Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors - Aug 19, 2026

The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on August 19, 2026, addressing several procurement and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a special use permit for a small home industry metal fabrication business relocating to a 4.5-acre parcel, and a supplemental appropriation of $9,560 to the FY26 Fire and Rescue Association operational budget from contingency funds. The board also considered zoning text amendments driven by state legislation, including updates to solar regulations and battery storage, manufactured home placement, and off-street parking requirements. A significant policy discussion focused on a proposed zoning amendment to remove data centers as an allowed use in industrial zones, with the board voting to approve a resolution to prohibit new data centers until November 30, 2026, while directing the planning commission to consider supplemental regulations for accessory data centers. The board also discussed comprehensive plan addendums related to electric transmission infrastructure siting, emphasizing minimizing impacts and prioritizing underground placement where feasible. Motions were passed to deny a waiver for early road naming and to approve a zoning text amendment allowing teen centers by special use permit. Public comments heavily focused on opposition to data centers and concerns about infrastructure impacts. The meeting concluded with a call for the board to consider legislative priorities for upcoming sessions.
