Nelson County
“After receiving approval for conditional rezoning of an
adjacent parcel of land, Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton is a step closer to
being able to use the land for brewery-related activities. At its meeting Jan.
14, the Nelson County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to approve an application
from Taylor Smack, the owner of Blue Mountain Brewery, for the conditional
rezoning from residential to agriculture of a 2.4-acre property that is
adjacent to the existing brewery site...
‘As a piece of Blue Mountain property, it’s just not going
to make a lot of sense to have it zoned [residential], no matter what,’ Smack
said. He said the property potentially could be used for several things, such
as landscaping, growing more hops, installing a wedding pergola, adding parking
and building an events facility, but ‘it’s a little bit up in the air.’...
The next step for the brewery is to get a special-use permit
for an approximately 5,000-square-foot events center, and, once that is
obtained, officials can move on to the review of a major site plan. Currently,
the brewery has submitted a minor ‘thin-bones’ site plan, Smack said.”
