MEMORANDUM
ITEM #1
2005-2010 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 May of 2005.
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 forestral 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 Districts.
Since the County’s Agricultural and Forestal Districts were initially established in 1980,
the number of properties participating in the district has either increased or remained
constant. However, this year we have seen a dramatic decrease in the number of
properties that have either renewed their participation or new properties asking for
inclusion into the districts. In early 2004, the County undertook a study to determine
what, if any, changes to the County’s Comprehensive Policy Plan were necessary to help
plan for growth in the rural areas. At the time of this review, the rural area study has not
been completed. This could account for some of the low participation rate in the
Agricultural and Forestal Districts. Since the Code of Virginia requires the County to
renew these districts every five years, the County has decided to move forward with this
process. However, once the rural areas study is completed, the County will offer property
owners another chance to participate in the Agricultural and Forestal District program.
Staff has concluded that under the requirements of Chapter 43, Section 15.2-4300, not
enough property owners have renewed their applications to keep either the Double
Church Road or Refuge Church Road Districts. The only district that will remain in effect
will be the South Frederick District. The following information under this agenda item
includes a summary of the new Agricultural and Forestal District that is proposed, tables
containing property owner information as well as maps to clearly represent both the old
and new districts discussed above.
