Ti y, Frederick County Administrator Res #044-20 'f ' COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development � 5401665-5651 Fax: 5401665-6395 MEMORANDUM TO: Frederick County Board of Supervisors FROM: Candice E. Perkins,AICP,CZA, Assistant Director G RE: Public Hearing-Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan(NELUP) Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA)Boundary Review DATE: October 22,2020 This is a public hearing for proposed adjustments to the boundary of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) for the Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan(NELUP). This SWSA boundary review focused on: overall NELUP SWSA boundary, areas with planned land uses outside the SWSA, and SWSA boundaries that do not follow property lines. Text is also proposed for inclusion in the NELUP narrative in Appendix I(this text is also included with the public hearing for the Waverly Farm SWSA expansion request). This SWSA boundary study was coordinated with Frederick Water to ensure that any area recommended for potential inclusion could be served by public water and sewer by existing or planned future constructed infrastructure. With this amendment,the following adjustments are proposed(net increase of 335.43 acres): • Removal of 68-7.97-acresfrom the SWSA (identifiedfor future planned extractive mining land uses) • Addition of 1,017.40-acres to the SWSA. These land areas are identified for future planned business and industrial land uses. The following areas are proposed for SWSA adjustments: • Expansion: West oft--81, south of the West Virginia line, north and south of Rest Church Rd. • Expansion:East ofl-81, south of the West Virginia line, east of Woodside Rd, north and south of Grace Church Rd. • Expansion:Properties associated with Waverly Farm CPPA #01-20 • Reduction: East of Martinsburg Pike and north and south of Brucetown Rd. SWSA Adjustment for Additional Areas: At the October 14, 2020 Board of Supervisors meeting, two additional areas were directed to be sent forward for public hearing. The first area is located west of Interstate 81 and is adjacent to the VDOT rest area and the second area is located west of I-81,north of Cedar Hill Road. These additions would increase the proposed SWSA expansion by approximately 308 acres. The additions will necessitate the acreage being scheduled for a separate public hearing with the Planning Commission on November 4, 2020 and the Board of Supervisors on November 12, 2020. Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan(NELUP) SWSA Boundary Adjustments October 22, 2020 Page 2 Staff Conclusion: The Planning Commission held a public hearing for this amendment at their meeting on October 21, 2020; the Commission recommended approval of the SWSA adjustments proposed and the NELUP text (also proposed with the Waverly Amendment). This amendment is presented to the Board of Supervisors for public hearing. Staff is seeking a decision from the Board of Supervisors on the following SWSA adjustments: • Removal of 681.97-acres frau the SWSA. These land areas are identifiled for future planned extractive mining land uses. • Addition of 1,017 40-acres to the SWSA. These land areas are ideated for future planned business and industrial land uses. These additions were previously unsuccessful requested Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPPAs). • Net change results in 335.43-acre addition to the SWSA. Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan (NELUP)—SWSA Boundary Study Discussion History: CPPC Recommendation.—July 2020: The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC) discussed the Waverly CPPA request their July 13, 2020 meeting. The comments provided by Frederick Water were also discussed. Frederick Water indicated that the water and sewer planning efforts in the northeastern area of Frederick County had evolved since this area was last evaluated by the CPPC in 2019.While water infrastructure is being developed in support of future land uses in the Northeast,sewer will not be readily available in this area soon. In addition to the Waverly Farm study, the Committee also supported a future larger land use study of the entire Northeast Land Use Plan (NELUP)that reexamines land use,transportation, and utility availability. Joint Work Session,—August 12, 2020: The Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission held a joint work session on August 12,2020 and discussed the requested Waverly SWSA expansion request. The consensus reached following the discussion is that the Waverly Farm request and a SWSA study (boundary, capacity,property lines) be studied separately but following a simultaneous timeline. Frederick Water Recommendations - Since the August work session, Frederick Water worked to analyze the SWSA and their ability to serve areas currently shown in the NELUP with a future planned land that are outside of the SWSA boundary. These areas,while designated with a future land use,are outside the limits of the SWSA and therefore do not have the ability to connect to public water and sewer if available. With the SWSA boundary review, Frederick Water did focus on including areas that had previously requested to be included in the SWSA with a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPPA). The Frederick Water Board of Directors adopted their"Recommended SWSA Revisions in the Route 11 North Corridor"on September 15,2020. Their recommended SWSA revisions are: It is recommended that