What actions were taken at the start of the meeting to adopt the calendar?
All right, we have a busy night, so I thought we'd start on time. I'd like to call to order the April 24th, 2025 Transportation and Land Use Committee special meeting. This room has a hearing loop. If you need hearing assistance, switch your hearing aids to telecoil mode. If you need a headset, we have those available as well. Please see the clerk to request one. For this special meeting, committee members will be allowed two minutes each for questions. and we will first address the action item on tonight's agenda. So I have staff here. I think Mr. Wilson will start us off with the presentation, and then we'll go to questions. Thank you.
Thank you, Chair. To Crony, we are here to discuss the Western Loudoun Rural Uses and Standards. meeting tonight. However, before we get into the stakeholder meeting, we did have the one action item that we wanted to have addressed. Looking at the schedule, obviously there's seven stakeholder meetings planned for this project. At this time, we have established dates for future meetings number four, five, and six, being June 18th for wineries, limited breweries, and limited distilleries, September 30th for the mountainside overlay district and signage, and November 5th for food trucks, food service, and rural restaurants. We would ask that the TLEC recommend those dates to the board for official adoption into the calendar.
Thank you.
Some of these meetings aren't gonna be, some of them aren't gonna be able to be like tonight, right? 3.30, some action items, and then five o'clock, rural uses?
Yes.
Okay.
The first meeting, the June 18th meeting, there's the regular TLUC meeting, then the western Loudoun TLUC meeting. The September and November meeting are standalone meetings, I believe.
Okay. September. All right. Any discussion on the schedule? So do I need to make a motion or can we just?
Yes,
please. Okay, so I'd like to make a motion to adopt the calendar for the remainder of the year for TLOC. Second. Second, okay. Okay, all those in favor, please say aye. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Discussion on the motion.
Discussion on the motion. Chair Rendon, excuse me. Discussion on the motion. Okay. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Okay. Any opposed? Okay. That motion passes 5-0. Thank you very much for that. And now we're going to go into our item for tonight,
the
Western Loudoun.
Thank you, Madam Chair. As stated previously, this is the Western Loudon Rural Uses and Standards Stakeholder Meeting number three. Tonight, we are going to be focusing on agritourism, agritainment, lodging uses, conservation, easement density issue, as well as an issue regarding sawmills and the location of agricultural structures when they're non-conforming, the opportunity for them to be rebuilt. This is the third meeting. The first two meetings were held, the first one being in November of 2024, second meeting in January. Last meeting we discussed agricultural processing as well as various lodging issues related to farm housing. And essentially this is a continuation of of the issues that we had adopted in the original project plan.
Third meeting tonight is going to entail several issues that may lead into other issues in the future. So I would like to point out to TLUC that we want to stay on track. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss these specific items regarding the agritainment, agritourism, bed and breakfast consistency, our definition, sawmills and conservation easement density. Things like definitions as well as the lodging discussion as well as events may have ramifications going forward for some of the other discussions. So we wanna make sure that we do recognize that that occurs. Staff is taking notes and we're going to ensure that we keep these discussions consistent and the issues heard tonight will be logged for the future discussions.
So even though there are overlapping issues, we wanna make sure that everybody stays focused and on topic tonight, we will revisit any of those issues that are relevant to the future meetings at that time. With that, I would like to turn it over to Dave Schniggenberg, who will talk about some of the zoning ordinance standards that we are going to be discussing tonight that are relevant to the topics on the agenda, thank you.
