Culpeper Town Council Meeting - June 9, 2026
Published: Jun 9, 2026
Zeus Property Rezoned to Commercial Amidst Community Concerns
The Town Council voted to approve the rezoning of the Zeus Property, LLC parcel from Rural Residential to Commercial. This decision followed extensive discussion and public hearings, with the Planning Commission having previously recommended denial. The rezoning aligns the property's designation with the town's Comprehensive Plan, which designates the area for mixed-use and commercial development. The applicant has provided proffers to mitigate potential impacts, including prohibiting certain uses and committing to transportation improvements. [cite: 838-1830]
Town Council Amends Rules on Agenda Item Additions Following State Legislation
The council discussed and passed an ordinance amending Chapter 2 of the Town Code to address the addition of items to meeting agendas after commencement. This change, prompted by Senate Bill 699, aims to clarify the definition of "time sensitive" matters and reduce legal exposure for the town when adding items post-meeting start. The Town Manager will be empowered to add items deemed time sensitive to regular council meeting agendas. A second reading is scheduled for July 14th. [cite: 2593-2640]
Town Council Authorizes Purchase of New Vehicles for Water and Wastewater Operations
The Town Council approved the purchase of several vehicles for the water and wastewater funds for Fiscal Year 2027. This includes replacing a 2006 Ford one-ton van with a three-quarter ton truck for the wastewater treatment division, replacing a 2007 Dodge pickup with a new three-quarter ton truck for water distribution, and purchasing a new tandem dump truck for wastewater collection. The council also approved flexibility with not-to-exceed amounts due to market volatility. [cite: 2946-3010]
Culpeper Baptist Church Granted Conditional Use Permit for Signage Modifications
The Town Council considered a conditional use permit for Culpeper Baptist Church to convert an existing monument sign to an electronic message board and add other signage. The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions, including restrictions on the electronic message board's motion, illumination hours, and landscaping requirements for ground-mounted signs. A resident objected to the comprehensive sign plan, citing inconsistencies with adjacent zoning and urging the Council to reject or table the proposal. The Council ultimately approved the permit with conditions. [cite: 577-837]
Town Council Endorses VDOT Smart Scale Funding Applications for Safety and Traffic Projects
The Town Council passed three resolutions in support of applications for VDOT Smart Scale funding for transportation infrastructure improvements. The proposed projects include a roundabout at IRA Hoffman and Brandy Knoll/Rocky Knoll/Burgundy, a roundabout at the Walmart entrance and Dominion Square Shopping Center, and a shared-use path along Business 15 in front of the Sleepy Hollow Motel, including a pedestrian crosswalk. These projects aim to improve safety and traffic flow. [cite: 2729-2863]
