A work session of the Council of the City of Salem, Virginia, was held in the Council

A.Discussion Items
(1)Discussion of urban archery within the City
Council reviewed a proposed ordinance for potential amendment to City Code
pertaining to urban archery within the City. Discussion was held and questions
responded to by staff and Counsel. Upon review by Council and legal counsel,
Council members requested to add Item 6C to the agenda for the regular meeting
this evening to consider adoption of ordinance on first reading. Staff was instructed
to make any changes as noted to the ordinance to put it in final form prior to the
second reading at the next meeting.
(2)Amendment to Code related to Polling Locations
Mr. Light reviewed that back in the fall the Electoral Board had requested that the
polling locations for the Beverly Heights and West Salem Precincts be moved to
the Civic Center due to the lack of another suitable location. In December 2022,
Council voted to adopt a resolution authorizing the City Attorney to seek a waiver
of the requirement that polling places be within one mile of the nearest boundary.
Now, as a housekeeping item, Council needs to adopt an ordinance to amend Code
so that the Precinct location for these two precincts reflects this change. Discussion
was held and Council agreed that they wished to bring these ordinances to the next
regular meeting to adopt both with one reading.
3.Adjournment
There being no further business, Mayor Turk adjourned the meeting at 6:19 p.m.

4.Consent Agenda
A.Citizen Comments
Comments from the public, limited to five minutes, on matters not already
having a public hearing component at the same meeting.
John Breen, 142 Bogey Lane was the first citizen to address Council. He
expressed concerns about Council Work Sessions and Code enforcement. Mr.
Breen shared pictures with examples of Code violations. He made the
following requests of Council:
1) Vote to make decisions for each citizen request to Council
2) Conduct Work Sessions the week between Council meeting and schedule
when public can attend

3. Agenda additions for discussion and resolution
Mark Nayden, 352 North Broad Street, expressed concerns to Council about
volume and speed of traffic on North Broad Street. He also expressed concerns
about potential rezoning and development at the Hope Tree Family Services
property. He expressed concern about the potential strain on public services of
water, sewer, electricity, and the school system. He requested transparency and
dialogue regarding all property redevelopment. He acknowledged the
difference between privately owned and City owned property but expressed his
feeling that all discussion of all development in the City should be made public;
especially when there was the potential to impact traffic, services, and property
values. Mr. Nayden also requested that if impact studies for traffic and
infrastructure had been done for this project, that they be made available to tax
paying citizens of the City of Salem and to those in Roanoke County that were
directly impacted. If these studies had not been done, he request ed that analysis
of the proposed changes be done as well as a speed study between McClung
Street and West Carrolton Avenue using an electronic speed monitor as soon as
possible and prior to any rulings on rezoning and development being
considered.
Stella Reinhard, 213 North Broad Street, was the last citizen to address Council
this evening. She expressed concerns about the proposed redevelopment and
rezoning of the Hope Tree property. She noted examples of past development
projects within the City of Salem in which she felt that communication between
the City and residents had not been adequate. She asked that there be more
opportunities for citizen input into proposed development and rezonings. She
requested that the City communicate with citizens about proposed projects and
that the citizens be allowed to have input on Hope Tree redevelopment.
Specifically, she is requesting that consideration be given to keeping this as a
greenspace to preserve the history of this land. She is requesting that it be used
as a park with Equine Therapy continued in this location. Mrs. Reinhard
provided a packet for Council’s review that included specific details, ideas for
consideration, and concerns with this project. She requested that time be given
to citizens to discuss and address issues of traffic, sewage, water drainage and
other potential issues with proposed redevelopment. Mrs. Reinhard also asked
that studies be done on this prior to approval of any rezoning/redevelopment by
the City.
Mayor Turk noted that she appreciated that Mrs. Reinhard pointed out the fact
that the property was privately owned and that this limits what the City can
demand. She said that we have options and that she wanted to make sure that
Council was as open with the knowledge they have as possible. Mayor Turk
commented that to her knowledge they had not submitted a plan of any sort to
date as she had been checking on this. She requested that Mr. Light check on
the status.
Mr. Light confirmed that the City has not received a formal zoning amendment
application from them at this point.