the SWSA houndaay be adjusted to remove some areas from the SWSA when planned land uses clearly would not require Frederick Water's water and sanitary sewer services, and Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan(NELUP) SWSA Boundary Adjustments October 22, 2020 Page 3 the addition of areas when planned land uses would require Frederick Water's water and sanitary sewer services. The recommendations also emphasize that private investment in sewer conveyance and treatment will be necessary to achieve the future planned land uses identified in the County's 2035 Comprehensive Plan's NELUP. The private investment may befacilitated via Grant-in-Aid agreements similar to that utilized to bring sanitary sewer to this area of the County in early 2000;private upfront investment for 15 year capacity reservations and perpetual sewer availability fee credits equal to the property owner's initial investment value. 1) SWSA revisions a) Removal of 681.97-acres from the SWSA. These land areas are identified for fixture planned extractive mining land uses. b) Addition of 1,017.40-acres to the SWSA. These land areas are identified for future planned business and industrial land uses. These recommended SWSA-additions were previously unsuccessful property owner initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPPAs). c) Net change results in 335.43-acre addition to the SWSA. 2) Sewer Conveyance Improvements (0-10 years) a) Add SCADA to all pump stations serving the NELUP area. Estimated at $20,400 per pump station. b) Upgrade the VDOT sanitary sewer pump station to accommodate 2.250MGD flows. Estimated at$2,100,000. c) Upgrade forcemain downstream of VDOT pump station past Rutherford Crossing shopping center. Estimated at$2,000 000. d) Upgrade the Stephenson Regional sanitary sewer pump station. This upgrade should increase the capacity of the pump station to its previously designed maximum flow rate. Estimated at$300,000. 3) Wastewater Treatment capacity expansion (10-20 years) a) Expand DWRF or construction a new wastewater treatment plant in NELUP to increase treatment capacity. Size the additional treatment capacity at 6 MGD,possibly an initial phase of 2 MGD. Estimated at$50,000,000 CPPC Discussion—September 2020: The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC) discussed the NELUP SWSA proposed adjustments at their September 14, 2020 meeting. The Committee discussed each of the Frederick Water proposed areas and the two areas outside of the expansion proposal. The Committee recommended approval of the additions and reductions endorsed by Frederick Water. The Committee did not support the inclusion of the two areas that were not included in Frederick Water's recommended adjustment areas. The Committee recommended that these areas remain outside the SWSA and any future requests should seek a future Comprehensive Plan Amendment(CPPA). Planning Commission Discussion: The Planning Commission discussed this item at their meeting on October 7, 2020. During the meeting, the Commission discussed the 335-acres shown as the net increase and questioned if that would be the real impact. It was discussed whether the actual SWSA increase would be the total 1,017-acres, even with the 681-acre removal since this area would not Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan (NELUP) SWSA Boundary Adjustments October 22, 2020 Page 4 necessarily need public water and sewer. It was noted that Frederick Water has utilized the area proposed for removal in the past for capacity planning since it had a planned land use and was within the SWSA. Removing this area from the SWSA would increase the ability to plan for services in other areas. The Commission also stated that the areas shown with this adjustment have already been planned and identified for future development;this is not expanding the developable area of the County as these areas were anticipated with past NELUP efforts. This study is allowing the County to right size the SWSA with input from Frederick Water, it helps align infrastructure and land use planning. The Commission acknowledged that this coordinated study is a great step to plan for future land uses and the infrastructure needed to implement it. Ultimately, the Commission endorsed the SWSA adjustments and NELUP text as presented and forwarded the item to the Board of Supervisors for discussion. Board of Supervisors Discussion: The Board of Supervisors discussed this item at their meeting on Octoberl4, 2020. The Board of Supervisors sent the NELUP SWSA adjustments forward for public hearing with the inclusion of the two areas with planned industrial land uses which were originally excluded from the expansion area of the SWSA(additional 308-acres). Planning Commission Public Hearing: The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the SWSA boundary adjustments at their meeting on October 21, 2020; there were no public comments and the Commission recommended approval of the SWSA adjustments and the proposed NELUP text. Staff Conclusion: This amendment is presented to the Board of Supervisors for public hearing. Staff is seeking a decision from the Board of Supervisors on the following SWSA adjustments: • Removal of 681.97-acres from the SWSA. These land areas are identified for future planned extractive mining land uses. • Addition of 1,017.40-acres to the SWSA. These land areas are identified for future planned business and industrial land uses. • Net change results in 335.43-acre addition to the SWSA.

