MEMORANDUM
TO: Frederick County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Wyatt Pearson, AICP Director of Planning& Development
RE: Public Hearing- Comprehensive Plan Amendment#01-23 —Madison II,LLC
DATE: December 29th, 2023
This is apublic hearing for Comprehensive Plan Amendment request#01-23 for Madison II,LLC.
Madison requested the inclusion of one parcel(PIN 87-A-15),totaling 149 acres,into the boundary
of a new non-contiguous Urban Development Area(UDA), and to modify the existing future land
use designations on portions of the property. The property included in this request is located south
of Fairfax Pike (Route 277) and a little over a mile west of the Route 277 & 522 intersection
(double tollgate area). The Lake Frederick development borders the property to the south and east,
and the property is in the Opequon Magisterial District.
The property is currently zoned RA (Rural Areas) District and is currently utilized for agricultural
and residential purposes, it is within the Sewer and Water Service Area(SWSA)but not the UDA.
The Southern Frederick Area Plan shows this property as a part of the Lake Frederick
Neighborhood Village. This neighborhood village is envisioned to be a compact center that focuses
and complements the surrounding neighborhoods, is walkable, designed at a human scale, and
supported by existing planned road network. More specifically, this area is intended as a gateway
feature for both Frederick County at large as well as the Lake Frederick Community. Residential
land uses are intended as an accessory component of the land use plan in this area.
The applicant is seeking to change a portion of the existing land use designations (Mixed Use
Industrial/Office & Industrial 32 acres) to Neighborhood Village. Additionally, the applicant is
retaining the current Mixed-Use Commercial/Office designation but proposing additional text
recognizing that medical support uses may be appropriate for this general area in the future. Lastly,
rather than a lengthy extension of the existing UDA boundary, the applicant is proposing a non-
contiguous UDA be established around the property in question.
Following the November 13th Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC) the
applicant provided a letter intending to address committee and staff comments dated November
27th 2023, which is included in this packet. This letter suggested modifications to the proposed
text amendment to retitle the `Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village' to `Lake Frederick Urban
Development Area' and to include the existing Lake Frederick Development per staff's suggestion.
CPPA#01-23—Madison II
December 29',2023
Page 2
Additionally, language was added to address staff concerns related to pedestrian/vehicular
connectivity.
Staff Conclusions:
Cleaning up the industrial land use designation to ensure it doesn't span the riparian corridor is a
commonsense correction. Given the relatively small area proposed to be converted from Mixed
Use Industrial Office to Neighborhood Village, and the market shifts impacting the viability of
office uses, and in turn the likely end use for this piece, this may also be an appropriate change.
The concept of a non-contiguous UDA is a new and very substantial consideration for Frederick
County. Since the inception of the UDA land use policy, it has always been a singular contiguous
boundary to ensure it met the intention of controlling and concentrating residential growth.
Specific land use decisions have led to large seemingly irregular modifications to the UDA in the
past(Snowden Bridge). If the application in question is found to have merit,staff recommends not
extending the UDA boundary out along Route 277 from its current location since it will encompass
properties not evaluated. Rather, the application can be expanded to encompass the entirety of the
Shenandoah (Lake Frederick) development and establish a new non-contiguous UDA. This
concept is reflected in the draft text included in this packet, and the draft future land use plan. Staff
coordinated with the applicant to arrive at this solution. Anchoring the new UDA with this
development and working to implement some of the same best practices that have led to the success
demonstrated at Lake Frederick would meet the same intention of the existing UDA and support
the reality that communities of our size don't always grow outward from a single concentric circle
but have `pockets' of urbans areas that not always directly contiguous to each other.
The CPPC reviewed this item on November 13th and has recommended approval. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of this CPPA at their December 6th meeting.
Staff is seeking action from the Board of Supervisors on this CPPA application. The following
considerations are noted in the Comprehensive Plan as factors to consider when reviewing
proposed amendments:
• Would benefit the public health, safety, and welfare.
• Is consistent with the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
• Will not be detrimental to uses of property in the immediate vicinity of the subject property.
• Has merit and value for the community as a whole.
• Will result in benefits (fiscal, aesthetic, employment, etc.) that will outweigh any
significant impact of the change.

RE: CPPA#01-23 Madison II LLC Property
Dear Mr. Pearson,
Based on the comments from your memo dated November 6th, 2023 and comments received from
the CPPC meeting held on November 13, 2003,the Applicant requests that the Planning Commission
and Board of Supervisors also consider additional changes to the Southern Frederick Area Plan,
specifically,the Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village.
The proposed text amendment is as follows, the green text includes revisions proposed during the
initial submittal,the red text includes additional proposed revisions:
LAKE FREDERICK URBAN DEVELOPMENT AREA
The Lake Frederick Urban DevelopmentArea serves
as a focal point to the 277 Triangle Centers of Economy, and as a gateway feature for the
Shenandoah/Lake Frederick community. On a broader scale, a gateway feature for
Frederick County as citizens and visitors approach the County from the east is desirable
in this area. This development area should promote a strong positive
community image. Residential land uses would be permitted only as an accessory
component of the commercial land uses. Previously, a small area of
neighborhood village commercial was identified on the south side of Route 277 in the
general vicinity of the future entrance of Shenandoah and the existing Sandy's Mobile
Home Park. The 2014 update to the Plan provides for an overall greater area and mix of
uses in this area that is reflective of a desire to create a more substantial focal point for
activity. This is primarily based on the growth and development of the Lake Frederick
Community and the involvement of new residents from this area. The Lake Frederick Urban
Development Area should be considered for inclusion into the larger Frederick County
Urban Development Area in order to facilitate development that extends land use patterns
already established in the Lake Frederick Development.