Mayor Turk asked if the City has received any type of submission of any plans
that they have at this point. She understood from Mr. Morris that this was still
in the hands of the architect that had been hired.
Mr. Light noted that we have received nothing formal for this project. The
zoning code specifies the process, and that process does include a required
meeting with City staff. They do meet with City staff as with any rezoning to
receive feedback and may have in the process documents that they go through;
however, the City has not received an application to go through as staff. Any
application would go to the Planning Commission first for analysis, review, and
a public hearing and then ultimately to Council for review, analysis, and a
public hearing. We do not have documents from them at this point.
Mayor Turk reviewed the process and noted that once they submit something to
the City, the submission would be initially made specifically to Planning in the
Community Development Department. If Community Development sees issues
with what has been submitted, they would inform them of that according to
current City Code. They would be informed and required to make changes to
continue.
Mr. Light confirmed that this was correct.
Mayor Turk requested that Council be notified once the City does receive a
submission so that they and Planning Commission are aware of it once
something comes through. Mayor Turk also commented that Council had been
able to attend some of the public meetings that were spoken of by Mrs.
Reinhard.
Mr. Holliday shared that the public meetings were held before he came onto
Council but that he had met with Mr. Morris personally.
Mr. Jones noted that he attended four of five meetings that were held by Hope
Tree.
Mayor Turk stated that Council understands her concerns and that they are
looking to see what is being proposed for the property.
Mrs. Reinhard shared that a map was included at the end of the packet of
information that she had shared with Council. She expressed concern at the
number of housing units that were being proposed as Mr. Morris talked about
three hundred or more houses when she met with him about three and a half
months ago.
Mr. Jones and Mayor Turk noted that they had not heard anything at the
meetings that included plans for three hundred or more houses.
Another citizen in the audience shared that she had met with Mr. Morris and
that he had spoken with her of plans for this number as well.
Mr. Jones restated that this was the first he had heard of that. He noted that
there were a lot of different conceptions at each one of the meetings that were
done to get input from people around the Baptist Home. That was the purpose
of the meetings.
A citizen asked if the public was invited.
Mr. Jones responded that Hope Tree was responsible for that, and Council was
just invited to attend and that was over a year ago.
Council was asked if the public had been invited.
Mr. Jones responded that Council did not have any control over that.
Another citizen asked if any notifications had been put up on the City website.
Mayor Turk responded that nothing had been decided so there would not be
anything to post on the website unless there was some type of connection to the
City and that there were not normally announcements put on the website about
developments.
Mr. Jones commented that until it came to Council, it does not become a matter
of record that they can share.
Mrs. Reinhard added that Mr. Morris had told her that the City of Salem was
working with them on utilities and services normally done for developments.
Mr. Jones noted that he had just spoken with Mr. Van Allman at the end of last
week and that nothing had been received and this is a ll conceptual at this point.
Council thanked the citizens for coming this evening and for their input.
B. Minutes
Consider acceptance of the June 21, 2023, Special Meeting Work Session and
the June 26, 2023, Work Session and Regular Meeting minutes.

6. New Business
A. Resolution Salem Museum
Consider adoption of resolution 1458 in support of the Virginia America 250
Commission and their efforts to commemorate the 250th anniversary of
Virginia’s participation in American independence.
Mr. Light explained that this was created by the 2020 General Assembly and
that basically the Commission requested that each locality form a committee to
aid in planning for the commemoration period. This gives Council’s support
for the Commission and their efforts to commemorate the 250 th anniversary of
American independence and that the City will form a committee as requested.
He also gave further background on the committee. The committee will be
formed including representatives from the Salem Museum and other historical
groups. They will plan events in Salem and will coordinate with Roanoke City,
Roanoke County, Botetourt, and Virginia’s Blue Ridge to try to maximize
attendance at these events.
Mayor Turk noted that this puts us in line for any grants by supporting this
resolution.
Mr. Light responded that there could be potential grants availab le. He had
spoken with Mr. Harveycutter and if there were matches available, there could
be some potential funding.
William Jones motioned to adopt Resolution 1458 in support of Virginia American
250 Commission. H. Hunter Holliday seconded the motion.

26, 2026, to the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission. William Jones
seconded the motion.
