[00:05:02]

THIS APPLICATION IS A REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO AUTHORIZE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TOURIST HOME IN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING AT ONE 14 BALLARD STREET.

THE PROPERTY IS SITUATED IN A POINT 21 ACRE PARCEL LOCATED IN YORKTOWN VILLAGE ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOUR CALL.

THE SUBJECT PARCEL HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK AND THE SURROUNDING PARCELS ARE ZONED YVA FOR YORKTOWN VILLAGE ACTIVITY.

THIS IS AN AREA VIEW OF THE PROPERTY.

THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES THE OWNER OR PROPRIETOR TO EITHER RESIDE IN THE HOME OR IN AN ADJACENT PREMISE OR DESIGNATE A RESPONSIBLE PARTY WHO CAN RESPOND TO AND RESOLVE PROBLEMS OR COMPLAINTS THAT ARISE WHILE RENTALS ARE TAKING PLACE.

ALSO, BOARD POLICY NUMBER BP 24 DASH 30 STATES THAT THE OWNER OF A TOURIST HOME SHOULD RESIDE EITHER IN THE HOME OR IN AN ADJACENT PREMISE.

THE APPLICANTS HAVE STATED IN THEIR NARRATIVE THAT THEY WILL STAY IN THE HOME WHILE THE HOUSE IS BEING RENTED, MAKING THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THE BOARD POLICY.

A COUPLE OF PICTURES I WANNA SHOW YOU.

UH, THIS IS THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.

THIS IS THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE AND THE DRIVEWAY.

THIS IS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, AND THIS IS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR CALL.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE BACKYARD WITH WHICH FACES KI WATCH.

AND THE, THE DRIVEWAY HERE, UH, YOU SEE IS 170 FEET LONG, 55 FEET WIDE, AND IS CAPABLE OF ACCOMMODATING SEVEN VEHICLES.

HOWEVER, STAFF HAS INCLUDED A CONDITION OF APPROVAL REQUIRING THE APPLICANTS TO MAINTAIN A MINIMUM OF FOUR OFF STREET PARKING SPACES, AND THIS IS WHERE THE TENANTS WOULD BE PARKING.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PARKING, UH, PLAN.

MR. VAN SUBMITTED THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS APPROXIMATELY 2,700 SQUARE FEET.

THE APPLICANT WISHES TO MAKE THE WHOLE HOUSE AVAILABLE TO UP TO FOUR GUESTS AT A TIME, RANGING FROM ONE TO SEVEN NIGHTS, AND THE APPLICANTS, UH, HAVE STATED THAT THE GUESTS WILL BE STAYING IN BEDROOM TWO AND OR BEDROOM FOUR, AND THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO BATHROOM.

TWO.

UH, STAFF HAS PROPOSED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE TOURIST HOME TO BE RENTED AS A WHOLE HOUSE RENTAL.

UH, THE RENTAL OF INDIVIDUAL ROOMS WOULD BE PROHIBITED.

UH, OP OCCUPANCY OF UP TO FOUR GUESTS, INCLUDING CHILDREN AND LENGTHS OF STAY, WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF ONE NIGHT UP TO SEVEN NIGHTS.

IN ADDITION, THE APPLICANT STATED THAT THEY, THEY DO NOT WISH TO HAVE SIGNS ADVERTISING THE TOURIST HOME.

THEREFORE, STAFF HAS PROPOSED A CONDITIONAL OF APPROVAL THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THEM.

AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL MEETS THE STANDARD STANDARDS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TYPE AND INTENSITY OF PREVIOUSLY APPROVED TOURIST HOMES.

STAFF BELIEVES THE ADDITION OF ANOTHER TOURIST HOME IN THIS AREA IS NOT LIKELY TO DEGRADE THE CHARACTER OF THE VILLAGE.

THEREFORE, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION.

STAFF RECOMMENDS THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN PROPOSED RESOLUTION NUMBER PC 24 DASH 21.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND MR. VANCE IS HERE PRESENT FOR, FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO, JUST GLENN, BECAUSE I MIGHT HAVE MISHEARD YOU.

