Key outcomes from the meeting record:
- Consent calendar: the board approved the consent calendar (motion by Supervisor Sheppard). Items listed on the consent calendar included approval of minutes, a Whites‑Faulkner sewer extension grant, two two‑year extensions of special‑use permits (Flippingly LLC and Natasha House), and a building safety/IT renovation item among others. Motion and roll call recorded; consent calendar approved.
- Natasha House special‑use extension: the board approved a two‑year extension for Natasha House (applicant representation: Greg Bowditch, Douglass Development Partners). Bowditch explained financing and a plan to expand roughly by adding attic space to create roughly eight additional suites; he estimated construction could begin within 6–12 months, with realistic expectations for early 2026. The extension remained on the consent calendar and was approved as moved.
- CDR / Head Start support: the board approved a continuing support agreement with Community Development Resources (CDR) to provide Early Head Start services in York County (the county provides $75,000 in support). Katie Quigley, Head Start director for CDR, explained that the Griffin Eades center operates two infant/toddler classrooms serving 16 children (licensed ratio limits) and that other services are provided countywide via home‑based programs. Supervisors discussed limits on space, transportation, and the program’s high per‑child cost (Quigley cited a per‑child cost of about $24,000 per year for infant/toddler care).
- American Battlefield Trust trail and park (R25‑85): the board approved a special‑use permit to establish a park and pedestrian loop on 393 and 401 Crawford Road. Planning staff recommended that the trail surface and parking area be constructed to durable, accessible standards; the board approved the resolution after staff recommended conditions including stone‑dust trail surfacing and a dustless parking surface.
- Carson Group LLC (FM/parcel proffer amendment and SUP extension — ordinance 25‑14 and resolution R25‑110): the board approved an amendment to proffers and extended a previously approved special‑use permit to give the applicant additional time to complete site plan work and consolidate financing. Attorney Mike Ware and staff explained the financing and practical reasons for retaining separate record lines until construction financing is secured; both actions were approved unanimously.
- Chesapeake Bay ordinance (25‑5): the board adopted amendments to the county’s Chesapeake Bay preservation overlay to meet state requirements for resiliency assessments and other updates.
- Overgrowth / vegetation code amendment (proposed ordinance 25‑6): the board continued the public hearing to July 15 to allow staff and supervisors to refine scope and ensure the measure does not create unintended county‑wide burdens; several supervisors suggested targeted approaches for historic district areas and dense neighborhoods.
- Tower lease actions (R25‑71 and R25‑72): the board approved an amendment and extension of an existing tower lease at York High School with T‑Mobile and a five‑year tower lease at Fire Station #2 with Verizon at an initial annual payment ($25,000 for the Fire Station #2 lease), after staff said the terms vary by tower height and ground‑space needs.

Votes: nearly all of the above motions passed by roll call; recorded votes in the meeting transcript show unanimous yes votes from the supervisors present on the approved items.

Ending: The meeting advanced several planning, public‑service and facilities matters. The overgrowth code item was continued so staff can craft a more targeted ordinance addressing dense neighborhoods and historic‑district concerns rather than a county‑wide prescriptive rule.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","York County - Board of Supervisors - Jun 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The York County Board of Supervisors approved a package of consent items and individual actions — including a Head Start support agreement, a park/trail special‑use permit, proffer and special‑use amendments, Chesapeake Bay code updates and tower lease extensions — and continued an overgrowth code item for further work.","taxTitle","York County, Virginia","taxId",38210,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515399,"Board approves mini-storage and covered RV storage at 2100–2044 George Washington Memorial Highway",385,2769000,3154000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3863936-daaba3a6038b6d67bc1889b5bb67bc56&start=2769&end=3154","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3863936-daaba3a6038b6d67bc1889b5bb67bc56/thumbnail_2769000.jpg","/articles/6515399/York-County/Virginia/Board-approves-mini-storage-and-covered-RV-storage-at-21002044-George-Washington-Memorial-Highway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515399-d40e20ff0a79bb47908a6a39f5a3383f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770523913&Signature=UZnX7Y6zDQR2PXzPLAvUg74qBm1FMZDBLoW2ED6OAVC7gClB232F6g53XrWIO7Ro3ymdVv4JM3-R6AaqlSFws1O-li7RDxlaUhe9rO4pQbfpD91KHSMhjjlemLLmRqxtCy0YBYf2p~Mw0PazY~y15tXiULfhUkPzJssaKTqGHFDB6Y2vdtEkG1bn2YX9H9HwMPz8hh6no1KY~0aiPLjbdSajtQoiYbzoSMJU4jTrDfacFnCOUI8NGm03WNpbkjtdvbj-2mq5Cfwd0n2iyiJ0FuhNMQJeIiEpD4RdXmtf-uE3MmnmHtANWpu6fLG8AxB3PZCFCDYnUpsubB86GdJ2Xw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The York County Board of Supervisors on the evening of the meeting approved a proffer amendment and two special‑use permits that will allow a new single‑story mini‑storage facility and covered recreational‑vehicle (RV) storage at properties addressed as 2100 and 2044 George Washington Memorial Highway.

