He mentioned the implementation of a data center overlay in the UDO that mirrors the current Technology Center boundary within the Town, limiting any new data center applications. COUNTY ITEMS Staff provided an update on the courthouse renovation project. Mr. Howard presented the Courthouse Space Planning Study Update by Moseley Architects. The current space shortfall is 47,159 GSF and the future (by 2045) space shortfall is 68,264 GSF. • Option A: Closing West Cameron Street to thru traffic. New construction of a 4-story building for 108,000 GSF. Renovation and entry addition of the existing 3-story (added in 1974) for 20,400 GSF. Courthouse Entry from Davis Street. The cost would be approximately $116 million. • Option B: Same as Option A except no renovation to the 1974 addition and instead tear it down to build a new 3-story addition for 23,000 GSF. • Option C: Renovation of the existing County Administration Building at 302 North Main Street for a 4-story building for 118,000 GSF. Requires a referendum. Mr. Howard also presented two options for a potential parking garage to be built in Town: • Option 1: Closing East Cameron Street to connect the Spencer Street and Cameron Street public parking lots into a new 3-story garage for a total of 350 spaces. The cost would be approximately $36 million. • Option 2: Building a new split-level garage in the County’s existing Blue Ridge Avenue parking lot for a total of 174 spaces.

Mr. Rimeikis asked about a traffic impact analysis, which has not been done yet. Mr. Yowell asked about moving the project out into the County.

Mr. Hopewell encouraged the committee members to meet with state legislators and advocate for impact fees and also discuss the deficiencies of proffers as they relate to schools. Mr. Durr commented on the need for the two bodies as a whole to work together and talk to each other a lot more. Discussion ensued. Mr. Hively suggested a meeting of the bodies of the whole instead of an Interaction Committee meeting for successful collaboration. DISCUSSION ITEM The committee discussed the potential of having a Culpeper County Fire Inspector. Mr. Short stated there have been several occasions recognized by Chief Perryman of severe code violations and there is no formal way to monitor, track or enforce currently. Mr. Perryman mentioned his 23 reports over a 12-month period and thought 10 of them could have been prevented if a Fire Inspector was around to check commercial sprinkler systems, locked doors in the back, means of egress, and/or lack of audible or visual fire alarms. Mr. Perryman stated now is the time to be proactive instead of reactive. Discussion ensued. There was consensus for the next committee meeting to be held on Friday, January 23, 2026. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 10:44 a.m. Page 5 of 13 Page 6 of 13 Page 7 of 13 Page 8 of 13 Page 9 of 13 Page 10 of 13 Page 11 of 13 Page 12 of 13 Page 13 of 13
