  • NOTE TO THE APPLICANT: The Special Use Permit application will be reviewed by the Grayson County Planning Commission at their regular monthly meeting. If recommended for approval, the application will proceed to a review by the Grayson County Board of Supervisors. The application may take 2 - 3 months for approval. The State Code of Virginia, 1950 requires that a Public Hearing be held for both the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors review of a Special Use Permit. A Public Hearing notice will be issued in the paper announcing the Public Hearing and all adjoining landowners will be notified by certified mail. In order to process the request a complete application, required fee, and a current site plan or survey representing the property must be submitted to the Zoning Department at least 3 weeks prior to the Planning Commission meeting date. Applicants are encouraged to research the potential of the site for the ability to meet all local, state and federal regulations prior to applying for a Special Use Permit. This should include a review of the project by Virginia Department of Transportation for the ability to meet commercial entrance requirements, Virginia Department of Health and/or provider of well and septic services, discussion with the Grayson County Building Official, review of Erosion and Sediment Control/Stormwater where land disturbance is proposed. Any changes to the application once it is received by staff, must be submitted at least 7 days prior to the meeting of the Planning Commission. The applicant or a representative must be present at the meeting at which the application for special use permit is considered. If the decision of the Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors is to be appealed, the applicant should submit an appeal of the decision per State Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended.
  • I certify that the information listed on this application is true and correct, to the best of my belief and knowledge. By signing this application I grant permission for an agent of the Zoning Department to visit the site for necessary reviews and inspection.
