[Application No. UP-1027-24, Cliff’s Automotive LLC: Request for a Special Use Permit, pursuant to Section 24.1-306 (Category 12, No. 5a and 6) of the York County Zoning Ordinance, to authorize auto/light and heavy truck sales, rental, and service – specifically three Penske rental trucks – on a 1.9-acre parcel (GPIN Q09d-2984-0580) located at 8427 George Washington Memorial Highway (Route 17). The property is zoned GB (General Business) and designated General Business in the Comprehensive Plan.]

UH, AND THE STAFF WILL GIVE US A PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THIS APPLICATION IS A REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT

[00:05:01]

TO AUTHORIZE AN EXISTING AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP TO RENT TRUCKS AT 8 4 2 7 GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH IS OCCUPIED BY CLIFFS AUTOMOTIVE, IS A 1.9 ACRE PARCEL LOCATED ON ROUTE 17 ACROSS THE YORKTOWN LIBRARY.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ZONED GB FOR GENERAL BUSINESS AND DESIGNATED GB IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE SURROUNDING PARCELS ARE GB AND R 24.

MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO THE NORTH IS A VACANT PARCEL, WHICH IS THE FUTURE SITE OF RIVERSIDE HEATING AND COOLING TO THE EAST IS ROUTE 17, AND THE YORKTOWN LIBRARY TO THE SOUTH IS CLAREMONT WAY AND A VACANT 12.5 ACRE PARCEL WITH A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOME ZONED GB AND TO THE WEST IS A ONE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOME.

THE APPLICANT, MR. FAIRBANKS, IS REQUESTING TO RENT THREE PENSKE TRUCKS, WHICH WOULD BE PARKED NEXT TO THE GOLF CARTS THAT WERE APPROVED IN THE PREVIOUS SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

THE ZONING ORDINANCE PERMITS HEAVY TRUCK RENTALS IN THE GB DISTRICT ONLY UPON THE ISSUANCE OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUIREMENT RECOGNIZES THAT AUTO RELATED USES COULD HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE CHARACTER AND AESTHETIC QUALITY OF THE COUNTY'S MAJOR CORRIDORS, AND THAT SOME AREAS MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR AUTO RELATED USES UNDER ANY CONDITIONS.

IN THIS CASE, THE AUTO RELATED USE AND AUTO REPAIR FACILITY HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED AND THE APPLICANT, THE APPLICANT IS SIMPLY REQUESTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER TRUCK RENTALS.

STAFF HAS PROPOSED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL LIMITING THE NUMBER OF TRUCK RENTALS THAT CAN BE DISPLAYED AT ANY ONE TIME TO THREE TO ENSURE THAT THE SCALE OF THE OPERATION REMAINS SMALL.

THE NARRATIVE SUBMITTED, UM, UM, WITH THE APPLICATION STATES THAT ALL TRUCKS WOULD BE PARKED OUTSIDE THE BUILDING DURING THE HOURS THAT CLIFF'S AUTOMOTIVE IS CLOSED AND THAT THE TRUCKS WOULD BE PARKED OUTSIDE, UH, AND WOULD BE USED FOR RENTAL PURPOSES LOCALLY.

AND ONE WAY THE TRUCKS MAY BE RETURNED TO THE LOCATION.

HOWEVER, TRUCKS MAY BE DROPPED OFF TO OTHER LOCATIONS OUTSIDE VIRGINIA.

STAFF HAS INCLUDED THIS AS A, UM, CONDITION OF APPROVAL AS MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION WILL RECALL.

ON MAY 16TH, 2023, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVED A SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION TO ALLOW THE SALE OF GOLF CARTS ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS, THE PROPERTY HAS TWO EXISTING DRIVEWAYS, UH, ONE OF WHICH IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 85 FEET FROM THE INTERSECTION OF CLAREMONT WAY AND ROUTE 17.

THIS ENTRANCE DOES NOT MEET V DOT'S CURRENT ACCESS MANAGEMENT STANDARDS, AND THEY HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE COUNTY REQUIRE THIS ENTRANCE TO BE CLOSED AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL.

CLOSING THIS DRIVEWAY WOULD REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CONFLICT POINTS AND IMPROVE SAFETY AT THAT INTERSECTION.