Ayes: Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace

C. Urban Archery Ordinance
Consider request to adopt Urban Archery Ordinance. SUPPLEMENTAL ITEM
Mayor Turk stated that Item 6C is the item that was added to the amended
agenda. She asked Mr. Dadak, attending for Mr. Guynn, the City Attorney this
evening, for some background on this particular subject.
Mr. Dadak explained that this is a zoning ordinance to allow for a specific
urban archery season that is provided for in the Virginia Code. This adds time
in September and in January through March. This would bring the City in line
with other cities, counties, and towns that have adopted this. Roanoke County,
Lynchburg, Amherst, Bedford, Blacksburg, and a number of other localities
have adopted this. This brings us in line with the Code and the Virginia
Department of Forestry and Wildlife Resources. This provides for the
conditions and requirements for hunting within the City limits for bow and
arrow for deer.
James Wallace motioned to adopt Urban Archery Ordinance. William Jones
seconded the motion.
Ayes: Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
Absent: Foley
7. Adjournment
Mr. Jones noted that there had been two major electrical outages this past
Friday that were major due to an unfortunate accident at Carter Machinery and
there was also at the same time a smaller one in South Salem. He applauded
A.K. Briele that he was out fixing one of the outages himself. He commended
A.K. for the leadership that he shows in his job and his love for Salem. He
wanted people to know that the City’s electricity is in great hands when A.K.
Briele is the head of it.
All of the Council members agreed and expressed appreciation.
Mayor Turk also noted that he was also a lifesaver at the Red Sox game on
Saturday when they were without power for a period of time. She noted what
an asset he was to the City.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:58 p.m.

Item # 5A
Date: 8/28/2023
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SALEM, VIRGINIA
HELD AT CITY HALL
MEETING DATE: August 28, 2023
AGENDA ITEM: Consider ordinance on second reading to adopt Section 14-4,
Hunting Deer During Urban Archery Season, of Article I, In
General, of Chapter 14, Animals, of the Code of the City of Salem
providing for an urban archery deer season in the City of Salem.
This was added to the amended August 14, 2023, agenda as a
supplemental item and approved on first reading.
SUBMITTED BY: Jim Guynn, City Attorney
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
At the August 14, 2023, Work Session; Chris Dadak; with Guynn, Waddell, P.C.; presented
to Council information on urban archery including background information on urban archery
deer season, general restrictions for all participating localities, and restrictions and other
information specific to surrounding participating localities. A proposed ordinance was
presented for Council’s consideration. Council amended their regular meeting agenda and
added this as a supplemental item to their agenda for that evening to vote on the first reading
of this proposed ordinance.
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VADGIF) established an urban
archery season during 2002 to assist towns and cities across the Commonwealth with urban
deer management issues. The urban archery season gives localities a means to reduce deer
populations within their limits while at the same time providing hunting recreation. The
regulation that establishes this season is permissive, and the season is available to every
incorporated city and town in Virginia and to every county with a human population density of
three hundred (300) persons per square mile or more.
The proposed ordinance authorizes urban archery hunting of deer, pursuant to the
enabling legislation of Va. Code § 29.1 -528.1 and applicable DGIF regulations. The
proposed ordinance permits the hunting of deer by licensed hunters within the City with
bows during applicable hunting seasons designated by the Virginia Department of
Game and Inland Fisheries. All such hunting activities would be subject to the
conditions previously recommended by staff and incorporated into the proposed
ordinance at the direction of Council. The violation of any provision of the ordinance
would constitute a Class 3 misdemeanor. Additionally, the ordinance updates the City
Code to conform with applicable state law authorizing the adoption of certain
prohibitions on the use of bows within the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council consider this item on second reading.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SALEM,
VIRGINIA HELD AT CITY HALL
AGENDA ITEM: Special Exception Permit
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Jesse Spence, property
owner, for the issuance of a Special Exception Permit to allow a two
family dwelling on the property located at 128 Bellevue Avenue (Tax
Map # 78-1-1). (Advertised in the August 17 and 24 issues of
the Salem Times-Register.) (Recommend approval; see page 3

SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Zoning: RSF Residential Single Family
Land Use Plan Designation: Residential
Existing Use: Residential
Proposed Use: Residential – Two Family Dwelling
The subject property (128 Bellevue Avenue, Tax Map # 78-1-1) consists of a 0.242 acre-tract which
sits within the RSF Residential Single-Family zoning district. The applicant is seeking a Special
Exception Permit to allow a two family dwelling on the property.
