Agricultural District Advisory Committee: 06/25/20 Pending
Planning Commission: Pending Pending
Board of Supervisors: Pending Pending
PROPOSAL: To update and renew the 2020-2025 Albin Agricultural and Forestal District.
LOCATION AND SIZE: This District is located within the Gainesboro Magisterial District
and currently contains 1014.00+/- acres. It is generally located west of Route 37, and North and
South of Route 522, near the Albin Rural Community Center. The proposed 2020-2025 District
would contain 1014.00+/- acres which is consistent with its last renewal.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & STAFF CONCLUSION FOR THE 6/25/20
AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTAL DISTRICT COMMITTEE MEETING:
This is a request to the Frederick County Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC) to
update and renew the Albin Agricultural and Forestal District. Chapter 43, Section 15.2-4300 of
the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, requires that these Districts be reviewed by the local
government every five years after establishment. The Albin Agricultural and Forestal District
during the last renewal consisted of 1,014.00+/- acres.
This proposed district renewal meets the intent of Chapter 43, Section 15.2-433 of the Code of
Virginia, 1950, as amended, and has been evaluated in conjunction with the 2035
Comprehensive Plan. This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to
conduct long range planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a
reserve of agricultural land through the year 2025. Once renewed the 2020-2025 Albin
Agricultural and Forestal District will consist of 1,014.00+/- acres and will be valid until August
12, 2025. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors approves, approves with modifications, or denies
the proposal to establish or renew an Agricultural and Forestal District.
Staff supports the renewal of the 1,014.00+/- acre of Albin Agricultural and Forestal District.
A recommendation from the ADAC to forward to the Planning Commission would be
appropriate.

Albin Agricultural and Forestal District Renewal
June 17, 2020
REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
LOCATION AND SIZE: The District is located in the Gainesboro Magisterial District. The
District currently contains 1,014.00+/- acres. This District is generally located west of Route 37,
and North and South of Route 522, near the Albin Rural Community Center. The proposed 2020-
2025 District would contain 1,014.00+/- acres.
AGRICULTURAL & FORESTAL SIGNIFICANCE: The District is 90 percent agriculture
(livestock, orchards, and crop harvest) and 10 percent open space/woodlands. The land within
the District is rural in nature.
LAND USE: All parcels within the District contain agricultural or residential land uses.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2035 Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides
guidance when considering land use actions. The District is located within the limits of the
Route 37 West Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Plan. The Route 37 West Land Use Plan
identified a study area which encompassed 645-acres bounded by Route 522 to the north, Route
37 to the east and the Round Hill Community Land Use Plan bound to the south. The Plan
identified 120 acres of that study area for potential business uses and the remaining 525-acres
within the study area was proposed to remain rural.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the Urban Development Area.
The Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in
Agricultural and Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan supports the renewal of the District
for it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning
efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural land
through the year 2025.
LAKES/PONDS/STREAMS: The District lies primarily within the Abrams Creek drainage
area. The establishment of this District will further assist with managing the quality of the
County’s water resources.
TOPOGRAPHY: The District generally varies from broad rolling hills to the west and, gently
rolling hills to the north and east. This District lies within the Abrams Creek watershed and
water is available from ponds, wells and springs. Most of the area within the District is in
pasture, orchards, livestock, and few areas are woodland.
PRIME AGRICULTURE SOIL: The largest amount of prime agricultural soils located within
the District is Frederick-Poplimento.

intended to remain rural. The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant
portion of the County’s economy, and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the
UDA. The Apple Pie Ridge Agricultural and Forestal District is agriculturally significant as
outlined in the Agricultural and Forestal District Act.
The Eastern Frederick County Road Plan is the major transportation component of the
Comprehensive Plan. This road plan identifies the future transportation needs within Frederick
County. A major component of this road plan is Route 37, which will provide direct limited east
to west access around the City of Winchester. This proposed roadway will need, at a minimum,
a 350-foot right-of-way. Staff would note that parcel 43-A-11 has previously been included in
the District, the ADAC should be aware that a portion of this property lies within the right-of-
way for future Route 37.

AGRICULTURAL & FORESTAL SIGNIFICANCE: The agricultural operations in the
District are 75 percent livestock and cultivation of hay and 25 percent open space/woodlands.
The area within the District is rural in nature.
LAND USE: All parcels within the District contain agricultural or residential land uses.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2035 Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides

RED BUD DISTRICT
Staff Report for the Agricultural District Advisory Committee
Prepared: June 17, 2020
Staff Contact: Mark R. Cheran, Zoning Administrator

