Faith Power, Executive Director of the Laurel Center, said the Center serves victims of
domestic violence and thanked the Board for the financial support given in the past. She said the
Center served over 200 County residents last year,has served 89 so far this quarter, and that the
cost to house each client is$72.00 per day.
LaurenCummings of the Northern Shenandoah Valley Substance Abuse Coalitionthanked
the Board for its financial support. She highlighted some of the Coalition’s programs including the
Drug Court.
Deborah Laboy, Opequon District, said she is a Frederick County School Bus Driver and
thanked the Board for funding 30 new buses last year. She said there are still 28 buses needing
replacement and praised the maintenance staff who keep the fleet running.
Amada Feaster, Shawnee District, said she is a teacher at James Wood High Schooland
notedher building needs upgrades. She said she sees a trend of the Board welcoming new
businesses but not supporting the development with additional public safety and education
spending. She said the Board needs to start addressingthe salary gap to avoid losing teachers to
Loudoun County.
Kerry Mueller,Red Bud District, thanked Supervisor Slaughter for her suggestions for
funneling more money to school needs. She referenced the Core Values adopted by the Board of
Supervisors in 2009. She said the current proposed budget does not align with the Core Values
adding that requiring categorical funding of the schools would shortchange the students.
Joseph Neidrick, Red Bud District, said the County is growing but the budget decision-
makers are not. He said the County had the highest growth rate in Virginia in 2017, has added
30,000 people in 18 years, and all of this requires more schools and more resources. He said that
current real estate tax rate is not enough and that raising the rate would not injure those on a fixed
income.
Serena Omps, Stonewall District, said she is a County native and teacher at Millbrook High
School. She said adding 15 minutes to her commute would mean a salary increase of $25,000per
year. She said a slight tax increase will help the school system, and an increase of six or seven
cents would allow the County the flexibility to plan to address many issues, including schoolrelated
issues.
Dawn Spitzer, Gainesboro District,compared her earlier teaching experience in
Washington County, Maryland, to her current job as an eleventh grade English teacher at Millbrook
High School. She said the current number of students on her roster is unmanageable and
overwhelming and that additional teachers are needed. She said the schools’requested funding
is critically needed to address over-crowding and class-size issues.
Jeri Swogger, Gainesboro District, highlighted the number of available building lots in the
County noting that currently, about 700 residential building permits are requested each year. She
said the growth means more people who require more services. She said the Board cannot

celebrate economic and business growth without providing for the services and school funding
increases that are demanded because ofthat economic growth. She concluded saying it is
maddeningfor the schools to have unnecessary budget constraints during a time of economic
prosperity.
Jennifer Muldowney, Red Bud District, said as principal of Greenwood Mill Elementary
School she wished to thank the Sheriff’s office for adding two School Resource Officers and she
hopes additional Officers will be funded. She said the schools repeatedly face budget cuts for
needs and are losing veteran teachers.
Shaniqua Williams, Shawnee District, said she is president of the Frederick County
Education Association. She referenced the Superintendent’s budget request andasked the Board
to fund the currently proposedCounty budget including Supervisor Slaughter’s proposal which will
help the schools addresscritical needs.
John Lamanna, Stonewall District resident and Chairman of the School Board, thanked the
Board for recent dialog on the budget. He thanked Supervisor Slaughter for her work on the budget
proposal and asked the Board to support it. He noted that the current proposal does not fund
school salary increases at a rate comparable to those of non-school County employees. He noted
his concern that the Board may requirecategorical funding saying the Board currently receives a
quarterly financial report, and that further oversight of a separate elected board is not necessary.
He called for continued collaboration to meet the increasing needs of the school system.
John Wright, Red Bud District resident and president of the Frederick County Firefighters’
Association, spoke in favor of the current budget proposal. He noted the cuts in the number of
requested professional firefighter positions and said the Board must commit to a strategic plan to
phase in the recommendations of the recently completed fire and rescue study to address
continued safety needs in the community. He acknowledged the school officials in attendance and
asked the Board to work to maintain the high level of education in the County.
Terry Martin, Opequon District, said he retired from the military and became a teacher. He
referenced a story about being sent to war without being prepared and comparedit to asking the
schools to do their job without preparing them. He said Aylor Middle School is currently four staff
members short, and when the new Aylor building is opened, an addition will already be needed to
handle the student enrollment. He asked the Board to fully fund the Superintendent’s request.
Laura Jarrell, Opequon District, said she was speaking for the 25% of the County’s
population under the ageof 18. She said she has grave concerns about how the Board funds the
schools adding that school budget requests are not arbitrarysince they address critical needs. She
said Board decisions aimed at saving money will end up costing more citing the new Aylor Middle
School building which she said will likely be overcrowded before it opens.
Brian Nuri, Opequon District, noted a 20-year-old Washington Postarticle on growth that
statedthat Washington D.C. was coming to Frederick County.He said there are2000 housing units
already platted in the Stephens City area and that higher taxes are needed to pay for the required