Future planned land uses shown on the Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan Map recognize the importance of planning for the County's economic development goals by designating sufficient areas for future commercial and industrial uses. Including these planned areas within the boundary of the SWSA is key to ensuring they are recognized for their future development potential as well as their inclusion in infrastructure planning. The 2020 SWSA study reviewed the boundary limits for areas with adopted future planned land uses that are intended to further economic development goals and expanded the SWSA to include these key areas. The study also reduced the SWSA boundary for areas with a planned land use that support economic development but do not require public water and sewer. This SWSA boundary review also recognizes that Frederick Water has identified significant sanitary sewer infrastructure improvements that will be necessary to increase conveyance and treatment capacities to meet the demands of new development. While some improvements could be addressed on a case-by-case approach, other larger improvements may be necessary which will require significant investments. Participation and coordination by multiple property owners for infrastructure financing should be considered to address the more significant conveyance and treatment needs. More importantly, future rezoning applications in this area must adequality address any infrastructure needs and impacts. Properly sized and constructed sanitary sewer infrastructure improvements must be in place and operational to facilitate future development proposals. FREDERICK WATER 315 Tasker Read PH(540)868-1061 Eric R.Lawrence Stephens City,Virginia 22655 Fax(540)868-1429 Executive Director www.FrederickWater.com MEMORANDUM TO: Candice Perkins, Assistant Director, Frederick County Planning Department FROM: Eric R. Lawrence, Executive Director, Frederick Water SUBJECT: Recommended SWSA Revisions in the Route 11 North Corridor DATE: September 16, 2020 During a Frederick County Board of Supervisors-Planning Commission work session on August 12, 2020, Frederick Water was tasked with reviewing the existing Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) boundaries and sewer demands and system capacities in the County's Route 11 North corridor, more specifically the area depicted in the County's Northeast Land Use Plan (NELUP). The catalyst for the review of the SWSA was a Comprehensive Policy Plan Amendment (CPPA) application to include the Waverly Farm property within the SWSA. The Board of Supervisors recognized that there may be sewer service challenges in the NELUP area and requested Frederick Water's recommendations for the NELUP-area SWSA boundary that incorporates the Waverly Farm and possibly other past unsuccessful CPPA requests. Frederick Water staff assembled a brief analysis of the sewer system capacities and projected future sewer demands, utilizing information captured in the 2017 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. The analysis identified necessary sanitary sewer infrastructure improvements to meet future demands and recognized that the necessary improvements should be funded through property owner contributions as the improvements will facilitate economic development opportunities for the property owners. Revisions to the SWSA would enable additional property owners to contribute funding towards, and benefiting from,the improvements. Attached is a brief analysis and recommendations drafted to address the Board of Supervisors' request. The Frederick Water Planning Committee reviewed this SWSA request during their meeting on September 14, 2020, and forward their comments and recommendations for the Frederick Water Board of Director's consideration. On September 15, 2020,the Frederick Water Board of Directors forwarded a SWSA recommendation for the Board of Supervisors consideration;that recommendation is attached. Attachments: Support Materials and Recommended Revisions to the NELUP SWSA Water At Your Service NELUP SWSA review by Frederick Water September 15, 2020 Task Review existing SWSA boundaries and sewer demands and system capacities. Propose new NELUP-area SWSA boundary that incorporates Waverly Farm and possibly other past unsuccessful CPPA requests. Provide an update on sewer demands, capacities, deficiencies, and remedies. Background The 2017 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan (SSMP) considered the planned land uses depicted in the County's 2035 Comprehensive Policy Plan (2035 CPP). The SSMP's Northern Service Region captured the 2035 CPP's Round Hill plan, Northeast Land Use Plan (NELUP), and a portion of planned land uses generally located north of Senseny Road. For today's SWSA review effort,we are looking at the NELUP area, generally north of the intersection of 1-81 and Martinsburg Pike(Rutherford Crossing shopping center area). The NELUP area is served by a series of sanitary sewer pump stations and forcemains,generally following the Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) corridor and