THEREFORE, STAFF HAS PROPOSED A CONDITION OF APPROVAL REQUIRING THE ENTRANCE TO BE CLOSED AND CONVERTED INTO A LANDSCAPE YARD THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE PROPERTY, STAFF HAS PROPOSED AN ADDITIONAL CONDITION OF APPROVAL REQUIRING THE APPLICANT TO PLANT FOUR EVERGREEN SHRUBS, SHRUBS OF AT LEAST TWO FEET IN HEIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PROPOSED GOLF CART DISPLAY AREA.

UH, NOTE THAT MR. BANKS IS WORKING WITH A LANDSCAPE COMPANY TO COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS.

THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES THAT TRUCK RENTAL AREA BE PAVED OR GRAVELED AND DOES NOT ALLOW ANY VEHICLES DISPLAYED

[00:10:01]

FOR RENT TO BE PARKED OR GRASS ON GRASS OR LANDSCAPE PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY.

THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL TO PARK THE TRUCKS IN THE PAVED AREA MEETS THIS REQUIREMENT.

VDOT HAS REQUESTED THAT THE SOUTHERN ENTRANCE BE CLOSED AND CONVERTED INTO A LANDSCAPE YARD, AND THE APPLICANT SHALL PLANT FOR EVERGREEN SHRUBS OF AT LEAST TWO FEET.

AGAIN, MR. FAIRBANKS IS DILIGENTLY WORKING TOWARDS THESE REQUIREMENTS.

IN STAFF'S OPINION, ALLOWING AN EXISTING AUTO REPAIR FACILITY TO HAVE ACCESSORY TRUCK RENTALS REPRESENTS A FAIRLY SMALL INCREASE IN INTENSITY OF USE.

GIVEN THE SMALL SCALE OF THE PROPOSED USE.

STAFF BELIEVES IT IS UNLIKELY TO HAVE ANY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND STAFF BELIEVES ANY IMPACT ON TRAFFIC WOULD BE NEGLIGIBLE.

IN ADDITION, THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BOTH MAKE THE NEARBY INTERSECTION SAFER AND IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF THE PROPERTY WITH LANDSCAPING.

FOR THESE REASONS, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION SET FORTH IN PROPOSED RESOLUTION NUMBER PC 24 DASH ONE.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THE APPLICANT, MR. CHRIS FAIRBANKS IS HERE, AND, UH, PENSKE'S REPRESENTATIVE MS. KIVA SIMKINS IS ALSO PRESENT.

JUST ONE, UH, BOX MICROPHONE.

MICROPHONE PLEASE, SIR.

BEAR WITH US .

THE, UH, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WAS, UH, TO ADD A, UH, KNOX BOX TO THE BUILDING.

COULD YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS? SURE.

UM, IF, IF I CAN, UH, HAVE MR. FAIRBANKS COME UP HERE AND THEN HE CAN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

YEP.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? WELL, MAYBE THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A QUESTION THAT MR. FAIR FAIRBANKS CAN ANSWER, BUT KNOX BOX, I, I CAN'T ANSWER.

OH, YOU CAN? YEAH.

OH, OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

IT, IT'S A CHRIS FAIRBANKS 2 0 1 BLACKSMITH ARCH.

LET ME GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING, SORRY, REMINDER THAT YOU HAVE, UH, UH, 10 MINUTES TO, UH, TO ADDRESS US.

UNDERSTOOD.

SO, UM, A KNOX BOX IS A DEVICE THAT YOU PUT IN THE FRONT OF A BUILDING THAT ALLOWS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS TO THE BUILDING.

THERE'S ESSENTIALLY A KEY TO THE BUILDING INSIDE THIS BOX THAT THEY CAN GET INSIDE OF.

SO IF WE'RE NOT AROUND, THEY CAN GET INSIDE AND START PUTTING THE FIRE OUT SOONER.

I UNDERSTAND.

YEP.

SO, UM, THIS, UH, WHAT, WHAT WE'RE APPLYING FOR HERE, UM, PENSKE UH, REACHED OUT TO US AND ASKED IF WE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PARTNERING WITH THEM.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT PENSKE DOES IS, UM, THEY FIND BUSINESSES WITH THE APPROPRIATE SIZE, LOCATION, UM, AND THE, THE RIGHT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION.

UM, AND THEY, THEY PUT A FEW VEHICLES THERE FOR RENT, ESSENTIALLY CREATING SATELLITE LOCATIONS FOR THEM.

UM, WE DISCUSSED IT WITH THEM, WE CONSIDERED IT, UM, WE THINK IT WOULD FIT IN GOOD WITH WHAT WE DO.

