Planning & Zoning:
1)Site History
The original Frederick County Zoning map (USGS Winchester Quadrangle) depicts the zoning
for the five parcels which comprise the proposed rezoning as R2 (Residential Limited) District.
On February 14, 1990, the R2 District zoning classification was modified to RP (Residential
Performance), during the comprehensive amendment to the County
2)Comprehensive Plan
The 2035 Comprehensive Plan is the guide for the future growth of Frederick County.
The 2035 Comprehensive 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.
The Area Plans, Appendix I of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan, are the primary implementation
tool and will be instrumental to the future planning efforts of the County.
Land Use
The Property is currently designated in the Senseny/Eastern Frederick Urban Area Plan of the
2035 Comprehensive Plan for institutional land use with environmental resources. While the
current land use plan designation is inconsistent with the current RP Zoning, the Applicant is
seeking an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to designate this property as Urban Center.
The Comprehensive Plan Amendment is being processed concurrent with this proposed
rezoning.
4) Proffer Statement
Dated August 8, 2018:

PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY AND ACTION FROM THE 08/15/18 MEETING:
Staff provided an overview of the requested rezoning; Staff noted that while the current designation is
inconsistent with the land use plan, the Applicant is also seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to
change the designation from institutional to urban center. Ms. Perkins explained, with this rezoning the
Applicant has proffered:
Development on the Property shall be limited to a Church, and to Housing for Older Persons as
that term is defined in 42 USC § 3607(b)(2) and regulations issued thereunder, and any
applicable state law or local ordinance; and provided further that as to 100% of the housing
units, each unit shall be rented or sold such that at least one resident in each unit is a person at
least age 55 or over.
Staff concluded, the agenda item following this rezoning addresses the request to change the
designation from institutional to urban center; this rezoning request seeks to address the Planning
Amendment request, specifically the
limitation of the property to older person residential units.
Mr. Evan Wyatt, of Greenway Engineering, representing the Applicant reported, at the last Planning
Commission meeting the concern was heard to try and control the land use through a private covenant;
the response to that is a proffer being presented that accomplishes that. Commission Member Oates
commented he is supportive of this request and it now becomes a clean project.
A motion was made, seconded, and unanimously passed to recommend approval of REZ #02-18 St.
Paul on the Hill.
(Note: Commissioner Molden and Commissioner Thomas were absent from the meeting.)
