Tyler Klein, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Western Frederick Land Use Plan (WFLUP) – Update & Next Steps DATE: March 1, 2024 Project Background The Western Frederick study area of the County provides a planned transition from the urban and suburban nature of the City of Winchester and the rural areas west of Route 37. The study (planning) area encompasses approximately +/-6,118-acres of the County generally west of the City of Winchester, including areas east and west of Route 37, north and south of Route 522 (North Frederick Pike), north and south of Route 50 (Northwestern Turnpike), and north from Cedar Creek Grade (Route 622). The western most sections of the study area extend along Route 50 to Poorhouse Road (Route 654) and just east of Wardensville Grade (Route 608). Properties included in the study area are also within the Stonewall, Gainesboro, and Back Creek Magisterial Districts. The Western Frederick Land Use Plan incorporates three previously studied planning areas: Round Hill Community (last updated 2010), Western Jubal Early (2006), Route 37 West (1997) and includes the area between the City of Winchester and Route 37 and north/south of Route 522 known as “Sunnyside” (area not previously studied). Public Outreach & Project Milestones Staff have been active over the last 11 months engaging with the community in several ways to understand desired future land uses, the capacity for growth in this area of the County, and development challenges that should be addressed in the plan update (full summary included in attachments). Staff conducted in-person interviews throughout the fall of 2023 with prominent landowners, local developers, and representatives of various organizations and departments (including Frederick Water) about this area of the County. During January and February 2024, staff conducted fourteen (14) town hall style community meetings with various civic, professional, and other groups and engaging with more than 217 citizens (including 65 students). Meetings with students also included a “visual preference survey” to identify desired patterns of development for this specific demographic. In addition to the in-person meetings, an online survey was available to the public through the project website and was promoted at the town hall meetings, via email to stakeholder groups, and via social media. As of February 26, 2024, 205 survey responses were received. The project website also includes a project introduction video produced by staff on how to connect, with more than 122 views. Future phases of the project include plan formulation and draft review by CPPC; additional community meetings; final plan review by CPPC, the Planning Commission (PC) and Board of Supervisors (BOS); and plan adoption (late-2024). Conclusion & CPPC Action At this time, staff are seeking feedback from the advisory committee on the public input gathered so far and to identify potential changes to the land use plan for this area of the County. Attached for consideration are 3 CPPC Discussion WFLUP - Update Page 2 the summaries/tabulations of the web-based survey responses, student visual preference survey, and town hall meeting comments. Included for reference is a list of all the key stakeholders engaged and the town hall presentation slides. Following the CPPC discussion, staff will prepare draft revisions to the plan text and maps to-be-presented at a future meeting. Questions regarding the area plan update may be directed to staff.

The goal should be a proper mixture of conservation screening with residential growth, and concentration of commercial able to support specific traffic patterns (e.g. commuters coming from WVA to Winchester area for work). The landscape is such that communities could be created within hollows and between the hills to obfuscate their visual impact on the terrain, while providing expansion location(s) for the influx of bedroom commuters within the county.

The junction of 522 and 37 is particularly vexing with Fox Drive to the South side and Apple Pie Ridge to the North, and no meaningful synchronization of the lights. Sometimes traffic on 522 must stop at each of the four lights.

We were driven out of Nokesville VA over 25 years ago when a quarter million homes were built on the multiple farmlands and forests. We worked eight miles away in New Baltimore (on 29-211, between Warrenton and Gainesville). Over just a few years, our commute grew from about 15 minutes to about 30-60 minutes. Our real estate taxes, on 10 acres in a farmhouse and a barn went from reasonable to far more than our mortgage. In particular, I remember being seriously chastised by a "come here" because our Ruritan club had the audacity to close Nokesville's mainstreet (Fitzwater Drive) for a parade, a community fun day, and a major fund raiser for our two schools and elderly citizens. At another fundraiser, held on property adjacent to our Nokesville business, I was talking to the editor of a local newspaper. We were interrupted by several non-local people who were on a bicycle tour of our rural roads that were lined with active farms. They complained about odor from our farms. I made the headline by telling them they were always welcome to visit and enjoy our dairy air. The 2200 acre dairy farm across the road from our home is now in the process of becoming a massive data center. 22603 Live Manage traffic and congestion, improve connectivity, and provide new opportunities for bicyclists and pedestrians., Preservation of rural land and natural features., Mitigating impact of new development on existing community facilities (schools, emergency response).

I have yet to see someone tear down a house or a business and replace it with farmland. Please consider using underutilized retail space such as Sunnyside Plaza for needed affordable housing such as townhouses. Avoid more large single-family home developments that don't serve many residents and eat up our farmland. We can make better use of spaces that are already zoned for industrial and commercial development without carving into the little remaining open space in Frederick County. Chipping away at open land would lead within 20 years to a mixed-use area resembling all the other parts of our county. Consider our current parks: Clearbrook listens to I-81 traffic as does Jim Barnett in the city, Sherando is better but it's a small park in an area with a lot of residents. Western Frederick County needs parks, open spaces, and protected undeveloped lands for outdoor enjoyment. I know there is pressure to raise revenues, but when adopting a longer perspective I can't see how industrial and commercial growth will improve quality of life compared to making better use of underutilized areas that have already been developed, making wiser choices in expenditures, and protecting our limited natural resources. 22603 Both Enhance the County's tax base and expand opportunities for employment., Business creation and expansion., Provide a variety of housing types (single-family detached, townhomes, apartments)., Mix of commercial uses and residential densities.

