WinFred MPO
FY 2018 UPWP
INTRODUCTION
The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for transportation planning identifies all activities
to be undertaken in the Winchester-Frederick County Metropolitan Planning Organization
(WinFred MPO) study area for Fiscal Year 2018 (July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2018). The UPWP
provides a mechanism for the coordination of transportation planning activities in the region, and
is required as a basis for and condition of all federal funding assistance for transportation
planning by the joint metropolitan planning regulations of the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
The work tasks within this UPWP are reflective of issues and concerns originating from
transportation agencies at the federal, state and local levels. The descriptions of the tasks to be
accomplished and the budgets for these tasks are based on a best estimate of what can be
accomplished within the confines of available federal, state and local resources.
Statewide and metropolitan transportation planning processes are governed by Federal law (23
USC 134 and 135). Federal planning regulations are codified in 23 CFR 450.
Since the 1962 Federal-aid Highway Act, federal authorizing legislation for expenditure of
surface transportation funds has required metropolitan area transportation plans and programs to
be developed through a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive (3-C) planning process.
Over successive authorization cycles culminating with the passage of the
Surface Transportation (FAST) Act in December 2015, Congress has added and revised the
substantive content expected from the 3-C planning processes.
Transportation planning provides the information, tools, and public input needed for improving
transportation system performance. Transportation planning should reflect the community's
vision for its future. It should also include a comprehensive consideration of possible strategies;
an evaluation process that encompasses diverse viewpoints; the collaborative participation of
relevant transportation-related agencies and organizations; and an open, timely, and meaningful
involvement of the public. Transportation planning requires a comprehensive, holistic look at the
needs and the future of the region and its inhabitants.
Both the FHWA and FTA encourage MPOs to give priority to the following planning emphasis
areas in their UPWPs in Fiscal Year 2018:
Performance-Based Planning and Programming. Performance-based planning and
programming includes using transportation performance measures, setting targets, reporting
performance, and programming transportation investments directed toward the achievement of
transportation system performance outcomes. The WinFred MPO 2040 Long Range
Transportation Plan, due May 2017, was . In scoping the
plan, staff will work with local planning partners to define the implementation of performance-
based planning provisions in the planning process, and to explore the option of using scenario
planning.
Regional Models of Cooperation Ensure a Regional Approach to Transportation Planning by
Promoting Cooperation and Coordination across Transit Agency, MPO and State Boundaries.

WinFred MPO
FY 2018 UPWP
A coordinated approach supports common goals and capitalizes on opportunities related to
project delivery, congestion management, safety, freight, livability, and commerce across
boundaries. The WinFred MPO shares boundaries with two counties (Clarke, VA and Berkeley,
planning area from the north at the West Virginia line. Routes 7, 17/50, and 522 enter the
planning area from adjacent Clarke County, VA. In addition, the MPO lies within the five-
county planning district of the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission (NSVRC).
Coordination with neighboring jurisdictions and the NSVRC will be included in the scope of the
2040 Long Range Transportation Plan to be developed under Work Task 8.
Ladders of Opportunity Access to Essential Services including employment, health care,
schools/education, and recreation. Recent UPWP tasks addressing access needs include bus
stop, system performance and marketing studies for Winchester Transit; and the 2014 Bicycle
and Pedestrian Master Plan update. The MPO participates in the updating of the Section 5310
Coordinated Human Services Mobility Plan (managed by DRPT and the Shenandoah Area
ied the feasibility of extending
transit service from Winchester to Lord Fairfax Community College. The scope of the 2040 Long
Range Transportation Plan to be developed under Task 8 will include a plan for engaging
traditionally underserved populations and disadvantaged communities.
Metropolitan Planning Area
Transportation planning processes are required to be organized and directed for all urbanized
areas (UZAs) having a population of 50,000 or greater, as delineated by the U.S. Census Bureau,
by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). MPOs are established for a metropolitan
planning area (MPA) that must contain, at a minimum, the Census Bureau delineated urbanized
area and the area expected to become urbanized in the next 20 years. An MPO, its planning
boundaries and membership and voting structure are established and designated by agreement
between local officials and the Governor ( 23 CFR 450.310).
