The Accomack Board of Zoning Appeals convened on August 6, 2025, to discuss a special use permit application for a proposed farm market. The meeting focused on evaluating the potential impacts of the project on the surrounding community and compliance with local regulations.

The Board addressed several key considerations regarding the proposed use. Firstly, it was determined that the farm market would not adversely impact the general character of the neighborhood, as it would be consistent with existing structures in the area. Additionally, no negative effects on public utilities or the environment were anticipated. The proposal was also found to align with good zoning practices and state and local laws, as retail stores are permitted under special use permits.

Public input was notably absent, with no comments received from the community, indicating a lack of opposition to the project. Staff findings supported the application, highlighting that the proposed use would not detrimentally affect property rights or values of nearby owners.

The Board recommended approval of the special use permit, designated as SUSE 12025, with five specific conditions attached. These conditions include the requirement for the applicant to obtain a building permit, comply with zoning regulations regarding parking and landscaping, adhere to health and transportation regulations, ensure consistency with the application during construction, and maintain the property to prevent disrepair.

The meeting concluded with a motion to approve the special use permit, reflecting a consensus on the project's alignment with community standards and regulations.
