PUBLIC HEARING
Rezoning #03-25 for Royal King Truck Trailer Parking (Royal King Truck Stop LLC)
Conditional Use Permit #04-25 for Royal King Truck Trailer Parking (Royal King Truck Stop LLC)
Action – Recommend Denial
M. Tyler Klein, Senior Planner, reported this is a request to rezone 4.35+/- acres (one
parcel) from the B2 (General Business) Zoning District to the B3 (Industrial Transition) Zoning District
with proffers to develop tractor truck and tractor truck trailer parking and a request for a condition u se
permit (CUP) to develop tractor truck and tractor truck trailer parking on three parcels totaling 13.64+/-
acres. He shared a zoning map and a long range land use map of the property. He noted, if approved, the
Applicant could develop 158 truck and truck trailer parking spaces as outline on their generalized
development plan (GDP). Mr. Klein explained, Rezoning #02-96 (Dr. Raymond Fish) was approved on
June 12, 1996 to rezone the subject properties from RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District to the B2 Zoning
District, and B2 to B3 Zoning District with proffers. The approved proffer statement only requires a
contribution to local fire and rescue services and does not limit what uses may be developed.
Mr. Klein continued, the proposed rezoning (and CUP) does not appear to implement uses
typically associated with the business land use designation outline in the Comprehensive Plan. Rather the
proposed zoning district (B3) and CUP use, tractor truck, and tractor truck trailer parking is typically
associated with industrial land uses. The intent of the B3 district as stated in the ordinance is to provide for

heavy commercial activities, involving larger scale marketing or wholesaling, in locations that are separate
from but in the vicinity of business and industrial areas (§165-604.01). He noted, given the proximity to
the interstate (exit 321) and adjoining industrial uses, the use may be appropriate if impacts are properly
mitigated. Mr. Klein explained the Plan does not identify any planned transportation improvements on the
subject properties. Access to the site is proposed from the terminus of Hopewell Lane; A commercial
entrance plan was approved by VDOT on December 3, 2024. He noted, use of the property (property
subject to the rezoning) is proffered to be restricted to only tractor truck and tractor truck trailer parking.
Mr. Klein shared the proffer statement and the generalized development plan (GDP). Mr. Klein presented
the condition for the CUP as recommended by Staff:
1. A site plan in accordance with the requirement of Article VIII shall be submitted
to and approved by Frederick County prior to the establishment of the use. The
site plan should address additional regulations for specific uses for Tractor Truck
and Tractor Truck Trailer Parking contained in §165-204.24 and comply with all
review agency comments.
2. Any expansion or modification of this use shall require a new CUP.
3. A minimum 25-foot-wide buffer shall be provided along the property boundary
with Interstate 81. The buffer shall also include the elements of a full screen
described in §165-203.02(B)(2), including a landscaped area at least 10 feet in
depth with a mix of plantings and a six-foot-high opaque fence.
Mr. Klein concluded, Staff is seeking two (2) recommendations to forward to the Board of
Supervisors for approval:
1. A recommendation on the proposed rezoning application to rezone one parcel
totaling 4.35+/- acres from the B2 Zoning District to the B3 Zoning District with
proffers.
2. A recommendation on the proposed conditional use permit application for tractor
truck and tractor truck trailer parking on three (3) parcels totaling 13.64+/- acres.
Chairman Stowe called for anyone who wished to speak regarding this Public Hearing to
come forward at this time. One (1) member of the public spoke in support of the proposal. No one else
came forward to speak and Chairman Stowe closed the public comment portion of the hearing.
The Planning Commission expressed several concerns including perimeter screening along
Interstate 81, security, hours of operation, stormwater management, lighting, surface materials, and traffic
impacts to Hopewell Road. The Applicant addressed many of the concerns raised and clarified how they
intended to operate the facility regarding access to the parking area and security. Mr. Klein clarified that
many of the concerns, particularly stormwater management, would be reviewed at the time of site plan.
Upon a motion made by Commissioner DeHaven and seconded by Commissioner Aikens
to recommend denial
BE IT RESOLVED the Frederick County Planning Commission recommends denial of Rezoning #03-25
for Royal King Truck Trailer Parking (Royal King Truck Stop LLC) and Conditional Use Permit #04-25
for Royal King Truck Trailer Parking (Royal King Truck Stop LLC).