The WinFred MPO planning area consists of the City of Winchester, the Town of Stephens City,
the Urbanized Area of Frederick County, and the area of Frederick County projected to be
urbanized by the year 2020 (see map on following page).
As reported by FHWA for 2010, the WinFred MPO Urbanized Area population was 78,440 and
it encompasses a land area of approximately 103 sq. miles.

Responsibilities for Transportation Planning
The WinFred Metropolitan Planning Organization is the organization responsible for conducting
the continuing, comprehensive, and coordinated (3-C) planning process for the Winchester-
Frederick County Urbanized Area in accordance with requirements of Section 134 (Title 23
U.S.C.) of the Federal Highway Act of 1962, and Section 5303 of the Federal Transit Act. The
WinFred MPO is the official Metropolitan Planning Organization for the urbanized area,
designated by the Governor of Virginia, under Section 134 of the Federal Aid Highway Act, and
the joint metropolitan planning regulations of FHWA and FTA.
The policy making body of the WinFred MPO is the Policy Board that consists of 8 voting
members. These include 3 representatives from the City of Winchester, 3 representatives from
Frederick County, 1 representative from the Town of Stephens City, and 1 representative from
VDOT. Other agencies with non-voting membership on the WinFred MPO Policy Board include
the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, Virginia Department of Aviation,
Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration.
The Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission (NSVRC) provides staff support to the
WinFred MPO. NSVRC staff members, in cooperation with the MPOs member agencies,
collect, analyze and evaluate demographic, land use, and transportation data to gain a better
understanding of the transportation system requirements of the area. Special studies, research,
and other work tasks requested by the MPO are the responsibility of the NSVRC to plan and
coordinate. Consultant assistance may be sought when required to complete work tasks. NSVRC
also prepares materials for use at the Policy Board, Technical Advisory and Citizens Advisory
Committee meetings as well as any sub-committee meetings that are scheduled.
NSVRC staff will participate in all WinFred MPO meetings and provide required staff support
and administration of the transportation planning program. In addition, staff members will
represent the MPO at any meetings with federal, state, and local organizations as necessary.
Total Proposed Funding by Federal Source for FY 2018
Metropolitan Planning Funds (PL funds) are provided from the Federal Highway Trust Fund and
distributed by State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) to MPOs to conduct the planning
activities required by Title 23 of the U.S. Code 134. PL funds are distributed to States based on a
ratio of urbanized-area population in individual States to the total nationwide urbanized-area
population. State DOTs then distribute this funding to the MPOs in their State based on a
formula agreed to by the MPOs and approved by their FHWA Division Office.
The primary funding source for transportation planning activities included in this work program
are the FHWA Section 112 (PL) and FTA Section 5303. The proposed funding amounts
(including state and local matching funds) for completion of tasks described in this UPWP are
shown in Figure 2.

REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Dept. of Transportation:
The documentation within the application to rezone this property
appears to have little measurable impact on Route 522. This route is the VDOT roadway which has
been considered as the access to the property referenced.
VDOT is satisfied that the transportation/access management proffers offered in the Express Oil
Change & Tire Engineers rezoning application dated September 9, 2016 addresses transportation
concerns associated with the request. It should be noted that to ensure the right in/right out, the
entrance design will require a median device be constructed to prevent a left turn in/out of the proposed
entrance.
Before development this office will require a complete set of construction plans detailing designs,
drainage features and traffic flow data for review.
Frederick County Fire Marshall:
Plan approved.
Frederick County Sanitation Authority:
No comment.
Frederick County Department of Public Works:
Please see letter from Harvey E. Strawsnyder, Jr.,
P.E., Director dated October 5, 2016.
Frederick County Attorney:
Please see letter from Roderick B. Williams, County Attorney dated
October 11, 2016.
Winchester Regional Airport:
Due to FAA Federal regulation owner/developer will be required to
file with the FAA for an airspace study as part of the site plan process for all buildings prior to
construction with a separate filing for temporary construction equipment exceeding height of structure.
Rezoning is compatible with airport operations.
City of Winchester:
The City of Winchester can readily provide water and sanitary sewer service to
this parcel and has no concerns about the proposed rezoning and development.
