<*p(0,0,0,9.6,0,0,g,"U.S. English")><*J>Pursuant to the Code of Virginia, the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors will conduct a Public Hearing on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the Colonial Courthouse, 6504 Main Street, Gloucester, Virginia to consider the following:
<*p(0,0,0,9.6,0,0,g,"U.S. English")><*J>CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP-26-05
<*p(0,0,0,9.6,0,0,g,"U.S. English")><*J>An application by Main Street Properties, L.C. (Mac Houtz, applicant) to allow TM 32A2(2)Bk-I-33 and 32A2(2)Bk I-34 (RPC #11389 and 23685) to be used as a Mobile Food Vendor Court through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The CUP is intended to provide for uses which, due to their unique characteristics or potential impact on adjacent land uses, are not permitted in certain zoning districts by-right but may be acceptable under certain circumstances and with specific conditions to offset potential impacts.
<*p(0,0,0,9.6,0,0,g,"U.S. English")><*J>The application proposes to allow for the establishment of a Mobile Food Vendor Court on TM 32A2(2)Bk I-33 and 32A2(2) I-34, located at the southeast corner of Clements Avenue (SR 1001) and Main Street (Business Route 17) in the Ware Magisterial District. These parcels are located in the B-2 (Village Mixed Use) Zoning District and Mobile Food Vendor Courts are permitted by CUP in this district. The proposed mobile food court will consist of one mobile food vendor with associated seating and other amenities. This district aims to provide for the orderly growth and development of selected retail sales, office, service, and public use establishments, as well as compatible and supportive residential uses primarily oriented to central business concentrations in and around village areas. Furthermore, this district intends to foster village-scale commercial, higher density residential, and mixed-use developments in and around historic activity centers while encouraging pedestrian activity, interconnected streets, walkways, and bikeways, and uses served by public water and sewer.
<*p(0,0,0,9.6,0,0,g,"U.S. English")><*J>The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as Village Scale Mixed Use within the Development District. In addition, the Gloucester Court House Village Sub-Area Plan identifies this area as Historic Main Street Mixed-Use. The Village Scale Mixed Use designation can support commercial development in a pedestrian-oriented village-scale environment with street lights, sidewalks, and crosswalks, among other features. The Development District coincides with areas that are the County’s principal population, service, and employment center and are served by public water and sewer facilities. In addition, this designation should minimize impacts on local roads. The Historic Main Street Mixed-Use designation contains mixed-use, infill commercial development with a pedestrian orientation along the historic business area of Main Street.
<*p(0,0,0,9.6,0,0,g,"U.S. English")><*J>The Planning Commission reviewed various Conditions of Approval proposed by staff for the Board of Supervisors to consider, including use and layout, connection to public utilities, hours of operation, buffers, lighting, noise, waster management, off site parking provided at 6688 Main Street, and signage. The Board of Supervisors may require additional conditions as they deem necessary. The applicant has requested that the Planning Commission recommend that the Board of Supervisors approve a waiver of the requirement for the preliminary plan to be prepared by a licensed professional pursuant to Section 14-3(4)(a) of the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission supported this request due to the size of the site and the fact that no permanent structures are proposed.
<*p(0,0,0,9.6,0,0,g,"U.S. English")><*J>The preceding is a summary, not the full text, of the application. It is not intended to be a comprehensive representation of the full application and does not substitute for the full text of the application, which is available for review on the web at www.gloucesterva.gov/publichearings, and in the County Administrator’s Office at 6489 Main Street, Gloucester, Virginia.
