INFORMATION: Trent Stewart, of Arcadia Consulting Engineers, has submitted a Conditional Use Permit, now titled Special Use Permit-A, application seeking to build a 2,850 square foot office building at 1716 Smith Level Road. The application consists of a one story office building with associated stormwater infrastructure and parking. The parcel is identified by Orange County PIN 9776-59-5932. A vicinity map is included as Attachment B.
As review of the project continued over the summer it became evident that the applicant would need to seek a Variance from the Board of Adjustment related to a landscaping buffer along a major road, in accordance with LUO Section 15-312. That matter was heard by the Board of Adjustment on September 15, 2021, at which time a variance was granted allowing for encroachment into the buffer. Now that the Board of Adjustment has granted the variance, project review will continue but the public hearing needs to be delayed for now. Staff will bring forward a new Request to Set the Public Hearing agenda item once project review is complete and a new date is identified.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: None associated with cancelling the public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION:r Town staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached resolution cancelling the public hearing date of September 28, 2021 (Attachment A).
