ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO THE FREDERICK COUNTY CODE REGARDING SHORT-TERM
LODGING—APPROVED
Planning Director Wyatt Pearson explained the proposed amendment to Chapter 165 — Zoning to
add "short-term lodging (STL)"to the definitions section, provide additional regulations for short-term lodging
and add the use to the RA(Rural Areas), RP (Residential Performance)and MH1 (Mobile Home Community)
Zoning Districts. He said the use would also be permitted in the R4 (Residential Planned Community) and
R5 (Residential Recreation Community) Districts which follow the permitted uses specified in the RP District.
He said as proposed, STL would be permitted in all residential dwelling types (single-family detached,
townhomes, apartments, duplexes, mobile homes, etc.), adding that non-residential dwellings, such as tents,
recreational vehicles/campers, and other structures that do not meet the building code definition of"dwelling"
would otherwise be prohibited from being used as short-term lodging units. He further explained that following
the Board of Supervisors discussion on August 10,2022,two(2)scenarios,outlined below,were sent forward
for public hearing.
Scenario A:
Short-term lodging would be allowed by-right for single-family detached (SFD) residences in the RA (Rural
Areas), RP (Residential Performance), and MH1 (Mobile Home Community) Zoning Districts. STL operators
would only need to have an approved STL administrative permit and valid business license. No additional
regulations are proposed to address access from private driveways under this proposal.
Scenario B:
Short-term lodging would be allowed by-right for SFD residences in the RP, and MH1 Zoning Districts. Short-
term lodging would be allowed by-right in the RA District only where access to the property is provided directly
from a state roadway; short-term lodging would be allowed through an approved Conditional Use Permit

(CUP)for properties where access is provided from a private driveway. CUP's require public notification and
public hearings.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing.
The speakers were as follows:
Leslie Schottroffe, Opequon District, said she was opposed to short-term rentals on her private
driveway known as Waynes Lane and that she preferred Scenario B.
Sue Case, Opequon District, said she did not oppose short-term rentals if they did not affect the
neighbors and spoke in favor of Scenario B.
Geremy Engle, Back Creek District, said he owns a short-term rental and prefers Scenario A while
Scenario B infringes on property rights.
Marie Renzy, Back Creek District, said she cleans short-term rentals as a job and wants a resolution
allowing short-term rentals, to protect her livelihood.
Samantha Berry, Back Creek District, said as co-owner of a short-term rental she prefers Scenario
A rather than Scenario B which she said will have a detrimental effect on short-term rental owners.
Kevin Athey, Back Creek District, spoke in support of Scenario A which he said will have the least
number of regulations.
Angie Wooten, Opequon District, spoke in support of Scenario A. She said her short-term rental
sustained her during the pandemic and that having to obtain a conditional use permit would be a hardship
for some owners.
Karl Achstetter, Opequon District, said he owns the short-term rental on Waynes Lane. He said the
traffic has actually been reduced with renters there instead of when he and his family resided there. He spoke
in favor of Scenario A.
Mike Schottroffe, Opequon District, spoke in favor of Scenario B citing the speeding and dust created
on Waynes Lane by drivers using the existing short-term rental.
Tom Fitzgerald, Back Creek District, asked the Board to be fair and support Scenario A rather than
Scenario B.
Gillian Greenfield, Gainesboro District, spoke in favor of Scenario A saying that no conditional use
permit should be required for operating a short-term rental.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Vice Chairman McCarthy moved to adopt Scenario A of the proposed ordinance regarding short-
term lodging. Supervisor Graber seconded the motion.