Planning & Zoning:
1)Site History

PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY AND ACTION FROM THE 02/15/17 MEETING:
Staff reported this is an application to rezone 0.604 acres from the B2 (General Business) District to the
B3 (Industrial Transition) District with proffers. Staff noted the Applicant is seeking to rezone the site
to the B3 District to enable the construction of an express oil and tire facility. Staff provided an
overview of the site and the proposed proffers. A Commission Member asked in regards to the proffer
to exclude certain uses such as landscaping or transit services and whether it was requested by staff or
provided by the Applicant. Staff noted the excluded uses were proposed by the Applicant.
Mr. Evan Wyatt of Greenway Engineering, representing the Applicant introduced the contract
purchasers from Alabama: From Express Oil Change, John Davis; The contract purchasers, Charles
Thompson and Kim Johnson. Mr. Wyatt reported Express Oil Change reflects a business model of the
10 minute oil change; they also conduct light auto service such as tires, alignments, and tune-ups. Mr.
Wyatt noted this project will be the first Express Oil Change in the valley along I-81, the fifth one in the
state of Virginia and he is pleased the group has considered our community as a first stop on the I-81
corridor. Mr. Wyatt elaborated on the proffer of inter-parcel connectivity; the Applicant has an
agreement with IHOP and the property owners which is circulating for all required signatures that will
facilitate access to Front Royal Pike via the signalized entrance that is existing.
A Commission Member inquired about where the service operations will take place indoors or
outdoors. Mr. Wyatt confirmed that all service and repair operations would occur inside the structure.
A Commission Member inquired if there will be a traffic barrier in front of this location similar to the
one in front of Costco. Mr. Wyatt confirmed there will be a barrier which will be designed and meet the
requirements and approval of VDOT. A Commission Member asked for confirmation if there will be
three oil change bays and two service bays; in the proffers it reads three oil bays and three service bays
and will the structure be the same square footage. Mr. Wyatt noted the building footprint had to be
reduced therefore resulting in five total bays rather than six.
A motion was made, seconded, and unanimously passed to recommend approval of REZ #02-17 for
Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers.

EXPRESS OIL CHANGE &
TIRE ENGINEERS DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared for the purpose of assessing the impact on Fredrick County by
the proffered rezoning of a 0.604±-acre subject property owned by Titans Corporation, and
identified as Tax Map Parcel 64-A-1F. The subject property is located on the west side of
313 northbound on-ramp, and is currently zoned B-2, Business General District.The
Applicant proposes to rezone the 0.604±-acre subject property to B-3 Industrial Transition
District with proffers to allow for the development of an Express Oil Change and Tire
Engineers facility that is approximately 4,850 square feet with 3 service bays and 3 oil
change bays along the commercial corridor.
Basic information
Location: Fronting on the west side of Front Royal Pike (U.S.
Route 522 South); approximately 1,00
Interstate 81 Exit 313 northbound on-ramp.
Magisterial District: Shawnee District
Property ID Numbers: 64-A-1F
Current Zoning: B-2, Business General District
Current Use: Undeveloped
Proposed Zoning: B-3, Industrial Transition District
Proposed Use: Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers Facility
Total Rezoning Area: 0.604±-acres with proffers for the subject property
COMPREHENSIVE POLICY PLAN
Urban Development Area
The Urban Development Area (UDA) defines the general area in which residential,
commercial, industrial and institutional land use development is encouraged in the County.
File #3484E Impact Analysis Statement/EAW
2
Greenway Engineering August 15, 2016 Express Oil & Tire Engineers Rezoning
The 0.604±-acre subject property is currently located within the UDA; therefore, expansion
of the UDA boundary to accommodate the proposed development of commercial land use is
not required for this rezoning application.
Sewer and Water Service Area
The Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) is generally consistent with the UDA, but also
extends outside of the UDA to accommodate areas of the County in which commercial and
industrial land use development is only desired. The 0.604±-acre subject property is
currently located within the SWSA; therefore, expansion of the SWSA boundary to
accommodate the proposed development of commercial land use is not requiredfor this
rezoning application.
