7. New Business
• At-Large Planning Commissioner Jim Hart reported that:
  • Wireless Facility Zoning Ordinance Amendment:
    • There have been changes in state law and a recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruling regarding wireless facilities Fairfax County must decide how to amend sections of the Zoning Ordinance related to small cell facilities and their support structures. Given that the 2019 Virginia General Assembly has not pursued any additional legislation in this year's legislative session and the FCC's April 15, 2019, deadline, Fairfax County is diligently working toward having the Board being able to consider a Zoning Ordinance Amendment and an associated Policy Plan Amendment prior to April 15th. The timeline they are on is as follows:
      • Board authorization to advertise public hearings – 2/19/19
      • Public Meeting - 2/26/19 see flyer
      • PC Telecommunication Committee meeting – 2/27/19 at 6:30 p.m.
      • Planning Commission Public Hearing – 3/20/19 at 7:30 p.m.
      • Board of Supervisors' Public Hearing – 4/9/19 at 2:30 p.m.
    • The draft Zoning Ordinance Amendment has been written very broadly and with many options. They have taken into consideration all of the previously received comments, and most of the suggestions have been incorporated into at least one of the options. To help in understanding the draft Zoning Ordinance Amendment and options, see the above draft staff report summary. There is a "white" paper on the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment, see below. An amendment website has been created at https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/planning-zoning/zoning-ordinance/wireless-telecommunications-infrastructure and future updates will be added, including the white paper. The website includes a link to the draft Zoning Ordinance Amendment.
    • In terms of outreach thus far, staff has created the website; scheduled the meetings listed above; sent out listserv messages to the Zoning Ordinance Amendment and zMOD listservs; met with the zMOD Land Use Attorneys and Citizens groups; will be meeting with the Board of Supervisor's land use aides on 2/15; coordinated with the Architectural Review Board; and sent out a notice and a request for input to those individuals who have previously expressed an interest in the amendment (this includes most of the major telecommunications carriers).
    • For information on the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment, you may contact Lorrie Kirst, Senior Deputy Zoning Administrator, at Lorrie.Kirst @ fairfaxcounty.gov or at 703-324-1309. For information on the proposed Policy Plan Amendment, you may contact Bryan Botello at Bryan.Botello @ fairfaxcounty.gov or at 703-324-1375.
    • The white paper Handout Regarding the Proposed Wireless Telecommunications Zoning Ordinance Amendment is available. The handout summarizes the 2018 State Code changes and the 2018 FCC Ruling that are prompting the need for the Zoning Ordinance amendment, and provides a summary of the 3 proposed options with benefits and challenges of each option.