services. He asked the Board to think about he future and address the needs that should have
been planned for 20 years ago.
Kristen Koontz, Red Bud District, said she is a teacher in Loudoun County. She said spoke
for all the children and asked the Board to at least keep the tax rate where it is rather than lower it.
Dr. David Sovine, Superintendent of Frederick County Public Schools and Shawnee
District resident, thanked those who spoke in favor of more funding for the schools. He thanked
Supervisor McCann-Slaughter for her proposal for additional school funding saying it is an
incremental step in providing sufficient funding, and he asked the Board to support the proposal.
He said wise and forward-thinking communities invest in their youth, and herespectfully requested
the Board to invest in the schools.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.

for April 2, 2019. He thanked the attendees and speakers for participating in the meeting.
Supervisor Dunn thanked the meeting attendees. He noted the recent Countygrowth and
said there needsto be a change in how money is raised, adding that taxes have been increased
recently. He discussed impact fees and proffer law revision.
Supervisor Trout said there had been 21 individuals speaking in favor of a tax increase to
fund schools. She referenced tax rates in surrounding localities. She said it is not too late to raise
the tax rate this year and asked the Board to consider raising the rate this year. Supervisor Trout
saidthe budget process does not allow for citizen input early in the budget preparation and she
would like to see theprocess revised.

Route 522 South with a new bridge over Interstate 81. The project will begin construction in
May and the project should be completed September 2021.
We are finishing up the bid package for the building addition at
Boyd Animal Shelter. As a reminder, over the last two years the animal shelter has received
several large donations. It was recommended by the Public Works
Supervisors to build a training center at the shelter using the donated funds. We have been
working on a building design for the past year and we are almost ready to go to bid. We plan
to advertise the project for bid in April with bids due in May.

Frederick County Board of Supervisors
FROM:
Candice E. Perkins, AICP, CZA, Assistant Director
RE: Brucetown Road Area Amendment (CPPA #02-18 Carter)
DATE:
March 29, 2019
This is a draft amendment to the Northeast Land Use Plan of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. This
request is presented to the Board of Supervisors as a discussion item; Staff is seeking direction
from the Board of Supervisors as to whether this item is ready to be sent to public hearing.
Proposal & Background
At the Board of Supervisors September 12, 2018 meeting, the Board directed Staff to undertake a
Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) expansion and land use designation associated with
Comprehensive Plan Amendment #02-18 for the Carter Tract. This amendment proposes to add
109 acres into the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and remove 109 acres from the SWSA.
This amendment also seeks to designate the 109 acres for industrial land uses.
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC) discussed this amendment at their
October and November 2018 meetings. The CPPC endorsed draft text and map for the Brucetown
Area Amendment at their November 2018 meeting. This amendment was discussed by the
Planning Commission on December 5, 2018. At that meeting the Planning Commission expressed
concern with the amendment and sent the proposal back to the CPPC for further review.
Specifically, the Planning Commission requested more detail on the transportation components of
the amendment and further review of the SWSA limits proposed.
The CPPC discussed the amendment at their February 2019 meeting. The Committee reviewed
revised text for the proposal that sought to address the concerns of the Planning Commission; a
revised map was also presented. The Committee agreed with the changes with amendments to the