Comprehensive Plan Conformity
The 0.604±-acre subject property is located in the UDA and the SWSA and is within the
study area boundary of the Senseny/Eastern Frederick Urban Area Study. The
Senseny/Eastern Frederick Urban Area Study is a large-area plan that identifies land uses,
transportation networks, and other matters that are recommended for consideration for future
land use and development within this geographic area of the County. The 0.604±-acre
subject property is identified for B2/B3 commercial land use; therefore, the proposed B-3,
Industrial Transition District rezoning is in conformance with the land use recommendations
of the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The B-3, Industrial Transition District rezoning is
proposed to allow for the development of the Express Oil Change and Tire Engineers facility,
which has been determined not to be a permitted stand-alone land use within the B-2,
Business General District. The Express Oil Change and Tire Engineers facility is an
appropriate commercial land use along a major commercial corridor.
SUITABILITY OF THE SITE
Access
The 0.604±-acre subject property is located on the west side of Front Royal Pike (U.S. Route
522 South), approximately 250 feet south of the Front Royal Pike/Travel Lodge Drive
signalized intersection.Access to the subject property is planned to be provided with a
shared right-in/right-out commercial entrance; as well as through an inter-parcel connection
with the IHOP property that will provide access to the signalized intersection to facilitate
protected left turn movements onto Front Royal Pike.
Flood Plains
The 0.604±-acre subject property does not contain areas of floodplain as demonstrated on
FEMA NFIP Map #51069C0216D, Effective Date September 2, 2009; as well as information
from the Frederick County GIS Database.
File #3484E Impact Analysis Statement/EAW

Greenway Engineering August 15, 2016 Express Oil & Tire Engineers Rezoning
Wetlands
The 0.604±-acre subject property does not contain wetland areas as demonstrated on the
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map information from the Frederick County GIS
Database.
Soil Types
The 0.604±-acre subject property contains one soil type as demonstrated by the Soil Survey
of Frederick County, Virginia and the Frederick County GIS Database. The following soil
type is present on site:
3B Blairton Silt Loams 2-7% slope
3C Blairton Silt Loams 2-15% slope
The Blaitron Silt Loam soil type is identified as a prime agricultural soil and has severe wet
properties. The existing commercial land uses that have been constructed along the east and
west sides of the Front Royal Pike (Route 522 South) commercial corridor contain the same
soil type, and the subject property is not conducive for agricultural land use per the
Comprehensive Policy Plan. The soil type is conducive for commercial development of the
subject property.
Other Environmental Features
The 0.604±-acre subject property does not contain areas of steep slope, lakes or ponds or
natural stormwater retention areas as defined by the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance.
There are no known environmental features present that create development constraints for
the proposed commercial development project.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
Adjoining property zoning and present use:
North: B-2, Business General District Use: Restaurant (IHOP)
South: B-2, Business General District Use: Office
East: B-2, Business General District Use: Pool Hall; Retail/Grocery

TRANSPORTATION
The 0.604±-acre subject property is located on the west side of Front Royal Pike (U.S. Route
522 South), approximately 250 feet south of the Front Royal Pike/Travel Lodge Drive
signalized intersection. Subsequent to final rezoning approval, the contract purchaser
proposes to construct an Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers facility that is approximately
4,850 square feet with 3 service bays and 3 oil change bays. Access to the subject property is
proposed to be developed with a right-in/right-out commercial entrance on Front Royal Pike
that is intended to be shared with the IHOP Restaurant; as well as an inter-parcel connection
with the IHOP restaurant that will allow for vehicles to access the existing traffic signal at the
Front Royal Pike/Travel Lodge Drive intersection to facilitate protected left traffic
movement.
Greenway Engineering has met with VDOT representatives to discuss the proposed right-
in/right-out commercial entrance and has been advised that VDOT does not object to this
access point. However, VDOT advised that the property owner will need to prepare and
submit an access management exception request as a component of the Site Plan before the
right-in/right-out commercial entrance can be approved for construction. Additionally,
Titans Corporation has an agreement with Lennox, LLC (IHOP Restaurant property owner)
that provides for an ingress/egress easement across Tax Map Parcel 64-A-2 that will allow
for vehicles to access the existing traffic signal at the Front Royal Pike/Travel Lodge Drive
intersection to facilitate protected left traffic movement. Greenway Engineering has prepared
an exhibit that identifies the proposed location of the right-in/right-out commercial entrance
and the approximate location of the ingress/egress easement through the Lennox, LLC
property as information with this request.
