Planner Richard McNear responded. He said the proposed ordinance allows churches in all zoning districts by special permit. He said that conditions would have to be met before the special permit would be issued. The conditions concern the rights of neighboring property owners and the safety of the general public.
McNear said the proposed zoning ordinance was less restrictive in‘regard to places of worship than the 73 Ordinance.
In regard to churches, Forrest Whorton of Amissville wondered why a dance hall would be permitted by right in a commercial zone, while a church required a special permit. "What’s the difference in noise?” he asked.
Planner McNear said that dwellings were not allowed in a commercial district either; Commissioner Newbill Miller said the Planning Commission would take Whorton’s suggestion under advisement.
Whorton asked if prayer meetings held in homes required special-use permits. Planner McNear responded, saying they did not until a person put a sign out, advertised and invited everyone.