While originally constructed in 1935, an addition in the late 1980s timeframe created a space
equipped with a separate bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. According to the applicant, minor
interior renovations (the removal of one doorway) are required to remove access between the
proposed residential units. The subject property already possesses two separate curb cuts for
driveway access. If approved, the applicant will comply with the necessary building code
adjustments and acquire separate utility services for each of the units. There is a residential unit
across the street, 1901 Woodlawn Avenue, which already serves as a two family dwelling.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as residential, still consistent with the
proposed utilization of the property should the Special Exception Permit be granted.
REQUIREMENTS:
The proposal meets the requirements of Section 106-202.3. Site development regulations for RSF.

3. New Business
A. Special Exception Permit
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Jesse Spence, property owner, for
the issuance of a Special Exception Permit to allow a two family dwelling on the
property located at 128 Bellevue Avenue (Tax Map # 78-1-1).
Staff noted the following:
The subject property (128 Bellevue Avenue, Tax Map # 78-1-1) consists of a 0.242
acre-tract which sits within the RSF Residential Single-Family zoning district. The
applicant is seeking a Special Exception Permit to allow a two family dwelling on the
property.
While originally constructed in 1935, an addition in the late 1980s timeframe
created a space
equipped with a separate bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. According to the
applicant, minor interior renovations (the removal of one doorway) are
required to remove access between the proposed residential units. The
subject property already possesses two separate curb cuts for driveway
access. If approved, the applicant will comply with the necessary building
code adjustments and acquire separate utility services for each of the units.
There is a residential unit across the street, 1901 Woodlawn Avenue, which
already serves as a two family dwelling.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as residential, still
consistent with the
proposed utilization of the property should the Special Exception Permit be granted.
Jesse Spence, 1411 Craigs Wood Road, New Castle, Virginia, property owner,
appeared before the Commission and stated that he purchased the property in June
and would like to separate the two living unite with separate utilities and separate
addresses.
Member Garst asked about a second driveway.
Mr. Spence stated that a previous owner used it for the parking of a boat, but it will
be utilized as a second driveway.
A discussion was held regarding an interior door that connects the units, which Mr.
Spence will do what is required to separate the units; and if the property will be
rental property, which Mr. Spence stated that he plans to rent it either medium term
(3-6 months) or long-term.
Vice Chair King asked if there had been any inquiries from the public.
The Zoning Administrator stated that there had been no inquiries.
No other person(s) appeared related to the request.
Neil Conner motioned approve the request of Jesse Spence, property owner, for the
issuance of a Special Exception Permit to allow a two family dwelling on the
property located at 128 Bellevue Avenue (Tax Map # 78-1-1). Denise King seconded
the motion.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Daulton, Garst, King
B. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Helm Building Enterprises Ltd.,
property owner, for rezoning the property located at 105 St. John Road (Tax
Map # 155-3-2) from HBD Highway Business District to HM Heavy
Manufacturing.
Staff noted the following;
The subject property (105 St. John Road) consists of a 0.816 acre tract of land which
currently sits within the HBD Highway Business District designation. To provide a
bit of history, the large parcel known as 416 Electric Road was formerly zoned HM
Heavy Manufacturing, and at that time it encompassed the parcels now recognized as
71 St. John Road and 105 St. John Road. A 2007 subdivision resulted in the
formation of 71 St. John (retaining its HM Heavy Manufacturing designation), and a
subsequent rezoning adjusted 416 Electric Road (which included the yet to be formed
105 St. John Road) from HM Heavy Manufacturing to HBD Highway Business
District. Since then, 105 St. John Road has been subdivided and created, and this
request seeks to return it to the HM Heavy Manufacturing classification. This parcel
is currently vacant; however, it is within the St. John Place Commerce Center which
is primarily comprised of properties zoned HM Manufacturing.
