Okay, so our consent agenda is uh simply the approval of the planning commission minutes from um September first, twenty twenty six.

Do I have a motion?

So moved.

Second.

All

right.

All those in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

All those opposed, of course, none.

Um we have no public hearings this evening, and like I mentioned, no public in attendance.

Um so we'll move on to unfinished business.

Um does the zoning ordinance review committee has not met.

Does historic design review board have any?

But there's nothing to report.

Okay, nothing to report.

Uh did anyone attend the Montgomery County Planning Commission?

Okay.

Um, so we need to be um focus.

Update on the schedule.

Yes, thank you.

Okay.

Uh any additional items from planning commissioners.

Okay.

Um, new business.

I have no report.

Does the planning director have a report?

Uh just a couple items.

Uh so I wanted to uh remind the planning commission that we still have a uh the uh Blacksburg Horizons, the comp plan survey out.

So as much as you can encourage others to take the survey, uh we'd greatly appreciate that.

We've gotten a good response so far.

And we're we're going out into the public uh to kind of uh meet the public where they are as well.

So we'll be at the farmers market uh tomorrow, and then uh we have several other dates scheduled for the farmers market throughout uh October as well.

And looking for other other places for engagement as well.

Um we do not have any public hearings uh uh that are scheduled.

Uh we do anticipate that uh you all will receive a referring resolution from from council regarding the marijuana uh uses and vape sales uh ordinances and uh and then we would like to start that discussion at your October work session.

Um that would be on the 20th.

And then um, and then as far as the rest of this evening, uh as you're aware, uh once we adjourn here, we would go downstairs and uh uh Camaras, our consultant, uh, will lead us through the presentation on the technical report for Blacksburg Recode.

Okay.

That's all I have.

Fabulous, thank you.

And our town council representative is not in attendance this evening.

Um so we will adjourn.

All right.
