Cheran, Zoning Administrator Apc-._ Subject: September Meeting and Agenda Date: September 21, 2005 The Frederick County Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) will be meeting on Thursday, September 29, 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 adding health clubs to Section 165-82 A of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. Staff is seeking to add health clubs SIC 7991 to this section of the zoning ordinance. Currently the zoning ordinance does not allow health clubs in the B-1 (Neighborhood Business) Zoning District. The current section is attached, (See attachments) 2) Discussion of Section 165-30 of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. Staff is seeking input from the DRRS regarding the interpretation and application of this section as related to signage. The current and proposed section(s) are located below. (See attachments) 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. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 - Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Item # 1 Section 165-82 A The zoning ordinance currently does not allow health clubs SIC 7991 to be located in the B-1 (Neighborhood Business) Zoning District. These health clubs would be limited to 2,000 sq. ft, to keep with the intent of the B-1 Zoning District. A copy of the current section and proposed section are included. Staff believes that health clubs should be an allowed use in the B-1 Zoning District, and limited to 2,000 sq. ft. This limitation on square footage will insure that no large commercial indoor recreation use would occur in the B-1 Zoning District. This proposed change is located below. 165-82 A SIC 7991- Health Clubs no larger than 2,000 sq. ft.

Changes of this section may be needed to avoid any confusion and add clarification to this section of the ordinance. Staff believes that this section of the ordinance is difficult to understand and read for the general public. Currently the ordinance lacks design or performance standards. Staff will be presenting illustrations of the different of sign types and a new matrix. The current ordinance section is included for your review. Frederick County Proposal for: Sign Regulations, and Matrix 165-30 Purpose. It is determined that the primary purpose of signage is to help people find what they need without difficulty or confusion, and without adverse impact on the visual character of an area. Thus, while not restricting the freedom of expression, regulations are hereby established for controlling the number, design, and location of signs, for treating similar types of signs consistently, and for preventing an overload of graphic messages or displays in the environment of Frederick County. Signs are subordinate to the structures and land use functions they reference. Signs are to be considered accessory components of an overall composition of architectural elements, not as freestanding or dominant architectural elements by themselves. This Section establishes standards for the erection, display, safety, and maintenance of signs which are intended to convey graphic messages; encourage the general attractiveness, historic quality, and unique character of Frederick County, and protect property values therein.
