Planning Commission — 2021-06-02

These are the minutes of the Centreville Planning Commission work session on June 2, 2021, where commissioners discussed accessory structures — planning staff (Chris Jakubiak) proposed limiting accessory building size to 30% of the required rear yard, presented proposed minimum side and rear setbacks by size, and raised questions about the definition of “detached,” the role of building height and architecture in setback rules, and use of vegetative buffers or extra setbacks for steel structures. The meeting packet also included a preliminary draft of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use chapter (with blue/black/strike-through edits) outlining chapter organization and existing land use descriptions such as downtown institutional/governmental uses, single- and multi-family neighborhoods, the Centreville Business Park, and an institutional center along Railroad Avenue (MD 304).