UM, WE FELT LIKE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS WOULDN'T BE ANYTHING FURTHER THAN THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT WE GOT APPROVED LAST YEAR, SO IT WOULDN'T BE ANYTHING ADDITIONAL TO US.

UM, THE PROCESS FOR RENTING THESE TRUCKS OUT IS, IT'S, IT'S RENTING A VEHICLE.

YOU, YOU GOTTA CONFIRM THEY HAVE INSURANCE.

YOU GOTTA WALK AROUND AND MAKE A CHECKLIST OF DENTS AND DINGS ON IT.

UM, WE HAVE, UH, RENTAL VEHICLES AT OUR SHOP AND WE DO THAT ALREADY WITH THEM NOW.

SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY, IT WOULDN'T BE A STRETCH FOR WHAT WE DO.

IT'S, IT FALLS IN LINE WITH WHAT WE DO.

WE'VE GOT THE, UM, THE ROOM FOR IT.

THEY ONLY WANNA PUT A COUPLE TRUCKS AT THE SHOP 'CAUSE THEY'VE GOT A CENTRAL LOCATION UP IN NEWPORT NEWS WHERE THEY HAVE LOTS OF VEHICLES.

WE WOULD ONLY HAVE A COUPLE.

UM, SO WE FELT LIKE IT'D BE A GOOD FIT WITH FOR WHAT WE DO AND, UM, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.

AND MS. KIVA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? UM, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR PENSKE? SHE'S HERE.

YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH, IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

YES, SIR.

YES.

WE'D LOVE, I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR PENSKE.

OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS, WE CAN SEND A DRIVER DIRECTLY TO COME AND PICK THAT UNIT UP WITHIN 24 HOURS.

MORE, AND MAYBE FOR YOU TOO.

'CAUSE I, IT WAS THE SAME QUESTION I ASKED THE STAFF EARLIER, AND I THINK I GOT AN ANSWER, BUT STEP ME THROUGH THE PROCESS.

HE HAS THREE TRUCKS ON HIS LOT.

A PERSON COMES IN FROM OUT OF TOWN, WANTS TO DROP OFF HIS TRUCK, THEY'D MAKE FOUR TRUCKS BEING IN A VIOLATION.

WHAT HAPPENS? STEP ME THROUGH THE PROCESS.

UM, SURE.

SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE, UM, HIRED DRIVERS.

WE HAVE A TEAM OF ABOUT 15 DRIVERS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE DAY TO DAY FOR TRANSPORTING THE TRUCKS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HAMPTON ROADS.

SO WHAT WOULD TAKE PLACE IS ONCE WE'RE MADE AWARE THAT THERE, THAT IT'S IN VIOLATION

[00:15:01]

YOU'RE WELCOME.

MR. CHAIRMAN, WE NEED HER NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

YES, PLEASE.

MM-HMM, .

UM, KIVA SIMKINS.

AND YOU SAID MY ADDRESS? 5 1 9 WOODLAKE DRIVE, CHESAPEAKE.

IT'S 8 3 3 2 0.

NO PROBLEM.

MY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

UM, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS THAT, THAT THIS, THE LAST, UH, APPROVAL WAS BACK IN MAY.

UM, SO OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS, YOU SAID YOU WERE WORKING WITH A LANDSCAPER .

YEAH.

SO, UM, YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH CLIFFS, I'M SURE.

UM, CLIFFS NEEDS A LOT OF WORK, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THESE THINGS TAKE TIME TO GET SET UP TO GET THE, THE GOLF CARTS IN.

WE'RE GONNA END UP HAVING TO BUY A SHIPPING CONTAINER FULL OF THEM.

UM, WE'VE HAD OTHER THINGS THAT BECAME A PRIORITY.

WE JUST RECENTLY GOT A WHOLE NEW HEATING SYSTEM HOOKED UP IN CLIFFS.

UM, WE REPLACED OUTLETS, WE HAD SOME PLUMBING ISSUES COME UP, SO WE HAD TO PIVOT AWAY FROM THE GOLF CARTS TEMPORARILY.

UM, BUT WE'VE GOT ALL THAT STUFF SORTED OUT.

AND 2024 IS ESSENTIALLY, WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK INSIDE OF CLIFFS 2024.

WE'RE ABOUT TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE'RE WORKING ON THE OUTSIDE OF CLIFFS.

