Item 2: Review of the Conditional Use Permit – West Oaks Special Event Center
The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above-referenced Conditional
Use Permit application during their meeting on March 27, 2018. 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 4305 Middle Road,
Winchester. This property is within the Back Creek Magisterial District.

for Frederick County, Virginia, identifies two structures located within the vicinity of the proposed Conditional
Use Permit.

Board (HRAB) recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit as presented.
