Week Ahead for October 12, 2026: Charlottesville PC to consider special exceptions for student housing building at 843 West Main Street
The Fluvanna Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on removing data centers as a permitted special-use option in industrial zoning districts. The proposal is part of a broader weekly roundup of upcoming local government meetings and actions in the Charlottesville region.
The Fluvanna Planning Commission will consider proposed changes to the county zoning code that would eliminate data centers as a use allowed by special-use permit in industrial districts. The matter is scheduled for a public hearing during the commission’s October 13 meeting and reflects local concerns about how the county can regulate large energy and infrastructure projects under Virginia law.
The article does not identify a specific data center developer or project. The data center zoning proposal appears alongside hearings on a solar facility, updates to the county’s comprehensive plan, and other local government business across Charlottesville-area jurisdictions.