In addition to the proposed north-south trails connecting the Route 277 Triangle to the
Existing Lake Frederick Community (refer to "Transportation w/ Trails Map), vehicular
connections should be considered to provide inter-parcel connectivity between the Lake
Frederick Community and other parcels located south of the Route 277 corridor. These
connections will allow existing residents pedestrian and vehicular access to commercial
areas without the need to travel on arterial roads.In order to serve the needs of the ,growing
residential community in and around the Lake Frederick Urban Development Area,
medical uses should be considered within the core commercial areas around the Route
277 corridor.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Please let me know if you have any questions
or comments.

Valley Engineering

AMENDMENT JUSTIFICATION:
Overview
The Madison II LLC Property Properties CPPA application requests expansion of the UDA to
include a single parcel totaling 149.02 acres, and revision of the planned land use designations
as stated above. The property is located within the boundaries of the Southern Frederick Area
Plan (SFAP), and within the Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village (LFNV). The property is 100%
within the SWSA boundary. The SFAP currently designates planned land uses as follows:
±30 acres: Mixed Use Commerical/Office (MUCO)
±18 acres: Mixed Use Industrial/Office (MUIO)
±14 acres: Industrial
±57 acres: Neighborhood Village (NV)
±30 acres: Area that includes buffers and future road Right of Way
±149 acres: Site Area
The proposed revisions to the planned uses are as follows:
±30 acres: Mixed Use Commerical/Office (MUCO)
±89 acres: Neighborhood Village (NV)
±30 acres: Area that includes buffers and future road Right of Way
±149 acres: Site Area
Justification #1- Removal of Industrial Use Designations Due to Topographic and Environmental
Constraints
The site contains multiple drainage patterns, including a large feature that drains south to Lake
Frederick (See Exhibit 4 for topography and buffers). Existing topography adjacent to the
drainage features is steep in most areas and not conducive for large pad industrial uses as
designated in the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the small strip of land between the western
property line and the drainage feature is too narrow for industrial use. The proposed revision
would change this area from Industrial to Neighborhood Village. The area designated as MUIO
is currently cut off from the future industrial designated areas by the large north-south drainage
feature. The reclassification of this area from industrial oriented development to residential
focused development relates better to the topography of the site.
Justification #2-Applies Comolementaiy Planned Land Uses
Changing a portion of the planned land use from Industrial/MUIO to Neighborhood Village will
form a logical extension of adjacent residential uses. The revision complements the Lake
Frederick development (Planned Unit Development) to the south and east, forming a residential
corridor connecting Lake Frederick and the Route 277 corridor. The expansion of the UDA to
include the subject parcel would also create the opportunity for a logical extension of the UDA
boundary to include Lake Frederick which contains a significant amount of existing residential
density. See Exhibit 3 for existing land use designations and UDA boundaries for the subject
site and adjacent properties within a one-mile radius.
Justification #3- Supports Implementation of Frederick Water's Regional Sewer Plans
The subject parcel lies within the existing SWSA boundary. Expanding the UDA to include the
subject acreage and applying appropriate land use designations will align the UDA boundary
with the existing SWSA boundary. See Exhibit 1 for the location of the subject parcel in
comparison to the existing UDA and SWSA boundaries.
EXISTING CHARACTERISTICS ANALYSIS:
Please refer to the attached Exhibit-1 that identifies the various properties that meet the 1-mile
radius distance criteria. Refer to Exhibit-2 for existing zoning designations, and Exhibit-3 for
existing Comprehensive Plan designations. The following information describes existing and
future land use characteristics within this radius boundary:
• Properties north of the project site:
o Properties primarily zoned Rural Area District (RA)
o Located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA).
o Properties across the Rt. 277 corridor are designated primarily as Industrial or
Mixed Use Industrial/Office
• Properties south of the project site:
o Properties are zoned Residential Planned Community District (R5), known as the
Lake Frederick Development
o Located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA).
o Properties zoned R5 are not currently within the Urban Development Area (UDA).
o R5 properties are designated as Planned Unit Development
• Properties east of the project site:
o Directly adjacent are zoned Residential Planned Community District (135), known as
the Lake Frederick Development. Properties further to the east are zoned Rural
Areas District (RA), and Mobile Home Community District (MH-1).
o Located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA).
o Properties directly adjacent are designated as Planned Unit Development, with
Neighborhood Village and Industrial further to the east.
• Properties west of the project site:
o Properties are primarily zoned Rural Areas District (RA) with a small amount of land
zoned Light Industrial (M-1)
o Located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA).
o Properties directly adjacent are designated as Industrial with Mixed-Use
Commercial/ Office to the northwest and further to the west.
TRIP GENERATION ANALYSIS:
The proposed land use change from approximately 32 acres of industrial and Mixed Use
Industrial/Office to Neighborhood Village will result in a reduction in development intensity as
the existing commercial component has the potential to be a significant traffic generator. As
such, the trip generation attributable to this CPPA application is approximately 12% less than
what would otherwise be expected if the current land use designations were implemented. The
values used for these projections were obtained from the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip
Generation Manual, which is the source currently utilized by VDOT and Frederick County for
transportation impact analysis. Note that the project includes approximately 30 acres of MUCO
(Commercial/Office). This area does not change from the existing to proposed condition,
therefore it was not included in the calculations below.

PART 2 - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT REQUEST
PURPOSE AND INTENT:
The map amendment described in Part 1 proposes the removal of industrial and industrial/office
related uses as it applies to the subject property and replaces it with residential uses; this
change is primarily within the core of the 149 ac. site. The portion of the site that fronts Route
277 (±30 acres) will remain MUCO/ commercial. This text amendment request relates
specifically to the ±30 ac. MUCO portion of the site. The purpose of this request is to add
language to the Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village portion of the Comprehensive Plan to
address the need for medical services in this area of the County.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SECTION/CHAPTER TO BE REVISED:
Area Plan: Southern Frederick Area Plan
Section: Land Use
Focus Area: Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village (Page 29)
Existing Text:
LAKE FREDERICK NEIGHBORHOOD VILLAGE
The Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village serves as a focal point to the 277 Triangle
Centers of Economy, and as a gateway feature for the Shenandoah/Lake Frederick
community. On a broader scale, a gateway feature for Frederick County as citizens and
visitors approach the County from the east is desirable in this area. This neighborhood
village should promote a strong positive community image. Residential land uses would be
permitted only as an accessory component of the neighborhood village commercial land
uses. Previously, a small area of neighborhood village commercial was identified on the
south side of Route 277 in the general vicinity of the future entrance of Shenandoah and the
existing Sandy's Mobile Home Park. The 2014 update to the Plan provides for an overall
greater area and mix of uses in this area that is reflective of a desire to create a more
substantial focal point for activity. This is primarily based on the growth and development of
the Lake Frederick Community and the involvement of new residents from this area.
PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT:
The proposed amendment adds text to the existing Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village
description, removal of existing text is not proposed. Changes are noted below in bold and
underlined.
LAKE FREDERICK NEIGHBORHOOD VILLAGE
The Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village serves as a focal point to the 277 Triangle
Centers of Economy, and as a gateway feature for the Shenandoah/Lake Frederick
community. On a broader scale, a gateway feature for Frederick County as citizens and
visitors approach the County from the east is desirable in this area. This neighborhood
village should promote a strong positive community image. Residential land uses would be
permitted only as an accessory component of the neighborhood village commercial land
uses. Previously, a small area of neighborhood village commercial was identified on the
south side of Route 277 in the general vicinity of the future entrance of Shenandoah and the
existing Sandy's Mobile Home Park. The 2014 update to the Plan provides for an overall
greater area and mix of uses in this area that is reflective of a desire to create a more
substantial focal point for activity. This is primarily based on the growth and development of
the Lake Frederick Community and the involvement of new residents from this area. In
order to serve the needs of the growing residential community in and around the Lake
Frederick Neighborhood Village, medical uses should be considered within the core
commercial areas around the Route 277 corridor.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS:
Impact to Goals. PolicieslObiectives, and Action Strategies of the Comprehensive Plan
The Southern Frederick Area Plan identifies opportunities to create new communities, integrate
land use and transportation choices, address infrastructure needs, and expand the County's
goals for economic development. The addition of text language specific to medical uses fits well
within these goals, as it adds important services to a growing community. As it currently stands,
the vast majority of medical related uses are located in the City of Winchester in and around the
Valley Health campus. The addition of medical related uses within the Lake Frederick
Neighborhood Village would provide much needed services in the southern portion of the county,
reducing traffic to and from existing facilities in the northern part of the County and creating
services that are close to existing and future residential areas.
Consistency with Other Comprehensive Plan Components
The proposed addition of medical use specific language is consistent with the County's goals for
economic development within the Route 277 Triangle/Center of Economy and Lake Frederick
Neighborhood Village areas. Developments that include medical services tend to be generators
for associated uses such as retail centers, hotels, restaurants, and other support uses. In
addition, the surrounding industrial area within the Route 277 Triangle will generate a significant
amount of jobs that require medical support for employees.
Level of Service Imuacts
The result from this CPPA application is minimal (if any) to public services as the area is
currently designated as Mixed-Use Commercial/Office (MUCO).
Transportation: As indicated by the Trip Generation table provided in Part 1 of this
application, the acreage for the MUCO area does not change (30 acres existing and
proposed), therefore there is no anticipated traffic impact with this request.
Public Schools: If developed as a Medical Support District it is anticipated that residential
density would be limited to age restricted/continuing care type dwellings. These uses
would have no impact on local schools.
Water and Sewer Capacities: The proposed medical-related uses would not have an
increased water and sewer demand when compared to other uses currently allowed in
commercial districts.
Fire and Rescue: The inclusion of medical-related uses would potentially shorten
response times for medical emergencies as services would be located in closer proximity
to residential communities in the southern part of the County.

SUBJECT: Comment on CPPA#01-23 Madison II, LLC
UDA/SWSA and Land Use revision Request
Parcel 87-A-15
DATE: October 4, 2023
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on CPPA#01-23 for Madison II,LLC.
Comments are provided for this Comprehensive Plan amendment application and in
recognition that a future rezoning could follow at which time additional details for the project
will be provided.
This property is captured in the Southern Frederick Area Plan. The property is more specifically
located south of Route 277, west of Route 522, and adjacent to the Lake Frederick
development.
Changes to land uses and UDA boundaries which result in similar water and sewer demands
than are currently planned for would be accommodated within Frederick Water's recently
designed sanitary sewer infrastructure improvement plans. The proposed addition of a
projected 800 residential units within the Neighborhood Village land use designation will result
in additional water and sewer demands above what is currently anticipated in the existing land
use plan.
Water At Your Service
Page 2
Comment on CPPA#01-23 for Madison II, LLC
October 4, 2023
Water supply for the Madison II project would be via an existing 12-inch water main which
parallels the south side of Route 277 (Fairfax Pike). Adequate water capacities and pressures
are currently available to meet the project's projected demands. The developer will need to
extend adequately sized water lines throughout the subject property, and interconnect with
adjacent properties, as part of their development program. Adequate water treatment
capacity is currently available to meet the projected water demands of the proposal.
Sanitary sewer conveyance and treatment capacities are currently limited in this area, and
warrant conveyance system upgrades to meet long term planned land uses that are captured in
the current Southern Frederick Area Plan. Frederick Water is designing and will construct a
sanitary forcemain improvement that could serve the area including the subject property
(target completion 2026). The developer will need to construct the necessary on-site gravity
collection system, pump station, and forcemain and extend said forcemain to an appropriate
off-site connection with Frederick Water's planned/future sanitary sewer system.
