Finance Committee
September 20, 2022
Section 8 of the County’s Budget Resolution, passed on April 11, 2022, covers appropriations
for Capital Projects. As the Section states, “appropriations designated for Capital Projects will
not lapse at the end of the Fiscal Year but shall remain appropriated until the completion of the
Project or until the Board of Supervisors, by appropriate Ordinance or Resolution, changes or
eliminates the appropriation.” The Board was provided with a list of Capital Improvement
Projects that existed in the Capital Improvements Fund (Fund 310), Economic Development
Fund (Fund 325), Water and Sewer Fund (Fund 501), and the Landfill Fund (Fund 520) in the
FY 2020 County Budget, along with new Projects that were included in the FY 2023 Budget.
e. FY23 Contingency Fund Discussion (Staff Contact: Kimberly G. Van Der Hyde)
During the County Budget process, a total of $982,309 was placed in the Board’s Contingency
Fund. Several items were budgeted here, because the Board had not decided about the funding
of several items in Departmental Budgets. A total of $505,000 has been moved from the
Contingency Line Item to match the DRF Grant for the County Administrator’s National Search
($5,000) and for the new General Reassessment being performed by Pearson’s Appraisal
Services ($500,000). The balance currently stands at $477,309. Warren clarified there was no
required match for the County Administrator Search; the contract was approved at an amount
larger than what was received from the Grant. Van Der Hyde also stated the $48,934 for the
Clerk’s position, and the $40,000 for DCC’s CDL simulator, would come from this contingency
fund.
Motion to recommend to the full Board approval of the Contingency funds as discussed in the
Finance Committee.

f. 2023 Budget Amendments - FY 22 Carryover Funds Discussion (Staff Contact:
Kimberly G. Van Der Hyde)
Virginia Code § 15.2-2507 states that “Any locality may amend its budget to adjust the aggregate
amount to be appropriated during the current fiscal year as shown in the currently adopted
budget as prescribed by section 15.2-2504. However, any such amendment which exceeds one
percent of the total expenditures shown in the currently adopted budget must be accomplished by
publishing a notice of a meeting and a public hearing once in a newspaper having general
circulation in that locality at least seven days prior to the meeting date.” An advertisement of the
County Budget Amendments appeared in the Chatham Star Tribune on August 31, 2022, which
satisfies the seven (7)-day legal notice requirement.
Motion to forward to the full Board to pull all Public Safety monies to be discussed separately,
and to add the $153,000 for ETC ADA building upgrades to the 310 Account.

continued success of many County students. Layton Wilson and Blake Hughes, PCTC alumni,
spoke on the Precision Machining Technology Program and how it helped them with the
knowledge and experience to take control of their futures. They spoke on the repairs needed and
the effect these funds would have on PCTC and how it would allow them to expand, not only the
building, but the programs it offers as well.

HEARING OF THE CITIZENS
Irvin Moss, Westover District, stated he is a sixty-five (65) year- old lifelong resident of the
Vandola Community, and he shared his opposition on the casino and the RV park in his
community.
Bonnie Moss, Westover District, shared her opposition for the RV park. She is worried about
the traffic, safety, and dangers that will surround this potential RV park.
Carolyn Bagley, Tunstall District, shared her concerns regarding schools and asked the Board to
make it clear to the School Board that history will be taught rightly and thoroughly, and that
every trace of gender identity and Marxist economics be completely removed from the public
schools of the County.
Bob Carlberg, Staunton River District, responded to Warren’s challenge at last month’s Board
Meeting regarding why someone may vote against the school’s 1% Sales Tax Referendum. He
stated his main issue is how it is being presented, and there is no guarantee that the citizens will
not see a personal property tax increase in addition to the 1% sales tax increase. He also stated
this would make us the highest sales tax County in the Commonwealth of Virginia. He also
shared concerns regarding the Board’s Code of Ethics.

planning a formal dedication for the sign in November. She also shared information from
George Henderson regarding the 8th Annual Pittsylvania County Sports Hall of Fame Induction
and Banquet that will be held on November 13, 2022, at the Tuscarora Country Club.
Marvin Hylton, Westover District, shared his concerns regarding the potential RV park coming
to his community. He is concerned about the increased traffic, trash, and additional strain that it
will have on the local Fire Departments. His main concern is the property values in this area,
and he does not believe that Vandola Church Road is compatible with an RV park.
Claudia Jones notified the Board that they are holding a conference, United, We Stand for
America, on October 21, 2022, at Motley’s Mill Waterfall Estate. They will have international
speakers and will also provide a lunch.
Ben Meeks, Callands-Gretna District, stated he has been a volunteer in the County for thirteen
(13) years and asked the Board to support funding the 5% increase for the block funding for the
Fire and Rescue Volunteer Agencies. This increase is needed to continue operations and battle
the inflation increases. This increase has been voted on by the County’s Fire and Rescue
Association and the Fire and Rescue Commission. He also mentioned the 990 forms and stated
the IRS is behind at getting these posted online but most stations have a copy on hand.
Alan Casper, Banister District, also spoke on Fire and Rescue and asked the Board to support the
increased funding. He thanked the Board for listening and challenged them to prove him wrong
by doing the right thing for the volunteer Fire and Rescue Agencies.
Scott Burke, Westover District, shared is opposition on the RV park in the Vandola Community.
He is concerned about public safety and the changing of the County’s landscape, and he feels
this RV park will place a tremendous burden on the surrounding Fire and Rescue Agencies. He
stated policing of the park and access will be a danger to the community and he asked the Board
to vote “no” to this.
Barbara Hancock, Callands-Gretna District, spoke against the COVID-19 vaccine.
Sandra Meyer, Chatham-Blairs District, spoke against the COVID-19 vaccine.
Arlene Pilcer, Callands-Gretna District, shared her concerns regarding the logging and tractor

events in attempting to get this issue resolved.

a. Hurt Partners Landfill Amended Tipping Fee Waiver Approval (Staff Contact:
Matthew D. Rowe)
Due to intense prospect interest at the Southern Virginia Multimodal Park (“SVMP”) in Hurt,
Virginia, Hurt Partners, LLC, the property owners, have agreed to proactively remove
nonhazardous construction debris located onsite and dispose of the material at the County
Landfill. This work is being done at Hurt Partners’ cost and is a significant cost savings to the
Staunton River Regional Industrial Facility Authority (“SRRIFA”). Hurt Partners has requested
that the Board waive the Landfill Tipping Fees associated with the cleanup at the property in a
sign of partnership. The value of the County waiving its Landfill Tipping Fees would be
reflected in the due-to-from contributions of SRRIFA. At the June Business Meeting, as a
Consent Agenda item, the Board previously agreed to waive County Landfill Tipping Fees for
Hurt Partners’ cleanup, with an estimated revenue value of $82,000. Hurt Partners is now
seeking an additional waiver of related County Landfill Tipping Fees.
Hurt Partners is funding and completing the cleanup of non-hazardous construction debris at the
SVMP property. The County would be waiving additional future Landfill Tipping Fees with an
estimated revenue value of $164,000 (total, includes the previously waived County Landfill
Tipping Fees of $72,325.64).
Motion to approve waiving the additional future Landfill Tipping Fees for a total of no more than
$164,000, which includes the previously waived County Landfill Tipping Fees of $72,325.64.

