ITEM #1
2000 -2005 AGRICULTURAL & FORESTAL DISTRICT UPDATE
_______________________________________________________________________________
The Frederick County Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC) will review the proposed
update to the County’s three Agricultural and Forestal Districts. These districts include the South
Frederick District, established in 1980, and the Double Church Road and Refuge Church Road
Districts, established in 1995. All three districts will be up for renewal in March 2000.
Chapter 43, Section 15.2-4300 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, enables local governments
to establish Agricultural and Forestal Districts to conserve and protect agricultural and forestal lands
for the production of food and other agricultural products and to provide natural and ecological
resources. The Code of Virginia requires the local governing body to establish an ADAC for the
purpose of reviewing proposals that establish or renew districts to ensure conformity with the
provisions of section 15.2-4300. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors approves, approves with
modifications, or denies the proposal to establish or renew an Agricultural and Forestal District.
The Code of Virginia provides assurances to property owners who voluntarily place their land into an
Agricultural and Forestal District. These assurances include:
· Land lying within a district automatically qualifies for land use value assessment, even if the
locality does not offer that program.
· Local governments cannot enact laws or ordinances which would unreasonably restrict or
regulate farming practices or farm structures unless the restrictions have a direct relationship
to public health and safety.
· No special district for sewer, water or electricity or for nonfarm or nonforest drainage may
impose benefit assessments or special tax levies on the basis of frontage, acreage, or value on
land within a district that is utilized for agricultural or forestal purposes.
· State agencies, political subdivisions, and public utilities that desire to obtain more than one
acre on any parcel within a district or more than 10 acres in total within the district are
required to receive approval to do so through a public hearing process which involves
recommendations by the ADAC, the Planning Commission, and a final decision for approval
of denial by the Board of Supervisors.
The following information under this agenda item includes a summary of each district that is proposed
to be updated and tables containing property owner information. Staff will provide mapping for each
district during the meeting for review by the ADAC.
DOUBLE CHURCH ROAD AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTAL DISTRICT
District Summary:
· 1,106.96 acres are proposed for renewal for the 2000-2005 District.
· 27 parcels are proposed for inclusion which are under 14 separate ownerships.
· 1,405.31 acres are currently in the 1995-2000 District; therefore, this update will result in the
loss of 298.35 acres.