MENDMENT
Proposed language:
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC), at their
2018 meetings and their February 2019 meeting discussed the requested Carter Tract
Amendment (CPPA #02-18). This CPPA request removes comparable acres of land from the
SWSA from the existing zoned extractive manufacturing area to allo109
acres of land. In determining the scope of the request, the CPP
in determining if an area could best support a sewer and water service area expansion and
an industrial land use designation. The SWSA boundary adjustment enables industrial land
uses which could utilize public water and sewer, improve the transportation infrastructure in
support of increased vehicular traffic and provide economic opportunities.
The scope of the review considered the following:
Review of the broader area to identify areas most appropriate fo
and industrial land use designation.
Distance to the existing SWSA boundary.
Proximity to the existing extractive manufacturing operation.
Access to and from the Brucetown Road area including the overall transportation
network including key intersections on Martinsburg Pike.
Revisions to the SWSA, including the removal of land from the existing SWSA to allow
for the addition of comparable acreage into the SWSA.
Avoiding conflict with the residential uses of the Brucetown Rural Commun.
The SWSA should remain south of Slate Run with a buffer along the Rural Community
Center. This enables the land use north of Slate Run to remain agricu
future industrial uses from the residential uses in the Brucetown Rural Community
Center.
The study which resulted from the discussion of CPPA #02-18 ultimately recommended that
the following amendment be incorporated into the Northeast Land
The area southeast of Exit 321, Interstate 81, Hopewell Road, and south of Brucetow
is comprised mainly of extractive manufacturing, rural residential and agricultural land uses.

Candice E. Perkins, AICP, CZA, Assistant Director
RE: Blackburn Property Workforce Housing (CPPA #01-19)
DATE:
March 29, 2019
This is a draft amendment to the Kernstown Area Plan of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. This
request is presented to the Board of Supervisors as a discussion item. Staff is seeking direction
from the Board of Supervisors as to whether this item is ready to be sent forward for public hearing.
Proposal & Background
At the Board of Supervisors December 12, 2018 meeting, the Board directed Staff to undertake an
Urban Development Area (UDA) expansion and land use designation change associated with
Comprehensive Plan Amendment #01-19 for Blackburn Property Workforce Housing.
This amendment requested by the Applicant proposes to add 71.849-acres to the UDA. This
amendment also seeks to designate the 71-acres for workforce housing. The Kernstown Area Plan
currently designates the property for industrial land use. The Applicant is requesting the UDA
expansion and land use designation change to allow for the development of workforce housing
that would provide affordable housing opportunities for residents of the community located within
reasonable proximity of workplaces in the community.
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC) discussed this amendment at their
February 2019 meeting. The CPPC recognized that workforce housing was needed in the County
but expressed concern with the area this was proposed for. The CPPC further stated that there are
areas currently designated for residential development where this use could potentially locate. The
subject site is currently designated for industrial development and the CPPC expressed concern
over losing potential industrial land for residential uses. The CPPC stated that industrial was the
best use for this site and recommended denial of this comprehensive plan amendment.
The Planning Commission discussed this item at their March 6, 2019 meeting. The Commission
agreed with the concerns expressed by the CPPC and did not support the loss of planned industrial
land for the construction of residential units. The Planning Commission sent this item forward to
the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for denial.

The Kernstown Area Plan study area is generally located along Route 11, south
of the City of Winchester and north of the Town of Stephens City
I-81. The Kernstown Area Plan builds on the Route 11 South Corridor Plan,
and the balance of the Southern Frederick Plan which was adopted in 1998, by
incorporating the western portion of this plan into the Kernstown Area Plan.
A series of maps have been prepared which identify Future Land U
Transportation, and Natural, Historical, and Community Facilities within the
study area.
Within this plan, the Shady Elm Road area continues its economic development
emphasis, the Route 11 corridor seeks to capitalize on Interstat
opportunities, the industrial land uses north of Route 37 and ea

with the City of Winchester to the north and the Town of Stephens City to the
south.
The Kernstown Area Plan promotes a new area s of new land use focus; the
Kernstown Neighborhood Village in the Creekside area, along the

