§ 7.6. Substantial accord review of public facilities.

Any public area, facility or use, as defined by § 15.2-2232 of the Code of Virginia, which has been approved by the board of supervisors following a public hearing held pursuant to the county's zoning ordinance shall be exempt from the requirement for submittal to and approval by the county's planning commission or governing body under § 15.2-2232 of the Code of Virginia, so long as such public area, facility or use remains subject to the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Once a public facility has been determined to be in substantial accord with the county's comprehensive plan or is shown on the public facilities plan, then additional property for such facility may be added without submittal and approval under § 15.2-2232 of the Code of Virginia. In addition, all telecommunications facilities of the nature defined in the county's zoning ordinance as "communication small cell" shall be exempt from the requirements for submittal and approval under § 15.2-2232 if the facilities are located within a zoning district where such use is either permitted by right, or permitted with restrictions provided that all such restrictions are satisfied.
