County hires Berkeley Group to help draft supplemental zoning rules for data centers and battery storage
Summary
Prince Edward County engaged the Berkeley Group to draft supplemental zoning regulations covering data centers, battery storage and related development standards; the commission plans joint listening sessions and public outreach before any ordinance amendments.
County planner Mr. Love told the commission the Berkeley Group — a consultant the county used during its comprehensive-plan work — will be engaged to draft supplemental zoning regulations for uses including battery energy storage and data centers. Mr. Love said the consultant will participate in joint listening sessions with the commission and the industrial-development authority (IDA) to gather input before drafting ordinance language.
Mr. Love described the process as informational at this stage and emphasized that no decisions will be made during listening sessions. He said potential supplemental standards could address noise limits, lighting fixtures, setbacks and water-use testing and proof-of-compliance after construction. Any draft ordinance will be a public document subject to the county’s normal public hearing process before adoption.
