Item 2: Review of a Conditional Use Permit for Redbud Run Utility Scale Solar Project.
The HRAB considered the above referenced Conditional Use Permit application during their meeting
on November 16, 2021. The HRAB reviewed information from the Virginia Department of Historic
Resources (VDHR) and information provided by the Applicant. This application seeks to construct a
utility scale solar project located on three parcels of land that total 264 acres. The site is located on
the eastern side of Woods Mill Road (Route 660), north of Pine Road (Route 661), approximately 0.5-
mile north of Berryville Pike (Route 7) in Winchester.
After reviewing the provided information, the Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) recommended
approval of the Conditional Use Permit as presented. The HRAB did recommend the Applicant consider
the utilization of methods such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) or terrestrial light detection and
ranging (LiDAR) to document the presence of archeological objects or sites.
Meeting was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
