Grayson County Planning Commission

The Grayson County Planning Commission meeting held on May 20, 2026, focused primarily on updates and discussions related to subdivision and zoning ordinances, including fee schedule comparisons with neighboring counties. The commission reviewed attorney comments on right-of-way definitions and family subdivision limitations, particularly concerning emergency exceptions such as death or incapacity. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to considering increases in various fees, including zoning permits, special use permits, and subdivision reviews, with recommendations to shift advertising and mailing costs to applicants rather than county taxpayers. The commission also discussed upcoming public hearings for rezoning applications and the need to update zoning ordinances to comply with new Virginia legislation on solar and battery storage facilities. No formal votes on fee changes were taken, but the commission agreed to further review the fee schedules and legal definitions before proceeding to public hearings.
