MR. ANDERSON, IS ANYONE SIGNED UP? UH, YES MA'AM.

MATTHEW PURDY.

AND IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND, UH, DISTRICT YOU LIVE IN WHEN YOU COME UP, PLEASE.

HEY, MATTHEW PURDY.

HAPPY CREEK.

UH, I DON'T, I DIDN'T REALLY COME WITH ANYTHING PLANNED TO SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE I STAND ON THE TAX INCREASE.

UM, I'M LIVID ABOUT IT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LIVID ABOUT IT.

UM, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE DEALING WITH A PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX THAT'S MUCH HIGHER THAN A TON OF COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA.

UM, I THINK YOU GUYS, UH, KNOW THAT THIS COUNTY HAS A SPENDING PROBLEM.

AND I'M NOT BLAMING THE INDIVIDUALS HERE.

I THINK IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A, A LONG TIME.

UM, AND NEEDS TO BE REIGNED IN.

WE NEED TO REASSESS WHERE WE'RE AT AND LOOK AT THINGS AS, HEY, MAYBE WE NEED TO DO THINGS TO BRING THE KIND OF PEOPLE HERE THAT WE WANT.

UH, PEOPLE THAT TAKE CARE OF THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE.

UM, YOU CAN LOWER THE TAX BASE AND, AND BRING THOSE KINDS OF PEOPLE IN.

AND, UH, ON TOP OF THAT, I'M, I, I'M VERY KEENLY AWARE OF THE SCHOOL BUDGETING.

UM, AND THAT IT'S BEEN GOING UP ABOUT 2 MILLION.

YEAH, ABOUT 2 MILLION, 3 MILLION EVERY YEAR, MORE OR LESS.

AND, HEY, ROLL EXAMINER.

HOW YOU DOING? UM, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THE, UM, SCHOOL BOARD, UM, TO, LIKE, THEY LAY OUT WHAT THEIR AGENDA IS AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE'S A PATTERN OF THEM NOT PUTTING UP THEIR, UM, AGENDA ITEMS WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUDGET.

AND I'LL, I'M JUST GONNA COME UP REAL QUICK JUST TO SHOW YOU GUYS ON MY PHONE.

AND SO THEY DON'T BRING UP THE BUDGET, UM, ON A CONSISTENT BASIS.

THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY.

AND THEN WHAT THEY DO IS THEY HAND THE OTHER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS THE BUDGET IN PERSON.

SO THERE'S A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY HERE.

THERE'S A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY HERE.

AND SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS DON'T LET THE SITUATION GET WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS.

FLATTEN THEIR BUDGET, DON'T INCREASE IT WHATSOEVER.

THEY'RE SHOWING TO YOU THAT THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE.

THEY'RE CLOWNING YOU GUYS, THEY'RE LAUGHING IN YOUR FACE.

THEY'RE PRESENTING THESE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR BUDGETS.

AND THEN LIKE WHEN YOU GRAB, UM, A FRACTION OF IT, THAT'S STILL A VICTORY TO THEM AS LONG AS THEY'RE STILL DOING BAD BEHAVIOR, AS LONG AS THEY'RE, THEY'RE PAYING FAT CAT ADMINISTRATORS AND LEAVING THEIR TEACHERS BEHIND.

SO I IMPLORE YOU GUYS TO THINK ABOUT REDUCING

[00:05:01]

BECAUSE THIS IS A SPENDING PROBLEM.

IT IS NOT, IT IS NOT A REVENUE PROBLEM.

THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? MR. HENDERSON? UH, ANN MIRANDA.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, ANN MIRANDA, HAPPY CREEK DISTRICT.

UM, I HAVE LIKE OTHER HORN COUNTY RESIDENTS JUST RECENTLY RECEIVED MY PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX BILL.

AND NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT AND I DON'T REALLY NEED TO REMIND OTHER PEOPLE , UM, ABOUT JUST HOW UNJUST THIS IS.

AND THIS IS MOSTLY FOR, UM, PEOPLE IN THE ROOM, PEOPLE WATCHING ONLINE, UM, WHO'VE RECENTLY RECEIVED THEIR TAX BILL.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS BOARD VOTED TO INCREASE THE TAX RATES ON BOTH THE PROPERTY TAX AND THE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX.