c. Public Safety Appropriation
Van Der Hyde stated that she was able to identify some monies that were available to be used
instead of using the FY23 funding that has been placed in the Contingency Budget, for Public
Safety items. One was to move the EMS call amount from $15 to $25, which totaled $77,500,
based on the call volume they have now. The other portion was $97,000 to increase the base
amount for the matrix, which varied from agency to agency.
Warren clarified that there was no Fire and Rescue Department that had any carryover money.
He also applauded the agencies who have already signed the Agreement and stated he would like
for them to get their money right away. He stated that he supports Fire and Rescue, but it is time
to put petty politics aside, and that he will be voting no to this item tonight.
Scearce stated he will vote no on this issue also and it comes down to transparency and
accountability, and until those protocols are put back in place he will not vote for any extra
funding for Fire and Rescue. He stated they have a responsibility to the citizens of the County to
be able to show where the funding goes.
Dalton stated he agrees and disagrees with some of the comments made tonight. He stated he
could never thank the volunteers enough for the time they put in for the County. He just voted to
support $164,000 for a tipping fee and he doesn’t have an issue with voting for $97,000.
Warren stated on the $164,000 there is no lost revenue on that, just the space. He agreed that, if
there is an emergency where Fire and Rescue is needed, he would want them to show up, but he
would also like for the Sheriff’s Department to show up if there was a break in or such; and all
their costs have increased also. The Contingency Funds were because all the other Departments
did not spend their money and there was some left over.
Ingram stated that the County has never failed an audit, and he agreed that being held
accountable is very important. He feels that you cannot put a price on the Fire and Rescue
volunteers that must leave their homes to serve the community. He supports this item, and he
respects his colleagues decisions.
Warren asked Van Der Hyde if the County audits dive into the reporting side of things, and she
stated that it is just our side of the audit.
Motion to approve the EMS call increase in the amount of $77,500 and the base amount for the
matrix at $97,000.

Agenda Date: October 18, 2022 Item Number: 7.f
Attachment(s):
Reviewed By:
SUMMARY:
On October 1, 2022, Hurricane Ian moved through the County. Ian caused minor damage to
some structures and blew over trees and limbs. So as not to put an undue burden on its citizens,
in the recent past, the County has waived tipping fees for Hurricane-caused debris such as brush,
trees, and stumps brought to the County Landfill by County citizens. The County Landfill did
accept such debris free of charge for a period of two (2) weeks after Ian.
FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE:
The financial impact of allowing the disposal of Ian-caused debris at the County Landfill has
been minimal.
RECOMMENDATION:
County Staff recommends the Board ratify the approval to waive the County Landfill tipping
fees for Ian-caused debris as it has done in the recent past.
MOTION:
“I make a Motion to ratify the approval of waiving any County Landfill tipping fees associated

SUMMARY:
The County and the City of Danville, Virginia (“Danville”) worked with its local state
representatives to draft legislation which was ultimately approved by the General Assembly as
House Bill (“HB”) 184. This legislation enables stormwater management permitting and
approval for RIFA properties to be administered by a participating locale if that locale has “opted
in” to administer the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (“VSMP”) locally. The County
has not “opted in,” while Danville has, meaning that Danville will be able to review, approve,
and administer VSMP permits for SR RIFA properties; thereby, greatly reducing permitting and
review times for stormwater permits from up to ninety (90) days (as currently is done with the
State) to as little as ten (10) days (or possibly even less). Per HB 184, all participating locales
and the VADEQ must execute an administration agreement. For the Board’s review and
consideration, said Agreement is attached. Finally, the attached Agreement has already been
approved to form by all parties.
FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
County Economic Development Staff recommends the Board approve the execution of
Agreement as attached and presented.
MOTION:
“I make a Motion to approve the execution of the Agreement as attached and presented.”

2. Consistency with the Pittsylvania County Code & Ordinances
The purpose of this application submittal package is to redesignate a portion of the
subject property or approximately 91 acres, more specifically, Parcel Id: 1387-39-6322,
1387-29-6555 and 1388-30-6852, from (R-1) Residential District to (A-1) Agriculture
District with the required Special Use Permit as per sections 35.177 and 35.179
respectively, to develop a high-end luxury RV resort in accordance with Chapter 35.138
of the Pittsylvania County Code & Ordinance, consisting of 454 sites, a lake, bar & grille
and other recreational amenities. A Conceptual Master Site Plan has been submitted for
the proposed luxury RV resort as part of this amendment application submittal.
Although Chapter 35.138 of the County Code governs the standards for development of
an RV resort or campground in Pittsylvania County, it does not provide for the setback
requirements to adjacent residential use, living quarters or to a residential district
boundary. The only applicable setback requirements for the RV resort can be found in
Section 35.177 (A-1) Agriculture District, the appropriate and only zoning district within
the Comprehensive Plan that allows for the development of an RV resort or campground
under Section 35.179 as a Special Use Permit. The A-1 District provides setback
requirements as follows: front setback to be a minimum of 60 feet or 35 feet from the
edge of a public ROW, side setbacks to be a minimum of 10 feet and rear setbacks to be
a minimum of 40 feet. The Conceptual Site Plan and Pittsylvania County GIS Maps show
that the subject property is surrounded by R-1 Residential District on a portion of the west
and south perimeter of the property, A-1 Agriculture District on the south-east perimeter
of the subject property and two applicant owned commercial parcels that will be used as
the entrance or access to the resort from Riverside Drive along the north perimeter of the
property. The subject property is densely wooded with forestall trees. See Exhibit E for
adjoining surrounding land uses.
In an effort to protect surrounding neighbors and mitigate any intensity that may arise,
the Conceptual Site Plan shows that the side setbacks of undisturbed forestall tree
10.A.4.b
Packet Pg. 96 Attachment: R-22-029 The Palace Resort App (3412 : Public Hearing: Case R-22-029: J Cubas Holdings, LLC)
18
coverage range from a minimum of 100 feet to 530 feet when taken from the edge of the
private ROW to the east boundary line of the subject property. The rear setback of
undisturbed forestall tree coverage is 82 feet from the edge of the private ROW to the
edge of the public ROW (Vandola Church Road) or 112 feet from the nearest RV lot line.
The setback of undisturbed forestall tree coverage on the east side of the property that
abuts to the A-1 District ranges from 102 feet to 206 feet from the edge of the private
ROW to the property line or 132 feet and 236 feet respectively, from the edge of the RV
lot line up to the lake to the property line. North of the lake, the minimum setback ranges
from 85 feet to 115 feet respectively, thereafter. The setback of undisturbed forestall tree
coverage on the north-east corner ranges from 80 feet to 150 feet from the edge of the
private ROW to the property line or 110 feet and 180 feet respectively, from the RV lot
line to the property line. The setback of undisturbed forestall tree coverage along the
north perimeter of the subject property is a minimum of 150 feet from the edge of the
private ROW to the subject property line. The Conceptual Site Plan shows that the
setbacks provided are much greater than the most restrictive districts in the County Code;
B-2 Business District, M-1 Light Industrial District and M-2 Heavy Industrial District , which
only require front setbacks of 35 feet, side setbacks of 20 feet and rear setbacks of 50 feet,
respectively.
In accordance with County Code Chapter 35.138. 2(a), Recreational Vehicle Parks, RV
sites, lots or spaces shall be no less than 1600 square feet and no site shall be less than
25 feet in width. The Conceptual Site Plan calls for a total of 454 RV sites with three types
of sites. The back-in sites are 1,991 square feet with a minimum width of 30. The Pull-
Thru sites 3,982 square feet with the minimum width of 30 feet and the Premium sites
with “Casitas” are 5,308 square feet with a minimum width of 40 feet. Additionally, the
minimum size for a campground shall be on a property no less than 3 acres. The portion
of the property subject to this rezoning application submittal is 91 acres.

