Enclosure #3 <br /> <br />September 21,2001 <br /> <br />Martinsville <br /> A CITY WITHOUT LIMITS <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Martinsville <br />Martinsville, Virginia <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />The Planning Commission, at its regular meeting on September 20, 2001, conducted a duly <br />advertised Public Hearing on a request to amend the City's Land Use Plan to indicate property <br />located at 200 Lester Street (Tax Map 23(2)2) be shown as Professional rather than the present <br />designation of Industrial. = <br /> <br />At the Public Hearing it was noted the Commission recently recommended a rezoning of this <br />property from M-1 Industrial to RP-1 Residential-Professional. This rezoning would allow <br />Citizens Against Family Violence to develop a facility for the relocation of emergency shelter <br />and associated buildings to accommodate battered and abused women. Such an amendment <br />would make the rezoning compatible with the Proposed Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive <br />Plan. No opposition was expressed to this proposed request. In order to assure compliance with <br />Virginia Code 15.2.2200, it is stated the public purpose for which this Resolution is initiated is to <br />improve the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the citizens and to plan for the <br />future development of the community. <br /> <br />Following discussion of the matter, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (6-0) to <br />recommend to City Council the Land Use Map be amended to Professional. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission respectfully submits the above recommendation for Council's further <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />James Barnett, Secretary <br /> <br />Wayne D. P. Knox <br />Planning, Zoning and Housing Manager <br /> <br />WDPK/btr <br /> <br />Cc: Ricky C. Hall, Chairperson <br /> James Barnett, Secretary <br /> <br />55 West Church Street P.O.