Reviewed Action
Agricultural District Advisory Committee: 06/25/20 Pending
Planning Commission: Pending Pending
Board of Supervisors: Pending Pending
PROPOSAL: To update and renew the 2020-2025 Red Bud Agricultural and Forestal District.
LOCATION AND SIZE: This District is located within the Stonewall Magisterial District and
currently contains 1,007.34+/- acres. The District is generally located along Red Bud Road.
With this renewal, five parcels have requested to be removed from the District, totaling 44.85+/-
acres. Eleven parcels have requested to be added to the District, totaling 58.56+/- acres. The
total acreage of the District after considering additions and subtraction would be increased from
1,007.34+/- acres to 1,021.05+/- acres.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & STAFF CONCLUSION FOR THE 6/25/20
AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTAL DISTRICT COMMITTEE MEETING:
This is a request to the Frederick County Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC) to
update and renew the Red Bud Agricultural and Forestal District. Chapter 43, Section 15.2-4300
of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, requires that these Districts be reviewed by the local
government every five years after establishment. The Red Bud Agricultural and Forestal District
during the last renewal consisted of 1,007.34+/- acres.
This proposed District renewal meets the intent of Chapter 43, Section 15.2-433 of the Code of
Virginia, 1950, as amended, and has been evaluated in conjunction with the 2035
Comprehensive Plan. This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to
conduct long range planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a
reserve of agricultural land through the year 2025. With this update the acreage will be
increased by 13.71 acres; five parcels are being removed and eleven added. Once renewed the
2020-2025 Red Bud Agricultural and Forestal District will consist of 1,021.05+/- acres and will
be valid until August 12, 2025. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors approves, approves with
modifications, or denies the proposal to establish or renew an Agricultural and Forestal District.
Staff supports the renewal of the 1,021.05 +/- acre 2020-2025 Red Bud Agricultural and Forestal
District. A recommendation from the ADAC to forward to the Planning Commission would be
appropriate.

Red Bud Agricultural and Forestal District Renewal
June 17, 2020
REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
LOCATION AND SIZE: This District is located within the Stonewall Magisterial District and
currently contains 1,007.34+/- acres. The District is generally located along Red Bud Road.
With this renewal, five parcels have requested to be removed from the District, totaling 44.85+/-
acres. Eleven parcels have requested to be added to the District, totaling 58.56+/- acres. The
total acreage of the District after considering additions and subtraction would be increased from
1,007.34+/- acres to 1,021.05+/- acres.
AGRICULTURAL & FORESTAL SIGNIFICANCE: The predominantly agricultural
operations in the District are 75 percent agriculture (livestock, horses and crop harvest) and 25
percent open space/woodlands. The area within the District is rural in nature.
LAND USE: All parcels within the District contain agricultural or residential land uses.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2035 Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides
guidance when considering land use actions. The District lies in an area that is outside the Urban
Development Area (UDA) and Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). The area is located
within the limits of the Northeastern Land Use Plan. Approximately half of the District is
designated as a Developmentally Sensitive Area in the Northeast Land Use Plan. The remaining
parcels have no land use designation, which indicates the area should remain rural.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the UDA. The Comprehensive
Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in Agricultural and
Forestal District. The Plan supports the addition/renewal of the Districts, for it provides an
opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning efforts for the
management of their operations, while providing reserve of agricultural land through 2025.
LAKES/PONDS/STREAMS: The District lies primarily within the Redbud Run drainage area,
and partially within the Hiatt Run drainage area. The District will assist with managing the
quality of the County’s water resources.
TOPOGRAPHY: The District generally varies from a broad rolling valley to the west of Devils
Backbone, to very steep forested land on the eastern parcels and along Redbud Run. This
District is within the Redbud Run watershed and water is available from ponds, wells and
springs. Most of the soils, with the exception of those on the steeper slopes, are suited to a wide
variety of farm uses. These steeper slopes are mostly forested and are heavily wooded. Most of
the area is in pasture, cultivated crops and hay with few woodland areas.
PRIME AGRICULTURE SOIL: There is a limited amount of prime agricultural soils located
within the District, which are Blairton, Carbo, Frederick, Guernesy and Massanetta.

PROPOSAL: To update and renew the 2020-2025 South Timber Ridge Agricultural and
Forestal District.
LOCATION AND SIZE: This District is located within the Gainesboro Magisterial District and
currently contains 17 parcels and 981.08+/- acres managed by one (1) property owner. It is
generally located along Hollow Road (Route 707) to the north, Muse Road (Route 610) and Gold
Orchard Road (Route 708) to the east. The proposed 2020-2025 District would contain
981.08+/- acres which is consistent with its last renewal.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & STAFF CONCLUSION FOR THE 6/25/20
AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTAL DISTRICT COMMITTEE MEETING:
This is a request to the Frederick County Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC) to
update and renew the South Timber Ridge Agricultural and Forestal District. Chapter 43,
Section 15.2-4300 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, requires that these Districts be
reviewed by the local government every five years after establishment. The South Timber Ridge
Agricultural and Forestal District during the last renewal consisted of 981.08+/- acres.
This proposed District renewal meets the intent of Chapter 43, Section 15.2-433 of the Code of
Virginia, 1950, as amended, and has been evaluated in conjunction with the 2035
Comprehensive Plan. This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to
conduct long range planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a
reserve of agricultural land through the year 2025. Once renewed the 2020-2025 South Timber
Ridge Agricultural and Forestal District will consist of 981.08+/- acres and will be valid until
August 12, 2025. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors approves, approves with modifications,
or denies the proposal to establish or renew an Agricultural and Forestal District.
Staff supports the renewal of the 981.0+/- acre 2020-2025 South Timber Ridge Agricultural
and Forestal District. A recommendation from the ADAC to forward to the Planning
Commission would be appropriate.
