"The sale of used cars is not allowed under this ordinance the way it’s written now,” Kramer concluded.
“To park a few cars there would be no more hazardous than building a picnic area." Atkins argued.
"Isn’t the property zoned business?” asked James Swindler. BZA representative from the Sperryville area.
From the audience, Joseph Atkins, Sr., maintained that the property has commercial zoning.
Same Old Problem
“Again we have our perennial problem with the zoning map,” Konick replied, noting that the property in question is encircled by a green line—the same line used to mark residential, residential subdivision and residential business districts.
The lot isn't colored commercial and apparently falls into the residential business (RB-1) district of Sperryville, he said.
"Whether its residential business or whatever, it is in the flood plain district and therefore governed by the provisions of Article Nine (the zoning ordinance section in flood plain)," agreed Bird.
“It’s been a commercial lot since I was born," rejoined Swindler.
Even if the property is considered residential business, RB-1 regulations permit only lawful continuing use of an existing facility or an expansion to continue an existing use, Konick explained.