Defined Rural Areas
The Kernstown Area Plan has sought to further define the boundary between

Kernstown Battlefield and Bartonsville Sensitive Natural Areas
()
A historic district designation or use of conservation easements is
recommended for the portion of the Grim Farm, site of the Kernst
Battlefield owned by the Kernstown Battlefield Association (KBA)
in the County. This designation is intended to recognize the preservation of
the core area of the Kernstown Battlefield. County regulations
the formation of a historic district must be accomplished throug
of the land owner. The County continues to support the Kernstown Battlefield
Associations efforts in preserving and promoting this tremendous County
resource.
A similar designation should be pursued, in conjunction with pro
in the Bartonsville area.In addition to its historical significance, much of the
Bartonsville area is also within the 100 year floodplain and wou
otherwise limited in terms of development potential. In Bartonsville, the
rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, or restoration of historic strucres should be
encouraged. Future development applications that have historic r

portion of the corridor. The bigger of the two is a commercial r
use known as Appleland. General commercial land uses are envisioned in this
area in the future.
As noted, the Route 11 South corridor, in the area in and around

envisioned when this section of Route 11 South becomes four lane
locating within this section of the corridor would be expected to have no direct
access to Route 11 South, but rather would access a proposed eas-west
connector road which in turn would intersect Route 11 South.
Valley Pike Trail
For the Kernstown Area Plan, it is recommended that a new multi-purpose path
be constructed along the length of Valley Pike through the study area
connecting areas of land use, in particular those resources identified as

Residential Development
The only area of urban Residential development has been identified is located
within the Urban Development Area in the location identified as
Creekside Neighborhood Village and the location identified as the Apple
Valley Workforce Housing Area. New residential uses should complement
the existing residential uses and should be generally of a higher residential
density.
Areas within the Kernstown Creekside Neighborhood Village and should
include a neighborhood commercial component as described in the
Creekside Neighborhood Village Land Use. It will be very important to mix

In this area, In the Kernstown Creekside Neighborhood Village slightly
higher residential densities that may fall within the 6-12 units per acre range
are envisioned (this is generally attached houses and may also include

Workforce Housing Area, residential densities are envisioned to be no
more than 4 units per acre and should include single family detached
housing units. This land use is intended to accommodate households
that average 60% of the median household income of the County.
These densities are necessary to accommodate the anticipated gro
County within the urban areas and are consistent with establishe
within the study area and the densities needed to support the future residential
land uses envisioned in the Plan.

The residential land uses west of Shady Elm Road and Rout 37 within the study
area are envisioned to remain rural area residential in character. Shady Elm
Road south and Route 37 may generally be considered as the boundary
between the urban areas and rural areas within the western part of this study
area. This provides a transition area to the Opequon Creek and to the well-
established rural character of the Middle Road and Springdale Road area.
Business Development
The Plan identifies a prime area for industrial land uses, the Shady Elm
Economic Development Area, to capitalize on future industrial and commercial
employment opportunities. Existing areas of industrial development are
recognized with additional development promoted. Regional commercial
development opportunities are reinforced in the Kernstown Inters
commercial area. In addition, an area is identified for neighborhood village
commercial use, including retail, to accommodate existing residential
communities and to build upon the successful Creekside commercial project.
The improvements to the Exit 310 Interchange on interstate 81 at Route 37
furthers the significant commercial opportunities that the Plan seeks to take
advantage of by identifying the Kernstown Interstate Commercial @ 310 area
of land use. Future improvements identified for this area are envisioned to

growth of the community in the right locations. This area is al
influenced by the ongoing and future improvements to Route 11 South, Shady