flowing from the north to south. The Rest Church Road area is a lower elevation than the Rutherford Crossing shopping center area,therefore requiring pump stations and forcemains to convey sanitary sewer flows to the wastewater treatment plant-the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility(OWRF)- located on Berryville Pike(Route 7). The SSMP projects a future deficiency for sewer conveyance and treatment in the Northern Service Region. The most crucial limitations are related to the capacity in the common forcemain from the VDOT pump station,the overall pumping capacity of the Red Bud pump station,and the capacity of FWSA's Abrams Creek Interceptor. Through efforts already underway with the construction of the Stephenson Interceptor sewer,sewer conveyance will be re-routed away from the Red Bud pump station and the Abrams Creek Interceptor. The intent of the Stephenson Interceptor is to direct sanitary flows from the VDOT pump station, past Rutherford Crossing,to the Stephenson Regional pump station. The Stephenson Interceptor also captures sanitary sewer flows generated in Snowden Bridge and the new Graystone Business Park. The common eight-inch forcemain from the VDOT pump station is nearing capacity.The velocities in the forcemain when multiple pumps are pumping simultaneously are creating high headloss conditions. These conditions may exclude smaller pump stations from effectively pumping into the conveyance system. Smaller pump stations like Carroll Industrial Park, Hiatt Run, Rutherford Crossing,and Omps are challenged. With additional sanitary sewer flows redirected to the Stephenson Regional pump station, its planned pump station upgrades will need to be advanced in the near term. Sanitary sewer flows in the NELUP area currently flow tothe Opequon Water Reclamation Facility (OWRF)for treatment. Treatment capacities at the plant are presently available to meet today's demands but will be insufficient to meet the long term demands of the built-out NELUP. Planned Land Uses and Projected Sanitary Sewer Demands The planned land uses of the NELUP were captured in the 2017 SSMP. There has not been significant development over the past 3 years within NELUP that would drastically impact the calculations. Some of the development that has occurred include the addition of Amazon and Handy Mart(Rest Church area), and a few restaurants and a hotel in Rutherford Crossing. Table 3.1 below shows the expected development by land use over the next 30 years,and it is broken clown by the sewerage facilities most likely to directly receive the new development's flow. (2017 land use information extrapolated from 2035 CCP's NELUP) Table 3.1 ..

SCADA improvements which link communication amongst the pump stations would improve the flow abilities and efficiencies. These SCADA improvements should increase the capacity of the pump stations to its previously designed maximum flow rate. The use of a SCADA system would reduce the occurrence of multiple pumps running simultaneously, reduce high pressure conditions, and help reduce flow spikes at the VDOT pump station. Once SCADA improvements are implemented, actual upgrades to the VDOT pump station and forcemain, and the Stephenson Regional pump station will be required to accommodate additional flows. Limitations at the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility(OWRF)will warrant its expansion and/or establishment of a new wastewater treatment facility in the northern region to meet sanitary sewer flow treatment. The 2017 SSMP projects that the new wastewater treatment plant will be needed within 10-20 years, dependent on development trends in the commercial/industrial sectors. The timeline for the sanitary sewer system upgrades will be driven by the pace of introduction of new sanitary sewer flows. Conveyance and treatment limitations in the NELUP area would suggest that low sanitary sewer generators are more desirable than heavy flow generators. New treatment technologies and the ability of industrial onsite pre-treatment may also create avenues for less stringent treatment requirements in the future, possibly minimizing discharge to the sanitary sewer system and enabling onsite pre-treatment to be discharged under VPDES permits. Recommendations It is recommended that the SWSA boundary be adjusted to remove some areas from the SWSA when planned land uses clearly would not require Frederick Water's water and sanitary sewer services, and the addition of areas when planned land uses would require Frederick Water's water and sanitary sewer services. The recommendations also emphasize that private investment in sewer conveyance and treatment will be necessary to achieve the future planned land uses identified in the County's 2035 Comprehensive Plan's NELUP. The private investment may be facilitated via Grant-in-Aid agreements similar to that utilized to bring sanitary sewer to this area of the county in early 2000; private upfront investment for 15-year capacity reservations and perpetual sewer availability fee credits equal to the property owner's initial investment value. 1.

