(VHS), I’d like to express both thanks and appreciation to the Vinton Town Council and Town Citizens for their seemingly endless support of our efforts preserving the past of Vinton, East Roanoke County and surrounding communities and contributing to our future understanding of our past to improve planning for today and the days to come. We maintain frequent contact with our target group of people who are extremely interested in history and preservation. Our reach and engagement of in-person connections is dependent upon the days we’re open, which at most, is limited to not more than 52 hours in a month; however, our co-administration of both the Vinton Memories & History (Memories) and Vinton History Museum (Museum) FACEBOOK pages have added so much to our engagement of this target. The former has been especially fruitful with a “Reach” this past month alone of 41,185 versus 21,896 views for the latter. We currently have 2,700 “Followers” on the Museum page and six thousand members on the Memories pages. Over the past year these pages, either one, the other or both, have posted near-daily photographs and stories of people, businesses, places, and events which invite comment and engagement with people dependent on at least some of their social connections. Our staff and short-term interns have worked with Debbie Adams of the Vinton Messenger to provide weekly “Vinton History” articles which highlight an item from the museum collection and promotes our hours of operation. Lastly, we attract and engage Town residents with our continued maintenance of the Little Free Library box on our front sidewalk. Over the past few years, we have collected over 2500 books by voluntary donation and distributed nearly 1000 surplus books from these to other charitable agencies. We continue planning and conducting our traditional and new events such as: Holiday Open House, Fundraising Yard Sale, Christmas in August, Online Auction Sale, Book Signing featuring Dr. Kimberly Horn, a Watermelon Social, Downtown Vinton Trick or Treat and Vinton Fall Festival. Museum volunteers organized and decorated and whimsical tree for the Hotel Roanoke “Fashions for Evergreens.” Hundreds of Santa Claus figures were featured on the “Yes Virginia’s Blue Ridge, there is a Santa Claus.” The tree received an honorable third place in public voting among thirty-one trees. The entire event raised $11, 201.05 for United Way of Roanoke Valley. Upcoming events at the museum will include March - National Unplugged Day/ Book Give Away, April - Volunteer Recognition Month, Native American Walking Tours along the Glade Creek Greenway on April 25 and 26, May - National Preservation Month highlights. We continue to identify opportunities for securing outside funding via charitable foundations and other corporate charity donation programs. On January 14, the Vinton Historical Society was honored to receive a $5000 donation from Rosies Gaming Emporium through the Rosie’s Give Back Community Program. The historical society took on the task of raising money for the “Rising to New Heights Cargo/Accessibility Lift Campaign” that kicked off April 22. Members of the Vinton Historical Society/Vinton History Museum board and museum volunteers received a surprise on September 30th with the presentation of a very substantial check for $42,380 from the Community Foundation Serving Western Virginia. Michelle Eberly, Director of Grants and Donor Engagement, delivered the check. The money is designated for the purchase and installation of a cargo/accessibility lift which will enable greater access to the second floor of the Vinton History Museum for those with mobility issues. With this generous contribution, substantial donations from members and friends that is continuing today and the anticipated contribution by the town; we are confident that we have sufficient funds to complete construction of the cargo lift. The cost was originally estimated at $170,000, however, with increased construction costs, the cost is now closer to $180,000. Vinton’s Capital Projects Manager Jamie Hurt will supervise the project. Members of the Fundraising Committee include Judy Cunningham, Julie Huckaby, Dale Ellis, Doug Sowers, Deanna Gordon, Mary Beth Layman, Debbie Cooper, and Annabelle Teague. . Respectfully, Mary Beth Layman, President Meeting Date February 18, 2025 Department Administration Issue Briefing on the 2025 Roanoke County Real Estate Reassessment Summary Each year, the Roanoke County Assessor’s Office establishes the property values for all property in the County, which includes property within the Town. A letter is developed and sent to all property owners detailing their assessment values for both the land and buildings. The letter details the previous three years’ worth of assessments in a table. As required by the General Assembly, the letter is to state the tax percentage increase or decrease the actual taxes paid would be as compared to the previous year. Ken Fay, Roanoke County Real Estate Valuation Director, will give the PowerPoint presentation at the meeting and answer any questions that Council might have. Council is scheduled to conduct its Public Hearing on the tax rates on April 1, 2025. Pursuant to Section 58.1-3321 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, any assessment that results in an increase of one percent or more requires that the Notice of Public Hearing be given at least seven days prior to the date of the hearing.

