ITEM 2: Review recent changes to the Guidelines for New Construction in the
Historic Area Overlay Zone
This item was scheditled for discussion at the June meeting, but the meeting utas canceled.
The Planning Department staff feels that the proposed guidelines do not adequately address the
concerns for future development within the Historic Area Overlay Zone. They have requested
that the HRAB revise the proposal to include guidelines for new residential construction,
particularly for multi -family structures.
The overwhelming concern was that apartment complexes and townhouses may be built within
the HA zones. As presently proposed, the guidelines do not address such new construction. The
attached guidelines have been revised to include wordage pertaining to new residential
construction.
Additionally, staff feels that the guidelines should be a "stand alone" document. The Zoning
Ordinance would only be amended to include provisions that new construction in the HA zone
exercise the guidelines.
A draft of these new guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance amendment statement are attached to
this memorandum. Please review them both and we will discuss them at the meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Comprehensive Plan Subcommittee
Historic Resources Advisory Board
FROM: Robert Watkins, Frederick County Planning Director
SUBJECT: Battlefield Network Plan
DATE: June 23, 1995
Ultimately, we would like to have the endorsements of the Battlefield Network Plan from
the Historic Resources Advisory Board, the Comprehensive Plan Subcommittee, the
Planning Commission, and the Board of Supervisors. This might require additional work
and discussion. We also intend to make the following revisions based on the discussions
on June 22:
Refer to downtown Winchester as the fourth key battlefield site.
The use of the internet under the public awareness and promotion strategies.
Additional work is needed to define the type of organizational framework that will be
needed to carry out the strategies. We would greatly appreciate input from you
concerning this and other issues.
I would ask that you take whatever steps you believe are necessary to make a
recommendation on the plan to the Board of Supervisors. We will gladly provide any
assistance that you need.
