Old Business a. Review of Planning & Zoning Commission Bylaws

• Ms. VanEmburgh supplied suggestions that were included in the members’ packets.

• Ms. Willis stated there is also a copy of the minutes from February 2020 in the packets showing an approved

action item that was never stricken in the official copy of the Bylaws at Town Hall. It was to strike the last sentence of Section 2.1. c. in the Bylaws of the Planning Commission thus allowing the Chair the ability to vote.

• Ms. VanEmburgh highlighted (including the Chairman, even though he/she will vote only in the event of a

tie). in Article IV Meetings Section 4.3 Quorum to suggest this portion also be deleted to conform with the previous change allowing the Chair to vote.

• Ms. VanEmburgh also changed the wording of Article I Preamble Section 1.4 second sentence to conform to

the procedures of the Town Council as stated in the Charter.

• Ms. Willis reviewed the lengthening of the first paragraph, last sentence in Article III Election to add: …three

for the Secretary, unless a favorable unanimous vote of all Members present wish to allow an office to serve an additional term.

• After discussion the addition of two sentences at the end of Article IV Meetings Section 4.3 Quorum. will

read: Members may participate virtually (i.e. video or telephone) in meetings provided the technology and staff are available to facilitate the participation. Only members that are physically present at the meeting shall count towards a quorum.

• One addition to the ‘Rules of the Town of Centreville Planning Commission’ is necessary due to the change

in virtual participation. The same two sentences will be added as (e) in Section 8. Quorum and Vote.

b. Zoning Map Amendments

• Ms. Dahlstrom found two parcels just west of the C-2 on the Future Land Use Map are shown as commercial.

The parcels are 401 and 409 Kidwell Avenue. The two parcels were determined to be residential and the commercial designation would be considered a mistake to the Future Land Use Map.

• Ms. Dahlstrom stated the parcels that contain the Food Lion shopping center, Walgreens, McDonald’s, and

AutoZone are designated commercial on the Future Land Use Map but are currently zoned Planned Business District on the Zoning Map. Further research will be done to determine if this is the correct designation.