The applicant plans to mimic the development of flexible commercial lease space
which is currently being constructed at 71 St. John Road. Although most of the site
is in the floodplain, the building pad will be elevated above the 100-year floodplain
to meet the necessary requirements. As depicted on the concept plan, the proposed
development will be accessed via St. John Road.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as industrial which is
consistent with the proposed utilization of the property.
Barney Horrell, 3553 Carvins Cove Road, Salem, of Brushy Mountain Engineering,
appeared before the Commission representing the property owner, and stated that the
subject parcel is currently being graded to construct a lease space identical to the
building currently under construction at 71 St. John Road. He stated that the lot is
currently zoned HBD, but all other lots around it are zoned HM except for the soccer
fields behind the lot and the undeveloped property headed toward Lynchburg
Turnpike. He also noted that he is currently working with another client and will
hopefully be back before the Commission soon with a rezoning request for another
parcel near the former GE property.
Vice Chair King asked about access to the soccer fields.
Mr. Horrell noted that the access in question, the old driveway that went to the soccer
field, is only used by the maintenance personnel for the soccer field--mowers and if
there is an emergency on the fields, an ambulance can access the fields. There used to
be a chained gate across it with a lock, but was pulled out when construction started.
The official entrance to the soccer fields has been moved for access for the soccer
fields.
Chair Daulton asked if this was Teddy Dyer's business, and Mr. Horrell stated that it
is one of his lease spaces.
No other person(s) appeared related to the request.
Denise King motioned approval of the request of Helm Building Enterprises Ltd.,
property owner, for rezoning the property located at 105 St. John Road (Tax Map #
155-3-2) from HBD Highway Business District to HM Heavy Manufacturing.
Jackson Beamer seconded the motion.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Daulton, Garst, King
C. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Doyle Properties, LLC, property
owner, for rezoning the property located at 2005 East Main Street (Tax Map #
78-2-2.11) from RSF Residential Single Family to HBD Highway Business
District.
Staff noted the following:
The subject property (2005 East Main Street) consists of a 0.557-acre tract of land
which is situated within the RSF Residential Single Family zoning district. The
property is currently vacant, and the property owner is currently in the process of
removing excess vegetation which interferes with utilities.
According to the City of Salem’s zoning ordinance, an accessory structure cannot be
placed on a parcel which possesses the RSF designation without the existence of a
principal structure (house). As a result, the applicant is requesting to rezone the
property from RSF Residential Single Family to HBD Highway Business District in
order to develop the site and place an approximately 3,400 square foot, pre-
engineered structure initially designed to accommodate the storage of classic cars.
With that in mind, the site will be developed in a fashion that will ultimately facilitate
a transition to other commercial uses permitted by the HBD zoning district. If
approved, site details including but not limited to required parking and landscape
buffering would be finalized during the site plan review process.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as commercial. While storage
of the owner’s personal property alone may not be commercial, the size and type of
the proposed building is of a commercial nature. Because the site design/layout and
building structure are conducive to commercial uses, it will be an easy transition of
the property in the future.
Chris Burns of Balzer and Associates, 1208 Corporate Circle, Roanoke, appeared
before the Commission on behalf of the property owner, who is also present at the
meeting. He stated that purpose of the rezoning will be to allow for the construction
of a metal building to be used initially for personal storage of classic vehicles. The
rezoning is necessary because the ordinance does not allow for an accessory structure
to be on a parcel without a residential structure. The rezoning would allow for the
building to transition to a commercial use in the future, which is appropriate for the
location. He stated that the building will be "dressed up" and that the required
vegetation buffer will be installed as required by the zoning ordinance.
Chair Daulton asked how many vehicles will be stored in the building.
Cecil Doyle, 204 South Jefferson Street, Roanoke, appeared before the Commission
and stated that he has had an average of 20 vehicles. The vehicles have been stored in
Floyd, Virginia, but the gravel road is not good for the classic cars. He decided to sell
the cars, which he has done, and build something closer and more conducive for
classic cars.
Vice Chair King asked about the nature of the building structure.
Mr. Doyle stated that the building in the packet is representative of the building, but
the building will be a high-quality pre-engineered building. He stated that it is not a
cheap metal building.
Chair Daulton asked if any work will be done on the vehicles.
