1. The maximum number of dogs onsite shall be limited to twelve (12) between the
hours of 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