In accordance with Section 2.d., the maximum density allowed for this district is 20 sites
per acre. The Conceptual Site Plan calls for a total of 454 sites or 5 sites per acre, well
below the requirements of Section 2.d.
Section 2.e. provides for Minimum Yard Dimensions. A separation distance of (10) feet is
required between units set on RV lots and adjacent lot lines. Front yards, that portion of
the lot between the unit and a public or private street in the campground, shall be no less
than twenty (20) feet in depth which shall include the distance from the unit to the right-
of-way line for the street. The Conceptual Site Plan shows that the separation distance

between units is at least, 20 feet for adjacent lot lines. Additionally, due to the length in
size of the three types of RV sites; back-in 66’.4”, pull-thru at 132’.8” and the premium
Pull-Thru sites w/ casitas at 150’.10”, every site will have more than the required 20 feet
from the unit to a public or private street.
Section 2.f. Open Space Recreation Area requires that no less than five (5) percent of the
gross area of the facility shall be reserved as common open space and recreation facilities
exclusive of required exterior boundary setbacks areas, pedestrian ways, parking bays,
public & private streets and community storage facilities. The subject property is 91 acres.
This section requires that 5% or 4.55 acres of Open Space/Recreational Areas. In addition
to the amenities shown, open areas and a lake the size of 7-8 acres, the Conceptual Site
Plans shows a total of 47.84 acres of open space in addition to the 5.29 acres for
recreational areas, far exceeding the requirements of Section 2.f.
Section 2.g. Minimum Off-street Parking Spaces requires that at least, one (1) off-street
parking space on ten (10) feet by twenty (20) feet shall be provided for each lot or space,
on or adjacent to the lot or space, and/or a total of two hundred (200) square feet. A
consolidated parking area within sixty (60) feet of the lots or spaces may be used to
provide required space. The Conceptual Site Plan shows one off-street parking space 10
feet X 20 feet provided at each site with additional parking near the offices and Clubhouse
building.
Although architectural or engineered construction drawings have not been created at this
time, the applicant will abide by Section 2.h., Maximum Height of Buildings, that requires
that buildings in this district will be limited to 35 feet in height.
The subject property will have signs, more specifically, at the entrance of the resort visible
from Riverside Drive and in accordance with Section 2.i.

The Palace Resort will be a transient resort and consist of 454 RV sites, some with
“casitas”. However, although “casitas” will be erected on some of the premium sites, they
will be built in accordance with state and local building codes but more importantly, will
not be attached to any unit whatsoever, or built in a manner that would inhibit the ability
of the unit to me moved.
In accordance with Section 4.a., the subject property abuts to the ROW of Riverside Drive
(Hwy 58) and is within the Economic Development corridor which follows the County’s
main transportation routes. Through a service agreement with Pittsylvania County, the
City of Danville services the adjacent properties within the Economic Development
corridor with water supply. The City of Danville has indicated that the water main is
located approximately 600 feet from the subject property as shown in Exhibit V. In
accordance with the Pittsylvania County Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 21 and Chapter 35
of the Pittsylvania County Code, the subject property will connect to City water.
Furthermore, each RV site will have frost-free water lines & sewer hookups approved by
the Health Department as all units allowed into the resort will be self-contained units.
In accordance with Section 4.b. Sewer Facilities, the subject property abuts to the ROW
of Riverside Drive (Hwy 58) and is within the Economic Development corridor which
follows the County’s main transportation routes. Through a service agreement with

Chapter 41 Noise Control Ordinance
The Board of Supervisors of the County of Pittsylvania, Virginia, hereby finds and declares
that excessive noise and sound is a hazard to the public health, welfare, safety, peace,
and the quality of life of the citizens of Pittsylvania County; that a substantial body of
science and technology exists by which excessive noise and sound may be substantially
monitored, controlled and abated; that the people of the County of Pittsylvania have a
right to and should be insured of an environment free from excessive sound and noise
pollution, that may jeopardize the public health, welfare, safety, and peace or degrade
the quality of life in Pittsylvania County; and that it is the policy of the County of
Pittsylvania to prevent such excessive noise and sound.
The weighted noise or sound pressure level is obtained by the use of a sound level meter
and the A- frequency-weighting network, as specified in American National Standards
Institute Specifications for Sound Level Meters.

In-air noise when frequency-weighted to approximate human hearing is measured on an
A-weighted scale, denoted as dBA.1 The A-weighted decibel scale begins at zero, which
represents the faintest sound level that humans with normal hearing can hear. Decibels
are measured on a logarithmic scale so each 10 dB increase doubles the sound; therefore
a noise level of 70 dBA is twice as loud to the listener as a noise of 60 dBA (USDOT 1995).
The following table shows typical noise levels generated by common indoor and outdoor
activities and provides possible human responses.