Mr. Doyle stated that only minor work will be done on the vehicles inside the
building, nothing will be done outside. The property will be well landscaped, well
buffered, etc. He stated that he has already started dressing up the lot.
Member Garst noted that Mr. Doyle plans to access the property from Point Pleasant
and asked if that will require an address change. The Zoning Administrator noted that
it will not require an address change.
Vice Chair King asked about exterior lighting.
Mr. Doyle stated that there will be minimal security lighting.
Member Beamer noted that the lighting will be addressed in the site plan process.
No other person(s) appeared related to the request.
Reid Garst motioned the request of Doyle Properties, LLC, property owner, for
rezoning the property located at 2005 East Main Street (Tax Map # 78-2-2.11) from
RSF Residential Single Family to HBD Highway Business District. Jackson Beamer
seconded the motion.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Daulton, Garst, King
D. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Neal Wall, property owner, for
rezoning the properties located at 1139, 1133, and 1127 Highland Road (Tax
Map # 230-2-7, 230-2-6, and 230-2-5) from RSF Residential Single Family to
HBD Highway Business District.
Staff noted the following:
The subject properties and portions thereof (1139, 1133, and 1127 Highland Road)
included in this request together total approximately 1.162 acres of land which is
situated within the RSF Residential Single Family zoning district. Each of the
subject parcels are home to a single family residence, two of which will remain
(1133 and 1127 Highland Road) if this rezoning request and subsequent
development are approved.
The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the subject area from RSF Residential
Single Family to HBD Highway Business District in order to create a lot suitable for
a quick service restaurant. As depicted on the concept plan, the quick service
restaurant of approximately 3,600 square feet would be served by a double drive-
thru, with access points on both Midland Road and Electric Road (right-in, right-out
only). If this request is approved, the appropriate landscaping and parking
requirements, along with the required buffer yard between the commercial use and
remaining residential units, will be fulfilled through the site plan review process.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as residential which is not
consistent with the proposed utilization of the property; however, the properties’
unique location along Electric Road (with an adjacent signalized intersection), a
corridor with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses, renders it
compatible with anticipated future commercial development.
Ben Crew of Balzer and Associates, 1208 Corporate Circle, Roanoke, appeared
before the Commission on behalf of the property owner. He stated that Mr. Wall has
been acquiring various properties on this corner for the last 10-15 years to create a
commercial outparcel while preserving the residential homes. He noted that one main
tax parcel is being rezoned and two portions that are involved with the request. There
are two houses that will remain in the back and one on the parcel that is on the corner
of Midland and Electric that will be removed as part of the project. He noted that
Exhibit A in the packet outlines potential development on the site. There is not a user
signed up to use the space but want to take the right steps so that as this corridor is
developing there is opportunities for development along this signalized corner along
Electric Road. He noted that two vehicular access points for the development--one on
Midland that is back from the signal, and a second that is a right in, right out on
Electric Road because a median is shown. While there is not an exact square footage
of the building to be placed, it is expected for it to be a 3,600-sf. single-story building
due to the lot size. He further stated that there is a lot of momentum happening in the
area with Valley Dale, G. E., and some of the St. John work being done. There has
been previous work done on the site as the site needed to be filled up to the road level
for it to be a viable commercial site. He further noted that having property along
Electric Road being zoned RSF is not a viable use.
Chair Daulton asked if the properties on Parcel B and C will be rented or sold.
Neal Wall, property owner, 4016 Lake Drive, SW, Roanoke, appeared before the
Commission and stated that the properties are currently being rented. One of the
tenants has been there 30 years.
It was again noted that a tenant has not been selected for the site.
A discussion was held regarding storm-water management for the site. It was
confirmed that the residential structure on Property A will be razed for access to the
new business. It was noted that this is not a blanket rezoning request, and the
residential character of the other residences in the project will be maintained--the
house and the first half of the lot are going to stay on Highland and the back half of
the lot will be absorbed into the overall development parcel that fronts on Electric.
It was noted that no calls were received regarding the request.

