Commonly Used Planning Agenda Terms
Meeting format
Citizen Comments – The portion of the meeting agenda offering an opportunity for the public to provide
comment to the Planning Commission on any items not scheduled as public hearing items.
Public Hearing– A specific type of agenda item, required by State law, which incorporates public comment as
a part of that item prior to Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors action. Public hearings are held for
items such as: Comprehensive Plan policies and amendments; Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance amendments;
and Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit applications. Following the Public Hearing, the Planning
Commission will take action on the item (see below).
Action Item–There are both public hearing and non-public hearing items on which the Planning Commission
takes action. Depending on the actual item, the Planning Commission may approve, deny, table, or forward a
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors regarding the agenda item. No public comment is accepted during
the Action Item portion of the agenda.
Information/Discussion Item– The portion of the meeting agenda where items are presented to the Planning
Commission for information and discussion. The Planning Commission may offer comments and suggestions,
but does not take action on the agenda item. No public comment is accepted during the Information/Discussion
Item portion of the agenda.
Planning Terminology
Urban Development Area or UDA – The UDA is the county’s urban growth boundary identified in the
Comprehensive Plan in which more intensive forms of residential development will occur. The UDA is an area
of the county where community facilities and public services are more readily available and are provided more
economically.
Sewer and Water Service Area or SWSA – The SWSA is the boundary identified in the Comprehensive Plan
in which public water and sewer is or can be provided. The SWSA is consistent with the UDA in many
locations; however the SWSA may extend beyond the UDA to promote commercial, industrial, and institutional
land uses in area where residential land uses are not desirable.
Land Use – Land Use is the nomenclature which refers to the type of activity which may occur on an area of
land. Common land use categories include: agricultural, residential, commercial, and industrial.
Zoning District - Zoning district refers to a specific geographic area that is subject to land use standards.
Frederick County designates these areas, and establishes policies and ordinances over types of land uses,
density, and lot requirements in each zone. Zoning is the main planning tool of local government to manage the
future development of a community, protect neighborhoods, concentrate retail business and industry, and
channel traffic.
Rezoning – Rezoning is the process by which a property owner seeks to implement or modify the permitted
land use activities on their land. A rezoning changes the permitted land use activities within the categories
listed above under Land Use.
Conditional Use Permit or CUP - A CUP allows special land uses which may be desirable, but are not always
appropriate based on a location and surrounding land uses. The CUP requested use, which is not allowed as a
matter of right within a zoning district, is considered through a public hearing process and usually contains
conditions to minimize any impacts on surrounding properties.
Ordinance Amendment – The process by which the County Code is revised. Often the revisions are the result
of a citizen request with substantial justification supporting the change. Amendments ultimately proceed
through a public hearing prior to the PC forwarding a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
County Bodies Involved
Board of Supervisors or BOS - Frederick County is governed by an elected Board of Supervisors composed of
seven members, one from each magisterial district, and one chairman-at-large. The Board of Supervisors is the
policy-making body of the county. Functions of the Board of Supervisors related to planning include making
land use decisions, and establishing growth and development policies.
Planning Commission or PC - The PC is composed of 13 members, two from each magisterial districts and one
at-large, appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The Planning Commission serves in an advisory capacity to the
Board of Supervisors which then takes final action on all planning, zoning, and land use matters.
Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee or CPPC – The CPPC is a major committee of the PC whose
primary responsibility is to formulate land use policies that shape the location and timing of development
throughout the County. Included in the work are studies of specific areas to develop guidelines for future land
use within those areas. The CPPC also considers requests for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
Decisions by CPPC are then forwarded to the PC for consideration.
Development Review and Regulations Committee or DRRC – The DRRC is the second major committee of the
PC whose primary responsibilities involve the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan in the form of
Zoning and Subdivision ordinance requirements. Requests to amend the ordinances to the DRRC are made by
the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, local citizens, businesses, or organizations. DRRC decisions
are also forwarded to the PC for consideration.

CUP #01-19, Patrick & Alicia Smith – Bed & Breakfast and Campground
March 26, 2019
Frederick County Fire Marshall: Approve.
CUP approved provided that a site plan be submitted, and the structure comply with Frederick
County Local & Fire Prevention Codes.
See original comment letter dated December 26, 2018.
Historic Resources Advisory Board: No comments.
Shawneeland Sanitary District: Comment provided by Mr. Kevin Alderman, Shawneeland
Sanitary District Manager: My biggest concern is the additional traffic that this facility may
generate once it opens for business. Winter months bring a huge challenge to vehicles trying to
access the top of the Mountain. Wolf Springs is the only trail to access the top. My staff is very
diligent in keeping this trail open for all traffic but especially emergency vehicles. The additional
traffic could create additional hazards. But after speaking with you this morning, I understand
the traffic impact will be minimal.
So from my stand point, there are no concerns at this point with the additional traffic.
See original comment letter (email) dated March 12, 2019.
Planning and Zoning:
This is a request for a CUP to enable the establishment (new construction) of a bed & breakfast
with up to five (5) guestrooms, a campground with up to thirty (30) tent-only campsites and up to
ten (10) non-enclosed (i.e. partially-enclosed) bunkhouses and supporting campground
infrastructure on a 100-acre property in the Great North Mountain Wilderness Area. Bed &
Breakfasts and Campgrounds are permitted within the RA (Rural Areas) zoning district through
an approved CUP. The Applicants plan to reside on the property and operate the bed & breakfast
out of their home and manage campground business. The Applicants may also develop the
property in phases. Per the application narrative, Phase I may include the owner’s single-family
detached home with separate guestrooms; and Phase II may include the proposed tent camping
sites, bunkhouses and bathhouses for use by campground guests and a separate commercial
kitchen to serve campground guests.
The Applicants intend to use the property to accommodate hikers using the Tuscarora Trail
which runs adjacent to the property to the north and other recreationalists. This may include
guests arriving via a vehicle and departing from the property, or guests hiking through on the
trail. The approximately 252-mile Tuscarora Trail runs along the crest of the Allegheny and Blue
Ridge Mountains passing through Virginia (including 26-miles through Frederick County), West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania and is an alternative north/south route for the Appalachian
Trail (AT).

CUP #01-19, Patrick & Alicia Smith – Bed & Breakfast and Campground
March 26, 2019
The property is accessed via a 50-foot wide private right-of-way with gated access (Valley View
Trail) that connects parcels in the Great North Mountain Wilderness Area to the Shawneeland
subdivision (via Timber Ridge Trail to Wolf Spring Trail; both are private roads) and out to Back
Mountain Road (State Route 600). The Applicant pays an annual fee to the Shawneeland
Sanitary District for use of community roadways to access their property. The property is also
served by the North Mountain Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company, located just outside of the
Shawneeland Community, and the Company has a key to the gated private driveway to access
the property during an emergency.
The property is surrounded by other RA (Rural Areas) zoned property, which includes open
space, agricultural/forestal uses, and single-family detached residences. The 2035
Comprehensive Policy Plan of Frederick County (Comprehensive Plan) identifies this area of the
County as “rural” and is to remain rural/agricultural in nature and is not part of any land use
study. The Tuscarora Trail is also a recreation feature identified in the Comprehensive Plan, the
Plan states: this trail is an important feature in the County for recreation and tourism.
