[Opinion #] 05‑011 [Requestor] Mr. Scot S. Farthing Attorney for Wythe County [Summary] 
No authority for locality to pass site ordinance restricting or requiring undesirable industries or businesses before locating within locality. Adoption of zoning ordinance is only method for locality to generally control location of such industries or businesses. General police power of county does not solely authorize board of supervisors to pass site ordinance in conjunction with distance requirement from water source.
