Virginia’s town of Halifax Planning Commission is set to make a recommendation on a proposed RV park at an upcoming meeting where the public will also have the chance to comment on the decision.
The public hearing will take place on February 23 at 7. p.m. at Halifax Town Hall.
According to a report, Halifax business owner Dean Jones proposed the RV park plans.
After the public hearing, the planning commission is scheduled to decide on a recommendation to town council, which will either accept or deny the plans, Town Manager Carl Espy said.
Jones is the owner of Toots Creek Antique Mall, located at the southern entrance into Halifax’s central business district, and he is planning to open the RV park on the parcels of land that adjoin Toots Creek. The property at 5289 Halifax Road is currently zoned as commercial C-1.
Jones said he believes the park would add more tourism dollars to the town at a December town council meeting.
The Halifax town council business development committee and planning commission have been discussing the special permit conditions for the park.
The commission and the committee are still deciding on the maximum occupancy time per RV within the park.
Other provisions of the permit are quiet hours, check-in hours, as well as the prohibition of fireworks, firearms, explosives, and the public display of alcohol.
