Winchester-Frederick County Health Department: The Frederick County Health Department
cannot approve a commercial business to be added to an existing drainfield. Please consult with
a private onsite evaluator (OSE) to submit an application for approval with a permit.
Frederick County Fire Marshall: Plans approved.
Planning and Zoning: The 2030 Comprehensive Policy Plan of Frederick County
(“Comprehensive Plan”) provides guidance when considering land use actions. The location of
this proposed nail salon business is in a part of the County that is to remain rural in nature, and
not part of any current land use study. The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance allows a nail
salon as a cottage occupation in the R-5 (Residential Recreational Community) zoning district
with an approved Conditional Use Permit. The proposed use will take place within the
Applicant’s dwelling. There will be no employees with use, and the customer base five of (5)
customers per day, with hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. 6:00
p.m. The Applicant has agreed to the customer base, hours, and days of operation. There will be
no signs with this Conditional Use Permit. Based upon the limited scale of the proposed use and
evaluation of the property, it appears this use would not have any significant impacts on the
adjoining properties.

1. All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times.

Staff explained Cottage Occupations are permitted in the R5 zoning district with an approved

1. All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all
times
2. No signage allowed with this Conditional Use Permit

A Commission Member referred to condition #2 and inquired why no signage is allowed. Staff
noted the Applicant did not want any signs on the property. The Applicant came forward to
address the question raised; she explained her home is part of an HOA which does not permit
signage in yards and she will continue to respect that.
A Commission Member inquired as to why the Frederick County Health Department could not
comment on this application. Staff explained the health department did not comment because
the Applicant’s drainfield is in the front yard of the property which is actually in West Virginia.
Staff continued, they spoke to the Hampshire County Health Department as a courtesy requesting
their opinion on this application. Staff concluded the Applicant provided documentation from
Hampshire County noting the drainfield and its location.
A motion was made, seconded, and unanimously passed to recommend approval of CUP #04-16
for Vicki Nash for a cottage occupation nail salon with a revision to the condition for the hours
of operation from Monday – Friday to Monday – Saturday.