At that time, the series of four maps detailing the Plan were approved. Text describing the Plan was not included. Subsequently, the two amendments to this plan noted above have included a text component. The text component of the plan follows. Northeast Land Use Plan 1 APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS MCCANN-SLAUGHTER AMENDMENT (BOS APPROVED AUGUST 13, 2014) The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC), at their April 14, 2014 meeting, recommended that the following amendment be incorporated into the Northeast Land Use Plan: The CPPC proposed the following balanced approach as an amendment to the Northeast Land Use Plan for the McCann-Slaughter properties located near the intersection of Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) and Old Charlestown Road (Route 761). This location has historically been identified as a Sensitive Natural Area (NSA) due to the environmental and historical features on and around the site, most notably Stephenson's Depot. • Protection of the environmental features of the site. • Preservation of those areas identified with NSA's and development limited to those areas to the south of the NSA's and south of McCann's Road. • Utilizing McCann's Road and other historical features, such as Milburn Road, as features to be protected and potentially used in a manner that promotes their historical context (an extension of the historical trail system in the area). • An O.M. (Mixed Use Office/Industrial) land use designation. • Access to be provided via a new north south road that would generally be adjacent to the border of the Sensitive Natural Area (NSA) providing access from Old Charles Town Road to McCann's Lane and the southern portion of the property. Ultimately, Route 37 would divide the southern portion of the property. No access would be permitted to McCann's Lane for vehicular access to Martinsburg Pike or Milburn Road. Subsequently, the proposal was further evaluated to determine if other elements could be incorporated into the proposed amendment that would further ensure the environmental, historical, and development resources were protected, promoted, and sensitively integrated together in this balanced amendment to the Northeast Land Use Plan. To that end, the following items should be addressed with the future development of this area. • A buffer adjacent to McCann's lane that is approximately 50'in width (from the centerline). Contained within this area; native landscape plantings and preservation of the existing hedgerows aimed at Northeast Land Use Plan 2 APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS preserving this resource and its character, interpreting the historical landscape, and buffering the future development. • A transitional buffer between the existing floodplain and future land uses that promotes environmental best management practices and buffers the historical NSA from the future land uses (landscaping, building height transitions, view sheds). This buffer may include areas of the identified environmental resources. • The ability to include a small area of neighborhood commercial land use in support of the proposed OM land use. This would be located in the northern portion of the OM land use adjacent to the future road. • An interpretive trail head/parking area in the northem portion of this area adjacent to the proposed road could be incorporated into the design of the project, potentially in conjunction with a small area of neighborhood commercial. The interpretation may be reflective of the environmental and historical resources of the site and area. • The CPPC recommended the OM land use designation extends to the center of the stream, (A subsequent evaluation of this indicated it would be more appropriate to have the edge of the ultimate floodplain be the common boundary as a floodplain is, by definition in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, an identified Sensitive Natural Area). • The location and design of the road should be sensitive to the environmental and historical resources and should have minimal impact. • Historical signage consistent with currently used signage should be provided. • Historically relevant features, such as split rail fences, should be considered as a feature of the future development. But care should be taken to ensure the character of the resource isn't changed. • Appropriate traffic controls should be provided on McCann's Lane to ensure that it is used only for pedestrian and bicycle users.

Northeast Land Use Plan 3 APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS BLAIN PROPERTIES AMENDMENT (BOS APPROVED FEBRUARY 25, 2015) Approved language: The area of land use northwest of Exit 321, Interstate 81, Hopewell Road, and south of Cedar Hill Road is commercial and industrial in character. In general, the north-south major collector road that has been identified and is necessary to support this area of land use serves as a boundary between the commercial and industrial land uses. Flexibility should be offered in the final balance and location of land uses. Future applications for rezoning in this area shall adequately address any potential impacts to public facilities, in particular transportation, and shall implement any necessary transportation improvements. Northeast Land Use Plan 4 APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS SWSA ADJUSTMENT AMENDMENT BOS APPROVED Xxxxxxx XX 202X The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC), at their XXXXX XX 20XX meeting recommended that the following SWSA adjustment and text be incorporated into the Northeast Land Use Pian: The SWSA within the Northeast Land Use Plan recognizes the importance of planning for economic development, properly designating planned land uses, and placing those sites within the SWSA as an indication that the county is supportive of properly planned economic development apDOrtunities. Properties that had previously been designated with planned land uses to promoted economic development have been captured within the SWSA. Those properties that are designated with planned land uses that support economic development but do not require public water and sewer have been removed from the SWSA. The SWSA adjustment elevates the importance of access to Rublic water and sewer for the underlying planned land uses to be realized. Significant sanitary sewer improvements will be necessa[y to increase conveyance and treatment capacities to meet the demands of new development. While some improvements may certainly be addressed on a case-by-case approach, other improvements will require significant investment. Consideration of multiple property owner involvement in infrastructure financing should be considered to address the more significant conveyance and treatment needs. More important, property owners realize that properly sized and constructed sanitary sewer infrastructure needs to be in place and operational to facilitate private site development.

