ROANOKE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 3, 2019
It is a long-standing tradition of the Roanoke County Planning Commission to offer a
prayer or hold a moment of silence prior to conducting public hearings. The goal of
this practice is to set the minds of all who are present to a higher purpose and to invite
all to reflect upon shared ideals and common ends.
We invite County citizens of all faiths, who desire to lead such a prayer or moment of
silence, to please contact the administrative assistant at least two weeks in advance.
When no citizen has arranged to lead the invocation, a member of the Planning
Commission, in his or her individual capacity, will do so. All who are present may
choose whether to stand or otherwise participate.
Disclaimer:
Any invocation that may be offered before the official start of the Commission hearing
shall be the voluntary offering of a private citizen. The views or beliefs expressed by
the invocation speaker have not been previously reviewed or approved by the
Commission and do not necessarily represent the religious beliefs or views of the
Commission in part or as a whole. No member of the community is required to attend
or participate in the invocation and such decision will have no impact on their right to
actively participate in the business of the Commission.
J.Pledge of Allegiance
K.Public Hearing Petitions:
1. The petition of Donald and Elaine Keppleto rezone approximately 4.6 acres from
I-2, High Intensity Industrial, District to AR, Agricultural/Residential, District for the
construction of single family dwelling, located at 6121 Peaceful Drive, Catawba
Magisterial District.
2. Proposed amendmentsto Section 30-82-3 of the Roanoke County Zoning
Ordinance. The proposed amendment would remove the presently invalid
provision of zoning ordinance that prohibits the sale of firearms as a home
occupation. This provision was rendered invalid by Section 15.2-915 of the Code
of Virginia, which generally prohibits localities from regulating the transfer of
firearms, and leaves such regulation in the discretion of the Commonwealth.
