The Frederick County Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) ,,vill be meeting
on Thursday, October 27, 2005 at 7:30 p.m. in the BOARD ROOM of the County Administration
Building, 107 North Kent Street, Winchester, Virginia. The DRRS will discuss the following agenda
items:
AGENDA
1) Discussion of removal of Section 165-59 (12) of the Frederick County Zoning
Ordinance. Staff is seeking to remove this sub -section of the zoning ordinance; this use is
by Conditional Use Permit (CUP), not a by -right use. This use is not a new requirement but
a misprint. The current section is attached. (See attachment)
2) Discussion of changes to Chapter 144 Section 24 (b) Subdivision of Land Code of
Frederick County. Staff is seeking to remove from and add language to this section. The
current and proposed section and changes are located below. (See attachment)
3) Other
Access to this building is limited during the evening hours. Therefore, it will be necessary to enter
the Board Room through the rear doors. I would encourage committee members and interested
citizens to park in the County parking lot located behind the new addition or in the joint Judicial
Center parking lot and follow the sidewalk to the back door of the Board Room, adjacent to the
outdoor picnic plaza.