I THOUGHT YOUR, MY GRAPH THERE SAID HAD A, I I THOUGHT YOUR GRAPH SAID IT WAS A WHOLE HOUSE RENTAL.

AND IT'S, SO, IT'S IN THE CONDITIONS.

IT'S A TWO BEDROOM RENTAL.

UM, MR. VANCE IS PROPOSING TO RENT ONLY TWO BEDROOMS. OKAY.

AS OPPOSED TO, UH, SO HE, HE'LL BE RENTING TWO BEDROOMS TO A FAMILY AND THEN, SO HE WOULDN'T BE RENTING FOUR BEDROOMS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

RIGHT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE YOUR, YOUR SLIDES, THE WAY I READ IT WAS, IT WAS A WHOLE HOUSE RENTAL.

SO, SO HE'LL BE RENTING TWO ROOMS AND HE WILL BE STAYING IN, IN A THIRD ROOM AND THE FOURTH ROOM.

WE'RE NOT COMMUNICATING REAL WELL HERE.

SO I'LL, I'LL SHUT UP.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO.

I LIVE AT 1 1 4 BALLARD, UH, STREET.

WE'LL, APPRECIATE THAT AND WITH, UH, THAT WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THE FIRST UP IS THE APPLICANT WHO HAS 10 MINUTES TO SPEAK.

IF YOU WOULD, IF YOU WOULD LIKE , UH, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND, UH, AGAIN, 10 MINUTES.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

UH, GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

UH, MY NAME IS JEFFREY VANCE.

[00:10:01]

AND I'M, YOU KNOW, HERE TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE OF ME, BUT WANT TO LEND A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT OF WHY WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING AND, UM, KIND OF WHO WE ARE AS A FAMILY.

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN MY FAMILY RUNNING AROUND HERE.

THEY WANTED TO COME BY AND SAY HELLO.

UH, 2-YEAR-OLD, A 5-YEAR-OLD, AND MY WIFE.

UM, AND WE CAME TO THIS AREA AROUND 10 YEARS AGO WITH THE MILITARY.

MY WIFE CURRENTLY WORKS AT JEFFERSON LAB.

UM, BUT WE FOUND OURSELVES VERY OFTEN IN THE HISTORIC YORKTOWN DISTRICT 'CAUSE WE LOVE THIS AREA AND IT, IT DOES A LOT FOR US AS A FAMILY.

AND, UM, WHEN THIS HOME CAME UP FOR, FOR AVAILABILITY, WE WANTED TO CERTAINLY CONSIDER MOVING HERE.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE PLANNING TO DO.

AND SO WHAT I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW IS THAT, UH, THIS COMMUNITY, OUR FAMILY COME FIRST AND FOREMOST, WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO WITH THIS SHORT-TERM RENTAL REALLY IS TO BE ABLE TO SHARE IT INTERMITTENTLY WITH OTHER PEOPLE DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR.

WE WILL REMAIN IN THIS HOUSE.

THIS IS OUR HOME, THIS IS OUR FAMILY HOME, AND THIS IS WHAT WE CARE ABOUT.

ANYTHING WE DO IN TERMS OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS, BRINGING PEOPLE INTO THE HOME IS REALLY TO SHARE DURING THOSE SPECIAL TIMES OF THE YEAR.

SO IT WILL BE INTERMITTENT, WE WILL BE ON SITE.

UM, AND IT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS GONNA BE VERY MINIMAL AMOUNTS OF RENTING, WE WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S ABOVE BOARD.

AND WE WERE DOING IT WITH YOUR GUIDANCE AND YOUR DISCRETION AND THAT OF THE SUPERVISORS AS WELL.

UM, WE REALLY WANTED TO SHARE A LOT OF, OF WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE IN HISTORIC YORKTOWN.

AND, UH, WE ALSO WANTED TO, IF WE CAN BRING MORE PEOPLE TO THE AREA, UM, THAT CAN REALLY SHARE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS AREA HAS TO OFFER.

I, I WORK FROM HOME.

