Spotsylvania Board of Supervisors Reduces Recommended Data Center Setbacks

The Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors voted 4-3 to reduce the recommended setbacks for data centers from residential property lines and public spaces.

The board agreed to advertise 400-foot setbacks from residential property lines, as well as from hospitals, daycares, parks, places of worship, and public and private schools.

The decision was made after a joint work session with the planning commission, where the supervisors discussed design standards for data centers on land zoned Industrial.
