Virginia, no private advertisement sign can be placed on the State's right-of-way. Prior to
erection on private property, a permit may have to be applied for through our District Office
in Staunton. You may do so by contacting Mr. Larry Curry at (540) 332-9098.

Building code and Section 312 of the BOCA National Building Code/1996. Note section

Health Department: The Health Department has no objection as long as there is no increase
in water use due to employees or patrons of the business. There are to be no employees other
than the current residents/family members on the property.
Sanitation Authority: No comment.
City of Winchester: No comments.
Planning and Zoning: The applicant is currently operating as a home occupation and would
expand to service customers at this property. A restoration consultant business of this scale
in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District would qualify as a home occupation. However, due
to the desire to have a sign associated with this business, approval as a cottage occupation
is necessary. The business will be conducted wholly within the principal dwelling. The
adjoining properties are set back 50 feet from the structure where this business will be
operating. Based upon the limited scale of the proposed use and evaluation of this property,
it appears this use would not have any significant impacts on the adjoining properties.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 04-05-00 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
2. No storage of any equipment associated with this business on the property.
3. Any proposed business sign shall conform to Cottage Occupation sign requirements; sign shall
not exceed four (4) square feet.
4. Any change of use or expansion of the business will require a new Conditional Use Permit.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY & ACTION OF THE 04/05/00 MEETING:
The applicant explained that his business specializes in historic restoration and although his office will
be on this site, the work is carried out at other locations.