Noise is a pressure wave that decreases in intensity over distance from the source. Noise
attenuation is generally described as a reduction in decibel level per doubling of distance
from the source. When reporting the noise level from a source, one should always specify
the reference distance from the source for the sound measurement or estimated source.
A standard reference distance for source noise levels is 50 feet. The two most common
types of noise are point source and line source.
Point Source Point source noise is usually associated with a source that remains
in one place for extended periods of time. However, noise from a single traveling vehicle
is also considered a point source noise. Noise from a point source spreads spherically over
distance. The standard reduction for point source noise is 6 dB per doubling of distance
from the source.
Line Source Noise Line source noise is generated by moving objects along a linear
corridor. Highway traffic is a good example of line source noise.
Noise Path Reduction Factors Natural factors such as topography, vegetation, and
temperature can further reduce noise over distance. This section covers a few of the
10.A.4.b
Packet Pg. 103 Attachment: R-22-029 The Palace Resort App (3412 : Public Hearing: Case R-22-029: J Cubas Holdings, LLC)
25
common factors and their applicability in increasing the noise reduction per doubling of
distance from the source.
Hard Site vs Soft Site A hard site exists where noise travels away from the source
over a generally flat, hard surface such as water, concrete, or hard-packed soil. These are
examples of reflective ground, where the ground does not provide any attenuation. The
standard attenuation rate for hard site conditions is 6 dB per doubling of distance for
point source noise and 3 dB per doubling of distance from line sources.
When ground cover or normal unpacked earth (i.e., a soft site) exists between the source
and receptor, the ground becomes absorptive of noise energy. Absorptive ground results
in an additional 1.5 dB reduction per doubling of distance as it spreads from the source.
Added to the standard reduction rate for soft site conditions, point source noise attenuates
at a rate of 7.5 dB per doubling of distance, and line source noise decreases at a rate
of 4.5 dB per doubling of distance.
Topography, Vegetation, and Atmospheric Factors
A break in the line of sight between the noise source and the receptor can result in a 5 dB
reduction. Dense vegetation can reduce noise levels by as much as 5 dB for every 100 feet
of vegetation, up to a maximum reduction of 10 dB over 200 feet (USDOT 1995).
Atmospheric conditions can also affect the rate of noise attenuation. Noise travels farther
during periods of higher humidity and also in colder temperatures (USDI 2003). Wind can
reduce noise levels by as much as 20 to 30 dB at long distances (USDOT 1995).
To accurately measure the noise or intensity created by traffic within the perimeter
private roads of the resort in decibel levels, we need to measure the distance between
the source (ROW) to the property line with surrounding neighbors. As such, the
Conceptual Site Plan shows setbacks comprised of existing dense forestall vegetation. The
10.A.4.b
Packet Pg. 104 Attachment: R-22-029 The Palace Resort App (3412 : Public Hearing: Case R-22-029: J Cubas Holdings, LLC)
26
distances between the perimeter roads of the resort to the property lines with
surrounding neighbors is as follows:
Front Setback: 150 Feet
Side Setback (West) 100 Feet to 530 Feet
Side Setback (East) 102 Feet to 206 Feet
Rear Setback 82 Feet
Therefore, when the sound pressure level is obtained by the use of a sound level meter
and the A- frequency-weighting network, as specified in American National Standards
Institute Specifications for Sound Level Meters and shown in (USDOT 1995) when
measured from the source at a distance of 50, factoring in the topography and vegetation
of the subject property that will further reduce noise over distance on either a “Hard Site”
or “Soft Site” by an additional 6 dB per doubling of distance for point source noise and 3
dB per doubling of distance from line sources, the intensity on surrounding neighbors
created by noise will be as follows:

3. Consistency with the Pittsylvania County Comprehensive Plan
Introduction
The quality of life in a community can not be measured by statistics. It can only be
expressed in terms of the collective experiences enjoyed by the residents. It includes such
things as a comfortable climate, recreational and entertainment opportunities,
educational and cultural life, and an aesthetically pleasing living environment.
Goals, Objectives and Implementation Strategies
Community Facilities and Services
Goal #1 To plan for, construct, and maintain needed community facilities is a
manner that is cost effective, environmentally sound and consistent with the growth
objectives contained in this plan.
Objective #4 Consistent with this plan, develop and maintain public water and
wastewater systems to meet the needs of a growing commercial, industrial and
residential base.
Strategies
1. Prepare an updated water and sewer master plan for the County.
2. Develop a County-wide, interconnected utility system to provide water and
sewer service to all growth areas of the County and the Economic
Development Corridor.
3. Coordinate water and sewer service with the Future Land Use Map to
encourage planned, orderly growth by prioritizing utility service to identified
residential, commercial and industrial growth areas.
4. Consider a mandatory utility connection fee, or alternative funding system, to
make water and sewer extension projects more cost effective.

Economic Development
Located in the South-Central Piedmont region of Virginia, Pittsylvania Country is well
positioned to serve the needs of manufacturing and other industry – just a day’s shipping
distance from two-thirds of the U.S. population.
The North Carolina state line and city of Danville form the county's southern boundary.
The county has developed a substantial manufacturing and commercial base largely as a
result of its skilled workforce, excellent highway, rail systems and transportation systems.
The county is part of the Danville Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), representing a
major market and trade center for Southside Virginia.
The County has a variety of industrial park sites that each have their own unique
attributes. This geographic dispersion and variety of site characteristics allows the County
to accommodate most any industrial or commercial need. Among the sites available for
development are: Chatham North Industrial Park, Chatham South Industrial Park, East
Bowles Industrial Park, Gretna Industrial Park, Key Industrial Park, Cane Creek Centre,
Ringgold Industrial Park East, Ringgold Industrial Park West, Berry Hill Mega Park.
Goal
Build a healthy and diverse economic base that provides well-paying jobs and generates
sufficient revenue to pay for the service needs of both businesses and the citizenry
without degrading the County’s natural resources or the overall quality of life.
Objectives
1. Continue to expand Pittsylvania County’s commercial and industrial tax base.

2. Enhance the long-term visual attractiveness of the County’s major commercial
corridors.
3. Expand job opportunities for Pittsylvania County residents.
4. Increase visitation and tourism to Pittsylvania County.
5. Promote Pittsylvania County as an attractive location for economic development.
6. Encourage mixed-use development in appropriate areas.
7. Encourage creativity in the design of economic development projects.
Strategies
1. Development of business/industrial parks in the County, with primary
emphasis on improving vehicular access and public sewer and water and
stormwater management facilities in economic development areas.
2. Assist existing businesses with sewer and water extensions that will facilitate
their retention and/or expansion.
3. Promote the adaptive re-use of existing vacant, blighted commercia
properties in key, highly visible locations by purchasing selected properties,
demolishing existing structures, improving the sites, and preparing them for
redevelopment by the private sector.
4. Promote revitalization effort along commercial corridors.
5. Exploit, upgrade, and extend existing rail linkages in Pittsylvania County to
promote industrial and warehousing uses.
6. Require landscaping and, to the extent practical, the preservation of existing
trees and vegetation in all new economic development and redevelopment.
7. Participate in the development of events and facilities designed both to bring
visitors into the area during the shoulder seasons or off-season and to
encourage visitors to remain longer.
8. Upgrade the County’s Economic Development web site for marketing
purposes.

