facilities; and
22
WHEREAS, certain other changes to approved facilities may be appropriately approved

the community; and
WHEREAS, adoption of the attached amendment supports good zoning practice,
convenience and the general welfare; and
WHEREAS on December 4, 2013, the Fauquier County Planning Commission held a
public hearing on the proposed text amendment and unanimously recommended approval of a
revised version of the Ordinance; now, therefore, be it
ORDAINED by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors this 9th
day of January 2014,
That the following amendments to Article 11 related to administrative approval of certain
changes to existing telecommunication facilities be, and are hereby, amended as follows,
effective January 10, 2014:
Section 11-102.4 Administrative Approval of Certain Changes to Existing and Approved Facilities
Notwithstanding any provision of this Ordinance related to Special Exception requirements and
procedures on any specific Special Exception limitation or condition placed on an approved tower, the
Zoning Administrator may administratively approve through an Administrative Permit a change to an
approved tower in conjunction with Site Plan approval to allow:
1. A request for collocation, removal or replacement of transmission equipment that meets all of the
following standards:
a. the collocation, removal or replacement does not have the effect of diminishing the concealed
character of a tower originally approved as a concealed tower;
b. the mounting of the proposed antenna does not increase the height of the tower by more than 10%
of the height of the original tower or by the height needed to provide 20 feet of separation from
the closest antenna array location on the original tower, whichever is greater except that the
mounting of the proposed antenna may exceed these limits if necessary to avoid interference with
antenna existing on the original tower.
c. the mounting of the proposed antenna would not involve the installation of more than the
standard number of new equipment cabinets for the technology involved, not to exceed four, or
more than one new equipment shelter. New equipment shelters and cabinets shall be located
within the existing compound if technically feasible and, if they require expansion of the
equipment compound, shall meet all setback requirements and be fully screened from view.
c. the mounting of the proposed antenna would not involve adding an appurtenance to the tower that
would protrude from the edge of the original tower more than 20 feet or more than the width of
the tower at the level of the appurtenance, whichever is greater except that the mounting of the
proposed antenna may exceed the size limits set forth in this paragraph if necessary to shelter the
antenna from inclement weather or to connect the antenna to the tower via cable; and
d. the mounting of the proposed antenna would not involve excavation outside the original tower
site, defined as the boundaries of the leased or owned property surrounding the tower and any
23
access or utility easements currently related to the site, as shown on the originally approved Site
Plan for the tower.
e. the mounting of the proposed antenna would not require lighting be provided on a previously
unlit tower; does not substantially change the physical dimensions. For purposes of this
provision, “substantially change” shall be as established by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job
Creation Act of 2012 and interpreted by FCC guidance on the issue published January 25, 2013
(DA 12-2047).

A ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES 3 AND 5 ALLOWING EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCES IN THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS AS A BY-RIGHT USE
A public hearing was held to consider a Zoning Ordinance text amendment to Articles 3 and 5 allowing existing single-family detached residences in the Commercial and Industrial Districts as a by-right use. The Fauquier County Zoning Ordinance prohibits single-family detached residential units in commercial and industrial districts throughout the County except within the Commercial-1 (C-1) and Commercial Village (CV) districts, where single-family detached units are allowed with approval of a Special Permit. Where there are existing homes in these districts, owners are significantly limited in their abilities to expand the homes or add accessory structures, such as a shed. This text amendment would allow all existing homes in such districts by-right, providing flexibility to the property owner for improvements and normal accessory uses and structures. New houses constructed on C-1 or CV lots would continue to require a Special Permit and not be allowed in the other commercial or industrial districts. On December 4, 2013, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of an amended version of this text amendment. Kimberley A. Johnson, Zoning Administrator, summarized the proposed amendment. No one else spoke. The public hearing was closed. Mr. Sherbeyn moved to adopt the following Ordinance. Mr. Schwartz seconded and, following discussion, the motion was approved by a vote of 4 to 0 as follows:
Ayes: Mr. Christopher N. Granger; Mr. Peter B. Schwartz; Mr. D. Lee

