Cell-tower CUP hearing deferred to March after applicant requests more study

Powhatan County Board of Supervisors · February 24, 2026

Summary

A planned public hearing on a conditional-use permit for a telecommunications tower was deferred after staff said the applicant requested additional engineering study and negotiations with the county over colocated equipment; the board voted 5–0 to defer the hearing to the March meeting and will re-advertise.

Planning staff told the board that the applicant for a conditional-use permit for a telecommunications tower asked to defer the public hearing to allow additional engineering review and to negotiate with the county over equipment colocated at the site.

"The applicant, as of a week or so ago, has requested that this be deferred," planning staff said, noting engineering documents were provided after the planning commission hearing. The chair moved to accept the deferral, the board took a roll-call vote and the motion to defer to March carried 5–0. Staff said the applicant would pay re-advertising fees and that the hearing would be reset for the March meeting.
