Board of Supervisors Public Hearing - February 9, 2023

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given pursuant to Chapter 11, 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia as amended, that the Northumberland County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on Thursday, February 9, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. at the new Courthouse at 220 Judicial Place, Heathsville, VA, and telephonically in order to consider the following:

1) A revision to the Northumberland County Zoning Ordinance § 148-155, Solar Energy Facilities, to prohibit solar energy facilities in R-1, Residential General and R-2 Residential Waterfront zoned properties, require a solar siting agreement, an environmental impact statement, a landscape agreement and surety, reduce the time for revision of the decommissioning plan from every five years to every two years, and increase the time to decommission a solar energy facility from six to twelve months. The Planning Commission recommended that the Board consider keeping the revision of the decommissioning plan to five years, as they feel revising every two years is burdensome.
