RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, County Code § 18-5.1.40, which is part of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance,
establishes regulations pertaining to personal wireless service facilities, including requiring that wireless facilities
be set back a distance from any lot line equal to the height of the wireless facility (the “fall zone” and the “fall zone
setback”); and
WHEREAS, the fall zone setback protects the public safety and general welfare by reducing the physical
and visual impacts of wireless facilities on abutting lots; and
WHEREAS, the County’s prior regulations allowed a wireless facility to be located within the fall zone
setback by waiver, and some waivers may have been granted without the abutting lot owner’s knowledge or
written consent to the physical and visual impacts of the wireless facility being so located, and the impacts on how
the owner of the abutting lot may use that lot within the fall zone that extends onto the abutting lot; and
WHEREAS, County Code § 18-5.1.40 currently enables the agent to authorize a wireless facility to be
located within the fall zone setback if the applicant obtains an easement or other recordable docum ent showing
an agreement between the owner of the lot on which the wireless facility is located and the owner of the abutting
lot that addresses development within the portion of the fall zone on the abutting lot (the “fall zone easement”);
and
WHEREAS, the replacement of a wood monopole with a metal monopole located in the fall zone setback,
currently allowed without discretionary County review, is a significant act that may have adverse impacts on the
abutting lot if a fall zone easement does not exist; and
WHEREAS, in order to ensure that any adverse impacts on an abutting lot may be adequately
addressed, it may be desirable to amend County Code § 18-5.1.40 to require a special exception to replace a
wood monopole with a metal monopole within the fall zone setback where a fall zone easement does not exist.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience, general
welfare and good zoning practices, the Albemarle County Planning Commission hereby adopts a resolution of
intent to consider amending County Code § 18-5.1.40 to achieve the purposes described herein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the zoning
text amendment proposed pursuant to this resolution of intent, and make its recommendations to the Board of
Supervisors at the earliest possible date.
