Town of Gate City

The key discussions included reports from various committees, noting no significant updates for Comprehensive Plan, Land Use, Subdivision, Zoning, or Capital Improvements. Under unfinished business, the Commission recommended approval of rules and guidelines for permanent signs at The Bark Park. Commissioners also proposed revised setback regulations based on V-DOT Right-of-Way information for Zones C1 and C2, intended for discussion at an upcoming joint workshop. Suggestions were made regarding limitations for including Tiny Homes in the Zoning Ordinance for Zones R1 and R2. Under new business, the Commission recommended that Town Council approve an application for a Special Exception and Use Permit for a tribute sign at Gate City High School to honor Matthew 'Mac' McClung.

The regular November meeting of the commission was canceled. The determination of a quorum could not be made because the body lacked the required number of active members due to two commission seats being vacant, necessitating new appointments by the Town Council before a meeting could be held.

The regular October meeting of the Commission was canceled due to a vacancy in one of the Commission seats, meaning a quorum could not be determined or achieved until a new member is appointed by the Town Council.

The special called meeting included a public hearing and a motion to approve the 2011-2012 Sanitation Authority Budget.

The meeting included an amendment to the bi-laws with a Public Hearing scheduled, and a decision to keep Roger Cassell as the Chairman and Daris Hartsock as the Vice-Chair. The board approved payments for May and June 2016 bills.