I'M A PROFESSIONAL WORKING FROM HOME IN A STARTUP, SO I WILL BE WORKING FROM THAT HOME 20 ALL DAY.

I WILL BE OBVIOUSLY LIVING THERE AT NIGHT.

MY WIFE WILL BE AT JEFFERSON LAB.

OUR KIDS WILL BE GOING TO YORKTOWN SCHOOL.

SO, UM, JUST WANTED TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF THAT COLOR COMMENTARY AS TO, TO WHY WE WERE DOING THIS AGAIN.

UH, WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE, UH, FROM WHAT WE PROPOSED.

UM, AND AGAIN TO, TO WHAT THE TEAM HERE HAS PUT TOGETHER I BEYOND APPRECIATIVE FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP IN, IN GETTING THIS ACROSS THE LINE TO THIS POINT.

AND WE WILL ONLY BE RENTING TWO ROOMS OUT TO A SINGLE FAMILY, LET'S SAY.

IT WILL NOT BE RENTED INDIVIDUALLY TO ONE AND ANOTHER AND THINGS ALONG THOSE LINES.

SO, UM, I HOPE THAT ANSWERS ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OR PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT, BUT I AM OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM FOR YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

YEAH.

WE APPRECIATE YOU GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, THAT'S IMPORTANT.

SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SMALL ONE.

MR. VANCE, JUST CURIOUS AND HOW WILL YOU BE ADVERTISING THIS THROUGH WHAT MEANS OR METHODS? GREAT QUESTION.

UM, TO BE DETERMINED RIGHT NOW IT'S EITHER THERE IS A POTENTIAL, WE DO AIRBNB, BUT IT WOULD BE VERY INTERMITTENTLY IF WE DID BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GONNA OPENLY ADVERTISE ALL THESE DATES.

UM, THERE ARE ALSO DIFFERENT FRIENDS AND FAMILIES WE HAVE AROUND THAT ARE VERY INTERESTED IN HISTORIC AREAS AND WE MAY JUST GO DIRECT TO THEM THROUGH CERTAIN WAYS, BUT LARGE, LARGELY IT'D PROBABLY BE AIRBNB OR EVEN VRBO WHEN WE WANT TO PUT IT ON THE MARKET.

OF COURSE.

MR. TITUS? SIR? I HAVE NO, NO.

UH, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS? I DON'T HAVE ANY, UH, APPLICANTS OR, OR ANYONE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK.

UH, WITH THAT WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO, UH, ANY COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS? UH, I I THINK IT'S A VERY THOROUGH, UH, APPLICATION.

IT CERTAINLY MEETS, UH, ALL OF OUR TYPICAL REQUIREMENTS, UM, VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AND I THINK IT'LL BE A GOOD ADDITION FOR THE VILLAGE.

MR. BRIX? YEAH, I THINK IT BRINGS A LOT OF ATMOSPHERE TO YORKTOWN.

THE, THE VILLAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT HISTORICALLY AND FOR EVEN LOCALS.

AND I, I APPLAUD YOU FOR TAKING ON THIS ENDEAVOR.

SO I I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THIS.

MR. CHAIRMAN.

I AGREE WITH MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS AND SURPRISINGLY I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO ADD.

DISAPPOINT ME.

, MR. TITUS, I'LL BE EVEN SHORTER.

I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD.

ON TO OUR NEXT HEARING, UH, WHICH, UH, KIND OF CIRCLES US BACK AROUND TO, UH, DATA WAREHOUSES.

WITH THAT, UH, IS THERE A MOTION MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE SEND APPLICATION FOR, LEMME GET THE RIGHT NUMBER OVER HERE.

PC 24 DASH 21 TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR APPROVAL.

ROLL CALL PLEASE.

A MOTION BY MR. TITUS IS TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 24 PC 24 DASH 21 TO APPROVE YOURTOWN VILLAGE ACTIVITY TO AUTHORIZE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TOURISM HOME AND ONE 14 BALLARD STREET.

ALRIGHT, UH, APPRECIATE THAT.

