Albemarle County:
“Albemarle officials consider changes to the approval
process for communications towers in the county, some residents are asking that
key protections be maintained.
‘Right now, you’re being asked to rule on a decision that
will make it easier to place cell towers in established neighborhoods and if
you agree to these changes it will have a significant impact on Key West in
particular,’ said Bob Toplin, who lives in the Key West neighborhood.
Toplin’s comments came during a recent public hearing before
the Planning Commission. Staff wanted input on six distinct changes to the
ordinance that governs how and where cell towers can be built. In recent years,
industry officials have been asking the county to streamline the approval
process so more towers can be erected to satisfy growing demand for mobile data
services.”
