BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS REGULAR MEETING

The Pittsylvania County, Virginia, Board of Zoning Appeals regular meeting, held October 15, 2026 (the meeting metadata is dated October 16 UTC), considered three Firefly Energy LLC requests for special use permits for temporary construction access on properties owned by Larry Bernett, Linda White, and William Powell. The Board unanimously approved all three permits with the five conditions recommended by the Planning Commission, which had recommended approval 6–0. The applicant said the temporary access easements could help avoid two stream crossings as engineering plans are developed. The agenda and prior meeting minutes were also approved unanimously.

The applicant noted that the solar project was originally approved in 2022 and referred to a county siting agreement providing $12 million in direct payments over the project’s life; an amendment was approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2026. These were background references, not new spending or procurement decisions at this meeting. No procurement activity was identified.