In order to assess the potential traffic impacts for the proposed Express Oil Change & Tire
Engineers facility, Greenway Engineering has analyzed the Frederick County Zoning
Ordinance to determine the highest and best land use within the B-2, Business General
District that is not otherwise permitted in the B-3, Industrial Transition District and has
determined that General Merchandise Stores (SIC 53) would be the appropriate land use to
compare to the proposed Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers facility (SIC 75).
Additionally, Greenway Engineering analyzed traffic study data from the Institute of Traffic
th
Engineers (ITE) Manual, 9 Edition specific to Shopping Center (820) and Quick
Lubrication Vehicle Shop (941). The following analysis compares traffic volumes for the
Weekday AM and PM Peak Hours, the Saturday Peak Hours, and the Sunday Peak Hours
assuming 4,850 square feet of Shopping Center (820) land use and 6 service bays of Quick
Lubrication Vehicle Shop (941) land use specific to the ITE traffic study data:
B-2, Business General Land Use
ITE (820) Weekday AM Peak: Q = 0.96 VPD per 1,000 square feet gross floor area
Q = 0.96 VPD x 4.85 (4,850 sq.ft./1,000 sq.ft.)
Q = 4.65 or 5 VPD
File #3484E Impact Analysis Statement/EAW
5
Greenway Engineering August 15, 2016 Express Oil & Tire Engineers Rezoning
ITE (820) Weekday PM Peak: Q = 3.71 VPD per 1,000 square feet gross floor area
Q = 3.71 VPD x 4.85 (4,850 sq.ft./1,000 sq.ft.)
Q = 17.99 or 18 VPD
ITE (820) Saturday Peak: Q = 4.82 VPD per 1,000 square feet gross floor area
Q = 4.82 VPD x 4.85 (4,850 sq.ft./1,000 sq.ft.)
Q = 23.37 or 24 VPD
ITE (820) Sunday Peak: Q = 3.12 VPD per 1,000 square feet gross floor area
Q = 3.12 VPD x 4.85 (4,850 sq.ft./1,000 sq.ft.)
Q = 15.13 or 16 VPD
B-3, Industrial Transition Land Use
ITE (941) Weekday AM Peak: Q = 3.0 VPD per service position
Q = 3.0 VPD x 6 service position
Q = 18 VPD
ITE (941) Weekday PM Peak: Q = 4.0 VPD per service position
Q = 4.0 VPD x 6 service position
Q = 24 VPD
ITE (941) Saturday Peak: Q = 7.0 VPD per service position
Q = 7.0 VPD x 6 service position
Q = 42 VPD
ITE (941) Sunday Peak: Q = 4.5 VPD per service position
Q = 4.5 VPD x 6 service position
Q = 27 VPD
The ITE projected traffic volumes identified above indicate that the proposed Express Oil
Change & Tire Engineers facility (941) has the potential to increase traffic volumes during
the weekday peak hours between 6-13 VPD and by approximately 11-18 VPD during the
weekend peak hours compared to the Shopping Center (820) land use. These calculations
demonstrate a fairly low increase in potential traffic volumes during these time frames
(approximately 0.75-1.75 VPD every 15 minutes during the weekday peak hours and
approximately 1.5-2.25 VPD every 15 minutes during the weekend peak hours). The
proposed Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers facility will result in a minor increase in
peak hour traffic volume that can be accommodated by the existing transportation
infrastructure. The proposed access management plan provides for safe and efficient ingress

Greenway Engineering August 15, 2016 Express Oil & Tire Engineers Rezoning
and egress for the subject site, which sufficiently mitigates impacts to the transportation
network for this rezoning request.
SEWAGE CONVEYANCE AND TREATMENT
The 0.604±-acre subject property is located within the Sewer and Water Service Area
(SWSA); therefore, the property is entitled to be served by public sewer based on County
Policy. The City of Winchester is the provider of public sewer service within this area of the
County, which is managed by the City of Winchester Public Services Department.
The City of Winchester has an existing 8-inch gravity sewer line that adjoins the western
boundary of the subject property within a 20-foot easement that is accessible to the property.
