The Chesterfield County Board of Zoning Appeals is scheduled to consider an appeal filed by property owner Wells at its Oct. 7, 2026 meeting, according to the published agenda posted through the county’s CivicClerk portal.
According to the agenda, the appeal challenges a Dec. 3, 2025 written determination issued by the Director of Planning. That determination states that, as of Jan. 1, 2026, data center use on the property requires conditional use approval from the Board of Supervisors under the zoning ordinance and is not permitted by right, per the agenda text.
The matter is relevant to residents because it concerns whether data center development on the property in question can proceed automatically under existing zoning or must first go through the county’s conditional-use review process, which includes Board of Supervisors approval, according to the agenda.
