Item 3: Review of the Carbaugh Business Center Rezoning Application
The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above-referenced
Rezoning application during their meeting on August 15, 2017. The HRAB reviewed information from the
Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR), the Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley
Maps and information provided by the Applicant. This site is identified by Property Identification
Numbers 74-A-68 and 74-A-69, in the Back Creek Magisterial District. The Carbaugh rezoning seeks to
rezone 107.21 acres from the RA (Rural Areas) District to the M1 (Light Industrial) District with proffers.
The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley published by National Park Service Study of Civil
War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley does not identify a core battlefield on the site; however it is located
within close proximity to the Kernstown Battlefield. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources
identifies seven mapped properties within the immediate area of the subject property, one of which is
located on site.
Historic Resources Advisory Board Comments:
After reviewing this information and the Applicant’s materials and proposals, the Historic Resources
Advisory Board (HRAB) recommended approval of the Rezoning with the condition that the
Applicant perform an intensive level survey on the historic structure located on-site (Henry
Carbaugh House - #34-1040) prior to its demolition.
Meeting was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