All commercial land uses on the west side of Front Royal Pike (US Route 522 South) within
proximity of the subject property convey sewer effluent through the 8-inch gravity sewer line
that goes under Interstate 81 to a manhole located on the Apple Blossom Mall parcel, which
s to the Opequon
Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Based on comparable discharge patterns, the City of Winchester Public Services Department
has determined that 75 gallons/day per 1,000 square feet of commercial development is an
appropriate calculation for estimating the sewer demand for commercial land uses.
Q = 75 gallons/day per 1,000 square feet commercial
Q = 75 GPD x 4.85 (4,850 sq.ft./1,000 sq.ft.)
Q = 363.75 GPD
TOTAL: Q = 365 GPD projected sewer demand
The Opequon Wastewater Treatment Facility has a total capacity of 12.6 MGD, of which
7.125 MGD is allocated to the City of Winchester. The City of Winchester currently
averages approximately 5.0 MGD of the allocated capacity and has approximately 2.125
MGD of allocated capacity available for future development projects. The projected 365
GPD for the proposed project represents 0.02% of available treatment capacity; therefore, the
proposed rezoning can be sufficiently accommodated by public sewer service through a
system with adequate conveyance, capacity and treatment.
WATER SUPPLY
The 0.604±-acre subject property is located within the Sewer and Water Service Area
(SWSA); therefore, the property is entitled to be served by public water based on County
Policy. The City of Winchester is the provider of public water service within this area of the
County, which is managed by the City of Winchester Public Services Department.
File #3484E Impact Analysis Statement/EAW

Greenway Engineering August 15, 2016 Express Oil & Tire Engineers Rezoning
The City of Winchester has an existing 12-inch water transmission located on the east side of
Front Royal Pike that provides public water service to the commercial land uses on the west
side of Front Royal Pike (US Route 522 South). An 8-inch water is looped off of the 12-inch
water transmission line that adjoins the western boundary of the subject property within a 20-
foot easement that is accessible to the property. Additionally, a 6-inch water line has been
installed on the subject property off of the 8-inch water line loop.
Based on comparable discharge patterns, the City of Winchester Public Services Department
has determined that 75 gallons/day per 1,000 square feet of commercial development is an
appropriate calculation for estimating the water demand for commercial land uses.
Q = 75 gallons/day per 1,000 square feet commercial
Q = 75 GPD x 4.85 (4,850 sq.ft./1,000 sq.ft.)
Q = 363.75 GPD
TOTAL: Q = 365 GPD projected water demand
The City of Winchester obtains potable water from the North Fork of the Shenandoah River,
which is treated at the Percy D. Miller Water Treatment Plant located near Middletown. The
Percy D. Miller Water Treatment Plant can treat approximately 10 MGD of potable water
daily, which is transmitted to serve all properties in the City of Winchester; as well as some
properties in Frederick County. The City has sufficient water capacity to serve these
properties; as well as sell excess capacity to the Frederick County Sanitation Authority to
supplement other water systems in Frederick County. Greenway Engineering met with the
City of Winchester Public Services Director to discuss the proposed development project and
was advised that the City has adequate capacity to serve this project and that the existing 8-
inch water loop provides adequate pressure and fire flow for all commercial land uses within
this portion of the County. Therefore, the proposed rezoning can be sufficiently
accommodated by public water service through a system with adequate conveyance,
capacity, pressure, and fire flow.
SITE DRAINAGE
The topographic relief on the 0.604±-acre subject property generally follows a southwestern
pattern, which directs drainage towards the rear of the property adjacent to the Cracker Barrel
site. Greenway Engineering prepared an ALTA Survey for the 0.604±-acre subject property,
which identifies a 20-foot drainage easement on the property that has been improved with a
drop inlet and storm sewer line that ties into the overall drainage system constructed during
the development of the Cracker Barrel site. This stormwater collection system conveys
stormwater to a regional stormwater management facility that was constructed during the
development of the Cracker Barrel site; therefore, development of the subject property will
utilize this regional facility.