Summary The portions of the properties proposed for rezoning are currently zoned R-2 Residential District which would not allow for a commercial access drive to be installed as a permitted accessory use. The proposed rezoning would only affect the portions of the properties that are currently zoned residential. The developer’s/petitioner’s intended use includes the creation of a vehicular access point as well as the expansion of the self-storage (mini-warehouse) facility use. Any proposed development would have to meet the current requirements of the Vinton Zoning Ordinance, including buffering/screening standards, landscaping requirements, height limits, setbacks, and all other applicable sections.

The Planning Commission usually makes its decision on the evening of this public hearing, but it has 90 days, by law, to make its recommendation to Town Council. 4 of 4 -Please keep this page for your records – REZONING NARRATIVE On behalf of Winter Properties Partnership, LLP (Owner), we are providing the narrative below as supplemental information to support the attached rezoning application. This request is to rezone a portion of two existing Tax Parcels from R-2 to M-1. This rezoning request affects a portion of Tax Parcel #060.11- 04-29.00-0000 and a portion of Tax Parcel #060.11-04-30.00-0000. The total area of these parcels is +/- 0.93 acres, with approximately 0.52 acres proposed to be rezoned from R-2 to M-1. Project Narrative The existing Winter’s Storage facility is located at 145 Railroad Avenue on Roanoke County, Virginia (Tax Parcel #060.15-01-38.00-0000). This parcel consists of approximately 0.75 acres and zoned M-1. The only access to the property is currently from Railroad Avenue utilizing an existing railroad crossing. The mechanism for this access is a year-to-year lease that is not guaranteed to be renewed by the railroad each year. Therefore, it is a priority for the business to create a new public access point. The proposed rezoning will allow for construction of an additional access drive to connect to the public right-of-way of Highland Road. Over the past few years, the owner has acquired several other parcels around the existing Winter’s Storage facility. These additional parcels include the two split-zoned parcels that are included with this request, as well as Tax Parcels #060.15-01-36.00-0000 and #060.15-01-34.00-0000 located to the west of the existing facility. The total area of all five parcels is approximately 4.5 acres. The proposed rezoning action will eliminate the current split zoning for two existing Tax Parcels within the Town and allow for the existing Winter’s Storage commercial development to be improved and expanded. A proffered condition is included with this request to limit the allowable uses for the rezoned portion of the property to ensure that any future development is sensitive to the surrounding uses. Existing Conditions The two lots that are included in the rezoning request each had a residential structure at one time located at the rear of the property. These structures were in a state of disrepair and have recently been demolished by the Owner. The site generally slopes from Highland Road toward the railroad tracks located at the rear of the property. Existing topography is rolling with a ridge through the middle of the site running north to south that contains much of the existing development. There is an existing pond and two existing creeks on the property. One creek is on the west side to the south of the pond and the other creek is located in the southeast corner of the site. These features are anticipated to remain and have been incorporated into the Master Plan. There is a wooded area near the pond and creek along the western side of the property and this vegetation will be preserved to the extent practical. The property has frontage on Highland Road to the north, approximately 300 feet to the west of Gus Nicks Boulevard. A large building is located on the opposite side of Highland Road that was recently converted from a school building to multi-family residential units. Located to the east, between the property and Gus Nicks Boulevard, is an auto repair facility and a property with two residential structures on it. These residential structures appear to be a single-family residence and a duplex. A single-family residential house is located approximately 150 feet to the west of the property. Railroad right-of-way borders the property to the south. The existing Winter’s Storage facility consists of five buildings totaling approximately 7,500 SF with paved areas to provide access to each of the storage units. This parcel is relatively level with a small slope near the northern property line. The two lots to the west of the existing facility are generally wooded with fairly steep slopes from north to south. The southern half of the property appears to be located within the FEMA- defined 100-year floodplain. Planned Improvements The Owner/Applicant intends to create a vehicular access from the existing development to Highland Road, as well as to expand the self-storage (mini-warehouse) facility use. The expansion is expected to be developed in phases dependent on market demand and will likely include a mix of units with interior and exterior access units available. Buffers will be maintained next to all residentially zoned property as required by the Town of Vinton zoning ordinance. A type C buffer is required on property zoned M-1 wherever it is adjacent to a residential