The Project will be capable of generating up to 150 megawatts (MW) of electricity, enough to power approximately 16,500 Rosalind Solar respectfully requests that the County review and approve the Project as in substantial accord with the Greensville 2040 County Comprehensive Plan (the "2040 Comprehensive Plan") pursuant to Virginia The Project will be located in District 2 south of Skippers, VA. The solar equipment for this Project will not occupy a large footprint or cover a large percentage of the Project's landholdings. Solar panel coverage will ocupyapproximately, 30 percent oft the Project site, please see Table! 51 below for details. The Project willl have approximately 184 acres of existing and planted vegetative buffer, further shielding the Project from view. Additionally, approximately 1,100 acres will be conserved as open space and for wildlife corridors. In this manner, the Project design is consistent with the County's valued qualities of maintaining rural character and preserving open space. Please see the Location and Description: section herein for additional details. The Project will generate at least $14.81 millioni in directrevenue to Greensville County which includes revenue share and property taxes on land that has been reassessed at a higher value. Since this Project is being proposed after January 1, 2021 (unlike a majority of the previously approved solar projects located in the County), the County will receive an annual revenue share of up to $1,400 per MW which increases by 10 percent every five years. Additional direct revenue mayf form part ofas siting agreement in additiontor revenue share payments and property tax. Furthermore, the Project represents a capital investment of approximately $200 million into the local economy, which will create significant revenue for local service and supply As required by Virginia State Code Section 15.2-2316.7, a siting agreement will be discussed in the proper course of business, as deemed appropriate by the County. Please see the Conformance with Chapter 7- Ina addition to the $14.81 million discussed above and additional revenue from a siting agreement, the Project will provide direct contributions to the local economy by providing jobs to the local community. Through the development, construction, and operations of this Project, over 300 direct and indirect construction jobs totaling $12 million in labor income and approximately four full-time jobs totaling $248,900 in labor income Inflows to the local community will also be created through utilization of local services, trades, supplies and commodities. Please: see the Conformance with Chapter 7- Economy section herein for additional details. This Project will generate substantial income through purchase and lease payments for the Project's property owners. Please see the Conformance with Chapter 5 - Quality of Life and Conformance with Chapter 6 - The Project is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as utility-scale solar is listed as a permissible use within the Rural Area future land use designation.

Inc accordance with the procedures of the County, Rosalind will submit a decommissioning, plan as part of the application for a Special Use Permit ("SUP") for the Project as the next step following this application. The process. followed by Rosalind in submitting the decommissioning plan with the SUP is consistent with both the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. It will provide procedures for deconstruction of active components (ie., solar panels, inverters, cables) and developed features (ie., fences, gates, malntenonee/perations buildings, and racking system) as well as site restoration (e.g., soil remediation and reestablishment of vegetation) upon the end of the Project's useful life.

Please note, Chapters 1,2, 4, and 10 are not considered applicable to utility-scale solar projects and therefore a detailed discussion has not been  included.  Conformance with Chapter 3 - Natural Environment  The 2040 Comprehensive Plan outlines nine natural resources that were considered. The discussion below sets forth each criterion and howi the Project isi in substantial accordance with the applicable resources. Rosalind has procured wetland delineations to identify jurisdictional waters (i.e., streams and wetlands) sO that the Project can be designed to avoid and protect surface water resources. In addition to avoiding wetlands and streams, Strata's best management practice is to avoid land clearing or ground disturbance within 50 feet of wetlands or streams. The Project will not install PV equipment in areas containing jurisdictional waters or wetlands. However, Rosalind plans to install four stream crossings for access roads and underground medium-voltage collection lines. Prior to construction of stream or wetland crossings, Rosalind will procure the necessary permit approvals from the US Army Corps of Engineers and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to ensure the crossings will have minimal individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects and comply with applicable laws and regulations (2040 Comprehensive Plan pg. 33). Rosalind expects to qualify for Nationwide Permit coverage for the proposed road crossings because the impacts are minimal and below the permit threshold for wetland and; stream impacts. There willl be no land disturbance within FEMA designated flood zones (2040 Comprehensive Plan pg. 33) for the construction of PV components (solar panels, racking system, above ground wiring and cables, power Prior to conducting land disturbance activities at the site, all applicable federal, state, and local permits and approvals will be procured. Stormwater management and erosion and sediment control measures will be installed to protect against stormwater runoff and soil movement resulting from land disturbing activities 2040Comprehensive Plan pg. 32). To ensure there will not be anyi impacts to more land thani intended, Strata  Water Resources  inverters, and transformers).  Rosalind.

