Developmentally Sensitive Area (DSA) Designation Modification
Board of Superc�isors Public Hearing
Page 2
May 25, 2010
The following is a�ro�osed Amendment to the 2407 Comprehensive Policy Plan; Northeast Land
Use Plan and Eastern Frederick Count Lon Ran e Land Use Plan to modify the Developmentally
Sensitive Areas (DSA) designation in the vicinity of Route 11 North, to include the removal of areas
of DSA and to reflect recently approved development projects, as directed by the Board of
Supervisors.
Enclosed with this agenda item is a copy of the original Northeast Land Use Plan, approved in 2003,
and a copy of the modified 2003 North East Land Use Plan with the D SA modified as directed by the
Board of Supervisors. Staffhas also provided a close up version ofthe modified area for additional
clarification.
The Updated 2003 Northeast Land Use Plan is slightly different from the original Plan in that it has
been updated to reflect those changes, and only those changes, that the Board of Supervisors have
approved since the original 2003 approval afthe Northeast Land Use Plan. These changes include an
updated zoning layer reflecting all of the rezonings approved by the BOS, an updated SWSA and
UDA boundary, and an updated Eastern Road Plan. Na changes have been made to the text
contained within the 2003 Northeast Land Use Plan. As the Board is aware, it is anticipated that a
more significant update to the NELUP will occur during 2010.
The Board of Supervisors' approval ofthe Graystone Office and Industrial Park rezoning included the
consideration of the Developmentally Sensitive Areas in the vicinity of the project. The Planned Unit
Development designation that exists on the property has been extended to cover the entire Graystone
Property reflective of the Boards' approval of the Cxraystone Office and Industrial Park project. In
those other areas where the DSA has been removed outside of the boundaries of the Graystone
project, no new land use designation has been proposed.
This item is being presented to the Board of Supervisors as a public hearing for amendment to the
200'7 Comprehensive Policy Plan, Northeast Land Use Plan and Eastern Frederick County Lang
Range Land Use Plan to modify the Developmentally Sensitive Areas {DSA) designation in the
vicinity of Route 11 North.