zoning district. There are two options for type C buffer: Option 1 – 25’ wide buffer with screen fence and evergreen plantings or Option 2 – 50’ wide buffer with evergreen plantings. These required buffers will provide necessary separation between differing use types and minimize any impacts to adjacent properties. In addition to the required buffers, it is expected that a large portion of Tax Parcel #060.15-01-34.00-0000 will remain in its existing condition due to the topography in this area. Buffering on this property will be even more effective due to the topography of the site. In order to make proposed grading work on this site, it is anticipated that the proposed buildings will be at an elevation several feet below Highland Road, which will further help to minimize their visual impact to any surrounding properties. Stormwater management will be provided for this development as required by local and state regulations. It is anticipated that a new stormwater management facility will be located near the low point at the southwest corner of the site. Access and Traffic A new access point is proposed on Highland Road to serve the development, and the intent is for this to become the principal access. The existing entrance connection to Railroad Avenue to the south may or may not continue to be utilized in the future. Internal access drives will be provided to ensure that appropriate access is available to existing and new buildings for patrons, as well as emergency vehicles. Traffic generation from the proposed development is anticipated to be minimal and will not have a noticeable impact on the surrounding road network. Public Facilities According to WVWA GIS, there is an existing 4” public waterline located in Highland Road in front of the site. An existing 6” public sewer main is located to the south on the opposite side of the railroad tracks. It may not be feasible to tie into this sanitary sewer main because of the requirement to cross under the existing railroad tracks. There is an existing 8” public sewer main in Highland Road to the east of the property. If new buildings will have water and sewer services, this would be the preferred connection location. This development is anticipated to have little or no demand on public water and sewer services. The project is anticipated to have little or no impacts to other public services, including roads, schools, parks/recreation, and fire/rescue. Comprehensive Development Plan These properties are designated for High-Density Residential and General Commercial uses on the Town of Vinton Future Land Use and Transportation Plan. High-Density Residential is indicated on the map for the portion of the properties closest to Highland Road and General Commercial is indicated on the map for the rear portion closest to the existing railroad. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the General Commercial designation. In order to gain access to the General Commercial area of the property, it is essential that the front of the property be rezoned. The existing access across the railroad tracks is no longer a viable long-term solution for this area. The proposed rezoning request is in conformance with many of the Goals and Objectives outlined in the Town of Vinton’s current Comprehensive Plan as indicated below. Goal: “Encourage and provide for harmonious and wise use of the land in a manner that meets the needs of the population, stimulates physical, social, and economic development, and protects the environmental quality of the area.” The proposed request will allow for an existing development to be expanded, while preserving the majority of the most sensitive areas of the property, which include the steep wooded slope and the floodplain area on the western portion of the property. Objective: Protect the natural environment from inappropriate development and use the natural setting to enhance the man-made environment. The project will preserve the majority of the most sensitive areas of the property, while also creating new buffers and providing additional vegetation where required adjacent to residential zoning. Objective: Promote compact business development rather than strip commercial development. The project allows for an existing business to be expanded in its current location, which is an efficient use of the existing property available. Summary The proposed rezoning request will allow an existing business to preserve and enhance access to their property, as well as to expand and remain within the Town of Vinton. This business has served the residents of Vinton for many years and this rezoning will allow them to continue that long into the future. The project will be developed in a manner that is consistent with the general development pattern for this area near Gus Nicks Boulevard and sensitive to the nearby residentially-zoned parcels. The proposed proffered condition will guide what uses can be developed on the rezoned portion of the property in the future, with the intent being that this property is used to expand the existing self-storage facility. The existing and proposed self-storage facility is a passive commercial use that will have minimal impact to the surrounding community. This facility generates very minimal traffic and has very low impact on utility infrastructure and other services. The expansion of the existing facility represents a significant investment in an existing business that will benefit the Town and its residents into the future.