As planned land uses advance into construction, the developer will be expected to: Design,
fund, and construct the necessary infrastructure extend water services to the site and to
convey future sanitary sewer flows to Frederick Water's sanitary sewer infrastructure; Dedicate
the necessary water and sanitary sewer easements; and Contribute financially to the
infrastructure upgrades that are warranted to accommodate the development's water and
sanitary sewer demands.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Maddra:
Frederick County Public Schools has reviewed the Madison II, LLC Property comprehensive plan
amendment application submitted to us on October 2, 2023. We offer the following comment:
1. We note that this proposed change would increase the yield of residential units by 290, thereby
increasing the demand on the schools that would serve this development. Those schools include
Sherando High School, Aylor Middle School, and Armel Elementary School. Sherando and Armel
are both currently over capacity.
Please feel free to contact me at leew(@fcpsk12.net or 540-662-3888 x88249 if you have any questions or
comments.

RE: CPPA#01-23 Madison II LLC Property
Dear Mr. Pearson,
Based on the comments from your memo dated November 6th, 2023 and comments received from
the CPPC meeting held on November 13, 2003,the Applicant requests that the Planning Commission
and Board of Supervisors also consider additional changes to the Southern Frederick Area Plan,
specifically,the Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village.
The proposed text amendment is as follows, the green text includes revisions proposed during the
initial submittal,the red text includes additional proposed revisions:
LAKE FREDERICK URBAN DEVELOPMENT AREA
The Lake Frederick Urban Development Area serves
as a focal point to the 277 Triangle Centers of Economy, and as a gateway feature for the
Shenandoah/Lake Frederick community. On a broader scale, a gateway feature for
Frederick County as citizens and visitors approach the County from the east is desirable
in this area. This development area should promote a strong positive
community image. Residential land uses would be permitted only as an accessory
component of the commercial land uses. Previously, a small area of
neighborhood village commercial was identified on the south side of Route 277 in the
general vicinity of the future entrance of Shenandoah and the existing Sandy's Mobile
Home Park. The 2014 update to the Plan provides for an overall greater area and mix of
uses in this area that is reflective of a desire to create a more substantial focal point for
activity. This is primarily based on the growth and development of the Lake Frederick
Community and the involvement of new residents from this area. The Lake Frederick Urban
Development Area should be considered for inclusion into the larger Frederick County
Urban Development Area in order to facilitate development that extends land use patterns
already established in the Lake Frederick Development.
In addition to the proposed north-south trails connecting the Route 277 Triangle to the
Existing Lake Frederick Community (refer to "Transportation w/ Trails Map), vehicular
connections should be considered to provide inter-parcel connectivity between the Lake
Frederick Community and other parcels located south of the Route 277 corridor. These
connections will allow existing residents pedestrian and vehicular access to commercial
areas without the need to travel on arterial roads.In order to serve the needs of the ,growing
residential community in and around the Lake Frederick Urban Development Area,
medical uses should be considered within the core commercial areas around the Route
277 corridor.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Please let me know if you have any questions
or comments.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
APPROVED ON NOVEMBER 12, 2014
INCLUDING TEXT APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENT:
• LEONARD PROPERTY
APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON JANUARY 26, 2017
Southern Frederick Area Plan 27
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
SOUTHERN FREDERICK AREA PLAN
The Southern Frederick Area Plan builds on the Route 277 Triangle and Urban
Center Plan, consolidates the Tasker Woods Plan, and incorporates previously
unplanned areas within the study boundary into a cohesive and proactive area
plan.
The Southern Frederick Area Plan continues to identify opportunities to create new
communities, integrate land use and transportation choices, address community
infrastructure needs, and expand the County's goals for economic development.
A series of maps have been prepared which identify future land use, transportation, and
natural, historical, and community facilities within the study area.
The Southern Frederick Area Plan originally promoted five main areas of new land use
focus; the Sherando Center, the Route 277 Triangle; Center of Economy, Interstate
Commercial at I-81 Exit 307, White Oak Woods Neighborhood Village, and Tasker Woods. In
the 2014 update, several additional areas of land use focus were envisioned: Lakeside
Neighborhood Village, Artrip Neighborhood Village, Warrior and Tasker Neighborhood
Village, and Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village.
The above areas combine to frame the southern boundary of the County's urban areas. In
addition, Route 522 South within the study area defines the eastern boundary of the
County's urban areas. South and east of this study area; the County's rural areas are
strengthened as the primary land use designation. The Lake Frederick Sewer and Water
Service Area (SWSA) is recognized in this area plan.
LAND USE
THE SHERANDO CENTER
The Sherando Center is envisioned to be an intensive, walkable urban area that is well
integrated with the surrounding community. The center should be based on the principles
of New Urbanism or Traditional Neighborhood Design promoted in the Comprehensive Plan.
It shall contain a large commercial core, generally higher residential densities with a mix of
housing types, an interconnected street system, and public open space around which the
center is designed. Community facilities shall also provide a focal point for the center and
surrounding community. Presently, Sherando High School and Sherando Park provide this
function. In the future, these resources shall be complemented by a new elementary school
which shall serve the existing and future population and be located within the center. Public
spaces in the form of pocket parks, plazas, or greens shall be further integrated into the
design of the Sherando Center.
The commercial and residential mix of land uses shall have a strong street presence and
shall relate to existing Route 277, Warrior Drive and Double Church Road. The mix of
Southern Frederick Area Plan 28
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
commercial, residential, employment, and community uses shall be linked to the
surrounding community with inter modal transportation choices and public open spaces.
The Sherando Center is centrally located to the community and is in the short term,
respectful to the Agricultural District.
ROUTE 277 TRIANGLE- CENTERS OF ECONOMY
The Route 277 Triangle Centers of Economy is designed to be a significant area of
commercial and industrial opportunity that is fully supportive of the Frederick County
Economic Development Authority's targeted goals and strategies. The intent of the mixed-
use designation is to further enhance the County's commercial and industrial areas and to
provide focus to the County's future regional employment centers. In specific areas a mix
of flexible uses, with office uses in prominent locations is encouraged. Such areas are
supported by substantial areas of industrial and commercial opportunity and provide for
areas that are well designed with high quality architecture and site design. It is the intent
of such areas to promote a strong positive community image. Residential land uses are not
envisioned in this area.