AND, UM, I REALIZE EVEN IF RIGHT NOW IT'S, UH, TOO LATE TO REVERSE IT FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, JUST GONNA KEEP COMING BACK AND REMINDING PEOPLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SO THAT IT'S FRESH ON THEIR MEMORIES UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THAT YOU CAN REVERSE THESE TAX INCREASES COMPLETELY, BECAUSE SIMPLY IT'S UNJUST THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO KEEP SUFFERING AND ENDURING THIS.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? MR. HENDERSON? UH, NO MA'AM.

WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? SECOND CALL.

ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? THIRD AND FINAL.

OKAY.

UM, I CHECKED ON THOSE AGAIN TODAY.

WE'VE BEEN WAITING ON THE CONTRACTOR TO SECURE THE MATERIALS AND BEGIN THE INSTALLATION.

THE LATEST WE GOT FROM 'EM, UH, TODAY WAS IN THE NEXT 30 TO 60 DAYS.

I HOPE THAT THEY CAN KEEP THAT UP.

UH, ROCKLAND ROAD BRIDGE HAD CONTRACTORS ON SCHEDULE.

WE HAVE COMPLETED THE COSMETIC IMPROVEMENTS ON THE DETOUR ROUTE AND, UH, THEY'RE CHECKING ON THAT ABOUT EVERY TWO WEEKS TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT NEEDS PASSING ON THAT.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER ISSUES THE BOARD WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO CHECK ON? ANYONE HAVE ANY CONCERNS? I I HAVE, UM, I THINK I MENTIONED IT TO YOU BACK A WHILE, THE UM, LITTLE SIGN THAT SAYS WHEN YOU'RE COMING INTO BENTONVILLE, SOMEBODY STOLE IT AND I YES, YOU DID.

AND OUR, UH, WE HAVE MY SIGNED GUY HAS PLACED THE ORDER FOR THAT.

OKAY.

YEAH.

THE PERSON THAT LIVES THERE CLOSEST TO IT, KEISHA REMINDED ME THAT IT'S, IT'S STILL NOT THERE.

SO YOU KNOW HOW THAT WORKS.

HE REMINDS ME, I REMIND YOU.

BUT, UH, ALL OF OUR SIGNS THAT ARE, ARE, ARE, LIKE, THAT ARE MADE UP IN, UH, OUR, UH, CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE IN OUR CENTRAL SIGN SHOP AND THEY DO IT FOR THE WHOLE STATE.

FOR TO DO INVENTORY.

SO DEPENDING ON WHERE IT IS IN THAT LINE,

[00:10:01]

IT'S REALLY IN BAD SHAPE.

AND NOW I'M NOTICING IT'S ACTUAL POTHOLE STARTING TO, TO COME IN JUST IN THE, IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

I DON'T KNOW.

I COULD SEE THAT IF IT WAS WINTERTIME WITH FREEZE AND THAW, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE POPPING UP NOW.

BUT, UM, I WAS HOPING WHEN I SAW THE PIPES GO IN THAT THAT WAS PREEMINENT OF WE WERE GONNA GET RESURFACING DONE.

AND, UH, THIS PROCESS WAS GOING ALONG QUITE WELL.

THERE WERE STATE APPROPRIATIONS AT ONE POINT, UH, AND THOSE KIND OF GOT HELD UP WHEN ANOTHER COMPETING INTEREST CAME IN.

IT WANTS TO MAINTAIN RAIL SERVICE AND OFFER A TRAIL OPTION.

UM, SO THIS COMPETING IDEA IS BEING EVALUATED BY VDOT AND, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, THEY'RE, HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY IS TRYING TO SET, SET UP A SITUATION WHERE THERE'S AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON AND A FAIR EVALUATION CAN BE DONE.

BUT I WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE, UH, TO LEARN ABOUT THIS, UH, THAT THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, THE STUDIES THAT CAME OUT IN APRIL, 2023 OR, OR I'M NOT SURE IT WAS 23 OR 21, BUT, UM, THE POTENTIAL FOR BENEFITS OF THESE NINE TOWNS AND THREE COUNTIES.

THERE'S OVER $30 MILLION IN TERMS OF TOURISM OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING INTO THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY.

