Adopted

Rules tightened, then five projects grandfathered: after adopting stricter standards on Oct 21 (setback from adjacent homes/schools/rivers raised from **100 ft to 750 ft**), supervisors voted **unanimously** on Dec 2, 2025 to grandfather five projects — Stafford Technology Campus, Potomac Church Tech Center, Centreport Gateway/Pemberton, **Vantage VA-4 (Melrod)**, and Cranes Corner — preserving pre-Oct 21 rules. The Planning Commission recommended grandfathering 6-1 (Commissioner Laura Sellers dissenting). Supervisors also unanimously asked Dominion to bury the 70-mile, 500-kV Kraken Loop line.

Key data: Setback 100 ft → 750 ft; 5 projects grandfathered; PC recommendation 6-1

Status date: 2025-12-02

No agricultural mitigation requirement is referenced.

Status date: 2026-02-20 (comment close)

Limitation: Virginia has no agricultural-impact mitigation agreement program comparable to Illinois'; none found. The rezoning article was read as a search result. (confidence detail: VERIFIED_PRIMARY (DEQ) + CORROBORATED (vote))