9. Support the development of state-of-the-art telecommunications facilities in
appropriate locations in the County.
10. Actively work with regional entities and local colleges and universities to
develop and promote regional strategies and plans that will benefit the
economic well-being of Pittsylvania County.
11. Foster mutual communication and cooperation among the County
government, the EDA, and the business community.
12. Provide opportunities for the mixing and integration of different types of uses
both business and residential – within a single development under a coherent
overall master plan.
Consistent with the Pittsylvania County Comprehensive Plan, County Code Ordinances,
more specifically Chapter 35 and the Danville 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the subject
property lies within the growth areas outlined in the County’s Economic Development
Corridor. Furthermore, the Future Land Use of the subject property has been designated
as Medium to High Density Residential by Pittsylvania County as shown on the County’s
GIS maps. Moreover, the property lies on Hwy 58, a four-lane main arterial within the
County linking the County to the national system of interstate highways in Virginia and
North Carolina and just east of the Berry Hill Mega Industrial Park as shown in Exhibit U.

The approval of this application for The Palace Resort, along with the two commercial
parcels for future commercial development taking access from Hwy 58, would meet all of
the objectives outlined in Chapter Four, subsection Economic Development of the County’s
Comprehensive Plan. More specifically, the approval would (1) continue to expand the
County’s commercial and industrial tax base, (2) enhance the long-term visual
attractiveness of the County’s major commercial corridor, (3) expand job opportunities for
County employees, (4) increase visitation and tourism to the County especially since the
resort will be a luxury resort and transient in nature and (5) promote the County as an
attractive location for economic development. Furthermore, although The Palace Resort
would probably not be categorized as a “mixed-use” development, the addition of future
commercial development on the two applicant owned adjoining parcels would provide for
a ”mixed-use” nature under single ownership on a major arterial and Economic
Development Corridor. As such, objectives 6 and 7 would also be met upon approval of
this application request since The Palace Resort would be developed in an appropriate

Transportation
Transportation planning in Virginia is undertaken through a partnership of state, local,
and federal participants. Pittsylvania County has areas that are urbanizing and included
in the Danville (Pittsylvania) Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) Planning Study
Area and areas that are rural and are addressed by the Rural Transportation Plan that is
developed in concert with the County staff, VDOT staff, and staff of the West Piedmont
Planning District Commission, often with consultants assisting the effort. In either the
rural or urbanizing area, the transportation planning is intended to be multi-modal and
comprehensive.
The MPO is responsible for preparing the Danville-Pittsylvania County region’s 2035 Long-
Range Transportation Plan and identifying existing and future transportation conditions
and needs. Each member jurisdiction, including Pittsylvania County, is responsible for
supplying the MPO recommendations on its identified transportation needs. The County
participated in development of a long-range transportation plan for the Year 2035 which

was completed in 2010.
The County contains a number of important primary roads and an extensive network of
secondary roadways that provide adequate travel routes within the County. Primary
Routes US 29 and US 58 are the four-lane main arterials within the County linking the
County to the national system of interstate highways in Virginia and North Carolina. Other
important primary routes are Route 40, Route 41, Route 57, Route 62, and Route 360.
The Virginia Department of Transportation Highway, in cooperation with the County,
applies classifications to the County’s various roadways. Highway 58 has been classified
as a Principal Arterial as shown in Exhibit U, Functional Classified Road Network, Map VII-
2.
The County’s Future Land Use Plan envisages the following future land uses spread across
the ten growth areas assigned in the County. For each, there are discussion points where

some relationship is drawn with the transportation network. It is recognized that there is
a strong interrelationship between a land use activity area and adjacent transportation
network feature.
Medium- to High-Density Residential Areas In these areas, it is expected that
0.25- to 1.0-acre residential lots will prevail and that there will be good access to local
streets and highways particularly. Development of public infrastructure to service the
areas and their location in designated growth areas of the County makes these areas
suitable as the County’s future Urban Development Areas.
LAND USE PLAN GOALS, OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES AND TRANSPORTATION
In reviewing the Plans Goals, Objectives, and Strategies, there were a number of items
that appear to fairly directly relate to transportation. One strategy notes that commercial
and industrial areas should be encouraged at node locations displayed on the Land Use
Plan Map. An objective note discouraging scattered development patterns which are
incompatible with the County’s ability to provide adequate and cost-effective public
services and facilities. A strategy recommends amending the County’s zoning and
subdivision ordinances to provide density bonuses for developments that demonstrate
conservation site design principles and/or incorporate low impact development
techniques. Another strategy recommends direct development to areas served, or
proposed to be served, by adequate public facilities and infrastructure. There is also a
strategy that recommends adoption of zoning and subdivision ordinance revisions to
allow and promote cluster subdivisions within the County. Finally, another strategy
recommends development of a highway corridor design manual and highway overlay
districts for the County’s main gateway thoroughfares.
COUNTY-WIDE ACCESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM The County’s highways are an
important public resource and represent a major public investment that should be
preserved. They provide the means for residents’ trips to work, to shop, to go to school,
10.A.4.b
Packet Pg. 116 Attachment: R-22-029 The Palace Resort App (3412 : Public Hearing: Case R-22-029: J Cubas Holdings, LLC)

to travel. Highways are essential for commerce, trade and tourism. Yet, as land develops
along a road, the potential exists for highway corridors to become lined with numerous,
closely spaced entrances, traffic signals, and median openings - many of which do not
have proper left/right turn lanes. These deficiencies lead to a high rate of accidents,
congestion, and a reduction in the traffic carrying capacity of the road. The goal of access
management is to achieve a safe and efficient flow of traffic along a roadway while
preserving reasonable access to abutting properties. By applying a set of traffic control
methods, the quality of the County’s network of roads can be maintained and improved.
Techniques for managing access include:
• Standards for the location, spacing, and design of driveway entrances;
• Median treatments;
• Providing exclusive right and left turn lanes;
• Connecting the parking lots and streets of neighboring land uses; and,
• Increasing the distance between traffic signals.
Goal #1
To develop and maintain a safe and efficient transportation system.
Objective #1
To establish and maintain a level of service of “C” or better for all secondary and primary
highway intersections in the County.
Strategies
6. Ensure that all established growth areas within the County are connected by
arterial corridors.
7. Consistent with the recommendations contained in the land use chapter of
this plan, promote an efficient land use pattern that promotes new residential
areas within the county’s designated growth areas.

