During the annual organizational meeting, Christiansburg Town Council adopted regular meeting dates as 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month.  Typically, council's appointed Planning Commission meets the day before, on Mondays, at either 3 or 4 pm.  Generally, this commission reconvenes during a council recess at Tuesday meetings, too.

The town's next Planning Commission meeting will be Monday, Oct. 6th at 4 pm in Town Hall.  The agenda includes:

  • Review of a CUP granted March 4 for a residence located at 108 Chapel St., zoned B-3 General Business District, allowing sales of small animals including reptiles;
  • Continued item to discuss candidates being considered for recommendation to council for appointment to Planning Commission relative to a second vacancy effective Sept. 1;
  • Continued item to amend Chapter 3 “Advertising” of the Christiansburg Town Code in regards to provisions for roof, wall, and marquee signage as directed by council May 20;
  • Update on continued item in regards to provisions for a Historic District Overlay, as directed by council March 18; 
  • Consideration of amendment to Chapter 30 “Zoning” of the Christiansburg Town Code in regards to provisions for parking facilities  continued from Aug. 4 meeting;  
  • Consideration for amending town code in regards to provisions for bed and breakfast inns

Note that between Sept. 16 and Nov. 4th (election night), the only regular council meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 7th.  The second meeting in October was deleted as most members are expected to travel and attend the Virginia Municipal League conference at the Norfolk Waterside Convention Center Oct. 19-21.  The agenda for the Oct. 7 meeting is not yet available to the public.

The town's Board of Zoning Appeals will hold Public Hearings on Thursday, Oct. 9th at 7:30 pm in the town hall to receive citizen comments on the following:

  • John Leschinskey request for property located at 245 John Lemley Lane to allow a variance for a single-family residence to be located approximately 9 feet from a property line, rather than the required 10 feet;
  • Robert and Linda Eubank request for property located at 145 Kays Drive to allow a variance for an addition approximately 25 feet from a property line, rather than the required 35 feet.

Copies of the related zoning items and documents may be viewed at Town Hall during normal office hours.
