The Clarke County Planning Commission will conduct a Continued Public Hearing in the Berryville-Clarke County Government Center main meeting room, 101 Chalmers Ct., Berryville, Va., on Friday, June 2, 2023, at 9 a.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider the land use application shown below:

TA-23-01, Campground Regulations.  Proposed text amendment to add a new temporary use, “camping,” to Zoning Ordinance Section 5.4 (Uses, Definitions, and Use Regulations – Temporary Uses) and to delete the current uses “campground” and “summer camp” from Section 5.2D (Recreation/Education/Assembly Uses). The purpose is to prohibit new permanent campgrounds including those operated as a business or as summer camps, and to establish new regulations for the duration of camping activities, the long-term lease of a lot for camping, and temporary event camping. The regulations would also prohibit temporary or permanent onsite connections for recreation vehicles.

Any person desiring to speak on the above matter should appear at the appointed time and place. Written copies of statements are requested but not required. Clarke County does not discriminate on the basis of handicapped status in admission to its programs and activities. Accommodations will be made for handicapped persons upon prior request.