AND WITH THAT WE'LL MOVE

[Application No. ZT-200-24, York County Planning Commission: Consider amendments to the York County Zoning Ordinance to add a definition to Section 24.1-104, the use to the Table of Land Uses in Section 24.1-306 (Category 15, No. 15), and performance standards to Section 24.1- 488 for data centers. Continued from the September 11, 2024 Planning Commission meeting.]

[00:15:01]

SO, UH, PLEASE.

GOOD EVENING.

THIS APPLICATION IS A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE YORK COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE TO INCORPORATE PROVISIONS CONCERNING DATA CENTERS.

YOU HEARD THIS APPLICATION DURING THE SEPTEMBER 11TH MEETING AND CONTINUED IT TO TONIGHT.

DURING THE SEPTEMBER MEETING, WE PRESENTED, UH, YOU WITH A REVISED RESOLUTION THAT CONTAINED A NUMBER OF STANDARDS PROVIDED BY THE COUNTY'S DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY OR FLS FOR SHORT.

SINCE THEN, THE PLANNING DIVISION AND FLS WORKED TOGETHER TO REFINE THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS.

UH, SINCE YOU ALREADY HEARD THE FULL PRESENTATION IN SEPTEMBER, I'M ONLY GONNA DISCUSS THE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES THAT WERE MADE IN THE INTERIM.

SO RETURNING TO THE SAFETY PROVISION, SECTION FLS PUBLISHED A SET OF STANDARDS FOR DATA CENTERS TITLED YORK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY STANDARDS FOR DATA CENTERS.

A COPY OF WHICH YOU RECEIVED IN YOUR PACKET, FLS AGREED TO MOVE THE STANDARDS FROM THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO A SEPARATE GUIDELINES DOCUMENT, WHICH THEY WILL PUBLISH ON THE COUNTY'S WEBSITE.

DATA CENTER DEVELOPERS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION DESCRIBING HOW THE PROPOSED DATA CENTER WOULD ADDRESS THE GUIDELINES.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PROVISIONS WE AGREED SHOULD REMAIN IN THE ORDINANCE, INCLUDING SECTION H TWO, WHICH PROHIBITS PARKING SPACES FROM BEING LOCATED WITHIN 30 FEET OF THE BUILDING TO ALLOW FIRE APPARATUS UNOBSTRUCTED ACCESS.

AND SECTION H THREE, WHICH REQUIRES DRY VIALS TO BE DESIGNED WITH THE MINIMUM TURNING RADIUS OF 33 FEET TO ACCOMMODATE ALL YORK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY APPARATUS.

SO IN CLOSING, THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE ALLOWS DATA CENTERS ONLY BY SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, LIMITED INDUSTRIAL AND GENERAL INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS, AND MAKES THEM SUBJECT TO PERFORMANCE STANDARDS THAT WOULD ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS A DATA CENTER MIGHT HAVE ON THE SURROUNDING AREA.

THE PROPOSED PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, UH, ADDRESS, ENERGY AND WATER USAGE, NOISE GENERATION, SETBACKS AND BUFFERS, ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS AND SAFETY PROVISIONS.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER PC 24 DASH NINE R TWO.

AND, BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND, UH, DEPUTY CHIEF BALDWIN IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM STAFF OR FOR STAFF? UH, JUST CAN YOU REFRESH US ON WHAT, WHAT DELAYED US THE FIRST TIME WHEN WE LOOKED FOR THIS? I MEAN, THERE WERE SOME CHANGES THAT WERE MADE.

SOME, YES.

SO THE FIRST TIME THAT WE CAME HERE, UH, WE HAD A REVISED RESOLUTION.

WE HAD JUST RECEIVED SOME STANDARDS FROM FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY, UM, THE DAY BEFORE, I BELIEVE, OR THAT DAY.

MM-HMM.

UM, SO WE, UH, WE PUT THE MEETING ON, WE TABLED THE MEETING SO THAT WE COULD, UM, HAVE MORE TIME TO GO OVER THAT WITH DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY.