LAKE FREDERICK NEIGHBORHOOD VILLAGE
The Lake Frederick Neighborhood Village serves as a focal point to the 277 Triangle Centers
of Economy, and as a gateway feature for the Shenandoah/Lake Frederick community. On
a broader scale, a gateway feature for Frederick County as citizens and visitors approach
the County from the east is desirable in this area. This neighborhood village should
promote a strong positive community image. Residential land uses would be permitted only
as an accessory component of the neighborhood village commercial land uses. Previously, a
small area of neighborhood village commercial was identified on the south side of Route 277
in the general vicinity of the future entrance of Shenandoah and the existing Sandy's Mobile
Home Park. The 2014 update to the Plan provides for an overall greater area and mix of
uses in this area that is reflective of a desire to create a more substantial focal point for
activity. This is primarily based on the growth and development of the Lake Frederick
Community and the involvement of new residents from this area.
INTERSTATE COMMERCIAL I-81 EXIT 307
Located at a highly visible location on an interstate interchange, this area of land trse shall
be designed specifically to accommodate and promote highway commercial land uses.
Particular effort must be made to ensure that access management for the supporting
transportation network is a key priority as the function of the interstate and primary road
network is of paramount importance. The building and site layout and design of the
projects shall be of a high quality. In addition, an enhanced buffer and landscaping is
planned adjacent to the Interstate 81 right-of-way, its ramps, the new arterial road (South
Frederick Parkway), and adjacent to Route 11.
Southern Frederick Area Plan 29
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
WHITE OAK WOODS NEIGHBORHOOD VILLAGE
The White Oak Woods Neighborhood Village is a neighborhood village commercial area that
is proposed at White Oak Road and Route 277. This area should be sensitive to the existing
character and scale of the location, adjacent to Sherando Park and the White Oak
Campground. The orientation of this neighborhood commercial shall be to the park and
adjoining street network. A new fire and rescue facility and community facility shall provide
an additional focal point to this area. This facility and the commercial land uses shall be of
a general scale and context similar to projects such as Creekside. High quality building and
site design is a priority. Accessory residential uses are only permitted as an accessory
component of the neighborhood village commercial land uses.
TASKER WOODS
The Tasker Woods area provides guidance on the future land uses for the areas between
Route 522, Tasker Road, and White Oak Road. An area of neighborhood village commercial
is proposed between the originally proposed residential areas and Route 522, serving the
Tasker Woods area. Access Management is a priority along the Route 522 corridor. An
internal access road serving this area was provided with the Tasker Woods project;
therefore, no new commercial entrances shall be permitted on Route 522. A significant
corridor appearance buffer is proposed along Route 522 similar to that established for Route
50 West corridor in the Round Hill Land Use Plan. This buffer should consist of a 50-foot
landscaped buffer area, and bike path. Residential uses are only permitted as an accessory
component of the neighborhood village commercial land uses within area.
The area of natural resources connecting Tasker Woods with Route 522, including the
existing pond shall continue to be recognized in this plan. An extension of the neighborhood
commercial land uses may be appropriate on the east and west sides of the existing pond if
a balance is achieved between protecting the environmental features and allowing
compatible uses, which may also include commercial recreational uses.
In addition to the neighborhood village commercial land uses, an area of commercial land
use is proposed generally north of Tasker Road — this expands on previously planned
commercial uses in this area. Two areas have been identified as recreational and natural
resources and have been connected together in an effort to protect the existing natural
resources and provide additional recreational opportunities for the Tasker Woods area.
LAKESIDE NEIGHBORHOOD VILLAGE
The Lakeside Neighborhood Village is proposed along Tasker Road in the Lakeside area, in
the vicinity of the Bowman Library. This small-scale commercial area is sensitive to the
existing character and scale of the location, the library, the adjacent lake, and the historic
and natural resources in this area. The orientation of this neighborhood commercial shall be
on the southern side of Tasker Road, opposite to the library and lake and shall be planned
with a new street network providing the framework for the new neighborhood. The Bowman
Library is an invaluable community facility for the area shall provide a focal point for future
Southern Frederick Area Plan 30
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
development. The commercial land uses shall be of a general scale and context similar to
projects such as Creekside. High quality building and site design is a priority. Within the
core area of the neighborhood village, residential uses are only permitted as an accessory
component. An area of residential land use is proposed to surround the core neighborhood
village area that shall be of a higher density.
ARTRIP NEIGHBORHOOD VILLAGE
The Villages at Artrip contains approximately 170 acres of land designed as a neo-traditional
village community. This neighborhood village was designed to provide an urban feel in what
was historically a rural setting. This development was rezoned in 2006 and is anticipated to
include a mix of 900 single family homes and townhouses, over 100,000 square feet of
retail, as well as numerous restaurants and office space. A future elementary school is
proposed in this area which will provide a focal point and valuable community resource for
this area of new development.
WARRIOR& TASKER NEIGHBORHOOD VILLAGE
The Warrior and Tasker Neighborhood Village proposed along Warrior Drive, adjacent to the
intersection of Warrior Drive and Tasker Road. This small-scale commercial area is sensitive
to the existing residential character of the area, in particular the scale of the adjacent
neighborhoods, yet seeks to build upon the existing commercial character of this
intersection. The commercial land uses shall be of a general scale and context similar to
projects such as Creekside. High quality building and site design is a priority. Residential
uses are only permitted as an accessory component of the neighborhood village commercial
land uses within the core area.
DEFINED RURAL AREAS
The Southern Frederick Area Plan has sought to further define the boundary between the
rural and urban areas of the community. As noted, the above areas of proposed land use
combine to frame the southern boundary of the County's urban areas. In addition, the rural
areas to the east of Route 522 south further define the boundary of the County's urban area
in this location. The plan provides enhanced recognition of Double Church Agricultural and
Forestal District, which provide for a clear separation between the County's rural and urban
areas.