8. Plan for and encourage through rezoning actions and subdivision approvals
pedestrian and vehicular interconnectivity between neighborhoods and
activity centers such as shopping areas, schools, libraries, and community
centers.
Goal #2
To encourage a balanced efficient transportation system.
Objective #1
Promote transit and van pool ridership in Pittsylvania County.
2. In accordance with the recommendations contained within the land use
chapter of this plan, promote residential development at densities
sufficient to support transit in the southern growth areas of the County.
3. Support and promote van pooling opportunities in the County.
Consistent with the Pittsylvania County Comprehensive Plan, County Code Ordinances,
more specifically Chapter 35 and the Danville 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the subject
property lies within the growth areas outlined in the County’s Economic Development
Corridor. Additionally, the Future Land Use of the subject property has been designated as
Medium to High Density Residential by Pittsylvania County as shown on the County’s GIS
maps. Furthermore, the property lies on Hwy 58, a four-lane main principal arterial road
and a classification of “C” within the County linking the County to the national system of
interstate highways in Virginia and North Carolina and just east of the Berry Hill Mega
Industrial Park.

Economic Development Corridors The focus here is special designation to recognize the
importance of the key transportation routes of Route 58 and Route 29. Parcel
development will want use of full water and sewer services and broadband services on the
highway corridors. It is desirable to locate industry projects on or adjacent to the highway
corridor. Clustering is desirable in order to reduce sprawl potential. Development will want
to employ access management requirements and follow the VDOT guidelines for
development.
Moreover, consistent with Chapter VII of the County’s Comprehensive Plan, with
continued interest in developing parcels like The Palace Resort along Route 58 west
corridor in the County and concern for the potential traffic conflict points developing in
the future as commercial and professional businesses locate on the route to associate with

Furthermore, Access management objectives can be achieved through land use strategies
that discourage strip development and promote clustering of land uses into
commercial/residential nodes near existing developed areas and at major highway
intersections. In an effort to maintain the safety and security of ongoing traffic patterns
along Highway 58 especially coming from the Martinsville Highway, the applicant is in
discussion with the City of Danville to establish a deceleration and acceleration lanes to
enter the resort through one access point. Discussions are also ongoing for a crossover
lane coming from the east.
Finally, in an effort to alleviate the intensity created by transportation onto Hwy 58, as
part of The Palace Resort Business Plan, van pooling services will be provided to our guests
from the resort to Caesars Hotel & Casino, the racetracks, the downtown area and other
tourist destinations within the City of Danville.
Land Use and Growth Management
The County’s existing land use pattern has been influenced by many factors. Prior to
government intervention, land use patterns in the County were influenced solely by
market forces and the environmental characteristics of land. Later, with the adoption of
local regulatory and policy tools (subdivision and zoning ordinance; capital improvement
program, comprehensive plan, etc.), the County began to play a much more active role in
shaping land use patterns. County decisions on public facility locations, specifically public
water and wastewater lines, also have influenced existing growth patterns. This section
is intended to provide information to help guide the Planning Commission and the Board
of Supervisors as decisions are made on rezonings, special use permits, subdivision
approvals and infrastructure projects.
Designated Growth Areas Exhibits K, K-1, K-2 and Exhibit L, from the County’s
Comprehensive Plan, shows that the subject property is located in the Brosville Growth
Node Area. The future land use plan also shows that the subject property is within the

Economic Development Corridor. This corridor follows the main transportation routes,
including the railroad, and represents the areas most suitable for commercial and
industrial development.

Although the subject property is not considered an industrial development site as per
Chapter VIII of the County’s Comprehensive Plan, it does possess certain criteria that must
be met for any industrial site to be successfully developed. Among these criteria are
adequate and available utility services, suitable topography, convenient and adequate
transportation routes and transportation modes, and an available workforce. Not all
areas of the County can meet this criteria and development tends to come to the areas
that are the most suitable. The County’s economic development plan is to have a variety
of sites available that can meet a variety of industrial and commercial needs.
As Pittsylvania County continues to experience residential, commercial and industrial
growth, there will be continued pressure on the County’s open space, agricultural and
forested areas to be developed for these uses. However, consistent with the County’s
Comprehensive Plan, future residential, commercial and industrial development should
be encouraged to locate in the designated growth areas of the County where adequate
public services are available or planned.
10.A.4.b
Packet Pg. 123 Attachment: R-22-029 The Palace Resort App (3412 : Public Hearing: Case R-22-029: J Cubas Holdings, LLC)

As such, the subject property lies within the growth areas outlined in the County’s
Economic Development Corridor. Furthermore, the Future Land Use of the subject
property has been designated as Medium to High Density Residential by Pittsylvania
County as shown on the County’s GIS maps. Additionally, through a service agreement
between the County and the City of Danville for water & sewer, the City has advised that
public water & sewer mains are presently located 600 feet from the applicant’s
commercial contiguous properties that that will provide access from Riverside Drive to the
Resort. Furthermore, the future land use map in Chapter VIII should be used as a general
guide for future County development patterns. Implementation of the future land use map
recommendations will require amendments to the County’s development codes to provide
both requirements and incentives for the conservation of land.
Future Land Use
The Future Land Use Map is a general guide for the future development of Pittsylvania
County. The plan can further be used in the evaluation of specific land development
proposals, the expansion of public utilities and facilities, and in reviewing the
effectiveness of zoning and subdivision ordinances. The Future Land Use Map shows a
desired land use pattern that can be followed as development occurs through the year
2030.
The basic premise of the Future Land Use Map is to separate incompatible land uses and
match the community’s development needs with the geographic areas that are the most
suitable. In order to promote and protect agriculture and forestry, dense growth should
be discouraged in the most rural areas of the County and encouraged in areas with
adequate public infrastructure. Public water and sewer should be encouraged in
residential areas with medium to high density levels and commercial/industrial areas.
Commercial growth should be encouraged in clusters or nodes, rather than in sprawling
10.A.4.b
Packet Pg. 124 Attachment: R-22-029 The Palace Resort App (3412 : Public Hearing: Case R-22-029: J Cubas Holdings, LLC)
46
strip developments. Industrial growth should be focused on areas with public utilities and
easy access to adequate transportation facilities.
Medium to High Density Residential
Public utilities should generally be available or could be reasonably extended in the
future. High density uses such as multi-family apartments, duplexes and townhouses, as
well as planned unit developments, should have direct access to public utilities. Conflicts
between high-density multi-family and medium density single-family should be
minimized by careful siting, screening and buffers. New high density multi-family projects
should only be approved after a public hearing process. This area would be suitable for
New Urbanism or Traditional Neighborhood Developments, as explained in the Housing
section of this plan. The presence of public infrastructure in this category, located within
the designated growth areas of the County, makes these areas particularly suitable for
medium to high-density residential growth.

