from C -2, General Commercial District with conditions to C -2 General
Commercial District with amended conditions and to obtain a Special Use
Permit on a 4.20 acre parcel to expand mini - warehouses, located at 2205
Washington Avenue, Vinton Magisterial District. Mr. David Holladay,
Roanoke County Planning, presented the Staff Report for this petition.
Mr. Robinson asked why the property needed to be rezoned. Mr.
Holladay stated that several conditions such as no expansion allowed and
the M -1 zoning specifications, which were imposed on the 1986 rezoning,
were no longer applicable. He also stated that the five original conditions
would be replaced by 3 conditions. Mr. Robinson confirmed that the
buffering condition would remain and asked if the petitioner was aware of
the amended proffered conditions. Mr. Holladay stated yes. Mr. Holladay
then stated that the amended proffers would pertain to the rezoning
segment of the petition and that none were necessary for the SUP.
Mr. Scott Winter, 6971 Pine Needle Drive, the petitioner, stated the he did
not plan to change the zoning of the portion of property that fronts on
Washington Avenue. He said that there would be no additional storage
buildings constructed on the front property, but that there was a possibility
of a strip center or restaurant in the future. Mr. Winter stated that his
purchase of the property was contingent on the outcome of the rezoning
and SUP request. He also confirmed that he understood all the proffers
for the rezoning.
There were no citizen comments.
Mr. Kyle Robinson then made the motion to recommend approval for the
rezoning with the following conditions:
1. Eastern .9 acres of the original mini - warehouse development shall
remain as a natural buffer zone. Type C screening and buffer yard
shall be installed between expansion area and adjoining residential
property.
2. Expansion of the mini - warehouses shall be in substantial