Strata follows a strict quality control process utilizing regular site inspections looking for deficiencies and vulnerabilities to identify and correct potential deficiencies early. This ultimately results in a site with permanent control measures in place and functioning effectively sO that construction can proceed quickly, land disturbing activities can be completed on schedule, and the site can be fully stabilized with durable  vegetation.  Conservation and Natural Heritage Resources  The Project will conserve between1 1,086 and 1,140acres for open space, depending on whichi interconnection option is chosen. This is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as it maintains al balance between the Project's development and the preservation of rural character, natural landscapes, and habitats (2040 Comprehensive Plan pg. 30). This unique Project design provides fora a large acreage of open space to remain conserved to serve as al long-term preservation strategy, consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Project willa also maintain important wildlife habitat. The Project willl have several wildlife access corridors located throughout the Project site, as shown on the Concept Plan in Appendix B. These corridors allow for wildlife movement across the Project site, across property lines, and into other open space within thel Project. The wildlife corridors connect to the existing stream and wetland corridors throughout the Project area, as well as planted and retained vegetative buffers, and undeveloped areas or conserved open spaces across the site. A substantial percentage oft the total property under option to lease or purchase, approximately 589, is expected to remain completely undisturbed or unoccupied by equipment. This land will be available to be The Project avoids Ecological Cores asi identifiedi in Map 3.4, Wildlife Habitats Map, oft the 2040 Comprehensive Plan (2040 Comprehensive Plan pg. 37). There are no outstanding (C1) or very high (C2) Ecological Cores in or within the vicinity of the Rosalind Project. The closest veryl high (C2) Ecological Cores are east of Interstate 95, ont the other side oft thel highway. Correspondence from thel Department of Conservation: and Recreation (DCR) dated September 24, 2021, indicated the project has potential to fragment Ecological Cores (C3 high, C4- moderate, and C5 - general) as identified in the Virginia Natural Landscape Assessment. However, this preliminary assessment by the DCR doesn't take the Concept Plan into account and assumes the entire area within the project boundary' will be disturbed. Furthermore, the majority of the Ecological Cores identified by the DCR withint the Project boundaryhaver recently been clearcut byt the current landowners, therebyreducing the ecological functions provided by the forest habitat. Based on the Concept Plan provided herein, the Rosalind Project will have minimal effect on the areas previously identified byt the DCR as Ecological Cores by targeting project development activities in previously logged upland areas, avoiding and preserving forested wetlands identified as Ecological Cores, and by providing wildlife corridors that connect to existing stream and wetland corridors throughout the Project area, planted and retained vegetated buffers, and undeveloped areas or conserved open spaces across the site.

Wildlife and natural resources were reviewed for species listed as threatened and endangered at the state and federal levels, within the Project boundary and at the appropriate search distances for each database. Nine state and federal natural resource databases were searched to determine the potential for the Project to affect listed species. Two species listed as threatened or endangered were identified in state and federal databases as likely to occur or having documented occurrences within or near the Project area: northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentriondlis, federally threatened, state threatened) and loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus, state A: summer acoustic presence/absence survey was completed for the northern long-eared bat within the Project area by a USWFS-approved bat biologists at AlIStar Ecology LLC. Based on the summer acoustic presence/absence. survey, the northern long-eared bats were deemed absent at the Project. The Project did not contain early successional tree species that northern long-eared prefer to roost within during the summer such as black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and black cherry (Prunus serotina) and this may be ar reason why the species was not found. Rosalind will continue to coordinate with the USFWS regarding bat species, as The VaFWIS report indicated loggerhead shrike has documented observations within 2-miles of the Project. The species was observed on June 15, 2009, west of the Project near Garners Mill. The loggerhead shrike prefers areas of grassland that are grazed or mowed occasionally to keep the grass short.

