The Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC) met on March 18, 2010, and unanimously recommended the creation of three new agricultural and forestal districts and the renewal of three existing agricultural and forestal districts. The Planning Commission unanimously reconunended creating three new agricultural and forestal districts and renewing the three existing agricultural and forestal districts at their meeting of April 7, 20l 0, The following items are included in year agenda: 1) Creation of the Albin Agricultural and Forestal District, 2) Creation of the Appie Pie Ridge Agricultural and Forestal District. 3} Creation of the South Timber Ridge Agricultural and Forestal District. 4) Update of the 2010 -2015 Double Church, Red 13ud anal South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal Districts. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 �'Vinchester, Virg�nla 22,601 -5000 update. of the zolo -zoos South ��-c�erick Agricultural and ForestaZ District Chapter 43, Section 15.2 -4300 of the +Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, requires that Agricultural and Forestal Districts be reviewed by the local government every five years after establishment. The South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District {District) was established in 1980. This is a request to the Frederick County Planning Carnmission to renew the District, to add five parcels of 429.36 + /- acres and remove three parcels of 221.48 + /- acres. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee {ADAC} unanimously recommended approval to renew, remove acreage and add acreage to the South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting on March 1$, 2010. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this district at their meeting of Apri17, 2010.. LOCATION AND SIZE This District is located in the Back Creek Magisterial District and currently contains 5,974.65+/ - acres. The proposed addition of five parcels (tax map numbers: 62- 12 -5 -53, 72 -A�24, 73 -A -31, 73 -A -73, and 84 -A -50) will bring the acreage of the District to 6,404.Oi +/- acres. Three parcels {tam map numbers 84 -A -29, 73 -A -3, and 73- 12 -13) totaling 221.48 +f - acres have requested to be removed from the District, Leaving a total of 6,182.53 + /- acres in size. Please see attached map. AGRICULTURAL &FORESTAL SIGNIFICANCE The predominantly agricultural operations in the new District are 90 percent agriculture {orchard, and crop harvesting) and 10 percent open- spacelwoodlands. The area within the District is rural in nature. LAND USE All parcels within the proposed District are in agricultural or residential use. COMPREIiENSIVE PLAN The 2007 Comprehensive Policy Plan of Frederick County (Comp Plan} provides guidance when considering land use actions. The addition of these parcels within the District are outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA), and are not part of any land use plan or study by the County. The current land use should remain in its present land use of pristine condition with orchards, agricultural, and residential. LAKES/PONDS /STREAMS The proposed District lies primarily within the Opequon Creek and Stephens Run drainage area. The establishment of this District will further assist with managing the quality of the County's water resources. SOILS The general relief of the District varies from rolling hills to ridges to the north, west, south and east. This District lies within the Opequon Creek watershed and water is available from ponds, wells and springs. 1 PRIME AGRICULTURE SOIL The largest amount of prime agricultural soils located within the District is Frederick - P oplimento. STAFF COMMENTS Based on this information, staff feels that the additions to this District are agriculturally significant as outlined in the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act and the 2007 Corn rehensive Policy Plan (Comp Piano, which labels the area as rural. The intent of the Dural .Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County's economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the UDA. The Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in Agricultural and Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan supports additions to and renewal of the District, for it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning efforts for the management of their operations while providing a reserve of agricultural land through the year 2015. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE APRIL 28 2010 FREDERICK COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING: The Frederick County Agricultural District Advisozy Committee (ADAC} unanimously recommended approval of the South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting of March 18, 2010, and the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this district at their meeting on April 7, 2010. Staff would recommend that the Board of Supervisors consider renewing this District with the addition of the five parcels totaling 429.36 +1 - acres and the removal of three parcels of 221.48 +1 - acres. This will leave the District with an acreage total of 6,182.53 + /- acres. The Comprehensive Plan and this District provide an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural land through the year 2015. PLANNING COMMISSION Si7MMARY &ACTION OF THE 4107110 MEETING: One citizen spoke during the public comment portion of the public hearing. Mr. Paul Anderson, an active farmer in the Gainesboro District, spoke on behalf of himself and the Frederick County Farm Bureau. He spoke in favor of the renewal of the three existing districts and the establishment of the three new districts. He said there were many benefits to belonging within an Agricultural District, one being the land use and another is the protection it provides agriculture in the case of nuisance suits. Mr. Anderson advised against limiting inclusion in an agricultural and forestal district to the number of acres; he said an intensively farmed five -acre parcel could result in a higher profit return than a larger acreage parcel used for cattle. No other issues or areas of concern were raised by Commission members. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the renewal of the South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District.
