Nelson County
“A proposed amendment to the Nelson County Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to wireless communication towers was determined to be severely
lacking at a recent Nelson County Board of Supervisors meeting. Last Thursday,
the board held a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the Nelson County
Zoning Ordinance that deals with the repeal and replacement of sections of
Article 20, regarding communication towers.
Tim Padalino, the Nelson County Planning & Zoning
Director, highlighted some of the important changes for the supervisors,
including adjustments to tower classifications; application procedures;
required minimum setbacks from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive and other
Virginia Scenic Byways; removal and reporting of facilities; and the
application fee schedule. Under the proposed replacement section, the new category
for personal wireless service, or Class C facilities, would be similar to what
currently is the Class IV category for personal wireless service facilities,
with a few significant changes. Several speakers at the public hearing said there were problems
with the proposed replacement sections.”