ARMEL RURAL COMMUNITY CENTER
The general location of the Armel Rural Community Center was identified in earlier versions
of the Comprehensive Plan. This community center, along with several other centers, have
an important role to play as service centers for the County's rural areas.
The Southern Frederick Area Plan seeks to further define the Armel Rural Community Center
and promote future consideration of this unique area; future development of this area
should ensure that it remains distinct from the general urban development occurring in the
Southern Frederick Area Plan 31
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
urban areas of the Plan. Future policies for this rural community center should reflect the
characteristics of the center and the desires of its residents; this could be achieved through
a broader effort to create small area plans for all of the County's Rural Community Centers.
SHERANDO-LAKE FREDERICK TRAILWAY
A new multi-purpose path is envisioned to be constructed from the planned lakeside path at
Lake Fredrick westward along Crooked Run, connecting into future planned land uses and
ultimately intersecting with a Sherando Park path. This pathway surface should be
consistent with that of the Sherando Park paths and trails. The new pathway will connect
large segments of planned Southern Frederick trails and provide additional public to access
Lake Frederick's lakeside trails and other constructed facilities. Such an environmental and
recreational resource would provide an excellent example for other recreational
opportunities in the County.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Outside of the Sherando Center and Neighborhood Villages described above, the residential
land uses in the Southern Frederick study area are defined in two main categories:
• R4 — these are generally reflective of existing residential densities at approximately 4
units per acre.
• R6 — these are slightly higher residential densities that may fall within the 6-12 units
per acre range (this is generally attached house and may also include multifamily
and a mix of other housing types).
These densities are necessary to accommodate the anticipated population growth of the
County, with the intent of focusing residential land uses in the urban areas
The residential land uses east of Route 522 South within the study area are envisioned to be
rural aFea residential in character. Route 522 South may generally be considered as the
boundary between the urban areas and rural areas within the eastern part of this study
area. This provides a transition area to the Opequon Creek and Wrights Run and to the
well-established rural character of adjacent Clarke County.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
The business development section of the Plan provides recommendations that are a+se
intended to implement the Comprehensive Plan by promoting the efficient utilization of
existing and planned land areas and transportation networks. Further, the recommendations
promote commercial, industrial, and employment land use areas to assure the County's
desired taxable value ratio of 25 percent commercial/industrial to 75 percent residential and
other land use is achieved.
Southern Frederick Area Plan 32
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
The Plan provides for new industrial #&Nk and employment center areas to match the
Frederick County Economic Development Authority's (EDA) vision for this portion of
Frederick County.
The Plan identifies a prime area for mixed use development, the Sherando Center, to
capitalize on future commercial and employment opportunities. In addition, areas are
identified for neighborhood village commercial use, to accommodate the needs of existing
residential communities.
The relocation of the Exit 307 Interchange on Interstate 81 provides a significant
commercial opportunity that the Plan seeks to take advantage of by identifying the
interstate commercial at Exit 307 area of land use.
The business development recommendations desirable business types to draw to the area.
Including, but not limited to:
• Light Industrial/High Tech targeted businesses
• Lodging / Event / Dining along the Route 522 corridor and at the interstate
• Fast-Casual Dining (EG - Panera, Chipotle)
• Higher-end Dining (chain and Local businesses) as well as casual pubs and cafes
• Premium Grocery & Retail in the UDA Center area (EG - Wegman's)
The business development group also provided the following general comments:
• All areas should be designed to promote/support pedestrian and bike access, making
this a walkable community. This will decrease reliance on cars and enable residents
to more readily access business and employment centers.
o To expand the pedestrian & bike access the undeveloped land zoned as
Natural Resource / Flood Plain should include walking/biking trails.
• Identify ways to leverage abundant supply of natural gas in the RT 522 corridor.
• Determine if incentives to rezone to commercial uses for landowners with agricultural
zoned property should be made available.
• Promote development of small parcels of land that already contain residential
structures along transportation corridors for business purposes, examples of which
may include doctors, dentist offices, and other professional offices. Promotion could
be in the form of incentives or credits to offset the cost of site improvements and
transportation improvements required by the site development.
• Restaurants and community based businesses such as dry cleaners, convenience
stores, and the like, should be located close to and easily accessible by car or by foot
to the areas targeted as industrial, commercial and office uses. This could also be
within the Sherando Center or neighborhood village commercial areas which are
located within accessible distances from these areas.
• Identify ways to draw more light manufacturing and targeted economic development
businesses to the area around the FBI facility off Tasker Rd.
• The Southern Frederick area would be a natural fit for various outdoor events and
festivals, especially once road and walking path networks have been established and
Southern Frederick Area Plan 33
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
more lodging and dining options are available. This type of business has a low
impact on the environment and provides an external infusion of revenue.
Specific implementation steps have been identified which would further promote business
development opportunities in the Southern Frederick Area Plan. This is consistent with those
identified in the Senseny/Eastern Frederick County Urban Area Plan. These include:
• The creation of a future land use revenue incentive program that could provide
property owners with the ability to sell residential density rights to keep their
property available for future employment, commercial, or industrial land use as
recommended by the Comprehensive Plan.
• Incentivize the property owner with automatic placement of the property into the
Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) if a rezoning application is processed for
future employment, commercial, or industrial land use if capacity and existing
infrastructure exists.
• Assist property owners with applying for State funding to assist in the financing of
major road infrastructure needed to serve the development project. Additionally,
provide for County-managed support of the major road infrastructure projects to
streamline the approval process for project design and construction management.
• Incentivize the property owner through the implementation of expedited rezoning
processes for future employment, commercial, or industrial land use as
recommended by the Comprehensive Plan.
