for this facility should be obtained prior to the release of a building permit. (Condition

LAND USE
General Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Northern Area Land Use and Transportation Plan which
designates the property for light commercial use.
Area Development Trends:
The tower site is located in the V1Clillty of the Courthouse Road/Newbys Bridge
Road/Route 288 intersection which is currently characterized by a mix of agricultural,
public/semi-public, single family residential and commercial uses or vacant land. A 125
foot communications tower is currently located on the property. In addition, a 180 foot
tower is located approximately 250 feet from this proposed tower. This adjacent 180 foot
tower provides cellular telephone service through another communications company, and
was approved by lhe Board of Supervisors on January 26, 1994, subject to conditions
similar to those recommended herein. Access for the proposed and existing tower would
be shared via an existing driveway to Newbys Bridge Road.
Zoning- History:
On January 24, 1990, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation by the
Planning Commission, approved a Conditional Use to permit a communications tower and
associated equipment on the request site (Case 89SN0425), Subsequently, a 125 foot tower
was constructed. The current request is for a Conditional Use Planned Development to
permit a communications tower that would exceed the 150 foot height limitation by nine
(9) feet. The proposed tower would replace the existing tower.
Site Desig-n:
The proposed tower site consists of a fenced enclosure with freestanding tower and a small
equipment building, The tower will provide additional commercial cellular telephone
services to the area, Vehicular access to the tower site will be provided via an existing
graveled access driveway from Newbys Bridge Road. After construction of the tower and
associated facilities, this driveway will be used primarily for access for maintenance
vehicles. In addition, the 125 foot tower that is currently located on the property is to be
removed. A condition should be imposed to limit the number of towers on the property
