# July 13, 2026 Rockingham County Planning Board Meeting

The Rockingham County Planning Board held a meeting on July 13, 2026, where they addressed several land use and zoning matters. A key procurement-related discussion involved the approval of a special use permit for a new wireless telecommunications tower proposed by Towercom Enterprises on property owned by Mr. Irving. The board reviewed the application, including engineering assessments and a property value impact study, and approved the permit with a waiver reducing the required number of co-location spaces on the tower from five to four. The board also considered a zoning map amendment request to rezone parcels from Neighborhood Commercial Conditional District back to Residential Agricultural, with the applicant proposing to subdivide the land into two 15-acre residential lots. The board recommended approval of this rezoning, which will proceed to the county commission for final decision. Additionally, the board approved a zoning text amendment updating floodplain ordinance references to maintain compliance with FEMA and state statutes. Motions related to these items were passed unanimously, reflecting the board's focus on land use planning, telecommunications infrastructure, and regulatory compliance.