• The creation of new Zoning Ordinance requirements that facilitate more intensive
Floor to Area Ratios (FAR), and height allowances for future employment,
commercial or industrial land use, especially in the urban centers.
• The County should support and partner with various athletic organizations to sponsor
regional or state tournaments and events using existing facilities to promote tourism
in support of existing hotels, restaurants, and attractions.
TRANSPORTATION
In support of the new areas of land use, a transportation network has been proposed which
relates to the location and context of the areas of land use, promotes multi-modal
transportation choices and walkability, furthers the efforts of the Win-Fred MPO, and
reaffirms the planning done as part of the Route 277 Triangle Area plan. In this study there
is a direct nexus between transportation and land use.
The relocation of Interstate 81, Exit 307, provides a new orientation for the County's
primary road system, and provides new opportunities to create a transportation network
which supports the future growth of the community in the right locations. This area is also
heavily influenced by the ongoing and future improvements to I-81 Exit 310 and the future
extension of Warrior Drive. Minor modifications are proposed to the alignment of the Tasker
Road flyover of I-81. As Warrior Drive is extended north and connection with future Route
37 is made, the current Route 37 access point with Tasker Road will be disconnected,
resulting in a significant shift of traffic flows in this area.
Southern Frederick Area Plan 34
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
As in all transportation elements of the Plan and area plans, all development of new
roadways, development along existing roadways and upgrades to existing roadways is
planned to implement bicycle and pedestrian accommodations to grow the County's
accessibility to all forms of transportation users.
Access management is a significant consideration of this study and general transportation
planning in Frederick County. This concept is supportive of providing for key connections to
the south. The use of frontage roads, minor collector roads, and inter parcel connections to
bring traffic to common shared access points is promoted in order to improve safety and
efficiency of the County transportation network.
Roundabouts will be considered as a priority preference for intersection design.
Roundabouts are particularly effective when used in series and when used where
intersection spacing may be an issue.
The context of the collector road network is proposed to be significantly different with the
focus being placed on a more walkable and multi-modal street thoroughfare design. The
change in context is based upon classification of road and to ensure compatibility with
adjacent land uses and community goals. Particular attention should be paid to street
network within the urban centers. The surrounding land use, site design, and building
design are features that will help create context and promote the creation of new
communities, places, and focal points. Attention should also be provided to the context of
the street in the neighborhood village commercial areas to ensure that these prominent
locations are safe and accessible to all modes of transportation. Bicycle and pedestrian
accommodations should be fully integrated into street designs. Appropriately designed
intersection accommodations should include pedestrian refuge islands and pedestrian
actualized signals.
More specific transportation considerations for Sherando Park include taking a proactive
approach in creating safe interconnected routes to the park from the adjacent areas and
creating additional access points. Traffic calming across the entire frontage of Sherando
Park is warranted with special attention placed on providing a safe and efficient main
entrance to the park. As usage of this regional park facility continues to grow this is an
increasing need.
Consistent application of Comprehensive Plan goals to achieve an acceptable Level of
Service (LOC) on area roads and overall transportation network, LOC C or better, should be
promoted. Further, efforts should be made to ensure that additional degradation of the
transportation beyond an acceptable LOC shall be avoided. Consideration of future
development applications within the study area should only occur when an acceptable LOC
has been achieved and key elements and connections identified in this plan have been
provided.
The Eastern Road Plan calls for White Oak Road between Tasker Road and Route 277 to be
an improved two-lane roadway. While this improvement has partially taken place for the
northern portion of the roadway near Tasker Road, the southern portion of White Oak Road
Southern Frederick Area Plan 35
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
to the south remains a winding and narrow roadway which may be difficult and costly to
improve. The area plan identifies improvements to White Oak Road in this area which may
include its realignment near the Wrights Run stream crossing, passing to the east of and
behind the existing residences fronting White Oak Road.
Other recommendations from the transportation group;
• Emphasize the role of the State and the development community in the
implementation of the planned road system.
• Use modeling to determine lane needs based upon build out of planned land uses but
consider plans of neighboring localities when making recommendations. Consider
the needs of bicycle users and pedestrians in the following ways:
o Continue to plan for multi-modal street designs that take all users into
consideration.
o Within residential neighborhoods, this would mean that sidewalks be used,
and cyclists share the roads. Use of striping that defines parking bays or
cycling areas would be preferred.
o On collector roadways or higher, make use of separated multi-use paths at
least 10 feet in width.
o Incorporate wide shoulders or bike lanes into roadways that have budgetary
or right-of-way limitations. This would be viewed as a step toward the
ultimate goal of a separated facility.
o Make use of paved shoulders with striping on rural roadways as a long-term
measure. Rural roadways would be defined by traffic count or as roadways
outside of the UDA that are not part of the Primary System (ex. Route 522).
o Bike paths should be constructed on the same grade as the adjacent
roadway.
o Bike path maintenance should be addressed by adjacent property owner
groups whenever possible.
o Continue to enforce improved access management with redevelopment or
new development. This includes, but is not limited to, entrance location and
spacing as well as traffic signal location and spacing.
• Roundabout use is preferred over signalization of intersections where traffic control is
needed.
• Attractive median treatments (as alternative to standard grey concrete median)
other than grass or other landscaping should be considered when maintenance
agreements with VDOT cannot be achieved. Treatments should be reasonably
consistent.
• Street sections could be modified due to DCR changes specific to drainage
requirements.
Southern Frederick Area Plan 36
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
NATURAL RESOURCES, HISTORIC RESOURCES, AND PUBLIC FACILITIES
NATURAL RESOURCES
Frederick County should be a community that understands, values, and protects its natural
resources.
The natural resources element of the Southern Frederick Area Plan should directly correlate
to the Natural Resources chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. To that end, Frederick County
should focus on the creation of greenways, stream valley parks, and stream buffers around
waterways. Shared use trails should be constructed that connect these features to other
public facilities. Consideration should also be given to creating linear parks with shared use
trails along major streams, particularly the Opequon Creek, with buffering vegetation
appropriate for preventing erosion, filtering pollutants, and providing wildlife habitat.
