Stafford's Board of Supervisors voted this week to ask the Planning Commission to develop amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance for solar facilities and energy storage facilities. Stafford's current Comprehensive Plan includes general goals and recommendations related to the development and location of solar energy facilities; however, it does not address specific land use guidelines for evaluating solar facilities and energy storage facilities. In addition, solar facilities and energy storage facilities are permitted in various zoning districts pursuant to Stafford County Code. Still, the Code does not contain specific regulations related to such facilities' location, siting and design.
