Sprint PCS is challenging Rappahannock’s Zoning Ordinance and f Comprehensive Plan wtelation to their applications for telecommunication facilities, prior to any decision by Rappahannock’s elected officials. The Planning BjCpmmissioh had scheduled a public hearing at its October meeting on Sprinfs applications for seven telecommunication facilities throughout the County, but postponed it at the request of Sprint.
Sprint then filed an appeal with the Board of Zoning Appeals, which was scheduled a public hearing on the appeal at the Rappahannock County High School on Wednesday, November 29, 2000 at 7:30 p.m.
The major points of Sprint’s appeal are as follows:
• Sprint is objecting to the County’s requirement that all property owners within
I*,, one mile of any new installation must be notified. This is an application proce| dure in Rappahannock County. It is part of our zoning ordinance. Sprint claims that there are over 800 property owners to be notified and that these requirements
far exceed state law and are beyond the scope of the County’s jurisdiction to make these requirements. The County has provided Sprint with the
names & addresses of all involved.
• The County ordinance mandates that that any facility is required to have at
least one co-user per facility. Sprint claims that this co-user mandate is “unlawful,
capricious and unreasonable.”