UM, WE HAVE A, WE'VE GOT A, ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS IS A LANDSCAPING COMPANY AND WE'RE KIND OF TRADING SERVICES WITH THEM.

UM, YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED THEY'VE ALREADY, UH, LANDSCAPED THE LITTLE ISLAND IN FRONT OF CLIFFS.

SO WE'VE GOT THAT MUCH DONE.

UM, AND AS THE TEMPERATURES GO UP AND SPRING ROLLS AROUND, THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA TAKE CARE OF ALMOST EVERYTHING FOR THE SPECIAL USE, UM, FOR US MINUS THE KNOX BOX PART.

OKAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NO.

UH, WE HAVE ANY, I SEE NO SPEAKERS HAVE SUBMITTED ANYTHING FOR THIS APPLICATION OR IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE APPLICATION? UH, HAVING SEEN NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD APPLICATION AND ONCE I UNDERSTOOD WHERE THE GOLF CARTS ARE GONNA BE AND THE TRUCKS ARE GONNA BE, AND HOW THEY'RE GONNA GET RID OF THE FOURTH TRUCK, IF IT EVER SHOWS UP, I'M SATISFIED WITH IT.

I, I, I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE NOX BLOCKS.

I THINK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL GET IN THERE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IF IT'S BURNING.

SO , I HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THEM.

SO LOOKS THAT'S A GREAT APPLICATION.

DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT.

I, I AGREE.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

I AGREE.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE AN EXISTING PIECE OF PROPERTY HERE.

SO WE'RE GETTING SOMETHING IN RETURN AND THANK YOU.

AND SO WE'RE IMPROVING CLIFFS A LONGTIME, UH, WELL-KNOWN LOCATION FOR CAR INSPECTIONS AND MECHANIC WORK AND I'LL BE SUPPORTING IT.

I AGREE WITH EVERYONE.

UH, DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD, SO I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MR. CHAIR.

I'LL MOVE PC 24 DASH ONE.

I THINK WE'RE READY FOR OLD BUSINESS.

ROLL CALL PLEASE.

THE MOTION BY MR. SMER IS TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER PC 24 DASH ONE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO AUTHORIZE PENSKE TRUCKS AT 8 4 2 7 GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY.

SIR.

THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

FIRST OFF, I WANT TO, UH, CONGRATULATE MS. ABBIT ON HER FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH THE COUNTY.

YES, SHE, UH, JOINED THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BACK IN JANUARY OF 2019 AND LAST MAY, AS YOU KNOW, SHE MOVED OVER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SIDE TO THE PLANNING SIDE AND WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE HER ON OUR SIDE.

UH, AS FAR AS RECENT ACTIONS BY THE BOARD AT THEIR DECEMBER 19TH MEETING, THEY APPROVED THE TWO YORKTOWN VILLAGE ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS FOR THE RESTAURANT ON WATER STREET AND REED STREET AND THE BOARDWALK DECK, UH, BETWEEN THE TWO RESTAURANTS.

IT'S, IT'S ACROSS THE, FROM THE MARQUEE.

IT'S ON ROUTE 1 99 AND THAT LITTLE TRIANGLE BETWEEN 1 99 PENMAN ROAD AND WATER COUNTRY PARKWAY.

UH, LONG TIMERS WE'LL REMEMBER THAT THIS WAS A SITE THAT THE COUNTY HAD PLANNED TO PUT A MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL STADIUM MANY YEARS AGO.

ONE OF THE MORE REGRETTABLE THINGS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, , UH, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.

BUT, UH, SO IT'S, UH, UH, 320 APARTMENT UNITS AND THEN THERE'S, UH, A 3.7 ACRE, UH, PARCEL ON THE CORNER OF ROUTE SEVEN, UH, ROUTE 1 99 WATER COUNTRY PARKWAY THAT THEY ARE SETTING ASIDE FOR A, UH, CONVENIENCE STORE SLASH UH, GAS STATION SLASH FOOD USE.

UM, AND THEN THE REMAINING, THE REMAINDER OF THE PROPERTY IS GONNA BE RESERVED FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, RETAIL DEVELOPMENT OF SOME KIND.

SO THAT'S A, A PLAN DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION.

AND RIGHT NOW IT'S TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR YOUR FEBRUARY 14TH AGENDA.

UH, ALSO ON THE THAT AGENDA, WE HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR A TOURIST HOME ON MAY'S LANDING IN THE LACKEY AREA.