File #3484E Impact Analysis Statement/EAW

Greenway Engineering August 15, 2016 Express Oil & Tire Engineers Rezoning
The 0.604±-acre subject property is exempt from local stormwater quality treatment
requirements due to the size of the parcel; therefore, there should be not stormwater
management quality measures to mitigate. Greenway Engineering will work with the County
Engineer during the Site Development Plan process to identify stormwater volumes from the
proposed development of the subject property to ensure that there are no detrimental impacts
to the regional stormwater management facility and to adjoining properties. The stormwater
management plan and erosion and sedimentation control plan will be designed in
conformance with all applicable state and local regulations; therefore, site drainage and
stormwater management impacts to adjoining properties and the community will be
mitigated.
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
The impact on solid waste disposal facilities associated with the development of the proposed
Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers facility on the 0.604± acre subject property can be
projected from an average annual commercial consumption of 5.4 cubic yards per 1,000
th
square feet of structural area (Civil Engineering Reference Manual, 4 edition). The
Applicant proposes to develop an Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers facility that is
approximately 4,850 square feet with 3 service bays and 3 oil change bays; therefore, solid
waste disposal impacts are based on the following figures that provide the increase in average
annual solid waste volume based on the development of this facility:
AAV = 5.4 cu. yd. per 1,000 sq. ft. commercial
AAV = 5.4 cu. yd. 4.85 (4,850 sq.ft./1,000 sq. ft.)
x
AAV = 26.19 cu. yd. at build-out, or 18.33 tons/yr. at build-out
The Municipal Solid Waste area of the Regional Landfill has a current remaining capacity of
13,100,000 cubic yards of air space. The projected commercial development will generate
approximately 18.33 tons of solid waste annually on average. This represents a 0.009%
increase in the annual solid waste received by the Municipal Solid Waste area of the
Regional Landfill, which currently averages 200,000 tons per year. Solid waste produced by
the commercial development will be disposed at the Regional Landfill by a commercial
waste hauler; therefore, the County will receive tipping fees associated with this land use to
mitigate this impact. The Regional Landfill has adequate capacity to accommodate the solid
waste impacts associated with this proposal.
HISTORICAL SITES AND STRUCTURES
The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey identifies the Garber Farm (#34-424) within
close proximity of the 0.604±-acre subject property. The Garber Farm was inventoried as
part of the overall report; however, the property was not recommended for inclusion on the
list of potentially significant properties in the final report. The Garber Farm has been
File #3484E Impact Analysis Statement/EAW
9
Greenway Engineering August 15, 2016 Express Oil & Tire Engineers Rezoning
subdivided into multiple properties, which are developed as commercial and residential land
uses along Garber Lane (Route 763), and as commercial land uses along Front Royal Pike
(US Route 522 South).
The National Park Service Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley identifies the
0.604±-acre subject property as being located within the First Winchester study area
boundary, and within close proximity of the First Winchester core battlefield area boundary.
The final report identifies all land within the study area boundary that is located in the
southeastern quadrant of Interstate 81 Exit 313 as having lost integrity due to the existing
commercial and residential land use development patterns; as well as the construction of
Interstate 81.
The development of commercial land use on the 0.604±-acre subject property is consistent
with other properties in this area of the County. The Senseny/Eastern Frederick Urban Area
Study does not identify this area of the County as historic or as developmentally sensitive
area. The proposed rezoning of the property will not create negative impacts associated with
historic properties and historic resources.
OTHER POTENTIAL IMPACTS
The commercial development of the 0.604±-acre subject property will provide new economic
development opportunities for Frederick County, which
Development Impact Model to be positive in the consideration of fiscal impacts to County
Capital Facilities. It is recognized that the development of commercial land use has the
potential to increase service demands on fire and rescue services; therefore,
Proffer Statement provides a monetary contribution of $0.10 per developed building square
foot to the County to provide additional revenues that are specifically directed to fire and
rescue services. There are no other identified potential impacts above those discussed in this
Impact Analysis Statement that would be detrimental to surrounding properties or to the
County from the rezoning and development of the 0.604±-acre subject property.

Planning & Zoning:
A) Master Development Plan Requirement
A Master Development Plan is required prior to development of this property. Before an MDP
can be approved, it must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, Board of Supervisors and all
relevant review agencies. Approval may only be granted if the MDP conforms to all
requirements of the Frederick County Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The purpose of the
MDP is to promote orderly and planned development of property within Frederick County that
suits the characteristics of the land, is harmonious with adjoining property and is in the best
interest of the general public.
