Board approves narrow fix to clarify wireless‑facility permit language
Summary
The board recommended approval of LDC 26‑003, which inserts wording to make clear that the supplemental requirements in section 28.19 apply to both administrative approvals and conditional‑use permits for wireless facilities; the motion passed unanimously.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of LDC 26‑003 on May 19 to correct an apparent drafting oversight in the county's supplemental regulations for wireless facilities.
Planner Drew Pearson said the amendment adds the word "administrative" to make clear that the additional provisions in section 28.19 apply to both administrative permit approvals and conditional‑use permits for wireless facilities. "If you clearly read down through this the language that's associated with that, it will ... be relatively clear that it is talking about both administrative and conditional use permits," Pearson said, and staff recommended the correction.
Pearson called the omission a drafting oversight from an earlier consultant and said the change will reduce confusion about which towers may be approved administratively versus by conditional use. Member Morris moved to recommend approval; the board recorded six yes votes and no nays.
Next steps: staff will forward the board recommendation for final adoption and will apply the clarified standard in administrative review and conditional‑use evaluations.