HEY, UH, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? CHIEF, APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

SO, SIR, MR. CHAIRMAN OF COMMISSION, THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS.

REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

UH, WITH THAT WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS? UH, SEEING NONE WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND, UH, ANY COMMENTS BY, UH, COMMISSIONERS OR SHOULD WE JUST MOVE A MOTION? I'LL HAVE THE ONLY COMMENT, PLEASE.

AND I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON DATA CENTERS.

THE CONCERN WAS THAT THEY CAN JUST BE PACKED UP AND LEAVE VERY QUICKLY.

AND IF THEIR UTILITIES OR IF THE COUNTY PUTS ANY MONEY FORWARD TO SUPPORT THESE CENTERS, WE GOTTA BE VERY CAREFUL OF THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN JUST UP AND LEAVE AND, AND WE'RE STUCK WITH THE BILL.

WELL, ALL THE BILL SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO THE OWNERS OF THE, OF THE DATA DATA CENTER.

THAT'S THE ONLY BAD RESEARCH I FOUND ON THAT.

OKAY, MR. BROOKS? YEAH, ONE THING THAT WAS CONCERNING ME TOO, I, I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL SAW IT, BUT I READ AN ARTICLE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO ABOUT DATA CENTERS AND THE LOCALITY IN AND DOMINION POWER SAYING PRETTY MUCH IN 10 YEARS, EVERYBODY'S BILLS GONNA GO UP 50% TO SUPPORT THESE DATA CENTERS.

UH, THAT WAS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW THAT OR, BUT THEY, THAT WAS WAVY 10.

PUT THAT OUT.

AND I'VE SEEN THESE DATA CENTERS, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THE LAST MEETING UP IN STERLING, VIRGINIA AND PRINCE WILLIAM VIRGINIA.

THEY ARE, THEY'RE NOT PRETTY BUILDINGS.

THEY, THEY ARE, UH, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CONCERNS ME A LITTLE BIT, IS HOW WE GONNA CONTROL THAT IF WE COULD CONTROL THAT.

THEY'RE JUST GIGANTIC BUTLER BUILDINGS WITH SIX TO EIGHT EMPLOYEES IN THERE.

AND, AND THEY DO TAKE A LOT OF RESOURCES AS FAR AS WATER AND, UH, POWER.

AND, AND I WOULD, UH, THAT, THAT IS A LITTLE CONCERNING FOR ME.

BUT, UH, I KNOW WE ALL WANT 'EM 'CAUSE WE ALL USE 'EM.

AND, UH, THAT IS SOMETHING I THINK IN THE, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, IF, UH, I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD TALK TO DOMINION POWER AND JUST SAY, HEY, YOU CHARGE THEM MORE.

YOU DON'T CHARGE THE RESIDENTS FOR, TO SUPPORT THESE CENTERS.

BUT,

[00:20:01]

YEAH, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU.

UH, JUST TO ADDRESS, UH, SOME OF MR. BROOKS' COMMENTS, UH, I'M AWARE OF THAT AS WELL.

HOWEVER, I KNOW THE INDUSTRY IN ITSELF IS, UH, AMAZON, ALL THE BIG PLAYERS, MICROSOFT, THEY'RE DEVELOPING THEIR OWN ENERGY, UH, SUPPLIES, WHETHER IT'S, UH, UH, TRYING TO GET THIS, UH, SMALL MO MODULAR, NUCLEAR, UH, UH, ENERGY PRODUCTION BUYING, UH, UH, WIND POWER CREDITS.

UH, SO THE INDUSTRY IS AWARE OF THIS AND THE HIGH DEMAND FOR THE USES.

SO, AND MOST OF THE BIG PLAYERS HAVE A, UM, A WELL THOUGHT OUT GAME PLAN OF PROVIDING THEIR, UH, HELPING TO PROVIDE EITHER JOINTLY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH, UH, STATES, UH, AND REGIONAL ENERGY PROVIDERS OR PROVIDING IT THEMSELVES BECAUSE IT'S GONNA PREVENT THEM FROM, UH, GOING INTO THESE MARKETS AND, AND GONNA HELP REDUCE THE COST.