B) Site History
The original Frederick County Zoning Map (U.S.G.S. Winchester Quadrangle) identifies this
MDP #01-17 Freedom Manor
February 24, 2017
Page 3
property as being zoned R-1 (Residential Limited). The parcels were re-mapped from R-1 to A-
Amendment Petition #011-80), which was adopted on October 8, 1980. T
agricultural zoning districts were subsequently combined to form the RA (Rural Areas) District
upon adoption of an amendment to the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 1989.
The corresponding revision of the zoning map resulted in the re-mapping of the subject property
and all other A-1 and A-2 zoned land to the RA District. Parcel 64-A-19 and a portion of parcel
64-A-20 were originally slated to be part of the Westwood Subdivision (Section B) and appear to
retain their R-1/RP zoning designation.
In 2002, Rezoning #07-02, Doris F. Casey, was submitted to the County for a request for the
development of 70 single-family detached residential lots on 30.31 acres with access being via
Route 522. At that time, the property had frontage on Route 522. Ultimately, the Board of
Supervisors denied Rezoning #07-02 on December 17, 2002. On August 20, 2003 a Minor Rural
Subdivision (Family Division) was approved creating the 26.87 acre parcel for PIN 64-A-23. On
September 14, 2005 the Board of Supervisors approved Rezoning #09-05 of Freedom Manor
which rezoned parcel 64-A-23 from the RA District to the RP District with proffers. This
rezoning was approved for 70 single-family dwellings on 26.87 acres of land.
In 2015, Rezoning #11-15, Freedom Manor, was submitted to the County to request rezoning of

The purpose of the MDP is to promote orderly and planned development of property within
MDP #03-17 Southern Hills Phase II
February 24, 2017
Page 3
Frederick County that suits the characteristics of the land, is harmonious with adjoining
property and is in the best interest of the general public.
B) Site History
On July 11, 2001, the Board of Supervisors approved Rezoning #01-01 to rezone 105 acres
from RA (Rural Areas) District to RP (Residential Performance) District to enable the
construction of 250 single-family residential lots. Frederick County administratively
approved MDP #09-03 on June 28, 2004 for the Southern Hills project which enabled the
subdivision of the project. The Phase I subdivision final plats for the creation of 95 single-
family residential lots was approved on June 16, 2006. Revised MDP #16-06 for Phase I
was approved in February 2007 for up to 88 single-family detached (SFD) and 232 single-
family attached (SFA) residential uses and commercial uses.
In 2016, Rezoning #11-16, Southern Hills Phase II, was submitted to the proffers
associated with Rezoning #22-06 for 40.36 acres (37.79 acres of Residential Performance
and 2.57 acres of General Business) Zoning Districts to allow for the construction of up to
130 single-family detached (SFD) units. This requested rezoning changed the housing type
mix to include only SFD units and decrease the total units by 102. The Board of
Supervisors approved Rezoning #11-16 on November 9, 2016.
C) Site Suitability & Project Scope
Comprehensive Plan:
The Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public document that
serves as the Community's guide for making decisions regarding development,
preservation, public facilities and other key components of community life. The primary
goal of this plan is to protect and improve the living environment within Frederick County.
It is in essence a composition of policies used to plan for the future physical development
of Frederick County.
Land Use Compatibility:
The South Frederick Area Plan of the Comprehensive Plan identifies this property with
residential and commercial land use designations. The current RP (Residential
Performance) and B2 (General Business) Districts zoning designations are supported by the
Comprehensive Plan.
The Master Development Plan for Phase II is generally consistent with the original Master
Development Plan in terms of area of development and limits of disturbance and the
approved proffers with the most recent Rezoning #11-16.
Phase II of the project will be developed in a manner that provides areas of open space
preservation and active recreational land uses consistent with the original Master
Development Plan. The Ewing Family Cemetery is incorporated into the design of the
MDP and access is provided consistent with the proffer addressing this feature. The
inclusion of the right-of-way dedication for the extension of Warrior Drive is located
correctly. Adjacent to the future right-of-way, the MDP provides for the appropriate
buffering, screening.
