Public Hearing: Minor Special Exception Application TLSPEX2023-0004 for PetCo Veterinary Hospital (Battlefield Shopping Center)

TOWN OF LEESBURG
NOTICE OF TOWN COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING
TO CONSIDER MINOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPLICATION
TLSPEX2023-0004; PETCO VETERINARY HOSPITAL
(BATTLEFIELD SHOPPING CENTER)

Pursuant to Sections 15.2-1427, 15.2-2204, 15.2-2205 and 15.2-2285 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, the LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL will hold a public hearing on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER
28, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. in the Town Council Chambers, 25 West Market Street, Leesburg, Virginia 20176, to consider Minor Special Exception TLSPEX2023-0004, PetCo Veterinary Hospital
(Battlefield Shopping Center).

The subject of the application is an existing commercial space addressed as 1031 Edwards Ferry Road. The property is zoned Community Retail/Commercial District (B-3) and is further described as
Loudoun County Parcel Identification Number (PIN) 147-25-2096.

Special Exception Application TLSPEX2023-0004 is a request by Onyx Creative (applicant) for a 1,749 square foot Veterinary Hospital as part of a proposed 12,199 square foot PetCo retail store pursuant
to Town of Leesburg Zoning Ordinance (TLZO) Section 6.5.2, Use Regulations. The proposed PetCo retail store is a permitted use within the Community Retail/Commercial (B-3) zoning district
and is not part of the special exception request. 

The Subject Property is located in what the Legacy Leesburg Town Plan (LLTP) describes as an “Area to Transform or Evolve” on the Area Based Land Use Initiatives Map (LLTP pg. 72). The property
is further designated within LLTP as a “Retail Center” on the Character Areas for Preservation and Change Map (LLTP pg. 76). The property is also within the Gateway District (Overlay). Since this proposal
is primarily an interior use with only minor exterior alterations, it is anticipated that compliance with the Gateway District may potentially be accomplished administratively.

Additional information and copies of the application are available at the Department of Community Development located on the second floor of the Leesburg Town Hall, 25 West Market Street, Leesburg,
Virginia 20176, during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), or by contacting Scott E. Parker, AICP, at 703-771-2771 or sparker@leesburgva.gov.

At these hearings, all persons desiring to express their views concerning these matters will be heard. Persons requiring special accommodations at the meeting should contact the Clerk of the Council at
(703) 771-2733 three days in advance of the meeting. For TTY/TDD service, use the Virginia Relay Center by dialing 711.