SO, BUT HAVING SAID THAT, AND PUT THAT ASIDE, I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS, UH, UH, CHANGE TO THE, UH, ZONING ORDINANCE.

THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.

NOTHING, NOTHING TO ADD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT.

APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS.

AND, UH, WITH THAT WE'LL TAKE A MOTION.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE FORWARD PC 24 18, UH, R TWO TO THE PLANT, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR APPROVAL.

THAT ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP.

ROLL CALL PLEASE.

AND MR. BY MR. SMITH IS TO APPROVE RESOLUTION PC 24 DASH 18 R TWO TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE YORK COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE TO ADDRESS DATA CENTERS.

AND APPRECIATE STAFF'S WORK IN, UH, GOING BACK AND RECONCILE, UH, THE, THE THINGS WITH THE FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY.

SO WE APPRECIATE THAT.

UH, WITH THAT, UH, WE'LL

MR. TITUS HAS TO BE THE HAPPIEST AMONG YOU FOR THAT.

UH, HE WILL, AS YOU WILL CALL, HE WAS THE, UH, CHAIR OF OUR COMMITTEE, UM, FOR HOME-BASED BUSINESS FOR, UM, MANY MONTHS.

AND THEN HE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN A SMALLER AD HOC COMMITTEE AT THE BOARD'S REQUEST, UM, TO TRY TO IRON OUT THE FINAL ISSUES WITH THAT ORDINANCE.

I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT EFFORT AND THAT WAS ADOPTED IN OCTOBER.

SO, UM, THE BOARD AT THAT SAME MEETING DENIED A TOURIST HOME ON ROLLING HILLS DRIVE THAT YOU HAD RECOMMENDED.

AND, UH, THEY ALSO APPROVED A MINOR AMENDMENT TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SPECIAL USE PERMIT THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2015 TO ADJUST THE TIMING OF A BUS ACCOMMODATION FOR A SENIOR HOUSING FACILITY ON OLD MOTOWN ROAD.

UM, UPCOMING CASES FOR YOU IN DECEMBER INCLUDE ANOTHER TOURIST HOME APPLICATION IN YORKTOWN VILLAGE, SHOCKER AT 6 0 6 MAIN STREET.

UM, AND WE ALSO ANTICIPATE BRINGING YOU SOME ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS, UM, POTENTIALLY WITH REGARD TO ADULT USES.

SO, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF LIGHT READING.

UM, SITE PLANS OF INTEREST FOR YOU INCLUDE.

UH, WE JUST RECEIVED THE APPLICATION FOR KING'S CREEK SOLAR, WHICH IS ON 79 ACRES AT 1801 PENMAN ROAD, THAT'S A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SPECIAL USE PERMIT, UM, FROM 2019 THAT HAS JUST BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY AS A SITE PLAN.

THAT'S PHASE TWO B AND THEN PHASE TWO A OF THE TRANQUILITY SUBDIVISION FOR A THIRD ADDITIONAL 30 LOTS.

MS. CASTLES YOU HAVE, UH, JUST I'M CURIOUS, BACK ON THE ROLLING HILLS, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAD APPROVED THE, THE TOURIST HOME.

WHAT DO YOU RECALL THE SUP BOARD OF SUPERVISORS? WHAT THEIR OBJECTION WAS? IT DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE GUIDELINES THAT THE BOARD HAD ADOPTED.

UM, SPECIFICALLY WITH REGARD TO WHERE THE HOMEOWNER WOULD LIVE.

THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE, UM, A COUPLE WHO HAD, UH, ADULT PARENT, YOU KNOW, OR THEIR PARENTS WERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN PENNSYLVANIA AND THEY WANTED TO GO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PARENTS AND WHILE THEY WERE OUT OF TOWN, THEY WERE GOING TO, UH, RENT THEIR HOME.

AND THAT IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE BOARD'S GUIDELINES.

APPRECIATE, SO THEY RECOMMENDED AGAINST IT.

UH, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SO, NO.