SUBMITTED BY: Max Dillon, Planner
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Zoning: HBD Highway Business District
Land Use Plan Designation: Industrial
Existing Use: Vacant
Proposed Use: Lease Space – Flexible Warehouse with Office Space
The subject property (105 St. John Road) consists of a 0.816 acre tract of land which currently sits within
the HBD Highway Business District designation. To provide a bit of history, the large parcel known as
416 Electric Road was formerly zoned HM Heavy Manufacturing, and at that time it encompassed the
parcels now recognized as 71 St. John Road and 105 St. John Road. A 2007 subdivision resulted in the
formation of 71 St. John (retaining its HM Heavy Manufacturing designation), and a subsequent rezoning
adjusted 416 Electric Road (which included the yet to be formed 105 St. John Road) from HM Heavy
Manufacturing to HBD Highway Business District. Since then, 105 St. John Road has been subdivided
and created, and this request seeks to return it to the HMHeavy Manufacturing classification. This parcel
is currently vacant; however, it is within the St. John Place Commerce Center which is primarily
comprised of properties zoned HM Manufacturing.
The applicant plans to mimic the development of flexible commercial lease space which is currently being
constructed at 71 St. John Road. Although most of the site is in the floodplain, the building pad will be
elevated above the 100-year floodplain to meet the necessary requirements. As depicted on the concept
plan, the proposed development will be accessed via St. John Road.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as industrial which is consistent with the proposed
utilization of the property.
REQUIREMENTS:
The proposal meets the requirements of Section 106-220.3. Site development regulations for HM.
OPTIONS:
1.Approve the request.
2.Deny the request.

Item #6C
Date: 9/28/2023
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SALEM, VIRGINIA
HELD AT CITY HALL
AGENDA ITEM: Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing and consider ordinance on first reading for the request of
Doyle Properties, LLC, property owner, for rezoning the property located at
2005 East Main Street (Tax Map # 78-2-2.11) from RSF Residential Single-
Family to HBD Highway Business District. (Advertised in the August 17
and 24 issues of the Salem Times-Register.) (Recommend approval; see
pages 5-6 of Planning Commission minutes.)
SUBMITTED BY: Max Dillon, Planner
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Zoning: RSF Residential Single Family
Land Use Plan Designation: Commercial
Existing Use: Vacant
Proposed Use: Storage Space for owner’s personal property
The subject property (2005 East Main Street) consists of a 0.557 acre tract of land which is situated
within the RSF Residential Single Family zoning district. The property is currently vacant, and the
property owner is currently in the process of removing excess vegetation which interferes with utilities.
According to the City of Salem’s zoning ordinance, an accessory structure cannot be placed on a parcel
which possesses the RSF designation without the existence of a principal structure (house). As a result,
the applicant is requesting to rezone the property from RSF Residential Single Family to HBD Highway
Business District in order to develop the site and place an approximately 3,400 square foot, pre-
engineered structure initially designed to accommodate the storage of classic cars. With that in mind,
the site will be developed in a fashion that will ultimately facilitate a transition to other commercial uses
permitted by the HBD zoning district. If approved, site details including but not limited to required
parking and landscape buffering would be finalized during the site plan review process.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as commercial. While storage of the owner’s
personal property alone may not be commercial, the size and type of the proposed building is of a
commercial nature. Because the site design/layout and building structure are conducive to commercial
uses, it will be an easy transition of the property in the future.
REQUIREMENTS:
The proposal meets the requirements of Section 106-214.3. Site development regulations for HBD.
OPTIONS:
1.Approve the request.
2.Deny the request.

SUBMITTED BY: Max Dillon, Planner
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Zoning: RSF Residential Single Family
Land Use Plan Designation: Residential
Existing Use: Residential
Proposed Use: Restaurant – Quick Service
The subject properties and portions thereof (1139, 1133, and 1127 Highland Road) included in this
request together total approximately 1.162 acres of land which is situated within the RSF Residential
Single Family zoning district. Each of the subject parcels are home to a single family residence, two of
which will remain (1133 and 1127 Highland Road) if this rezoning request and subsequent development
are approved.
