Board adopted a zoning text amendment 4-1 (Supervisor Culbertson dissenting) restricting new data centers to land zoned planned commercial industrial development (PCID, currently only the Vint Hill area), removing them as a permitted use in business park (BP) zones, requiring a special exception, closed-loop or air-cooled systems and underground power lines. Does not apply to the three projects already approved or in review in PCID, including operational OVHcloud (FauquierNow via WTOP).

Virginia localities control data center siting mainly through zoning, so Board of Supervisors and City Council records are the main local decisions; DEQ permits and SCC dockets cover air emissions and power. Official sources are preferred over news, and company claims are attributed. Full methodology.
