Onley council appoints Billye Custis to Planning Commission, asks commission to review 50‑foot B‑G setback

Council appointed Billye D. Custis to the Onley Planning Commission after Town Manager Jamye Salazar read her letter of interest. The motion to appoint was made by Jason Campbell, seconded by Bill Ferguson, and passed on a recorded roll call (Bloxom yes; Campbell yes; Corbin yes; Ferguson yes; Lang yes; Zember yes).

Separately, council voted to refer the town’s zoning ordinance language on the 50‑foot setback requirement in the B‑G (Business‑General) district to the Planning Commission for review and a recommendation at the September meeting. The motion was made by Daniel Bloxom and seconded by Rodney Lang; the roll call recorded all six listed councilmembers as voting yes.

Town Manager Salazar and Councilmen Bloxom and Lang said they will coordinate with the Planning Commission to schedule a meeting in the coming weeks. The referral is procedural — no amendment to the ordinance was adopted at the Aug. 3 meeting; the commission’s subsequent recommendation will determine whether the council moves to change the zoning text.
