SUBJECT
Requested by Olde Dominion Agricultural Foundation, for a Special Use Permit for a campground. The
property is 49.15 acres, located at 19783 US Hwy 29 in the Banister Election District and shown on the Tap
Maps as GPIN # 2417-83-6705.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit to operate a campground on the subject property. The
subject property is zoned A-1, Agricultural District. According to Pittsylvania County Code C 35-179,
campgrounds are allowed by Special Use Permit. Olde Dominion Agricultural Center hosts a variety of
events that draw crowds from all over the East Coast. Due to the lack of available hotel rooms in the
immediate area and the nature of many of their events, ODAC would like to offer carping to their attendees.
A site plan showing the location of the proposed campground, which will include 36 spaces, and all
associated amenities is included in the packet. The site plan, as presented, meets the campground
requirements of FCC § 35-138. If approved, the campground would require a permit from the Virginia
Department of Health before it could become operational.
DIRECTIONS
The address is 19783 US Hwy 29.
