John Walker 5509 River Road Fredericksburg, VA January 22, 2025 For Distribution: Comments to City of Fredericksburg Timothy J. Baroody, City Manager; Josh Summits, Director of Economic Development and Tourism; Mike Craig, Director of Community Planning & Building; and members of the Fredericksburg City Council for the January 22, 2025, Public Input Session On The Proposed Technology Overlay District with the City Council to the draft ordinance, Subject: Establishing the Technology Overlay District to encourage data center campuses and related uses in large assemblages of properties; amending generally applicable data center provisions in the Unified Development Ordinance; and zoning map amendment to designate part of Area 1 to Technology Overlay District As previously stated in my submitted written comments of January 17, 2025, I am a homeowner in this area of the city surrounded by an area that is, or was, designated T-1 Preserved Open Space and T-2 Rural. My home is part of a small cluster of homes that include 5509, 5511, 5513, 5515, and 5517 River Road, I do not think the Zoning maps shown provide an adequate view of the amount of old growth forest that exists on these properties and or property perimeters which add to the rural nature of this area. My own property contains approximately 4 to 4 ½ acres of old growth forest in addition to the trees planted on the rest of the property. I am again repeating some of my previously submitted written comments of January 17, 2025 for consideration by the City Council and the City Planning Commission. I do believe the City Council is trying to find new commercial sources of revenue to lessen the tax burden on its citizens and find better uses for the undeveloped areas originally planned for Celebrate Virginia South. Although I am not against data centers per se, I suggest City leadership slow down and carefully consider all of the impacts this will have. Perhaps the sudden speed at which the City Council and Planning Commission members are proceeding is driven by recently introduced 2025 Virginia state legislation, House Bill No. 1984, to restrict data centers from being developed within a quarter mile of parks, schools, and residential areas. During the January 14, 2025, City Council meeting it was mentioned several times the need for additional revenue to fix the City of Fredericksburg schools and the connection between data center development and city schools. I think issues with City of Fredericksburg schools are larger than a new source of revenue and would separate those issues from those of data center development. I understand the members of the City Council and Planning Commission have traveled to Prince William County to see their data centers, I highly recommend the same travel to Loudoun County to visit the data centers along and in the vicinity of Waxpool Road and Route 28. In particular, visiting areas where these data centers meet existing residential areas to include Ashby Ponds, a retirement community and others. The average data center height in Loudoun County, a major data center area in the state, is 35 feet. In addition to the current area under consideration for data centers, I believe other areas should be considered including: the Belman Road area and the small area west of I95 and south of Route 3. What is the end of life of a data center and happens at the end of life? How will the city be impacted? Have these and other questions been considered? Paragraph 1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment – “may justify the future vacation of portions of Gordon W. Shelton Boulevard to consolidate and maximize land use development potential.” This seems to be counter to FAMPO desire for a new river crossing. Therefore, I suggest the City stop any further waste of Page 1 of 3  John Walker 5509 River Road Fredericksburg, VA January 22, 2025 taxpayer dollars on the expenses and efforts on a new river crossing until the City can figure out exactly what they will have left for roads in this area. 1. Draft Ordinance Paragraph 1 C Permitted Uses. Sub paragraph (8) (c) “Sewage treatment plant, publicly or privately owned;” Please carefully consider the possible impacts and define how the City can manage outflows and spills from this in the future. 