As identified on Map 9.1, Future Land Use Map, the Project is located within an area categorized as a Rural Area (2040 Comprehensive Plan pg. 156). Within the Rural Area future land use category, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies solar as a primary land use type based on compliance with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan policies and Zoning Ordinance requirements (2040 Comprehensive Plan pg. 146). As identified above, the Project meets the 2040 Comprehensive Plan siting guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance The Project will preserve the rural character of the County in accordance with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan  requirements and would be considered an appropriate use within this category.  as outlined below (2040 Comprehensive Plan pg. 143):  Limited Visibility = Visibility of the Project will be extremely limited from neighboring views and passing traffic where the site is adjacent to road frontage, thus preserving the rural nature of the County. In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, the Project will have at least 150-foot setbacks from adjacent road rights-of-way and adjacent property lines. The design team had provided a significantly larger setback at several locations across the Project. A vegetative buffer of at least 100 feet will be preserved or planted (as appliable) to screen the Project from adjacent properties and road frontage. There is mature timber surrounding a large portion of the site that will be preserved as vegetative buffer. In areas where the existing vegetation isn't adequate to provide the desired screening buffers, a mix of deciduous and evergreen vegetation (as approved by County staff) willl be planted to ensure there is at least a 100-foot vegetative buffer surrounding the Project. Please refer tot the Concept Plan in Appendix B and the Viewshed. Analysis in Appendix Et to see details on project Wildlife corridors- - Several wildlife corridors willl be preserved for wildlife to navigate throughout the Project site. Wildlife corridors allowi for wildlife tor move across thes site, across property lines, andi into other open space within the Project. The wildlife corridors connect with the existing stream and wetland corridors as well as planted and retained vegetated buffers, and undeveloped areas (conserved open space) across the site.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CITATIONS  Below are the relevant sections of Greensville County's Comprehensive Plan.  Chapter 6-1 Infrastructure: Solar  With the electricity infrastructure installed in the county to support the new Dominion natural gas- fueled power plant, along with relatively flat terrain and an abundance of open land, Greensville Countyis generating significant interest from thes solar industry asaprime location fortheconstruction of utility-scale solar projects. With transmission lines traversing the county, solar developers are offered relatively low capital investment costs to connect to the electrical infrastructure necessary to carry solar energy tot the power grid. Permits have been issued for 5 solar facility sites (see Map 6.3),  which are in various stages ofo completion in Greensville County, as follows:  Pumpkinseed Solar (formerly Meherrin Solar) - 60-megawatt photovoltaic solar energy  facility  Greensville Solar 80-megawatt photovoltaic solar energy facility Sadler Solar 100-megawatt photovoltaic solar energy facility Jarratt Solar-4 49-megawatts photovoltaic solar energy facility Fountain Creek Solar - 80-megawatt photovoltaic solar energy facility  Utility-scale solar projects create a large footprint on the landscape and doi not directly contribute to the local economy or provide jobs for the community over the long-term. But, it can be argued that these projects docontribute to the power grid and may reduce overall rates, and can be designed for minimal visual and environmental impact. While it is possible fora local electrical cooperative such as Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative toj provides solar-generated electricity directly to local customers in the county, perhaps the greatest local impacts are property purchase and/or lease payments to property owners and the significant tax revenues generated from these projects. Certainly, property purchase and lease payments to property owners have been seen to meet and supplement, if not surpass, dwindling revenues fromagricultural. and forestry activities, and increased tax revenues from projects can be used to address public funding gaps and cost increases, deferred maintenance of infrastructure or facilities, or fund otherprojects or expansion of services in the community that may contribute to the overall quality of life. Guidance for facility siting is discussed further in the Land  Use chapter (9).  