Agenda Items: Revisions to the HA Overlay District and Proposed Proffer Amendment for Jordan
Springs
Call to order at 6:30 PM.
Item One: Planner Perkins introduced the first item which was a proposed revision to the Historic
Overlay (HA) Zone which was originally adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 1991. Revisions
included changes to the general regulations, addition of guidelines for construction or alterations and
additions to the administration section. The HRAB discussed the changes and had minor additions
including revisions to the "guidelines for new construction or alterations" to ensure that additions
complement but not replicate historic features as well as text to discotirage franchise architecture.
Revisions were also requested to the signage and parking lot surface material portions. Staff stated that
the changes would be made and emailed to the HRAB and that the revised HA Overlay Zone would be
sent to the Development Review and Regulations Committee (DRRC) for review.
Item Two: Planner Perkins introduced the second item which was a proposed proffer amendment for the
Historic Jordan Springs Property located on Jordan Springs Road. The proposal seeks to revise the
proffers approved with Rezoning #10-01, which rezoned the property from the RA (Rural Areas) District
to the B2 (Business General) District with a Historic Area Overlay with proffers. The property is located
at 1160 Jordan Springs Road in the Stonewall Magisterial District.
The applicant Toni Wallace provided an overview of the current Jordan Springs operation and discussed
some of the uses that they would like to pursue in the future. However at that time Ms. Wallace was not
ready to proceed further because they were still working on revisions to the proffer amendment. During
the HRAB discussion the applicant was encouraged to look at the State and National Register. The
applicant asked for a deferral for up to 120 days.
Action: Historic Resource Advisory Board agreed that they could not provide a recommendation at that
time and granted the applicants request to defer the application.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:30pm.
