Mr. Keeler said the Planning Commission on June 6, 1978, by a vote of 6 to 3, recommended that the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance be amended to include the following sections: By right - Section 8-1-33 Assembly and fabrication of machinery including engines, motors, and vehicles; including, but not limited to, aircraft, from component parts manufactured off-site; and including such on-site accessory uses as machining, welding, and sheet metal, but specifically excluding such intensive uses as punch pressing, drop hammering and foundry.

Mr. Fisher asked how the uses by right in the M-1 zone differed from those in the M-2 zone. Mr. Keeler said blacksmith shops, welding and machine shops, including punch presses exceeding 40 ton capacity and drop hammers are included by right in the M-2 zone. The public hearing was opened. Mr. Wendell Wood, the applicant, was present. He requested that'punch pressing with a maximum capacity of 40 tons be included by right instead of by special permit s.ince the proposed operation (BEDE General) for his industrial site will be performing this activity. ' ~ Mr. Don Holden, resident of the County, asked if an environmental impact study had been conducted for the proposed operation. He felt the Board should give some consideration to the inhabitants of the area as to noise, air pollfftion and the danger of the proposed testing of aircraft. In response to the concern of Mr. Holden, Mr. Fisher said the issue before the Board tonight is a zoning text amendment. However, when the property was rezoned, the Board attempted to find the location of the test flights and were assured that if any difficulties arose, theY would be changed.