Recommendations from the Natural Resources Committee are:
• Shared use trails should provide connections to other shared use trails as well as
other public facilities in the study area.
• New construction within the study area should take into account the natural
resources located on and around their property. The County should ensure that when
new developments are planned, that connectivity of greenways is included through
the project.
• Preserve and maintain existing natural wetlands, woodlands, and grasslands to the
maximum feasible extent to provide wildlife habitats for animals and plants. Buffer
wetlands and creeks using latest water management principles to promote
environmental protection of those localities, stabilize stream banks, and promote
such protective steps during residential development throughout the South Frederick
area.
• All types of urban open spaces like greenways, squares, plazas, urban parks,
playgrounds, and street medians should be considered as part of urban development
planning and implemented wherever reasonable.
• Ensure that stormwater is managed in accordance with the County's Erosion and
Sediment Control Ordinance and Virginia's storm water Requirements, and work to
implement Low Impact Development (LID) measures where appropriate.
• Provide for best storm water management practices at urban centers, residential
developments, and industrial areas to facilitate environmental protection.
• Protect floodplains and steep slopes from unsuitable uses and recognize their value
for stormwater management and ecological functions.
Southern Frederick Area Plan 37
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
• Ensure that with new development, people and wildlife are protected from unhealthy
levels of noise and light.
HISTORIC RESOURCES
Frederick County should recognize and protect the historic structures and sites within the
study area.
Sensitive Natural Areas, including historic areas, are shown on the land use map for the
study area. The historic element of the Southern Frederick Area Plan should directly
correlate to the Historic Resources chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. To that end, the
rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, or restoration of historic structures should be increased and
incentivized. The Comprehensive Plan calls for the adaptive reuse of historic structures and
therefore, future development applications that have historic resources on the property
should incorporate those resources into development.
Recommendations from the Historic Resources Advisory Board are:
• Significant structures and properties shown with a sensitive natural/historic
designation should be buffered from adjacent development activity.
• Require archaeological surveys to be conducted prior to development, particularly
any that involve battlefield areas, homesteads, Indian encampments, and
waterways.
• The Rural Landmarks Survey should be updated and maintained regularly in order to
keep current the inventory of structures older than fifty years.
• There are at least six historic sites and markers in the Southern Frederick Area Plan.
Those sites and markers should be buffered from adjacent development activities
and preserved in their original condition whenever possible during any development
or future land use planning exercises.
• The Melvin Sandy house is located immediately adjacent to Sherando Park and would
be ideal for use as an element of the park. In the event that the sites could not, it
would be appropriate for the site to develop in a way to protect any structures or
features.; accessibility to the park is encouraged.
• Frederick County should assist property owners that want to register their properties
with the State or National Register of Historic Places.
• Increasing shared use trails throughout the study area would give emphasis to the
preservation and rehabilitation of nearby historic sites and structures. Developments
should be encouraged to incorporate and/or convert historic properties or sites into
recreational elements, including shared use trails, parks, and museums. The Zig-Zag
Southern Frederick Area Plan 38
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
trenches should be preserved and connected via a linear park/trail network to the
Crosspointe development.
• Development of any urban center in the study area should provide for the
integration, preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, or adaptive reuse of any historic
structures and sites located within the boundaries of the project.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The importance of public spaces and facilities within the study area need-5 to be recognized
and incorporated into future development.
The public facility element of the Southern Frederick Area Plan should directly correlate to
the Public Facilities chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. The public facilities element should
also expand upon the existing Comprehensive Plan and ensure that opportunities for needed
public facilities, which are not currently identified, are not overlooked.
Recommendations from the public facilities group are:
• The need for future facilities for Schools, Fire & Rescue, and Parks and Recreation
should be identified in this Plan, the CIP and incorporated into development
proposals as appropriate.
• The County should focus on the development of the north side of Sherando Park.
• Ensure connectivity with existing or proposed bicycle or pedestrian transportation
facilities wherever possible.
• Pedestrian facilities should be constructed that connect neighborhoods to school and
park facilities to promote accessibility and walkability.
• Trails should be planned and constructed that connect Sherando Park, the proposed
South Frederick Parkway and Lake Frederick (see the Sherando-Lake Frederick
Trailway example described in the land use section).
• A trail network should be constructed around the Lake at the Bowman Library.
• Linear parks should be constructed along creeks where permissible due to
topography.
• A new fire & rescue station is needed within the study area; this facility would
provide an additional focal point to the White Oak Woods Neighborhood Village area.
• The 13-acre parcel owned by the Frederick County adjacent to Bass Hoover
Elementary should be planned as a combined school, park and recreation facility.
• New schools identified in this Plan and in the CIP should be pursued and may be
used as focal points for future community development. Existing schools should also
be upgraded as identified in the CIP.
Southern Frederick Area Plan 39
APPENDIX I - AREA PLANS
ZONING AMENDMENTS TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN
REVISED/MORE FLEXIBLE B2 OVERLAY CONCEPT
Neighborhood Village Commercial areas are envisioned to be compact commercial centers
that focus and complement the surrounding neighborhoods, are walkable and designed at
a human scale, and which are supported by existing and planned road networks.
Residential uses within the neighborhood Villages are only permitted as an accessory
component of the commercial land uses within the core area. However, the residential
uses are allowed in a variety of configurations and are not just limited to the
second and third floors of commercial buildings. They may also be located in
separated buildings, again provided that they are accessory to the commercial
uses. This provides a greater amount of flexibility with the residential design, while still
affording the commercial land uses primary status. Previously, residential land uses were
only permitted on the second floor and above commercial buildings.
TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN ZONING CLASSIFICATION
This flexible zoning classification is intended to enable Neighborhood and Urban Village
Centers, or a part thereof, to be developed.