SO, UH, FRONT ROW IN, IN WARREN COUNTY AT THE NORTH END OF THIS, AND IT GOES, UM, UH, DOWN SOUTH.

UM, I CAN'T REMEMBER RIGHT NOW HOW FAR, HOW FAR DOWN IT GOES, BUT, UM, A LOT OF COMMUNITIES STAND TO BENEFIT FROM IT.

AND THERE IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN DO IN WARREN COUNTY TO, TO HELP.

UM, YOU CAN GO TO SHENANDOAH RAIL TRAIL.ORG, UH, AND THERE'S A PETITION THAT YOU CAN SIGN AND, AND ESSENTIALLY STATE YOUR SUPPORT FOR, FOR THE PROJECT AND HOPEFULLY, UH, VDOT WILL COME OUT AND STAY WITH THEIR ORIGINAL DECISION.

OH, I'M, I'M JUMPING REAL QUICK AHEAD.

OKAY, .

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL JUST PRESENT IT.

AND, AND THEN, UH, THE APPLICANT STRIKE ONE'S.

THAT'S, THAT'S FINE.

THAT'S FINE.

UM, YEAH, THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED, UH, ON HOSPITALITY DRIVE AND, UH, WINCHESTER ROAD.

IT'S IDENTIFIED ON TAX MAP 12 J IS LOT TWO, UH, LOCATED IN THE NORTH RIVER MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT.

UH, PROPERTY IS LOCATED, UH, IN PART IN THE HIGHWAY

[00:35:01]

THE APPLICANT DOES PLAN TO DEVELOP A FOUR STORY 91 ROOM HOTEL MOTEL AS A BY RIGHT USE, BUT, BUT THE COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION 180 13 G UH, REQUIRES THAT ANY STRUCTURE ABOVE THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 40 FEET THAT IS ALLOWED IN THE COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT MUST HAVE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

UH, THE APPLICANT, UH, HAS PROPOSED A HOTEL MOTEL TO BE DESIGNED TO BE 53 FEET IN THE, AND IS ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO FEET IS A BUFFER FOR A TOTAL HEIGHT OF 55 FEET.

THE, UH, THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY IS A VACANT LOT AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A, A GATEWAY SIGN FOR THE BLUE RIDGE SHADOW SUBDIVISION, UH, IT DOES MEET, UH, THE CONCEPT PLAN DOES MEET THE REQUIRED SETBACKS FOR PARKING AND, UH, THE BUILDING SETBACKS IN THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT.

UM, PLAINTIFF COMMISSION DID HAVE SOME CONCERNS RELATING TO, UH, THE HEIGHT OF THE, UH, SUBJECT, UH, UH, PROPERTY HOTEL IN RELATION TO THE OTHER HOTEL.

UM, AND THE OTHER HOTEL, UH, IN MY RESEARCH, UM, IT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED, APPROVED FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR 61 FEET BUILDING.

AND, UM, THAT STRUCTURE ITSELF SITS ABOUT 10 FEET BELOW GRADE, SO IT'S ABOUT 51 FEET, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT IT FROM, UH, THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY.

SO THIS, UH, IS NOT, BUT A COUPLE FEET ACTUALLY ABOVE THAT IT WOULD BE, IT'S, IT IS HIGHER GRADE.

SO I WOULD SAY ACTUALLY PROBABLY CLOSER TO MAYBE, MAYBE 10 FEET ABOVE WHAT THE EXISTING ONE MIGHT BE.

UM, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID MOVE THIS FORWARD WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

THE HOTEL SHALL NOT EXCEED 55 FEET IN HEIGHT.

NUMBER TWO, THE EXTERIOR FACADE OF THE HOTEL SHALL INCLUDE STONE OR A FAUX STONE FACADE.

ACCENT NUMBER THREE, ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS OF THE HOTEL MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DURING THE FINAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS, AND APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH COUNTY ORDINANCES.

THIS PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN PROPERLY ADVERTISED ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS NOTIFIED.

AND, UM, THE PENONI REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

GOOD EVENING.

EXCUSE ME.

MY NAME'S MARK HUME.

I DO WORK FOR PONE IN WINCHESTER.

