Other Planning Items:
Discussion — Proposed Ordinance Amendment — Solar (Photovoltaic)
Energy Facility
Planner Tyler Klein provided an overview saying the proposed amendment to Chapter
165 — Zoning Ordinance would add solar (photovoltaic) power generating facilities (i.e. solar
farms) to the permitted use list for the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District. Currently, he said,
public utility generating facilities are allowed as a "public utility," and solar generating energy
facilities are typically privately -owned and thus do not fall under the definition of a "public
utility." Planner Klein said Staff has drafted a revision to the Zoning Ordinance to include a
definition for a "solar (photovoltaic) energy facility," provided supplementary use regulations,
Minute Book Number 43
Board of Supervisors Closed Session and Regular Meeting of 01/10/18
County of Frederick, Virginia
208
and revised the permitted uses use list for the RA Zoning District to allow solar energy facilities.
He said the intent of this modification is to provide additional opportunities for uses in the
County's Rural Areas that preserve the rural and agricultural integrity of these areas and are
consistent with the goals and strategies outlined in the 2035 Comprehensive Policy Plan.
The Board and Planner Klein discussed the fluctuation of energy prices and the length of
time before a facility would be considered abandoned. Vice Chairman Lofton said that 365 days
seems like a long time before considering a site abandoned. Supervisor Wells noted that such
operations could benefit the farming community, but will use up farmable land. Supervisor
Slaughter inquired about the amount of land in the County that can be used for such facilities.
Planner Klein noted that the required proximity to transmission sites will limit the number of
places where solar (photovoltaic) facilities could locate. Supervisor Dunn inquired about
landowner maintenance. Chairman DeHaven said he would not want to restrict an individual
user who is not a utility. By consensus, the Board asked the Planning Staff to return with further
information on the matter.
Board Liaison Reports
Vice Chairman Lofton, member of the Extension Leadership Council, noted the variety
of services offered by Extension including partnering with the Lord Fairfax Health District to
provide diabetes counseling and the in -school financial skills program that reached 488 students
last year.
Vice Chairman Lofton, Social Services Board liaison, noted that the Social Services
Board reported 34 substance exposed infants in 2017 which is indicative of the opioid epidemic.
Supervisor Dunn noted the earlier election of the Vice Chairman, and said he has the
utmost respect for Supervisor Wells,
Supervisor Dunn read a statement in support for Virginia House of Delegates HB 163 in
order to ask the General Assembly to give the County the authority to raise revenue from
developers and builders to offset actual capital costs. He requested that the Board submit a
resolution addressing the issue at its next meeting.
Citizen Comments (None)
Board of Supervisors Comments
Supervisor Slaughter said she attended the Problem Solving Research and Independent
Study Program recently and was impressed with the amazing projects completed by students
from all the County middle schools.
Chairman DeHaven welcomed the new Board members.
Supervisor Trout thanked the Board for welcoming her. She said that her service on the
Board is not a conflict of interest because she is employed by the Frederick County Public
Schools which is governed by the School Board rather than the Board of Supervisors.
Supervisor Trout said it often happens in the state of Virginia that school employees serve on
