Memorandum
To: Personal Wireless Service Facilities Applicants
From: Bill Fritz
Date: February 15, 2012
Subject: Review Process
This memorandum is being provided to you in an effort to clarify the new review process for Personal Wireless
Service Facilities. Recently, the County has changed the review procedures for Tier III applications in an effort
to accelerate the review of these applications. As part of these changes we find it necessary to change the
submittal procedures. We believe that these changes will make the processing of applications more timely,
insure completeness of applications and will not place any additional burden on applicants.
All applications for Personal Wireless Service Facilities must fill out a copy of the attached application and
checklist. The information contained in the checklist is taken directly from the ordinance and does not represent
any change in the minimum submittal requirements.
Tier I applications will continue to be processed administratively with a building permit application.
Tier II applications will continue to accepted in accordance with the attached submittal and review schedule.
Due to a recent decision by the Virginia Supreme Court Tier II applications will no longer be heard by the
Planning Commission. Instead, the applications will be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The attached
submittal and review schedule provides a Planning Commission date. However, the Board of Supervisors does
not meet as often as the Planning Commission. Therefore, an adjustment in the hearing dates will be required.
Staff will attempt to place Tier 11 applications on the Board of Supervisors agenda at the earliest possible date.
However, due to the differences in the number of Planning Commission and Board of Supervisor meetings the
review time for Tier II applications may have to be increased to allow for scheduling with the Board of
Supervisors.
Tier III applications have the most significant change in review schedule. Tier III applications will continue to
accepted on the Third Monday of the Month. However, instead of being reviewed in accord with the Special
Use Permit review schedule they will be reviewed in accord with the Site Plan and Subdivision Review
Schedule. The review schedule to follow will be the timeline based on the submittal date that matches or
follows the Special Use Permit submittal date. (For example: The special use permit deadline for March 2012
is March 19. The next date for Site Plans and Subdivisions in March following the Special Use Permit submittal
date is March 26. The special use permit application would follow the review dates for a March 26 deadline.
The project would be scheduled for Site Review on April 19. Any revisions or additional information would be
due by April 30 and the item would be placed on the Planning Commission's agenda for May 22. The Board
date would be coordinated with the Clerk of Board based on the Board's agenda. ) This change in procedure
reduces the time to Planning Commission review by approximately 30 days and it is hoped that it will result in
an equal reduction in the time for Board of Supervisors review.
