Item 2: Review of the Conditional Use Permit – Event Center at 283 Barracks Lane; PIN #52-A-261
The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above referenced
Conditional Use Permit application during their meeting on June 20, 2017. The HRAB reviewed
information associated with the Rural Landmarks Survey, information from the Virginia Department
of Historic Resources (VDHR) and information provided by the Applicant. This application seeks to
operate an event center at 283 Barracks Lane, Winchester. This property is within the Gainesboro
Magisterial District.
Historic Resources Advisory Board Concerns
The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley, published by the National Park Service, does
not identify the proposed site or the surrounding areas as being part of a battlefield. The Rural
Landmarks Survey Report for Frederick County, Virginia, identifies five historic structures located
within the vicinity of the proposed Conditional Use Permit, with the neighboring structure eligible for
the National Register of Historic Places.
After reviewing this information and the Applicant’s materials and proposals, the Historic Resources
Advisory Board (HRAB) recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the condition that
the Applicant utilize materials that keep with the rural agricultural nature of the area; specifically
wood construction with a standing seam metal roof.
Meeting was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