Economic Development Corridors
The Future Land Use Map shows Economic Development Corridors located along the
County’s main highway thoroughfares of U.S. Route 58 and U.S. Route 29. These corridors
have a special designation to recognize the importance of these key transportation
routes. The corridor varies in size in some areas so that the important railroad along U.S.
Route 29 can be included. This Economic Development Corridor should be the primary
focus area for economic development in the County due to its transportation access and
public utility availability. A key goal for the 2010 Pittsylvania County Comprehensive is to
have full water and sewer service throughout these east/west and north/south corridors.
Due to the existing highway traffic, it is also likely that all significant retail operations will
be within the corridor area. In the future, the County may want to consider special design
and development guidelines within the Economic Development Corridor to recognize the
high visibility of this area to the traveling public and the importance of quality
development within this key area. While the entire Economic Development Corridor is
suitable for these uses, it is expected and intended that development occur in clusters at
the most suitable sites first, and then expand over time. The cluster concept reduces
sprawl development and minimizes infrastructure cost. Access Management
requirements must also be addressed in all new developments within this corridor, in
accordance with VDOT guidelines.
Goals, Objectives and Implementation Strategies
Land Use

To achieve a balanced land use system that provides sufficient and compatible land areas
for all community land use needs, while protecting sensitive natural environments and
important local historic and cultural resources.
Objective #1
Promote a strong and diversified industrial and commercial base which does not create
significant impacts on residential areas, prime agricultural lands or public facilities.
Strategies
1. Use the Future Land Use Map contained in this plan as a general guide for future
commercial and industrial land use decisions.
2. Encourage new commercial and industrial areas to node locations as shown on the
Future Land Use Map.
Objective #2
Discourage scattered development patterns which are incompatible with the County’s
ability to provide adequate and cost effective public services and facilities.
Strategies
5. Direct development to areas already served, or proposed to be served, by adequate
public facilities and infrastructure.
6. Ensure that all new water line and sewer line extensions designed to serve new
development are located within, and only serve areas within designated growth areas.
Objective #3
Enhance the rural and environmental character of the County through the preservation
of agricultural and forestall lands, wetlands, flood hazard areas, and steep slopes.

Strategies
5. Adopt zoning and subdivision ordinance revisions to allow and promote cluster
subdivisions within the County.
Objective #4
Adopt and maintain appropriate land use ordinances and voluntary programs designed
to guide and implement the provisions of this comprehensive plan.
Strategies
1. Amend the County zoning ordinance to provide enhanced standards for signage, noise,
landscaping, buffering, and lighting.
In accordance with the Goals, Objectives and Strategies of the Land Use Section, more
specifically, Chapter VIII of the Pittsylvania County Comprehensive Plan, the subject
property lies within the Brosville Growth Node Area outlined in the County’s Economic
Development Corridor. Furthermore, the Future Land Use of the subject property has been
designated as Medium to High Density Residential by Pittsylvania County as shown on the
County’s GIS maps. As such, the Future Land Use Map contained in this plan should be
used as a general guide for future commercial and industrial land use decisions. Moreover,
new development should be encouraged in new “commercial” areas to node location as
shown on the Future Land Use Map.
Furthermore, if approved, (i) the subject property would be developed in an area already
served, or proposed to be served, by adequate public facilities and infrastructure and (ii),
new water line and sewer line extensions have been designed and are already in place to
serve the subject property as it is located in an area within designated growth areas.

Additionally, although The Palace Resort may not be technically considered a “cluster
development” under a residential district since it will be a transient luxury RV resort under
Sections 35.177, 35.179 and 35.138 respectively, in essence, it is a cluster subdivision
development that should be encouraged and promoted by the County in its efforts to
discourage sprawl developments.
4. Impacts on Affordable Housing
This application request does not have any impacts on affordable housing as The Palace
Resort will be transient in nature.
5. Compatibility With Adjacent Land Uses
The subject property is presently zoned R-1, Residential District, with a Future Land Use
of Medium to High Density Residential. As per the Pittsylvania County Code of Ordinances,
more specifically, Sections 35.177 & 35.179, the subject property is required to be
rezoned to (A-1) Agriculture District with a Special Use Permit in order to be developed in
accordance with Chapter 35.138 for an RV resort.
As per Exhibit M from the County’s GIS system, the subject property abuts or is contiguous
to three large parcels totaling more than 68 acres, that are zoned A-1 Agriculture.
Therefore, the rezoning of the subject property from R-1 to A-1 will maintain compatibility
with the adjoining property and provide continuity to the neighborhood and surrounding
properties.

System & Standards. Additionally, the Conceptual Site Plan shows a two-lane secondary
or emergency access from the rear of the resort to Vandola Church Road as well as, a
“service road” on the south-east corner of the subject property used exclusively for trash
collection.
Furthermore, under the Pittsylvania County Comprehensive Plan, County-Wide Access
Management Program, Access management objectives can be achieved through land use
strategies that discourage strip development and promote clustering of land uses into
commercial/residential nodes near existing developed areas and at major highway
intersections. In an effort to maintain the safety and security of ongoing traffic patterns
along Highway 58 especially coming from the Martinsville Highway, the applicant is in
discussion with the City of Danville to establish a deceleration and acceleration lanes to
enter the resort through one access point. Discussions are also ongoing for a crossover
lane coming from the east.
Additionally, the Conceptual Site Plan shows that access roads and a parking space have
been provided to each RV site as per Chapter 35.138 (2.g). As such, no additional off-
street parking is required. Moreover, the roads inside the resort have been designed as
“Private Streets”.
Finally, in an effort to alleviate the intensity created by transportation onto Hwy 58, as
part of The Palace Resort Business Plan, van pooling services will be provided to our
guests from the resort to Caesars Hotel & Casino, the racetracks, the downtown area
and other tourist destinations within the City of Danville.
8. MASTER PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT
The Conceptual Site Plan has been designed in accordance and consistent with the
Pittsylvania County Comprehensive Plan and the County Codes and Ordinances. The
Palace Resort is consistent with the standards of the County Code & Ordinances in
Chapters 17, 21, 35, 41, more specifically, Section 35.138, Campgrounds and
10.A.4.b

