MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Michael T. Ruddy, AICP��
Deputy Director
RE: Public Hearing; Urban Development Area (UDA) Boundary Clarification at
Stonewall lndustrial Park (resulting in a reduction in the UDA of 798 acres).
This is an Amendment to the 2007 Comprehensive Policy Plan; Chapter 6, Land Use.
DATE: June 04, 2008
The Board of Supervisors requested that the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee and
Planning Commission review, evaluate, and provide a recommendation on a clarification of the UDA
Boundary in the area surrounding the Stonewall lndustrial Park. The CPPS provided a positive
recommendation of this request at their May 12, 2008 meeting and the Planning Commission,
following a Public Hearing, endorsed this modification at their June 4, 2008 meeting. Following the
required public hearing, the Board of Supervisors may act on this modification to the UDA boundary
of the Comprehensive Policy Plan.
Back in September of 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved a series of modifications to the UDA
(Urban Development Area) and SWSA (Sewer and Water Service Area) boundaries. The purpose of
the modifications to the UDA and SWSA boundaries was to more appropriately reflect the current
land use designations of the Comprehensive Policy Plan. At your Apri19, 2008 meeting, the Board
of Supervisors requested that the UDA be adjusted to reflect the location identified in the
accompanying map. It was the belief of members of the Board of Supervisors that this was the
appropriate location of the UDA when considering the land use policies of the Comprehensive Plan
and the existing and approved land uses in this area.
The adjustment in the area of the UDA, as a result of this clarification, would be a reduction in the
UDA of approximately 798 acres. There would be no change in the SWSA and there would be no
implications for the existing land uses and approved proffered rezonings in this area, including the
Russell- Glendobbin Subdivision. Such a clarification would be consistent with the intention of the
original adjustment and in line with the thinking of the Board of Supervisors. It is important to
reiterate that the existing land uses and zoning entitlements, including the land zoned and master
planned as the Stonewall Industrial Park would not be impacted by the adjustment.