2. Draft Ordinance Paragraph 1 D Development standards. Sub paragraph (11) Building height. “The maximum height shall be no more than ninety (90) feet. The height limitation shall not apply to parapets, screening, spires, belfries, cupolas, roof-mounted antennas or communications towers, air cooling ventilation equipment, ventilators, or other appurtenances usually required to be placed on the roof level and not intended for human occupancy, which shall be subject to the exception stated in §72-82.6(B)(1).” A height of 90 feet, plus the additional allowed for air- conditioning equipment equates to a minimum of a 10 story building. This is grossly excessive, especially against existing residential housing near the stadium and other areas. This excessive building height seems to negate other requirements. I suggest a reduced building height the closer buildings are constructed to existing residential building. As stated previously, the average data center height in Loudoun County is 35 feet. Some of these Loudoun data centers are close to / abutting existing residential properties. I believe this to be a more reasonable height against the existing residential properties. 3. Draft Ordinance Paragraph 1 D Development standards. Sub paragraph (1) “Rappahannock River viewshed. Principal buildings within the TOD shall not be visible to the naked eye from the Rappahannock River frontage regardless of season.” Buildings discussed may not be visible from the building’s property river frontage, due to the existing topography of that area, but I think it will be hard to not see a 10-story building from anywhere along the river frontage. 4. Draft Ordinance Paragraph 1 D Development standards. Sub paragraph (2) Minimum setback requirements. (a) “Adjacent to residential zoning districts: minimum setbacks shall be 200 feet.” I consider this insufficient given a planned allowed building height of 10 stories and suggest 300 feet minimum. Again, I believe the maximum height against residential properties should be 35 feet. 5. Draft Ordinance Paragraph 1 D Development standards. Sub paragraph (2) Minimum setback requirements. (e) “Adjacent to residential uses: no building, parking, outdoor storage areas for collection of refuse, or loading area shall be within 150 feet of any adjacent property with existing or planned residential development or residential units within mixed use development at the time of site plan submittal.” I disagree with allowing, trash sheds etc. to be closer to residential areas and seems in conflict with the setback requirements. 6. Draft Ordinance Paragraph 1 D Development standards. Sub paragraph (4) “Buffers associated with each phase or incremental expansion of a campus must be shown on a landscaping plan submitted with each individual site plan. Vegetation that will remain on and is within a landscaping buffer provided on an easement on adjacent property may be used to satisfy the requirements of this subpart.” Adjacent Property is not defined and requires / allows for adjacent property owners, including residential, to provide their own landscaping buffer. This should not be allowed. The only way adjacent property buffer should be considered is if the adjacent property owner agrees in writing and it is recorded. As worded, the city is responsible for providing the buffer for river walk. Page 2 of 3  John Walker 5509 River Road Fredericksburg, VA January 22, 2025 7. Draft Ordinance Paragraph 1 D Development standards. Sub paragraph (6) Noise “Any noise which emanates from operation or other activity associated with any data center or research, development, or light manufacturing facility, or their accessory uses will be limited to a maximum volume in A-weighted decibels of 60 dBA during the day (7:00 a.m. until 12:00 midnight) and 55 dBA night (12:00 midnight through 7:00 a.m.). Such levels may be measured at the campus boundary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following activities and operations are exempt from the restrictions stated in this subpart:” as I discussed previously 60 dBA is sometimes described as a conversation. Left out of this description is that this is at a distance of 3 feet. As described in the above this noise is louder and at the perimeter of the Data Center properties. 8. Draft Ordinance Paragraph 1 D Development standards. Sub paragraph (6) Noise (c) “Generator testing conducted between 7:00 a.m. until 12:00 midnight unless testing at a time outside of this range is required by the Department of Environmental Quality.” Having run an emergency diesel generator in my long ago past, I see no reason to operate this type of machinery at midnight or outside of normal working times for testing. The times should be modified to 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Sometimes, operators may be required to burn off old diesel fuel oil, in which case it can be planned, agreed to by the City, and residents notified ahead of time. 9. As I previously stated, there should be consideration to provide current residents of the area connecting trail or trails to the River Walk. This needs to be defined first. 10. “Prohibition of the use of potable water for permanent industrial cooling.” This does not prohibit use of well water. Please add well water as a prohibition. For those of us who depend on well water, industrial use of well water so close to our properties would likely force us off our properties.