NORTHEAST FREDERICK LAND USE PLAN NELUP INCLUDING TEXT APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS; • MCCANN-SLAUGHTER AMENDMENT Approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 13, 2014 • BLAIN AMENDMENT Approved by the Board of Supervisors on February 25, 2015 The Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan, NELUP, was approved by the Board of Supervisors on July 141h, 2011. At that time, the series of four maps detailing the Plan were approved. Text describing the Plan was not included. Subsequently, the two amendments to this plan noted above have included a text component. The text component of the plan follows. Northeast Land Use Plan APPENDIX I W AREA PLANS MCCANN-SLAUGHTER AMENDMENT (BOS APPROVPD AUGUST 13, 2014) The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC), at their April 14, 2014 meeting, recommended that the following amendment be incorporated into the Northeast Land Use Plan; The CPPC proposed the following balanced approach as an amendment to the Northeast Land Use Plan for the McCann-Slaughter properties located near the intersection of Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) and Old Charlestown Road (Route 761). This location has historically been identified as a Sensitive Natural Area (NSA) due to the environmental and historical features on and around the site, most notably Stephenson's Depot. • Protection of the environmental features of the site. • Preservation of those areas identified with NSA's and development limited to those areas to the south of the NSA's and south of McCann's Road. • Utilizing McCann's Road and other historical features, such as Milburn Road, as features to be protected and potentially used in a manner that promotes their historical context (an extension of the historical trail system in the area). • An O.M. (Mixed Use Office/Industrial) land use designation. • Access to be provided via a new north south road that would generally be adjacent to the border of the Sensitive Natural Area (NSA) providing access from Old Charles Town Road to McCann's Lane and the southern portion of the property. Ultimately, Route 37 would divide the southern portion of the property. No access would be permitted to McCann's Lane for vehicular access to Martinsburg Pike or Milburn Road. Subsequently, the proposal was further evaluated to determine if other elements could be incorporated into the proposed amendment that would further ensure the environmental, historical, and development resources were protected, promoted, and sensitively integrated together in this balanced amendment to the Northeast Land Use Plan. To that end, the following items should be addressed with the future development of this area. • A buffer adjacent to McCann's lane that is approximately 50'in width (from the centerline). Contained within this area; native landscape plantings and preservation of the existing hedgerows aimed at Northeast Land Use Plan 2 APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS preserving this resource and its character, interpreting the historical landscape, and buffering the future development. • A transitional buffer between the existing floodplain and future land uses that promotes environmental best management practices and buffers the historical NSA from the future land uses (landscaping, building height transitions, view sheds). This buffer may include areas of the identified environmental resources. • The ability to include a small area of neighborhood commercial land use in support of the proposed OM land use. This would be located in the northern portion of the OM land use adjacent to the future road. • An interpretive trail head/parking area in the northern portion of this area adjacent to the proposed road could be incorporated into the design of the project, potentially in conjunction with a small area of neighborhood commercial. The interpretation may be reflective of the environmental and historical resources of the site and area. • The CPPC recommended the OM land use designation extends to the center of the stream. (A subsequent evaluation of this indicated it would be more appropriate to have the edge of the ultimate floodplain be the common boundary as a floodplain is, by definition in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, an identified Sensitive Natural Area). • The location and design of the road should be sensitive to the environmental and historical resources and should have minimal impact, • Historical signage consistent with currently used signage should be provided. • Historically relevant features, such as split rail fences, should be considered as a feature of the future development. But care should be taken to ensure the character of the resource isn't changed. • Appropriate traffic controls should be provided on McCann's Lane to ensure that it is used only for pedestrian and bicycle users. In general, balance was maintained as the overarching theme of the discussion of the CPPC, and subsequently, the discussion of the ad-hoc CPPC/HRAB group. Northeast Land Use Plan 3 APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS BLAIN PROPERTIES AMENDMENT (130S APPROVED FEBRUARY 25, 2015) Approved language: The area of land use northwest of Exit 321, Interstate 81, Hopewell Road, and south of Cedar Hill Road is commercial and industrial in character. In general, the north-south major collector road that has been identified and is necessary to support this area of land use serves as a boundary between the commercial and industrial land uses. Flexibility should be offered in the final balance and location of land uses. Future applications for rezoning in this area shall adequately address any potential impacts to public facilities, in particular transportation, and shall implement any necessary transportation improvements.