collector roads, and inter-parcel connections to bring traffic to access points is
promoted.
The context of the collector road network is proposed to be diff
focus being placed on a thoroughfare design that is accessible to all users and
a more walkable environment. Particular attention should be paid to street
network within the Kernstown Creekside Neighborhood Village Area to ensure
that is highly walkable. The change in context in this specific location is to
ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses and community goals
surrounding land use, site design, and building design are featu
help create context and promote the improvement of this area as a focal point
and as a place with more distinct character. Attention should be provided to
the context of the street in the Neighborhood Village Commercial
ensure that these prominent locations are safe and accessible to
transportation. Bicycle and pedestrian accommodations should be fully
integrated to achieve a transportation network that is open to all users.
Appropriately designed intersection accommodations should includ
refuge islands and pedestrian actualized signals.
In general, the road south of Apple Valley Road will provide for a more
functional street open to all users. North of Apple Valley Road, Route 11 will
have a more urban scale with a character that builds upon the archite
established in the existing Creekside area.
Special attention should be paid to ensure the transportation considerations of
the Town of Stephens City to the south and the City of Winchester to the north
are fully coordinated.
In addition, transportation improvements in the Kernstown Battlefield area and
the Bartonsville area should include taking a proactive approach in creating
safe interconnected routes to the battlefield park from the adja
creating additional access points. Traffic calming across the e
Kernstown Creekside Neighborhood Village is warranted with special attenti
placed on providing a safe and efficient access to this mixed us
community.
Kernstown Area Plan 83
AI-AP
PPENDIX REA LANS
Consistent application of Comprehensive Plan goals to achieve an
level of service on area roads and overall transportation network, level of
service C or better, should be promoted. Further, efforts shoul
ensure that additional degradation of the transportation beyond
level of service shall be avoided. Consideration of future development
applications within the study area should only occur when an acc
of service has been achieved and key elements and connections id
this plan have been provided.
Further in depth study should occur in the future regarding the preferred
alignment of the road connections in the area immediately south
to the Bartonsville area. Consideration should be given to ensur
road network functions adequately and is sensitive to the many chat
exist in that general area.
Community Facilities
The need for public spaces within the study area needs to be acknowledged.
Opportunities for small public spaces within the Kernstown Creek
Neighborhood Village should be pursued.
The public facility element of the Kernstown Area plan should directly correlate
to the Public Facilities chapter of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. The public
facilities element should also expand upon the existing 2035 Comprehensive
Plan and ensure that opportunities for needed public facilities,
currently identified, are not missed. The development community should work
with FCPS, Fire & Rescue, and Parks and Recreation to determine
facility needs.
With regards to Public Utilities, Frederick Water and the County should continue
to ensure the availability of adequate water resources in conjunction with the
future land uses identified in Area Plans and future development
capacities of water and sewer treatment facilities and projected
future land uses, and provide opportunities for expansion of wat and sewage
treatment facilities.

