“Yes, thank you. And speaking firsthand by the residents here, I mean, at the least there's homes next to Bridalwood, there's homes next to Wentworth Creek that will be still next to the data center. So I mean, two right off the bat, but I'm sure there's a lot more if staff were to review that. I guess my first question, when we, it was kind of mentioned a few minutes ago, that we're trying not to have non-conforming use. Can someone better kind of explain what exactly that is referring to in terms of, Because I think the non-conforming use is kind of part of the problem that the data centers…”

“Okay, appreciate that. In terms of looking at what Loudoun is currently doing and kind of reexamining what they did and contemplating the removal of all grandfathering provisions by right, So if we were to recommend that provision to the board tonight to remove all grandfathering provisions of by-right site plans in progress, really that doesn't take away any property rights. They would just have to come through in the SUP process if they were to wish to continue on pursuing a data center on their parcels.”

“um what loudon's uh position is uh and so i can't impine on the legality of of what loudon is doing okay but assuming it is within the bounds you know where i think we're allowed to make recommendations if we make that recommendation and the board takes that up and it passes all check marks someone in that situation they would just then have to come in via an sup in order to have a data center on their parcel, which would require public notice, public hearing, public conversations.”

“And then we can move down a little bit. Oh, okay. I mean, the question wasn't answered. I mean...”

“Um, thank you. So, um, so just, you know, to not to go back to the nonconforming use, but just where I had gotten that from, that's on the County project page. Um, where they are talking about the ZTA and in doing so the county seeks to avoid the creation of widespread non-conforming uses. So that's where all those references were coming from. It's on the county project page for the DCOZOD. You're welcome. And just in terms, I don't wanna get too much into the public notice, but just to make sure I'm understanding who the notices went to. So the notices for the ZTA, they only went to parcel…”

“Okay. And then when we were here in July, um, you know, I asked, you know, recommended that we, we should be having a public community meeting to kind of inform the public. Um, and, you know, Commissioner Landrum just spoke about this, you know, when we were here in July, none of the public showed up. And I think as the public starts to hear about this and learn about this, I think there are a lot of valid questions that, you know, we're asking tonight that the public is trying to get clarification on. And at that time I asked, you know, when are we gonna have a county sponsored public…”

“Thank you. Just a quick response to that. So... Did the county attorney confirm everything you just said is fact? It's Virginia state law. No. Did the county attorney? The county attorney has not offered an opinion on that specifically, I don't believe. So when Loudoun did this a year and a half ago and they haven't been sued, thoughts on that?”
