Summary

Joseph Kaufman asked the planning commission for a special‑use permit to produce finished wood products and build a commercial building on a 5.44‑acre B‑1 parcel; commissioners moved the case to public hearing after confirming a VDOT traffic letter had been submitted.

Joseph Kaufman presented a special‑use permit request (case 25SUP364) to produce finished wood products and to construct a commercial building on approximately 5.44 acres at 18440 East James Anderson Highway in a B‑1 district. Planning staff noted ten conditions attached to the request in the packet and confirmed a VDOT traffic‑impact letter had been submitted to both the applicant and staff earlier the same day.

Commissioners asked operational questions — weekly tractor‑trailer deliveries and hours of operation (applicant said roughly 7 a.m.–5 p.m., six days a week). Staff confirmed the owner signatures were included in the application packet and that required permits and inspections would follow normal permitting processes.

The commission voted to move the request to a public hearing for more detailed testimony and board consideration.