Lacey, Clerk of Council - For Distribution to Council tlacey@fredericksburgva.gov Planning Commission PlanningCommissionMembers@fredericksburgva.gov Dear Madam Mayor, Members of City Council and Members of the Planning Commission: As the owner of a third of the proposed Technology Overlay District (TOD), we are an important stakeholder in the ongoing discussions about the proposed TOD ordinance. We previously provided comments to you in our January 7, 2025 letter, which was included in the Staff Report for City Council’s January 14, 2025 Regular Session meeting (20467). We want to offer some additional input this evening. First, we agree with Staff’s recommendation that 75 acres should be the minimum acreage for a data center campus in the TOD. We understand that Council’s vision for the TOD is to have an interconnected data center campus. We are on board with the City’s vision, and the 75-acre minimum will achieve that. Seventy-five acres will accommodate a multi-building data center campus with a substation. As you know, the City approved EDA funding for the Dominion power study for the TOD, and the EDA’s written authorization to Dominion includes our property. Thus, the City has already deemed our site to be an important part of the City’s vision for the TOD. Any minimum acreage greater than 75 takes our parcel out of the mix, which would be directly at odds with that vision. Once Dominion provides more details about the routing of power to the TOD, that will help inform all parties how the TOD could be built-out in a campus-like atmosphere. Second, we note that our engineering firm, which has substantial data center experience in Northern Virginia, has prepared conceptual layouts showing that on our property, we can build approximately 1.3 million square feet of data center and a substation. Based on the fiscal impact analysis presented by the City, our property would generate approximately $25 million in annual tax revenue to the City. We urge you to accept Staff’s reasonable recommendation of a 75-acre minimum. If you enact a minimum greater than that, one-third of the land within the TOD would not meet the minimum requirement. Good zoning practice requires a generally applicable, evenly applied, and fair ordinance that serves the stated purpose of promoting data center development in the TOD. 1 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 301, Wilmington, DE 19803 ~ Phone: 302.479.8314 ~ Fax: 302.488.0882 Thank you for the opportunity to continue to provide input.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern, I feel like the process of this name change has been in violation of the city addressing policy, and should therefore not move forward. As per your December 9th notification, this change was “formally requested” by the Memorial Advisory Commission. As per city code 10-292 this request is not within the roles and responsibilities of this commission and therefore the request should be considered a private request under the cities addressing policy. The city is however treating it as a city initiated readdressing which I feel is in violation of the addressing policy and city code. Since the Memorials Advisory Commission has not met the required burden of the private address request change, this should not proceed. If the intention of the city is to proceed with this change despite the violation, I would like to propose multiple name change options outside of the Forest Avenue name. R. Kirkland Avenue- Named for the “Angel of Marye’s Heights” Sgt. Kirkland is already memorialized on the battlefield park and deserves recognition from the city for his heroic act of service during the battle of Fredericksburg. Chickadee Avenue- in recognition of one of the great natural creatures that we have here in our city, these birds are constantly present in our neighborhood and invoke not sentiment of racism. John Paul Jones Avenue- Named for the Revolutionary “Father of the Navy” that once called Fredericksburg home. Thank you very much for consideration of my concerns and the name change options that are more in line with what the Memorial Advisory Commission should have offered in the first place.