NATURE OF REQUEST Petition of Winter Properties Partnership LLP, to rezone the portions of currently split-zoned properties located at 0 Highland Road, tax map numbers 060.11-04-29.00-0000 and 060.11-04-30.00-0000, from the R-2 Residential District to the M-1 Limited Industrial District. B. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS The portions of the properties proposed for rezoning are currently zoned R-2 Residential District which would not allow for a commercial access drive to be installed as a permitted accessory use. The proposed rezoning would only affect the portions of the properties that are currently zoned residential. The purpose of the M-1 Limited Industrial District is to provide appropriate locations for light industrial and manufacturing uses along with related service and support uses and compatible commercial activities. The uses permitted in the district typically involve minimal hazards, do not create significant amounts of smoke, noise, odor, dust or other nuisance, and are intended to provide employment opportunities and economic development potential. The district is intended to be located along or near primary traffic routes to facilitate access and avoid industrial traffic on minor roads and residential streets. The regulations in the M-1District are designed to promote compatibility among uses within the district and with neighboring uses in other districts and to avoid adverse impacts on existing and future industrial development so as to maximize industrial development opportunities in the town. C. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Background – The following parcels have been split-zoned dating back to at least the 1980s. Based on staff research, the original reasoning for these areas of the Town being split-zoned had to do with the areas adjacent to the Norfolk Southern right-of-way being designated for industrial use. Previously, these two parcels each contained a residential structure located to the rear of the property. However, in the remaining years of their existence, they became blighted and subject to trespass by transient populations. After an accidental fire caused both structures to be substantially damaged, the current property owner and applicant purchased both parcels on May 16, 2023, and demolished both units. In September 2024, the property owners approached Town staff to discuss the requirements associated with creating a new access point to their existing self-storage (mini-warehouse) facility on Highland Road. Based on case law in the Commonwealth of Virginia, an accessory use (in this case, an access drive) can only serve as a connection to a permitted use along all areas within a respective zoning district. Due to the parcel being split-zoned, the commercial access drive would not be permitted across the area zoned as R- 2 Residential since this zoning district does not permit mini-warehouse facility uses. Based on the property owner’s intentions for the property, the viable means of allowing for a future access point and drive was to pursue the rezoning of the portions of the parcels that are currently zoned residential. Since that conversation and in subsequent meetings, the owner/applicant has also stated that they potentially plan to expand the self-storage (mini-warehouse) facility use into the areas requested for rezoning. The expansion is expected to be developed in phases dependent upon market demand and will likely include a mix of interior and exterior access units. Location – 0 Highland Road, Vinton, Virginia (060.11-04-29.00-0000 and 060.11-04-30.00-0000). The parcels have frontage along Highland Road. Topography/Vegetation – The two vacant parcels are generally sloped away from Highland Road toward the Norfolk Southern right-of-way situated at the rear of the property. The parcel to the east contains an open grass area fronting Highland Road, and there are existing mature trees to the south where the former residential units used to exist. Adjacent Zoning and Land Uses – The land uses within the vicinity of the subject property are summarized below. Direction from Property Zoning District Land Use D. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Site Layout/Architecture - The developer’s/petitioner’s intended use includes the creation of a vehicular access point as well as the expansion of the self-storage (mini-warehouse) facility use. Any proposed development would have to meet the current requirements of the Vinton Zoning Ordinance, including buffering/screening standards, landscaping requirements, height limits, setbacks, and all other applicable sections. Parking – The developer/petitioner would have to meet the off-street parking requirement outlined in the Vinton Zoning Ordinance in addition to the standards set out for new commercial entrances in the Town. Site Access – The proposed new access point is from Highland Road, and it is the petitioner’s intent for this to become the principal access. The existing access point to their business operation is from Railroad Avenue, however this unguarded railroad crossing has been noted to have public safety concerns in the past and is no longer viewed as a long-term solution for the site. Utilities – Public water and sewer services are available for the property. The development is anticipated to have low to no demand on public water and sewer services given the nature of their operations. F. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/FUTURE LAND USE The 2004 – 2024 Town Comprehensive Plan designates the portions of the properties proposed for rezoning for future High-Density Residential use. The remaining portions of the properties are designated as a General Commercial land use area. The plan directs High-Density Residential uses to establish multi- family areas in and around the Town. As a general rule, apartments and other large-scale group housing are best sited on arterial roads near major commercial centers. In these locations, high-volume circulation needs can be met without disrupting lower-density neighborhoods. Areas intended for General Commercial development including retail stores, services, lodging/restaurants, offices, and shopping centers. General commercial areas should be located on collector or arterial roads, have sufficient parking, and be adequately served by public utilities and services. G. STAFF CONCLUSION Although the portions of the properties proposed for rezoning are designated for future High-Density Residential use according to the Future Land Use and Transportation Plan, Town staff do not find these specific portions as being consistent with that designation due to the existing topography, amount of land area required for such developments, and the need to be compatible with the surrounding area and purposes of the underlying zoning districts. Town staff agrees with the petitioner’s proposed rezoning being more consistent with the General Commercial designation and supports the correction of split- zoning throughout the Town, when appropriate. Town staff also find that the existing access across the Norfolk Southern railroad right-of-way is a public safety issue and could be addressed through this new access drive. Town staff approve of the proposed proffered conditions provided by the applicant that will dictate what uses will be permitted on the rezoned portions of the properties in the future. The Petitioner has listed uses that are permitted in the M-1 Limited Industrial District that shall be the only uses permitted on the rezoned portions of the properties as a proffered condition. The Petitioner has proffered that the following uses shall be the only permitted uses on the rezoned portions of properties thenceforth: 1. Accessory uses and structures 2. Amusement, commercial, indoor 3. Animal hospital or veterinary clinic, completely enclosed 4. Art galleries, supply shops, and custom frame shops 5. Artist studio (including photography) 6.

Grose, Mayor ATTEST: _________________________________ Antonia Arias-Magallon, Town Clerk Meeting Date February 18, 2025 Department Administration Issue Consideration of public comments concerning the proposed amendment to the Town of Vinton’s FY 2024-2025 budget to appropriate funding for the purchase of real property in the total amount of $200,000.00 in the Capital Fund. State law requires a public hearing to be held whenever a proposed budget amendment exceeds 1% of the locality’s total budget. Summary Town staff have identified a parcel of real property of interest to the Town, and as a result of informal discussions between the Town Manager and the property owner, the Town staff have negotiated a purchase price and purchase agreement with the owner. The total cost of the purchase of real property by the Town is $200,000.00 as outlined in a purchase agreement presented to Town Council. The Town had not previously budgeted for this expenditure, so a budget amendment and appropriation is necessary for the purchase. The proposed resolution and list of budget amendments and appropriations would provide money from actual interest earnings on Capital Fund investments that were not originally budgeted due to market and rate uncertainty. It is anticipated that the interest earnings in the Capital Fund will exceed the needed $200,000.00 for this amendment and appropriation. Section 15.2-2507 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, requires any locality to hold a Public Hearing in order to amend its budget when any such amendment exceeds one percent (1%) of the total expenditures show in the currently adopted budget. The Notice of this Public Hearing was advertised in The Vinton Messenger on February 6, 2025.