Need to balance growth with what the school system can handle or be willing to support the school system financially. A lot of focus on our growth seems to be centered around retirement population but if you don't start to focus on the younger/family population you will lose important members of the community. You need the younger families to support the retirement community. The retirement community typically is not going to be working at the hospital or volunteering as fire fighters. You need the young family population to support the necessary services that are used by the entire community. Would love to see the county have a large community center with workout equipement, gyms, indoor pools, etc. My college age kids at this point do not plan to return to our area due to lack of services offered to the younger population. 22603 Both Mitigating impact of new development on existing community facilities (schools, emergency response).

Part of what makes this area of the county a desirable place to live relates to its agriculture, natural expanses, and freedom from urban restraints such as high volumes of traffic, light pollution and travel noise. Winchester City and other areas of FC offers a broad and growing retail environment that is more than satisfying and with opportunities in places for redevelopment to bring in new business without disrupting more natural habitat. I believe our counties identity and culture should continue to be celebrated through preserving our land, green spaces, inviting others to FC to enjoy this balance as well.

Generally, remain the same (i.e. no major changes to the existing pattern of development). The county, as a whole, needs to be more proactive with their decisions of supporting the growing county. Do not agree to build more homes and housing developments when the schools are already bordering on capacity. More homes equals more families, thus more children. The county has a history of reacting, often not always positively, when it’s late and they’re already behind. More people equates to more traffic which can lead to more accidents, so that raises the need for fire, rescue and law enforcement personnel. I do not like the idea of the western part of the county becoming further populated. However I’m also wise enough to know that it will happen regardless of my opinion or feelings. But all departments need to collaborate together as a team, share deeper communication and work together for the better of the county. There has been too much blame shaming, finger pointing, and nonsensical rhetoric.

Having a balance between nature and buildings I think would not only keep individuals here, but draw others to the area. 41 Visual Preference Survey To gain insight into what the community “prefers” about potential development patterns. 142 What to Consider? •Do you like or dislike about the image? •What about the image led you to this choice? •What could be improved to make the development pattern more appealing? •Should the development pattern remain unchanged? •There are no right or wrong answers. 243 344 445 546 2/8/20XX 647 748 849 2/8/20XX 950 Western Frederick Land Use Plan Town Hall Meeting Comment Summary Revised February 27, 2024 • Allow people in without ruining what is here. • Habitat preservation; keeping portions throughout and around development. • Restrictions or limits on industrial development; pollution control factors. • Public parks needed west of Route 37. • Preserve areas west of Route 37. Makes a place worth living. • Quality of life and maintaining that. More trails and parks. • Changing our attitude towards development and careful selection of development. • Many people chose to live in rural areas and want to keep it that way. • Don’t want to see restrictions on farmers’ ability to use property in the future for retirement, etc. • Be selective in types of development allowed. Creative solutions to address growth (housing). • Concerns with increased traffic and lack of improvements to transportation infrastructure; clarify who pays for improvements and timing. • Many changes since the 1990’s; development pressure on this area of the County. • Want preservation of Civil War sites and historic properties; public use of historic sites, tourism; civil war sites contribute to local economy. • Need more rural land protection and conversation; specific need for more conservation easements and investment by County since these are permanent. • No more growth! • Sunnyside looks more like City than the County. • Concerned with pace of growth, especially new residential development. • Need for community facilities in this area of the County – parks, schools’ expansion, fire and rescue services. • The traffic light at Fox Drive and North Frederick Pike gets stopped due to Sheetz traffic entering the first entrance, closest to North Frederick Pike. A resident sat, 6th in line, to make a left-hand turn and either missed the light or was stopped in the intersection. She stressed safety concerns for this light. • Residents at West Minister are active adults and enjoy walking. The access past CVS, across the intersection, and into Martins is dangerous and mainly prohibitive. Resident suggested a zebra stripe crosswalk and installing a crosswalk signal. Environmentally minded people trying to reduce carbon footprint would prefer to walk. • Residents asked if there was any acreage still available in the Business Parks. The claim of businesses stating they need buildable land/lots. The resident was curious as to how much Business/Commercial Land was available. • Resident questioned the Storage facility newly installed where the old hotel was. What and why were the reasonings behind the allowance/placement. One commented it was nice in appearance the other commented on its visual effect so close to the roadway (522). • Sunnyside Plaza is a good location for a mix of residential and commercial. The building currently would be considered a blight area. What, if any, are the plans to address this as a county owned facility 51 Western Frederick Land Use Plan Town Hall Meeting Comment Summary Revised February 27, 2024 • Suggestion to create a small building/area for Laurel Ridge Community college in or around the Sunnyside area. The current location is not accessible for people who may also be working in the city. • Walkers and bicyclers using 522 do not have any streetlights. This is a safety concern. • Desire for a more upscale grocery store, such as Trader Joe’s or Wegmans • Concern over traffic situation and water along Cedar Creek Grade with new homes being built. • Question on planning time horizon – retirement communities are growing now due to the baby boomers, in 10-15 years, that population will need more care and not be able to drive, but the next group of seniors will be smaller – need to keep that in mind. 52 Western Frederick Land Use Plan (WFLUP) Town Hall Presentation February 2024 53 Agenda •Planning 101 & The Comprehensive Plan •Western Frederick Land Use Plan •Planning Area Overview •Project Timeline & Milestones •Community Feedback •Wrap Up 254 What is Planning?