SECTION 2 FOR A TEXT AMENDMENT
The inclusion of the Shady Elm Workforce Housing Area as a new land use designation within the
Kernstown Area Plan could potentially warrant a Text Amendment for consideration by the
County. The following information has been provided specific to the Shady Elm Workforce
Housing Area to identify potential text amendments that may be appropriate:
Note: Strike-thru text to be eliminated and Red Font text to be incorporated
Kernstown Area Plan Section (Page 76)
The Kernstown Area Plan promotes a new area new areas of new land use focus; the Kernstown
Neighborhood Village in the Creekside area, along the west side of Route 11, and the Shady Elm
Workforce Housing Area, along the southwest side of Route 652 near the intersection with Route
628. This area The Kernstown Neighborhood Village should promote an attractive street presence
along the frontage of Route 11 and reaffirm Kernstown as a distinct community, blending the old
with the new, and building on the successful developments that have occurred in this area of the
County. The Shady Elm Workforce Housing Area is intended to provide affordable quality
residential housing that is located within
Shady Elm Workforce Housing Area should promote quality housing design that is
complementary to existing residential uses in the Kernstown Area Plan, and is limited in height to
minimize visual impacts to the Kernstown Battlefield viewshed along Route 652.
Shady Elm Economic Development and Workforce Housing Area (Page 77)
The Shady Elm Economic Development and Workforce Housing Area is designed to be a
significant area of industrial, and commercial and workforce housing opportunity that is fully
intent of the industrial and workforce housing
commercial and industrial areas, and
centers, and to provide affordable quality housing for the
required to support identified employment areas. In specific areas a mix of flexible uses, with
Project #0036E/CPPA Amendment 4 January 9, 2019
office uses in prominent locations and workforce housing in appropriate locations is encouraged.
Such areas are supported by substantial areas of industrial and commercial opportunity, and
provide for areas that are well designed with high quality architecture and site design. It is the
intent of such areas to promote a strong positive community image.
Residential Development (Page 81)
The only area Areas of urban residential development is are located within the Urban Development
Area in the location identified as the Kernstown Creekside Neighborhood Village, and in the
location identified as the Shady Elm Workforce Housing Area. New residential uses should
complement the existing residential uses, and should be generally of a higher density. and should
include Additionally, a neighborhood commercial component should be included as described in
the Kernstown Creekside Neighborhood Village Land Use. It will be very important to mix
residential development in this area the Kernstown Creekside Neighborhood Village with the right
balance of commercial uses.
In this area the Kernstown Creekside Neighborhood Village, slightly higher residential densities
that may fall within the 6-12 units per acre range are envisioned (this is generally attached houses
and may also include multifamily and a mix of other housing types). In the Shady Elm Workforce
Housing Area, residential densities are envisioned to fall within the 4-6 units per acre range (this
is generally detached and attached houses but does not include multifamily).
These densities are necessary to accommodate the anticipated growth of the County within the
urban areas and are consistent with established patterns within the study area and the densities
needed to support the future residential land uses envisioned in the Plan.
The residential land uses west of Shady Elm Road Route 37 West within the study area are
envisioned to remain rural area residential in character. Shady Elm Road south Route 37 West
may generally be considered as the boundary between the urban areas and rural areas within the
western part of this study area. This provides a transition area to the Opequon Creek and to the
well-established rural character of the Middle Road and Springdale Road area.
SECTION 3 FOR ALL AMENDMENTS - TO BE COMPLETED 7/9/18
Justification of Proposed Comprehensive Policy Plan Amendment (Provide Attachments if
Necessary). Describe why the Change to the Comprehensive Policy Plan is Being Proposed:
The Blackburn Property Workforce Housing Comprehensive Plan Amendment is proposed to
allow for the development of workforce housing that provides affordable quality housing
opportunities for residents of the community. Workforce housing has been identified as a need in
the community by the Economic Development Authority and the regional Affordable Housing
Coalition in support of economic development land uses by providing housing opportunities for
workers that are needed to meet the labor demands for local industrial, commercial, and public
sector land uses. The 71.849-acre subject parcel is located within reasonable proximity of
industrial, commercial, and public sector workplaces in the community; as well as within close
Project #0036E/CPPA Amendment 5 January 9, 2019
proximity to major transportation routes. Therefore, the location of the subject property would be
appropriate for a workforce housing development.
The U.S. Census Bureau identifies Frederick County has having a median household income of
$68,929 and having a median housing unit value of $231,400. Workforce housing provides an
affordable housing option for qualifying families that average 60% of the local median household
income. This in turn provides an opportunity for workers to reside in the community in which
they work and not have to commute from other areas that offer more affordable housing.
The Blackburn Property Workforce Housing Comprehensive Plan Amendment will incorporate
the subject parcel into the Urban Development Area and provide the subject property with a
Workforce Housing Area land use designation. These policy revisions will allow for the property
owner to work with the County to create appropriate ordinance standards and conditionally rezone
the subject property to develop a workforce housing project. The workforce housing project as
envisioned will provide 200 single-family detached residences that are single story structures and
are served by a complete system of private streets.
These factors support and justify the Blackburn Property Workforce Housing Comprehensive Plan
Amendment.
How would the Resultant Changes Impact or Benefit Frederick County? Consider, for
example, Transportation, Economic Development and Public Facilities:
The Blackburn Property Workforce Housing Comprehensive Plan Amendment is proposed to
provide affordable quality residential housing opportunities for residents of the community. The
71.849-acre subject parcel and
major transportation routes. The impacts and benefits to Frederick County are identified specific
to the proposed 200 single family unit project that would be developed subsequent to Board of
Supervisor approvals of the Comprehensive Policy Plan Amendment, the RP District Housing
Zoning Ordinance Amendment, and the Proffered Rezoning Amendment.
Transportation
The following tables provide projected traffic impacts comparisons of the traffic generation rates
specific to the proposed 200 single family unit workforce housing project and 938,800 SF of light
industrial development (0.3 FAR) consistent with the current future land use designation in the
Kernstown Land Use Plan. The values used from this comparison were obtained from the Institute
th
of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9 Edition, which is the source currently
utilized by VDOT and Frederick County for transportation impact analysis.

