BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Janet Brooks is requesting to rezone 30.36 acres, from M-1, Industrial District, Light Industry, to A-1, Agricultural District, to allow for a single-family dwelling and agricultural uses on the property. The property is currently vacant. Under the M-1, Industrial District, Light Industry, zoning classification, a single-family dwelling is not a permitted use. The applicant is proposing to eventually build a single-family dwelling on the property. Additionally, the property has historically been used for agricultural purposes; however, this use is considered a legal nonconforming use because it began prior to the adoption of the Pittsylvania County Zoning Ordinance in 1991. Nonconforming uses can continue as is; however, Pittsylvania County Code § 35-161 states that nonconforming uses are deemed abandoned if the use is discontinued for a period of two (2) or more years. The applicant wishes to rezone to ensure that agricultural uses can continue on the property as a conforming use and allow the construction of a single-family dwelling on the property in the future. Once the property is rezoned to A-1, all uses listed under Section 35-178 are a permitted use. FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use as Industrial.
