Solar Energy Ordinance and Policy Update
Goochland County is proposing updates to our zoning ordinance related to solar energy facilities and energy storage facilities. Accompanying this ordinance update will be a policy that will provide guidance for zoning related to these facilities in areas such as siting provisions, size, buffering, impact mitigation, land disturbance, and decommissioning. We do encourage that you share directly with staff any questions and comments on the ordinance and policy recommendations by email @ commdev@goochlandva.us. In addition, further opportunity for comment would also be available at future hearings before the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.
The next public hearing on the ordinance and policy will be before the Planning Commission on April 6, 2023. The public hearings start at 7PM and will be held in the Board Meeting Room (250) at the County Administration Building at 1800 Sandy Hook Road.