I'M HERE, UM, ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING, UH, MIKE ARTS, WHO'S THE, UH, PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO OFFER NECESSARILY, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU SHOULD HAVE ANY, ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? UM, JUST LOOKING AT THE, THE RENDERINGS, IT, IT LOOKS LIKE THE, UH, THE BUILDING HAS THE BIG HYATT STUDIOS, UH, SIGN AND LOGO ON, ON BOTH SIDES.

WILL THERE BE AN ILLUMINATED BLUE LETTER H FACING THE HOMES IN THE SHADOWS? I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT.

OKAY.

UM, I'M CERTAIN THAT, THAT ANY REQUIREMENTS COULD BE ACCOMMODATED.

OKAY.

BUT IT WOULD BE TO CALL ATTENTION TO IT, PROBABLY LESS SO FROM THE, FROM THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE THAN FROM, UH, 5 22 AND THREE 40.

BUT YEAH, I'M NOT GONNA BASE MY VOTE ON THIS, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE ILLUMINATED SIGNAGE FACING THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEHIND THERE.

UNDERSTOOD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS MR. WINLAND? ARE THERE WHEN THEY DO PLANNING LIKE THAT, ARE THERE RESTRICTIONS BUILT IN AND, AND YES.

UH, THAT, THAT WOULD BE DURING THE SITE PLAN PHASE.

WE WOULD LOOK AT THAT AND IN CONJUNCTION MAKE SURE THAT IT MET OUR ORDINANCE FOR SIGNAGE AND, UH, FOR WALL SIGNS FOR LIGHTING, UH, FOR PARKING LOT SIGN, UH, LIGHTING, UH, ANY, ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT COULD IMPACT ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS.

WE WOULD REQUIRE NOW A, UM, A LIGHTING, UH, PLAN, BASICALLY SHOWING THE EXTENT OF, OF THE LIGHTING AND THEN ALSO A, A,

[00:40:01]

SO WE WOULD DEFINITELY ADDRESS THAT AND I WOULD SUSPECT THAT, UH, IT WOULD LOOK SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE LITTLE DOWN THE ROAD WITH MARRIOTT, YOU KNOW, UH, FACING THE WINCHESTER.

SO WE WOULD WE'LL CONSIDER THAT.

DEFINITELY.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

AND THE CHAIR, I THINK DR.

DALEY WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING.

YES, SIR.

JUST TO COMMENT, MA'AM.

UM, IF THE BOARD WANTED TO, THE BOARD CAN MAKE THAT ONE OF THE CONDITIONS.

THIS IS A CONDITION WE USE PERMIT AND MIGHT GIVE MR. HAM A FEW MINUTES TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONJECTURE IT CORRECTLY.

IF YOU, IF YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT TONIGHT, IT'LL HAVE TO BE PRETTY VAGUE.

LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, SOME OF YOU COULDN'T JUST SAY NO ILLUMINATED SIGNS FACING THE HOMEOWNERS ON WHATEVER SIDE THAT IS BECAUSE THERE'S SOME LEGALLY REQUIRED ILLUMINATED SIGNS.

UM, MM-HMM, .

SO YOU COULD, YOU COULD SAY, UM, NO LARGE ADVERTISING OR OTHER UNNECESSARY SIGNS FACING THE HOMEOWNERS, YOU COULD ADD THAT AS A CONDITION.

PERSONALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT.

IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION ON THE BOARD, THAT'S FINE.

IT'S ME.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

MR. HENDERSON, HAS ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS? NO, MA'AM.

WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SECOND CALL.

ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK THIRD AND FINAL? YES, SIR.

SO I WAS ASK, ASKING MR. HAM, HE SAID THAT IF THE BOARD DECIDES TO DO THIS, YOU WANT TO ADOPT THIS WITH THAT AS A CONDITIONAL USE, ADDITIONAL USE, AND WE'LL TAKE IT FROM THE TAPE AS TO WHAT HE SAID, THAT THERE ARE A FEW MOMENTS THAT ARE ABOUT NON-RES, ALL NON-LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, ET CETERA.

YEAH.

AND THAT'S WASN'T TERRIBLY PRECISE, BUT AGAIN, IT CAN'T REALLY BE THAT PRECISE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST PROHIBIT ALL SIGNS FACING THAT DIRECTION FOR THE REASON WE TALKED ABOUT.

