Appeal of Director of Planning determination on data center use, Tradeport 95
Tradeport 95 Land LLC, Tradeport 95 East Land LLC and Kyle Wells appealed the December 3, 2025 written determination of the Director of Planning. The determination states that, as of January 1, 2026, data center use requires conditional use approval from the Board of Supervisors. The property totals about 550+ acres at the northeast corner of Coach Road and Battery Brook Parkway and is bounded by the James River. It was rezoned from I-3 to Employment General and Warehouse and Distribution under ZOMOD. The appellant claimed vested rights based on prior written determinations and on reliance expenditures, including Dominion load letters, $200,000-per-substation engineering fees and 268 MW power plans. The Board found no specific project had been approved, denied the appeal and upheld the Director 4-0.
The other decisions are listed below. Available full write-ups and conditions are included with Pro.