By their nature, these uses may require sizeable acreage, often operating, designed, and built-out in a campus-like atmosphere, typically with adequate buffering or mitigation consistent with City standards. • Intent and Siting: the TOD furthers the City’s efforts to diversify its economic tax-base, attract high-paying jobs, and advance high-tech industrial development while limiting the impacts on the immediate community. The TOD may be designated by the City Council as an overlay in whole or in part of existing zoning districts, regardless of classification. Technology Overlay Zoning District Technology Overlay District (TOD) Review of January 14, 2025 Joint Work Session Discussion Items Minimum Campus Size • What is the appropriate minimum size for a technology campus? In its initiating resolution, the City Council set a 150-foot minimum campus size as a starting point for discussion. Technology Overlay District (TOD) Review of January 14, 2025 Joint Work Session Discussion Items Noise • Data centers site planning includes the siting of emergency generators. Should generators be located on the sides of buildings opposite existing residential and/or potential residential development? Are there other ways to provide noise mitigation from emergency generators? • Emergency generator operations were listed in the draft ordinance as an exemption to maximum noise limits. Testing of emergency generators was also limited to between the hours of 7 AM and midnight. The evening hours were included in response to potential requirements from DEQ related to the daily air quality cycle. Should the proposed provisions related to emergency generators be refined? • The noise limitations focus on A-weighted decibels and some discussion occurred about other low frequency noise. Technology Overlay District (TOD) Staff Recommendations further addressing noise: • Set noise standards as 60 dBA during the day (7:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.) and 55 dBA night (9:00 p.m. through 7:00 a.m.). • Refine place of measurement: Such levels will may be measured at the campus boundary on which such noise is generated, or at any point within the receiving property affected by the noise. • Remove exemption for noise standard for generator testing (exemption for emergency generator operations will remain) • Enhance screening and siting mitigation: Generators shall be screened separated from residential uses by either a/the principal building or an engineered sound wall of like materials as detailed within 72-41.2. Any generator shall additionally be enclosed and muffled for mitigating sound. Technology Overlay District (TOD) Review of January 14, 2025 Joint Work Session Discussion Items Water • The use of potable water for industrial cooling is prohibited by the draft ordinance other than for temporary bridging as a site is built out. Should the ordinance instead specify that reuse water is the only permitted means for industrial cooling? Would additional prohibitions on using well water and / or direct withdrawal from the Rappahannock River be appropriate? Technology Overlay District (TOD) Staff Recommendations refining water and discharge provisions: • Water-based cooling systems used by permitted or accessory uses described under this TOD shall utilize industrial reuse water for permanent industrial cooling through a Water Service Agreement as approved by the City Council. • Cooling shall not depend on groundwater wells or surface water intake from the Rappahannock River. • City Code Sections 72-41.2(4) and 74-73 (which address potable water for industrial cooling) shall not apply. • Effluent water from cooling must be discharged to the City’s water treatment plant, with discharge and any pretreatment requirements as required by state and federal laws and regulations. Technology Overlay District (TOD) Review of January 14, 2025 Joint Work Session Discussion Items Water • Are Water and Sewage Treatment Plants an appropriate accessory use? What would their role be on-site – are they part of a treatment and distribution network associated with reuse water from the existing public utility network or would they be used in conjunction with independent water attainment / discharge sources? Technology Overlay District (TOD) Staff Recommendation as to accessory uses: • Water treatment plant, publicly or privately owned if requested by the Department of Public Works and incorporated into a/the Water Services Agreement • Sewage treatment plant, publicly or privately owned if requested by the Department of Public Works and incorporated into a/the Water Services Agreement Technology Overlay District (TOD) Review of January 14, 2025 Joint Work Session Discussion Items Buildings • Setbacks to residential districts are 200 feet but there are existing residential uses within the adjacent Planned Development district where the setback would be 150 feet. Should the setback to residential uses be uniform across any zoning district? • Maximum building height was proposed to be 90 feet to match the existing Planned Development – Commercial maximum height limit. Should a step in maximum height from 90 to 60 feet be considered around residential uses? • Are setbacks between buildings necessary? Technology Overlay District (TOD) Review of January 14, 2025 Joint Work Session Discussion Items Other • Data centers in the UDO are considered institutional uses and other localities consider them industrial. What types of uses are data centers comparable to? • How would the development of a Technology Campus impact other agreements such as the Celebrate Virginia South Agreement from 2005? Implementation Steps • Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Small Area 1 “North End”; • Property owner initiated rezoning / proffer amendment for “Neon” project parcels; • Development of Technology Overlay Zoning District UDOTA; and • Review and approval of UDOTA and Zoning Map Amendment to apply the Technology Overlay Zoning District. • These steps may occur concurrently. Potential Overlay Implementation Schedule January 22 – Joint Work Session with the Planning Commission February 12 – Planning Commission Public Hearing February 25 – City Council Public Hearing (requires pre-advertisement prior to Planning Commission Public Hearing) Area 5 Small Area Plan Planning Commission January 22, 2025 Bailey Thompson – Community Development Planner II  Summary • Identify Area 5 • Review Process • Discuss Proposed Changes • Next Steps Where in the City are we?  Plan Timeline Community Meeting Community Meeting Project Kickoff P.C.
