Item # 1
Review of WWW, L.C. Rezoning Proposal
The Historic Resources Advisory Board has been requested to review and provide comment on the
WWW, L.C. rezoning proposal, which has been submitted by C.E. Maddox, Jr., P.E. of Gilbert W.
Clifford & Associates, Inc. The proposal seeks to rezone 70.9065 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to
B2 (Business General). The property is located on the north side of Route 50 West, approximately
0.30 mile west of the Route 37 interchange, in the Gainesboro Magisterial District.
The Historic Sites and Structures section of the Impact Analysis Statement submitted by Mr.
Maddox confirms that two sites included in the Rural Landmarks Survey may be impacted by the
proposed rezoning. Specifically, the Folk Victorian Farmhouse (ID 434-469) is located on the
property and the Old Hoover House (ID #34-467) is located on an adjoining parcel. It is noted that
neither of these sites are included on the survey's list of "potentially significant" properties.
The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley published by the National Park Service
includes the WWW, L.C. property within the Second Battle of Winchester battlefield study area.
The study indicates that the property is in an area that has retained its integrity as a battlefield
resource, due largely to its agricultural use. The property is not located either within or adjacent to
the core battlefield area.
The Impact Analysis Statement for this rezoning proposal states that "Historic impacts such as loss
of sites of significant preservation value are minimal and manageable." The proposal suggests that
the commercial uses on the site will be buffered from Route 50 to minimize visual conflict with
tourism -related activity. No information concerning the composition of the proposed buffering has
been submitted.

H. Historic Sites and Structures
Two potentially historic sites were identified within the site study area and these are
shown on Figure 14. The site does not exist within a core Civil War battlefield area
although movement of troops in the area was documented throughout the Civil War,
particularly the Second Battle of Winchester. Historic impacts such as loss of sites of
significant preservation value are minimal and manageable. Buffering of Route 50 from
visual conflict with tourism is proposed.

Review of Winchester Medical Center Rezoning Proposal
The Historic Resources Advisory Board has been requested to review and provide comment on the
Winchester Medical Center, Inc. rezoning proposal, which has been submitted by C.E. Maddox, Jr.,
P.E. of Gilbert W. Clifford & Associates, Inc. The proposal seeks to rezone approximately 52 acres
from RA (Rural Areas) to MS (Medical Support). The property is the remainder of the former H.
Clay DeGrange Estate, located north and adjacent of Route 50 and west and adjacent to Route 37,
in the Gainesboro Magisterial District.
The former DeGrange estate is comprised of 102.02 acres. The 50.05 acres located immediately
adjacent to Route 50 was rezoned from RA to B2 (Business General) upon approval by the Board
of Supervisors of rezoning application #006-96 on February 12, 1997. The current rezoning
proposal involves the remaining 52 acres of the site, which is intended to become the "West
Campus" of the Winchester Medical Center. The entire 102.02 acres would be developed pursuant
to a common Generalized Development Plan and associated proffers.
The Historic Sites and Structures section of the Impact Analysis Statement submitted by Mr.
Maddox confirms that two sites included in the Rural Landmarks Survey are proximate to the
proposed campus. Specifically, the Old Hoover House (ID #34-467) and the Fruit Hill Farm (ID
#34-1410) are located west and north of the property, respectively. It is noted that the Old Hoover
House is not included on the survey's list of "potentially significant" properties; however, the Fruit
Hill Farm is identified as potentially significant.
The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley published by the National Park Service
includes the Winchester Medical Center, Inc. property within the Second Battle of Winchester
- battlefield studyarea. The study indicates -that the property is in an area -that -has retaine�c its integn� -
as a battlefield resource, due largely to its agricultural use. The property itself is not located within
the core battlefield area, but a substantial portion of the adjacent property to the north is identified
as core battlefield land.
The Impact Analysis Statement submitted by Mr. Maddox suggests that impacts on the identified
resources will be negligible due to their respective distances from the limits of the proposed
rezoning. No proffers concerning historic resources have therefore been proposed with this rezoning
petitiion.

WinchesterNledical Center
I1® General Criteria and Summary
Impact Analysis Statement
Winchester Medical Center (WMC) purchased the 102 acre deGrange property in order to
expand services for the Center and Valley Health Systems (VHS)_ This was a logical expansion
which represented the only available land adjacent to the 160 acre campus which is located
within the City of Winchester. The property is separated from the main campus by VA Route 37
and shares common frontage on U -S. Route 50.
During the year 2001 WMC worked closely with the Frederick County Planning Commission
(FCPC) and Board of Supervisors (FCBOS) to create a Medical Support District ordinance to
guide the development of major medical service facilities in Frederick County. The MS district
has been chosen to guide the planning for Tract 2 of the deGrange tract that is presently zoned
RA_ Tract 1 has been previously rezoned to B-2 by action of the BOS in 1997_
This rezoning petition maintains the front 50 acres (Tract 1) as B-2 and rezones the north 52
acres (Tract 2) to MS (see Figure 1)_ The concept plan approved with the B-2 rezoning in 1997
has been modified to reflect a new scope of potential uses and a new transportation plan which
implements the MS concept on this site_ The Tract 1 (B-2) proffers remain the same as approved
except for update editing. New proffers are added in support of the new MS zone_ The potential
land uses proposed will soften the transportation impacts predicted by the earlier B-2 zone
proposal to the degree that overall generated traffic is less for the 102 acre parcel than predicted
for Tract 1 (50 acre) alone_ Also the petition reflects the effect of the new Route 37 interchange
on area traffic, which has been built by WMC since the 1997 proposal.
The concept plan (Generalized Plan) has been adjusted to reflect the current Frederick County
Comprehensive Policy Plan.
Winchester,Medical Center Impact Analysis Statement
III. Impact Analysis
A Site Background and History
The Winchester Medical Center continues to plan for the future medical service support
needed in the region. This proposal includes the addition of 102 acres to the 160 acre
medical campus existing within the City of Winchester and adjacent to Route 37 and U.S.
Route 50. The purchase of the deGrange parcel represents a logical and needed expansion
of the overall campus to consolidate a number of uses that had been implemented in diverse
locations due to space planning over the years and to propose new uses necessary to the
continuing and increasing needs for medical services in the region. Tract 1 of deGrange
was planned for intensive B-2 use in 1997 when Frederick County implemented the B-2
zone for that property. The 1997 planning for the rear 52 acre Tract 2 was for a range of
M-1 uses as discussed at that time. This impact analysis proposes a new range of uses
consistent with the needs of health planning and proposes a plan to integrate the new tract
with the existing campus by means of transportation improvements. (See Table 1 and
Figure 2).
Many uses needed within this new district are B-2 in nature and are logically located on the
original Tract 1 50 acre parcel. For this reason the proposed zoning of this parcel has not
changed, however, the range of uses has been extensively modified.

H. Historic Sites and Structures
Impact Analysis Statement
Two historic structures exist within proximity to the proposed campus. The only
significant structure is located well to the north and this project will not impact the site
significantly. A number of civil war actions occurred in the vicinity such as the route to
contact of confederate forces in the Second Battle of Winchester however, this site lies
outside of NPS zone battlefield designations and will result in the loss of no significant
historic preservation potential. (See Figure 8).