OKAY.

BUT A, UH, PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

IS THERE A DISCUSSION? WOULD THIS BE THE TIME TO ADD THAT IN OR HAS THAT I THOUGHT HE MADE THAT MOTION.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT HAD TO BE AFTER THE HE SAID HE WANTED TO ADD THAT AND I DID SOMEONE AGREE WITH HIM? I DON'T RECALL.

OKAY.

SECOND.

OKAY.

THERE YOU GO.

.

ALL RIGHT.

UM, SO I THINK THAT WOULDN'T A MOTION HAVE TO BE TO, TO APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE WITH THAT? 'CAUSE WE HAVEN'T APPROVED.

YES.

LET, LET'S DO THAT.

LET'S, UH, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU, UH, I'LL JUST READ WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST AND YOU COULD, UH, MR. STEINMEYER, YOU COULD SAY SO MOVED.

IF YOU AGREE WITH ME.

I, OKAY.

I MOVE.

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVED THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST OF PENONI INCORPORATED GREEN PEARL HOSPITALITY, LLC, KENNETH PAT HACK FOR A BUILDING HEIGHT AND EXCESSIVE 40 FEET WITH THE CONDITION AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF.

AND WITH THE ADDITIONAL CONDITION THAT NO LARGE OR UNNECESSARY ILLUMINATED SIGNS BE PLACED FACING, ADJOINING HOMEOWNERS.

ON WHAT SIDE IS THAT? I BELIEVE IT'S THE WESTBOUND SIDE THAT FACES BLUE RIDGE SHADOWS ON THE WESTBOUND SIDE THAT FACES BLUE RIDGE SHADOWS.

MS. SEAN PIERRE.

I HOPE I SAID THAT RIGHT.

I REQUEST TO AMEND CHAPTER 180 OF THE WARREN COUNTY CODE TO AMEND, UM, 180 DASH EIGHT C TO ADD DEFINITIONS FOR CAMPING UNIT AND TENT TO MODIFY THE EXISTING DEFINITIONS OF COMMERCIAL CAMPGROUND AND COMMERCIAL CAMPING AND TO REPEAL THE EXISTING DEFINITIONS OF A UNIT SPACE VACATION CAMP DAY AND VACATION CAMP OVERNIGHT TO AN END 18 DASH 20 1D TO MODIFY THE LISTED COMMERCIAL CAMPGROUND USE AND TO REPEAL THE LISTED VACATION CAMP DAY OVERNIGHT USE IN THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS TO AMEND CHAPTER CODE 180 DASH 27 D TO MODIFY THE LISTED COMMERCIAL CAMPGROUND USE AND THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS TO AMEND CODE 180 DASH 41 TO MODIFY THE EXISTING SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS FOR COMMERCIAL CAMPGROUNDS AND TO AMEND CODE 180 DASH 57 TO REPEAL THE EXISTING SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS FOR VACATION CAMP DAY OR OVERNIGHT.

MR. , THAT'S A LOT I KNOW WHO WROTE THAT , I THINK IT WAS YOU A LAWYER.

UM, SO I WILL FOREGO REPEATING THAT.

UM, BUT THIS AMENDMENT IS BEING REQUESTED BY A PROPERTY OWNER WHO INTENDS TO APPLY FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A CAMPGROUND TO ESTABLISH A TENT ONLY COMMERCIAL CAMPGROUND WITH FEWER THAN 10 CAMPSITES ON A PROPERTY.

THE CURRENT DEFINITION FOR COMMERCIAL CAMPGROUND ONLY INCLUDES RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKS AND CERTAIN SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS ARE ARGUABLY MORE APPROPRIATE FOR A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK.

THE CURRENT DEFINITION OF COMMERCIAL CAMPGROUND ALSO REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 10 CAMPING UNIT SPACES AND THE EXISTING DEFINITIONS OF COMMERCIAL CAMPING AND COMMERCIAL CAMPGROUND.

THESE DEFINITIONS AND SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN AMENDED OR UPDATED SINCE THIS ORIGINAL ADOPTION.

THE EXISTING DEFINITION OF COMMERCIAL CAMPGROUND IS INCLUSIVE OF ALL CAMPGROUNDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A FEE IS CHARGED FOR CAMPING.
