The Warrenton Planning & Zoning Meeting held on June 5, 2025, focused on the approval of a site plan for a new commercial development. The meeting began with discussions regarding the proximity of the proposed building to nearby residences. A resident raised concerns about the distance between the new structure and existing homes, noting that some residences are only 10 to 12 feet from the property line. City officials confirmed that the building and parking area would maintain a distance of at least 15 feet from the property line, with plans for additional green space.

The proposed development consists of a single L-shaped building that will house a hair salon and office space, designed as a strip center. The building will face Highway 47 and is positioned further back than an adjacent structure. The planning team addressed stormwater management challenges, which influenced the building's placement.

The meeting also confirmed that the parking lot will be paved, as required for new construction. The developer has been working on this project for approximately six months, and the council expressed appreciation for their efforts in navigating the complexities of the site.

A motion was made to approve the site plan for Raygoza Contracting, which passed unanimously with an 8-0 vote. The project will be presented to the board on June 17 for further consideration.

The meeting concluded with a reminder that there will be no meeting in July, but a planning meeting is scheduled for June 12 at 5:00 PM. The session was adjourned shortly thereafter.