The 71.849-acre subject parcel has approximately 3,000 feet of frontage along Apple Valley Road
(Route 652). The Eastern Frederick County Road Plan identifies Apple Valley Road as an
Improved Minor Collector Road between Shady Elm Road (Route 651) and Middle Road (Route
628). The -of-way from the centerline of
Apple Valley Road along the entire property frontage to accommodate future right-of-way needs
as evident by Instrument No. 150004355.
Project #0036E/CPPA Amendment 7 January 9, 2019
Economic Development
The proposed 200 single family unit workforce housing project is not an economic development
project that provides revenue to Frederick County other that real estate and personal property taxes
that would be assessed specific to each household. However, the workforce housing project does
compliment economic development land use by providing housing opportunities within the
community for workers that are needed to meet the labor demands for local industrial, commercial,
and public sector land uses. The need for workforce housing projects in the community has been
identified by the Economic Development Authority and the regional Affordable Housing
Coalition.
Water and Sewer Capacities
The proposed 200 single family unit workforce housing project is located within the Sewer and
Water Service Area (SWSA) and will be located within the Urban Development Area (UDA)
subsequent to Board of Supervisor approval of Comprehensive Policy Plan Amendment.
Greenway Engineering has analyzed the water and sewer capacity requirements for the 200 single
family unit workforce housing project and has determined that an average daily demand of 60,000
GPD will be required for water and sewer service. The subject property has direct access to a 10-
inch water line located along the property frontage and is within close proximity to a gravity sewer
system that directs effluent to the 15-inch Hogue Run sewer interceptor to the Parkins Mill
Wastewater Treatment Facility. Frederick Water is the public water and sewer service provider
for the subject property and the proposed project is anticipated to not negatively impactpublic
water and sewer facilities or capacities.
Public Schools
The proposed 200 single family unit workforce housing project will generate school age children
that will create an impact to Frederick County Public Schools. The Frederick County Public
Schools students/household calculation indicates that there will be an average of 0.39 school age
children per household. The following table identifies the school age children impacts specific to
the proposed 200 single family unit workforce housing project.
Public School Projections
School Name Students/Household Projected Students Number
Orchard View Elementary School 0.19 Students/Household 38 Students
James Wood Middle School 0.09 Students/Household 18 Students
Sherando High School 0.11 Students/Household 22 Students
Totals: 0.39 Students/Household 78 Total Students
Project #0036E/CPPA Amendment 8 January 9, 2019
The proposed 200 single family unit workforce housing project will require approval of a Rezoning
by the Board of Supervisors. Therefore, impacts to Public School Services will be determined
Proffer Statement as a
conditional of rezoning approval.
Fire and Rescue
The proposed 200 single family unit workforce housing project will create an impact to Fire and
Rescue Services provided by the County. The Stephens City Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
is the first responder, which is located approximately 4.5 miles from to the subject property. The
proposed 200 single family unit workforce housing project is projected to house 524 persons based
on a 2.62 persons/household calculation derived from the 2017/2018 Frederick County Budget
Document. Impacts to Emergency Services will be determined during the rezoning process and
g approval.
Parks and Recreation
The proposed 200 single family unit workforce housing project will create an impact to Frederick
County Parks and Recreation Services provided by the County. Impacts to Parks and Recreation
Services will be determined
Proffer Statement as a conditional of rezoning approval.