Chapter 9 - Land Use: Utility-Scale Solar Facilities  Page 3 of12    Utility-scale solar facilities are a relatively new and emerging land use to Greensville County. As referred to in this Comprehensive Plan, a utility-scale solar facility is a facility that generates electricity from sunlight that will be used to provide electricity to a utility provider or a large private user with a generating capacity more than one megawatt (1 MW). The county's abundant and affordable agricultural and forest land, combined with its electrical infrastructure and transportation system, appear tol be attractive to the utilities industry. Half(50.4%) ofsurvey respondents encourage solar facilities as land use within the County. While thei intensity ofoperation ofthese uses is relatively benign, the scale ofthese uses is significant, and the development phases are. intensive. Many utility- scale solar facilities are located on agricultural or forested land that may have had other future land The county will consider solar facilities in districts zoned agricultural, industrial, or commercial (based on project size), with preference for brownfields. In addition to the requirements for utility- scale solar facilities within the zoning ordinance (See Map 9.2), Special Use Permit (SUP) applications for these facilities must be evaluated based upon the following criteria, with conditions imposed to mitigate potential and anticipated negative impacts, or applications denied where criteria cannot possibly be met, outright or through the requirement of reasonable conditions: 1. Utility-scale solar facilities shall be located outside designated growth areas. 2. Active components(ie, solar panels, substations, inverters, and thel like) or developed features (i.e., fences, gates, maintenance/operations buildings, etc)ofutility-scaled solar facilities shall not be in such close proximity to, in their location or design, residences, historic, cultural, recreational, or environmentally sensitive areas, and scenic view-sheds sO as to negatively 3. Utility-scale solar projects 20 MW and greater in rated capacity shall only be considered 4. Utility-scale solar projects 51 MW or greater in rated capacity, but less than 201 MW shall only 5. A decommissioning plan shall be provided by the owner of utility-scale projects to ensure  use potential or land use classifications.  impact their use or value to the community.  acceptable in the A-1 Agricultural District zoning district. be considered acceptable in industrial and commercial zoned districts.  proper dismantling of the project.  Future Land Use Map  The Comprehensive Plan describes thel Rural Areas land use classification as follows:  This classification includes land areas in the rural portions of the county where agricultural and forestal uses are thedominant land use. These. areas provide ecological benefits such as open space and watershed protection while also playing a role as an economic and environmental resource of major importance. Large lot single family development may exist within some of these areas. Future development of these properties at densities higher than allowed by the current agricultural zoning is not encouraged. These rural regions are generally stable and require a high degree of protection to preserve agricultural, forestal, recreational, and open space areas. Water and sewer are generally provided by on-site wells and septic systems. The rural areas  are not intended to be developed to full subdivision potential.  With respect to solar as a Primary Land Use Type in the Rural Areas land use classification, the  Comprehensive Plan indicates the following:  Page 4 of12    Solar - Utility-scale solar facilities may be appropriate based on discretionary permits and compliance with this Comprehensive Plan's solar policies and all Zoning Ordinance solar  regulations.  o  ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS  The following sections and provisions of the County's Zoning Ordinance are. relevant to the review  oft the subject application:  Article 4, Permitted Uses in Primary Zoning Districts, Section 4-4, General Conditions Applicable to Special Use Permits, list the following conditions that apply to all "special The use shall be designed or arranged on the land in such a way as to cause: no more adverse impact on the adjacent property, and/or the neighborhood than might be caused by the least restrictive use otherwise permitted by right in the district.

STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENTS  Asnoted in the report previously provided in conjunction with the Planning Commission's 2232 review of the project, Staff suggests that the following are the principal considerations for review: 1. Int total, the County has issued five (5)previous approvals forotherutiliy-scale solar energy generation facilities, and the subject application is the only pending application at this time (there is another application on-hold perapplicant request). These six sites would total 5,300 acres relative to the County's Zoning Ordinance limitation that the maximum total acreage of land in the County to be used for utility-scale solar facilities be limited to 7,600 acres. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed project is sufficiently sited to not detract from goals to preserve the rural character and agricultural characteristics oft the County.  Page 8 of12    2.