Recreational Vehicle/Camper Areas. The Conceptual Site Plan shows 454 RV sites,
recreational amenities such as pools, a lake, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, dog parks
and other recreational areas.
The minimum lot size required in this district is three acres of land. The subject property
has 91 acres. As per the County Codes & Ordinance, the maximum density allowed for
this district is 20 sites per acre. The Conceptual Site Plan calls for a total of 454 sites or 5
sites per acre, well below the requirements of Section 2.d.
A separation distance of (10) feet is required between units set on RV lots and adjacent
lot lines. Front yards, that portion of the lot between the unit and a public or private street
in the campground, shall be no less than twenty (20) feet in depth which shall include the
distance from the unit to the right-of-way line for the street. The conceptual Site Plan
shows that the separation distance between units is at least, 20 feet for adjacent lot lines.
Additionally, due to the length in sizes of the three typical RV sites; back-in 66’.4”, pull-
thru at 132’.8” and premium sites 150’-10”, every site will have more than the required
20 feet from the unit and a public or private street.
Open Space Recreation Area requires that no less than five (5) percent of the gross area
of the facility shall be reserved as common open space and recreation facilities exclusive
of required exterior boundary setbacks areas, pedestrian ways, parking bays, public &
private streets and community storage facilities. The subject property is 91 acres. This
section requires that 5% or 4.55 acres of Open Space/Recreational Areas. In addition to
the amenities shown, open areas and a lake the size of 7-8 acres, the Conceptual Site
Plans shows a total of 47.84 acres of open space in addition to the 5.29 acres for
recreational areas, far exceeding the requirements of Section 2.f.
At least, one (1) off-street parking space on ten (10) feet by twenty (20) feet shall be
provided for each lot or space, on or adjacent to the lot or space, and/or a total of two
hundred (200) square feet. A consolidated parking area within sixty (60) feet of the lots

or spaces may be used to provide required space. The Conceptual Site Plan shows one
off-street parking space 10 feet X 20 feet provided at each site with additional parking
near the offices and Clubhouse building.
Although architectural or engineered construction drawings have not been created at this
time, the applicant will abide by Section 2.h., Maximum Height of Buildings, that requires
that buildings in this district will be limited to 35 feet in height.
The subject property will have signs, more specifically, at the entrance of the resort visible
from Riverside Drive and in accordance with Section 2.i.
The Palace Resort will be a transient resort and consist of 454 RV sites, some with
“casitas”. However, although “casitas” will be erected on some of the premium sites, they
will be built in accordance with state and local building codes but more importantly, will
not be attached to any unit whatsoever, or built in a manner that would inhibit the ability
of the unit to me moved.
The subject property abuts to two applicant owned commercial properties who abut to
the ROW of Riverside Drive (Hwy 58) and is within the Economic Development corridor
which follows the County’s main transportation routes. Through a service agreement with
Pittsylvania County, the City of Danville services the adjacent properties within the
Economic Development corridor with water supply. The City of Danville has indicated that
the water main is located approximately 600 feet from the subject property. In
accordance with the Pittsylvania County Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 21 and Chapter 35
of the Pittsylvania County Code, the subject property will connect to City water.
Furthermore, each RV site will have frost-free water lines & sewer hookups approved by
the Health Department as all units allowed into the resort will be self-contained units.

will have sewer hookups approved by the Health Department as all units allowed into the
resort will be self-contained units.
At this time, the Conceptual Site Plan does not show Impervious Surface Ration (ISR)
however, the proposed density is 5 units per acre. Furthermore, the existing pond has
been increased to a 7.5-acre lake that will provide for stormwater drainage and retention
for the subject property. The applicant will coordinate with the County & City of Danville
Engineering Departments to design and meet the requirements for stormwater retention.

4. As per Section 35.138 of the Pittsylvania county Code & Ordinance, no “on-street”
parking is proposed as each site has been provided with one parking space with
the minimum size of 10 X 20 as per County Code.
5. The buffers or setbacks provided in the Conceptual Site Plan are greater than
those required by the County Code in Chapters 35.138, 35. 177 and 35.17 where
an untouched forestall vegetative buffer, ranging from 80 to 530 feet, as shown
on the Conceptual Site Plan, will remain along the perimeter of the resort to the
park adjoins other lot lines with residential or agriculture districts not zoned for
an RV park or campground.
6. Retail and/or personal service uses for the guests of this resort, if any, will be
located in the enclosed clubhouse and/or office building as per the Pittsylvania

RVs Move America Economic Impact Study There is a fundamental change
happening in the way Americans travel, work, and live. More and more people are
choosing RVs as their preferred option for travel as they prioritize spending time in the
great outdoors and embracing the freedom that comes with RVing. Just how much the
RV industry has grown is captured in the new RVs Move America Economic Impact Study,
produced by the RV Industry Association. The study revealed that the RV industry has an
overall annual economic impact to the US economy of $140 billion, supporting nearly
680,000 jobs, and paying more than $48 billion in wages. This is a 23% increase in
economic output in the past three years.
The $140 billion total annual RV industry economic impact includes:
• $73.7 billion generated by RV manufacturers and suppliers
• $35.7 billion by RV campgrounds and related travel
• $30.5 billion by RV sales and service activities
In addition to the economic impact, the RV industry pay $13.6 billion in federal, state, and
local taxes.
The RVs Move America Economic Impact Study includes all companies involved in the
manufacture, sale, rental, repair, storage, and service of RVs, as well as in the aftermarket
industry, financing, and insurance of RV purchases. The economic impact of campgrounds
and trip spending during RV travel is also captured in the report.
Exhibits R and R-1, Exhibits S and S-1, provide detailed information about the economic
contributions generated by the U.S. recreation vehicle industry in the US and more
importantly, in the Commonwealth of Virginia and North Carolina, respectively.

Market Report-May 2022
Results for the RV Industry Association’s May 2022 survey of manufacturers determined
that total RV shipments ended the month with 50,529 units, the best May on record and
an increase of 2.6% compared to the 49,241 units shipped during May 2021 as shown in
Exhibit T. Through May, RV shipments are up 11.8% compared to the same point last year
with 279,038 wholesale shipments. “The summer RVing season is off to an incredible start
with millions of Americans heading to their favorite outdoor destination to spend quality
time with friends and family,” said RV Industry Association President & CEO Craig Kirby.
“Thanks to the work of RV manufacturers and suppliers, consumers looking to purchase
a new RV have more options to choose from as inventory continues to be rebuilt at RV
dealerships across North America.” Towable RVs, led by conventional travel trailers,
ended the month up 2.6% against last May with 45,608 shipments. Motorhomes finished
the month up 3.2% compared to the same month last year with 4,921 units. Park Model
RVs ended May up 35.2% compared to May 2021 with 411 wholesale shipments. To date,
park model RVs are down (-0.8%) with 1,864 shipments.
While early 2022 shipment results have been strong, we do see the market leveling off
against 2021’s record numbers. The latest 2022 RV Roadsigns forecast projects RV
shipments for 2022 to range between 537,800 and 561,900 units with a most likely year-
end total of 549,900 units, an (-8.4%) decline from the 600,240 shipped in 2021.
