Proposal
A 20 MW large scale solar energy facility is proposed. This use requires approval of a
Conditional Use in an Agricultural (A) District. Development of the property will generally
conform to the Conceptual Plan (Exhibit A).
The recently adopted Zoning Ordinance for large scale solar energy facilities (Zoning Ordinance
Attachment 3) includes regulations that address: general layout, location, access, anticipated
locations of transmission lines, facility decommissioning, certifications of state and federal
approvals, construction activity limits, setbacks, buffers, health and safety, and facility
operation and design. Development of the site would comply with these adopted standards,
except where proffered conditions are more restrictive.
In addition to Ordinance regulations, proffered conditions provide for the following:

Comprehensive Plan
The request property is located within an area suggested by the Plan for Rural
Residential/Agricultural uses, appropriate for single-family dwellings on a minimum of one (1)
to five (5) acres, farming and forestry, open space and conservation easements.
The Plan also includes general land use guidelines to address specific development and land use
issues. One such guideline includes the promotion of agricultural-related activities through the
consideration of non-residential land uses in Rural Residential/Agricultural areas. These include
the development of solar facilities through the conditional use process to protect adjacent
properties, the rural character and future potential land uses in these areas.
As proposed, the anticipated land use, buffering and setbacks provide an appropriate transition
to neighboring residential uses. As such, staff is supportive of this request.

Staff Contact: Steve Adams (804-748-1037) adamst@chesterfield.gov
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for a large-scale solar energy facility on the
property (329.3 acres). Trip generation rates are not available for this use; however, it is
anticipated to be minimal. Traffic generated by the proposal would be distributed to River
Road.
Thoroughfare Plan as a major arterial with a
recommended right of way width of 90 feet. River Road is a two-lane road (18 to 20-foot
pavement width) with minimal to no usable shoulders and substandard horizontal and vertical
curves. VDOT minimum geometric design standards recommend this road have 12-foot lane
widths and 10-foot shoulders. In 2018, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) traffic
count on River Road, adjacent to the property, was 660 vehicles per day (Level-of-Service A).
Section 19.1-231 of the County Code outlines the general requirements to meet the needs of
the traffic generated by a proposed development, including acceptable levels of service. The
applicant has offered the following:
Right of Way Dedications (Proffered Condition 2):
45 foot right of way dedication along River Road property frontage
30 foot right of way dedication along Eppes Falls Road property frontage
Vehicular Access (Proffered Condition 3):
One (1) direct access to River Road
One (1) direct access to Eppes Falls Road

Geography
The subject properties all drain to Winterpock Creek, either directly or through an unnamed
tributary to Winterpock Creek. Winterpock Creek traverses the project site, draining from
northwest to southeast, and then to Lake Chesdin. All of the subject properties are located within
the Appomattox River Watershed.
Natural Resources
A Resource Protection Area (RPA) Designation has been submitted to and confirmed by the
Department of Environmental Engineering Water Quality Section. RPA exists along the wetlands
and floodplains of Winterpock Creek, as well as along the unnamed tributary to Winterpock Creek
on the western portion of the property located at 13341 Eppes Falls Road. A Water Quality Impact
Assessment must be submitted to and approved by the Department of Environmental Engineering
and/or the Board of Supervisors for any improvements which encroach into the RPA.
719SN0610-2019OCT23-BOS-RPT
There are areas of wetlands within the drainage ways located on the properties, as well as
along Winterpock Creek and its tributaries. Wetlands and/or streams shall not be impacted
without approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality. Additionally, FEMA floodplain exists on the properties along Winterpock
Creek and the unnamed tributary to Winterpock Creek. No solar panels or other associated
equipment will be placed within the FEMA floodplain.
The subject properties are located within an area identified on historic maps as the Rowlett Mine.
In addition, review of the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy mapping for the
subject properties identified the presence of two potential vertical openings, one on the property
located at 13341 Eppes Falls Road and another located on a private property to the north. The
vertical openings are primarily located within the limits of the on-site RPA and floodplain;
however, due to unknown locations of any potential very old mines, air shafts and vents in the
general area, the developer will be required to submit a geotechnical report prior to site plan
approval for any on-site areas identified as potential mining areas. The geotechnical report will,
through the use of borings and other techniques, locate potential mine shafts, air vents,
exploratory pits, etc. in the areas where potential mining may have occurred on the properties.
The report will also make recommendations based on the findings as to reclamation, setbacks of
solar panels, roads, or other types of use needed to address any health, safety and welfare issues.
The applicant has offered Proffered Condition 7 to address this impact.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Steep slopes greater than 20 percent are difficult to stabilize when disturbed. The steep slopes on
the subject properties border the onsite tributaries; therefore, disturbance of these slopes will
result in the increased potential for sediment to impact the streams if erosion occurs. These steep
slopes should remain in their natural, undisturbed state to the maximum extent practicable, unless
otherwise approved by the Department of Environmental Engineering. The applicant has offered
Proffered Condition 4 to address this impact.
Stormwater Management
The development of the subject properties will be subject to the Part IIB technical criteria of the
Virginia Stormwater Management Program Regulations for water quality and quantity.

9/17/19 Applicants Comments:
76 of 329 acres within buffer/setbacks
Hosted community meeting, subject site and local solar farm visits
Responded to community concerns by removing panels closest to River
Road; providing larger setbacks from neighboring Eppes Falls Road
properties and replanting old logging road access; and proffering
geotechnical study to address mining activity
Property value studies indicate no negative impacts
Use presents low environmental, traffic and noise impacts
Agricultural areas appropriate for use larger parcels, more buffering,
preserves industrial property
Commission Discussion:
In response to questions of the Commission, staff addressed limits on
residential parcel divisions for the site; identification of one vertical on-site
mine opening located within floodplain; requirements for detailed
geotechnical investigation and Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy
(DMME) permitting; and requirements for a traffic management plan to
address construction impacts on roads.
In response to questions of the Commission, the applicant reviewed the
benefits of using agricultural properties for solar facilities and appraisal studies
resulting in no impact on property values due to proximity to solar farm.
Mr. Stariha noted positive changes made to case as a result of citizen
engagement.