Planning staff described the application as a redevelopment of a longtime junkyard parcel into 11 mini‑storage buildings (about 105,000 square feet) and a covered RV storage area. Staff said the plan preserves a 35‑foot transitional buffer along the rear property line next to the Tab Lakes neighborhood, will rebuild an existing wooden fence, and requires a 20‑foot landscape yard and monument sign at the Route 17 frontage. Planning staff recommended approval and said the planning commission had unanimously recommended approval.

The applicant, Andy Bilmanis, said his company, S3 Storage Solutions, would redevelop the site to reduce community impacts compared with the existing junkyard and to provide “quiet, cleaner, more attractive” uses. He told the board the project will include stormwater management where none exists today and that the applicant met with the Tab Lakes neighborhood in February. “We hope that we could be the start of the revitalization for this portion of George Washington Memorial Highway,” Bilmanis said.

Neighbors and supervisors asked about screening and rules to prevent the site from reverting to a junkyard use. Planning staff responded that the existing proffers include a prohibition against operating a junkyard on the parcel, and staff described conditions that prohibit on‑site vehicle maintenance and overnight camping in RVs or storage units. Bilmanis said the lease terms and facility rules will prohibit maintenance‑as‑business on the site. “They cannot… use it as a campground either,” he said.

The board approved three separate actions: an ordinance amending the proffers that govern a portion of the property, a resolution approving the mini‑storage special‑use permit, and a resolution approving the covered RV storage special‑use permit. Votes were recorded by roll call and the motions carried.

What happens next: the applicant said he plans to move forward with permitting and expects to begin construction once permits and financing are in place; the applicant estimated a roughly 9–12 month construction schedule once work starts.

Votes at a glance (from the meeting record)
- Ordinance 25‑15: Amend proffered conditions for 4 acres at 2044 George Washington Memorial Highway (proffer removal limited to vehicle‑title requirement). Motion made by Supervisor Roan; roll call recorded as Yes (Roan, Sheppard, Holroyd, Knoll). Outcome: approved.
- Resolution R25‑106: Approve special‑use permit for a single‑story mini‑storage warehouse facility at 2100 George Washington Memorial Highway. Motion made by Supervisor Holroyd; roll call recorded as Yes (Sheppard, Holroyd, Roan, Knoll). Outcome: approved.
- Resolution R25‑107: Approve special‑use permit to authorize a covered recreational‑vehicle storage facility at 2100 and 2044 George Washington Memorial Highway. Motion made by Supervisor Sheppard; roll call recorded as Yes (Holroyd, Roan, Sheppard, Knoll). Outcome: approved.

Ending: The board’s approvals allow the applicant to move from entitlement to permitting; planning staff retained authority to enforce the proffers and the conditions attached to the special‑use permits.

Planning staff presented the draft ordinance, which adds a definition for “data center,” inserts data centers into the table of land uses, and establishes performance standards covering energy and water confirmation, noise limits, setbacks, architectural standards and safety. The planning commission had recommended approval by unanimous vote.

Board members and members of the public pressed staff and each other on how the county will ensure utility systems have adequate capacity. In response, the board made three explicit changes on the record before adoption: adding the phrase “with sufficient capacity” to the utility‑confirmation requirement; requiring electric (and water) capacity re‑verification at five‑year intervals as a condition of approval; and limiting any increase in load without further board review to 25% of the originally approved grid load. The board also confirmed that the county will require utilities to certify capacity based on the project’s full, ultimate build‑out, not just initial phases, so future expansion cannot occur without review.

Supervisor Holroyd urged the additions. “Get some ordinances in place,” he said, and recommended adding the capacity language and a re‑verification cadence. The board also revised the proposed generator‑testing rule: staff had proposed a limit of two hours per day on weekdays; the board altered that to a stricter limit of one hour per week for on‑site generator testing to reduce noise and community impacts.

Public commenters raised related concerns. Anne Gregorian, a Yorktown resident, said she supported the Holroyd recommendations and urged the county to require low‑frequency (C‑weighted) noise measurements for fan noise from data centers. “I agree with, Mister Holroyd’s two recommendations,” she said, and urged use of the C weight for constant fan noise. Mark Williams, another resident, urged the county to study how utilities like Dominion would supply any new load and suggested renewable options such as on‑site solar for mitigation.

Because the ordinance creates a new regulated use, staff and board members noted that any future data center proposal would still require site‑specific review: each data center would need a special‑use permit and the board could ask for additional conditions beyond the ordinance standards if warranted.

Votes: the board adopted the ordinance as amended (listed in the record as proposed ordinance 25‑16 R).","York County supervisors adopted amendments to the zoning ordinance establishing standards for data centers. The ordinance requires utilities to confirm sufficient capacity, mandates five‑year reverification, limits expansion without new approvals and tightens generator testing limits, after a board amendment.","actionData","errors"]