A public hearing was held to consider a proposed text amendment that creates a
definition for the "Firing Range, Skeet or Trapshooting" use allowed by Special Exception
pursuant to Section 3-309.3 of the Zoning Ordinance in several districts. Currently no definition
exists. The definition includes language explicitly allowing small-scale manufacturing and sales
as an accessory use. On December 4, 2013, the Planning Commission recommended approval of
a revised version of the Ordinance with a vote of 4-1. Kimberley A. Johnson, Zoning
Administrator, summarized the proposed amendment. Dan Gisselquist, Scott District, spoke in
support of the accessory use, but disagreed with the location of the definition within the Zoning
Ordinance. No one else spoke. The public hearing was closed. Mr. Sherbeyn moved to adopt

ORDINANCE
A ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT TO SECTION 15-300 CREATING A
DEFINITION FOR "FIRING RANGE, SKEET OR TRAPSHOOTING"
WHEREAS, the Fauquier County Zoning Ordinance regulates “Firing Range, Skeet or
Trapshooting” facility as a use set forth in Section 3-309.3; and
WHEREAS, the Fauquier County Zoning Ordinance does not define the “Firing Range,
Skeet or Trapshooting” facility; and
WHEREAS, Fauquier County desires that the definition for “Firing Range, Skeet or
Trapshooting” facility clarify the extent and nature of accessory uses allowed with such use; and
WHEREAS, on October 31, 2013, the Fauquier County Planning Commission initiated
this text amendment; and
WHEREAS, on December 4, 2013, the Fauquier County Planning Commission held a
public hearing on the proposed text amendment and recommended approval of a revised version
of the Ordinance by a vote of 4-1; and
WHEREAS, adoption of the attached amendment to Section 15-300 adding a definition
for “Firing Range, Skeet or Trapshooting” facility supports good zoning practice, convenience
and the general welfare; now, therefore, be it
ORDAINED by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors this 9th
day of January 2014,
That the amendment to Section 15-300 be, and is hereby, amended to add the following:
15-300 Definitions
FIRING RANGE, SKEET or TRAPSHOOTING: The use of a structure or land for
archery and/or the discharging of firearms for the purposes of target practice, skeet and
trap shooting or other recreational uses. Accessory uses, such as the production and sale
of firearm accessories and gunsmithing, are permitted provided they are clearly
subordinate to the Range, except that the retail sale of firearms or ammunition shall not
be permitted as an accessory use unless specifically authorized by the Board of
Supervisors in the approval of the Special Exception.
A ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES 3 AND 5 TO PERMIT VETERINARY CLINICS AND TO MODIFY THE APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MOTOR FREIGHT TERMINALS IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK (I-1) ZONING DISTRICT
A public hearing was held to consider a text amendment to Articles 3 and 5 of the Zoning Ordinance. This text amendment contains two (2) parts. The first part adds Veterinary Clinics as a permitted by-right use in the Industrial Park (I-1) zoning district. Currently, the Zoning
27
Ordinance does not allow Veterinary Clinics within the I-1 district. The second part modifies the approval requirements for Motor Freight Terminals within the I-1 district. Currently, Motor Freight Terminals are permitted in the I-1 district by approval of a Special Exception. This amendment changes Motor Freight Terminals to a use permitted by approval of an Administrative Permit by the Zoning Administrator provided certain standards are satisfied. If the standards cannot be satisfied the use would continue to require the approval of a Special Exception by the Board of Supervisors. On December 4, 2013, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and forwarded a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors by a 3-2 vote. The Planning Commission recommendation included amending Veterinary Clinics to a by-right permitted use in the I-1 district with no change to the Motor Freight Terminals. Therefore, Motor Freight Terminals would continue to require approval of a Special Exception. Chuck A. Floyd, Assistant Chief of Zoning and Development Services, summarized the proposed amendments. No one else spoke. The public hearing was closed. Mr. Sherbeyn moved to adopt the following Ordinance. Mr. Granger seconded and, following discussion, the motion was approved by a vote of 4 to 0 as follows:
