Bedford County agendas set rezonings, special use permits and a tax-exempt request — but no minutes yet
Two Bedford County bodies met over the past two weeks — the Planning Commission on Oct. 6 and the Board of Supervisors on Oct. 13 — but neither has published minutes, so no votes, outcomes or dollar figures are confirmed in the records available. What follows comes from the published agendas only.
Planning Commission: four public hearing items
The Planning Commission met Oct. 6, 2026 at 6:00 PM at 122 E. Main Street Suite G-03, Bedford, VA. The main business was a public hearing covering two rezoning applications and two special use permit applications:
- Rezoning Application #RZ26-0011 – Holly Field Farm LLC (PCD to PRD, Remove HO)
- Rezoning Application #RZ26-0012 – Kenneth R. & Kristie D. Brown (C-2 & R-1 to R-1)
- Special Use Permit Application #SU26-0005 – Premier Construction LLC ("Meeting Hall")
- Special Use Permit Application #SU26-0007 – Jacob Rothgeb ("General Office" use)
The agenda also listed approval of the agenda, approval of the September 1, 2026 regular meeting minutes, and a citizen comment period. Old Business and New Business were listed with no items specified.
The agenda does not describe what the two rezonings would allow, where the properties are located, or what conditions might attach to either special use permit. The district designations are given above exactly as they appear in the agenda. No recommendation, vote or outcome is recorded in the materials available.
Board of Supervisors: tax-exempt request and software licensing
The Board of Supervisors met Oct. 13, with a joint worksession with the Economic Development Authority and a regular meeting. The regular meeting included a public hearing on Ordinance #O 101326-02, a tax-exempt status request from Impact Living Services.
Also on the agenda was Resolution #R 101326-01, a software licensing renewal for the Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force's Digital Forensic Program.
The worksession included the Economic Development Annual Report and presentations from Bedford County Public Schools, Build Smart Institute, and Central Virginia Community College.
The agenda does not state the value of the software licensing renewal, the scope or dollar effect of the tax-exempt status requested, or whether either item was voted on.
What the record does not show
No minutes have been published for either meeting, so this roundup cannot report what was approved, denied, deferred or tabled. No vote tallies and no dollar amounts appear in the agendas.
One discrepancy is worth flagging: the meeting records list a Bedford, VA address, while the town label supplied with this roundup reads Bedford County, TN. Readers should confirm details against the official agendas and minutes rather than relying on this summary.
Coming up
No upcoming meetings are listed in the materials provided for the next 14 days. That absence is not evidence that nothing is scheduled — residents should check the county's official meeting calendar and posted agendas for the next Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors session.