The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the subject area from RSF Residential Single Family to HBD
Highway Business District in order to create a lot suitable for a quick service restaurant. As depicted on
the concept plan, the quick service restaurant of approximately 3,600 square feet would be served by a
double drive-thru, with access points on both Midland Road and Electric Road (right-in, right-out only). If
this request is approved, the appropriate landscaping and parking requirements, along with the required
buffer yard between the commercial use and remaining residential units, will be fulfilled through the site
plan review process.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as residential which is not consistent with the
proposed utilization of the property; however, the properties’ unique location along Electric Road (with
an adjacent signalized intersection), a corridor with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses,
renders it compatible with anticipated future commercial development.
REQUIREMENTS:
The proposal meets the requirements of Section 106-214.3. Site development regulations for HBD.
OPTIONS:
1.Approve the request.
2.Deny the request.

REZONING REQUEST NARRATIVE:
On behalf of Neal Wall (Owner/Applicant), Balzer and Associates, Inc. (Agent) is
requesting a rezoning of the subject parcels or portions thereof at the signalized
intersection of Electric Road (Route 419) and Midland Road/Indiana Street within the
City of Salem. The proposed use of the parcels includes a commercial restaurant with
drive-thru lanes to serve the facility. A breakdown of the zoning is provided below and
associated parcels. A conceptual site plan has been provided as Exhibit A, which outlines
the proposed improvements for the project.
Parcels to be Rezoned:
1. Rezone a portion of Tax Parcel 230-2-5: (1127 Highland Road Salem, VA 24153)
a. Existing Zoning: RSF – Residential Single Family
b. Proposed Zoning: HBD – Highway Business District
2. Rezone a portion of Tax Parcel 230-2-6: (1133 Highland Road Salem, VA 24153)
a. Existing Zoning: RSF – Residential Single Family
b. Proposed Zoning: HBD – Highway Business District
3. Rezone Tax Parcel 230-2-7: (1139 Highland Road Salem, VA 24153)
a. Existing Zoning: RSF – Residential Single Family
b. Proposed Zoning: HBD – Highway Business District
Existing Site Conditions:
The three (3) existing parcels are located along the public right of ways of Electric Road,
Midland Road, and Highland Road and are currently owned by Neal Wall. All of the
parcels contain single family homes currently and a portion of tax parcel 230-2-7
adjacent to Electric Road was previously utilized as a fill site in preparation for the
subject development. The single-family home located on 230-2-5 and 230-2-6 will
remain.
Electric Road is a principal arterial road and based on 2021 data carries approximately
18,000 vehicles per day. Traffic information was not readily available for Midland Road
or Highland Road.
The property is not located within a FEMA defined floodplain district nor are there
unique or sensitive environmental features on the subject properties including historic
districts/structures.
The adjacent public right of ways contain public water and sanitary sewer mains that can
serve the proposed development.
2 | Page
Proposed Improvements:
The proposed improvements for the project include the construction of a one-story
approximately 3,600 sf commercial restaurant with double drive-thru. The associated
improvements on-site are typical for a commercial restaurant including required parking,
loading, refuse containers and specific access for patrons.
Any building or freestanding permanent signage will be provided per the City of Salem
signage ordinance.
Landscaping will be provided for the site including a buffer yard adjacent to the single
family residential located to the North and East of the subject parcels.
Access:
Vehicular access is proposed in two (2) locations including full access on Midland Road
indicated as Access A and a right-in-right out indicated as Access B on Electric Road.
Impacts to traffic will be limited as these access locations are shown to provide maximum
separation from the existing signalized intersection and also respond to existing
infrastructure in place on the surrounding street network.
Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map
The comprehensive plan for the City of Salem supports commercial growth and
development along major commercial/industrial corridors. This section of Electric Road
(Route 419) is unique in that there are multiple commercial zoning designations including
Highway Business, Heavy and Light Manufacturing, and Residential Business as well as
Single Family residential zoning all located in this area. The site is located at an existing
signalized intersection in which vehicles from industrial, commercial, and residential uses
access this location and therefore is consistent with for the proposed use.
The future land use map indicates these properties as residential, therefore we have
maintained an appropriate ‘zoning layering’ from the more intense commercial along
Electric Road to the residential along Highland Road. This project concentrates the
majority of the commercial elements along Electric Road and maintains the two (2)
exiting single family residences and associated zoning along Highland Road.
This project will be developed in accordance with applicable regulations including the
City of Salem Zoning Ordinance.
