ITEM #1
McDonald Property
PARCEL REMOVAL REQUEST
Please find attached a letter from Roy and Loretta McDonald, to the Department of Planning
and Zoning dated May 7, 2004. The McDonald’s have requested the removal of 10 acres from
a 132 acre parcel located in the South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District. The South
Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District was established in 1980 and has been renewed four
times. The most recent renewal of this district occurred in March 2000 for a period of five
years. Currently, 11,451.94 acres are contained in this district which are comprised of 168
parcels.
The McDonalds have identified a need to sell off lots in order to continue farming the
remainder of their property. Section 15.2-4314 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended,
provides property owners with the ability to request removal of land from an agricultural and
forestal district through a public process through the local governing body.
Staff will present mapping during the committee meeting which delineates the location of this
acreage and its proximity to other land within the South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal
District. Staff requests that the Agricultural District Advisory Committee consider this request
and forward a recommendation to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors for
final determination regarding this matter.
