Tyler Klein, AICP, Senior Planner' SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment— Boat Repair Shop DATE: February 18, 2021 Staff has been requested to draft an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to include "Boat Repair Shop" as a conditional use in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District. The Frederick Zoning Ordinance currently allows boat repair shops only within the M1 (Light Industrial) and M2 (Industrial General) Zoning Districts (classified as SIC -37 Transportation Equipment).

In addition to being a by -right use in the M1 and. M-2 Districts, automotive repair is also permitted as a conditional use in the RA District (public garage). Staff has prepared a text amendment for three (3) areas of the Zoning Ordinance. These include: 1) a new definition for a "boat repair shop," 2) additional regulations for specific uses for boat repair shops and, 3) the inclusion of boat repair shops as a conditional use in the RA District. The Development Review and Regulations (DRRC) discussed this item at their meeting on January 28, 2021. The DRRC agreed with the text amendment as drafted by staff and forwarded it to the Planning Commission for discussion. The Planning Commission discussed this item on February 17, 2021. The attached document shows the existing ordinance with the proposed changes supported by the DRRC (with bold italic for text added) and the Planning Commission.