Minutes of April 16, 2025
Ordinance Amendment to the Frederick County Code additions to define chicken coops and provide
additional regulations for backyard chickens and chicken coops in the RP (Residential Performance),
R4 (Residential Planned Community), and R5 (Residential Rec reational Community) Zoning
Districts.
Action – Recommend Approval
Kayla Peloquin, Planner II, reported this is a proposal to amend Chapter 165 – Zoning
Ordinance to allow backyard chickens in the RP (Residential Performance), R4 (Residential Planned
Community), and R5 (Residential Recreational Community) Zoning District; to include additional
regulations for backyard chickens and chicken coops; and to add a definition for chicken coop. She noted
this amendment was initiated at the request of a member of the Board of Supervisors. Mrs. Peloquin shared
the current standard and the proposed standard for backyard chickens.
Mrs. Peloquin concluded, the Board of Supervisors discussed this item on February 26,
2025, and sent it to the DRRC and authorized subsequent public hearings at the Planning Commission and
Board of Supervisors. The Board suggested adding clarification to the regulation stating chicken waste
must be properly disposed of. The DRRC discussed the item on March 27, 2025, and was supportive of
the proposed amendment and added clarification to the regulation regarding chicken waste disposal. The
DRRC asked Staff to consider a delay in enacting the ordinance should the amendment be approved as
many HOA’s may not address chickens because chickens have always been a County Zoning Violation in
the RP, R4, and R5 Zoning Districts. Mrs. Peloquin noted that private covenants, deed restrictions, and
HOA regulations would apply but would not be enforced by the County.
Chairman Stowe called for anyone who wished to speak regarding this Public Hearing to
come forward at this time. Two residents spoke in favor of the amendment citing environmental and
educational benefits of backyard chickens. No one else came forward to speak and Chairman Stowe closed
the public comment portion of the hearing.
The Planning Commission Members shared their concerns with the bird flu, implementing
a permit process, and adjustment of lot size to a minimum. Mr. Pearson noted permits are not included in
this draft at this time, but it could be added. A motion was made by Commissioner Brannon, seconded by
Commissioner Whitacre to recommend approval as presented; further discussion took place on the item. A
motion was made by Commission Kozel, seconded by Commissioner Markert to approve with a permit
requirement in the RP, R4, and R5 Zoning Districts; this motion was carried forward for approval. A
motion was made by Commissioner Thomas, seconded by Commissioner Aikens to eliminate the RP from
the amendment and limit it to the R4 and R5; this motion was carried forward for approval. A motion was
made by Commissioner Aikens, seconded by Commissioner Thomas to restrict the amendment to 3 or more
acres; this motion failed. A motion was made by Commissioner Markert, seconded by Commissioner
Thomas for the amendment to include ¾ acre or larger; this motion failed. A motion was made by
Commissioner Kerns, seconded by Commissioner Thomas to delay implementation of the ordinance for 6
months to allow HOA’s to make adjustments as needed to comply; this motion was carried forward for
approval.
Upon a motion made by Commissioner Brannon and seconded by Commissioner Whitacre
to adopt the ordinance as presented, excluding the RP Zoning District, adding a permit process, and delay
implementation of the ordinance for 6 months
BE IT RESOLVED the Frederick County Planning Commission recommends approval of the Ordinance
Amendment to the Frederick County Code additions to define chicken coops and provide additional

District Characteristics:
Agricultural & Forestal Significance:
The District is 90 percent agriculture (livestock, orchards, and crop harvest) and 10 percent open
space/woodlands. The land within the District is rural in nature.
Lakes/Ponds/Streams:
The District lies primarily within the Abrams Creek drainage area. The establishment of this
District will further assist with managing the quality of the County’s water resources.
Prime Agricultural Soil:
The largest amount of prime agricultural soils located within the District is Frederick-Poplimento.
The District generally varies from a broad rolling hills to the west and, gently rolling hills to the
north and east. This District lies within the Abrams Creek watershed and water is available from
ponds, wells and springs. Most of the areas within the District are in pasture, orchards, livestock,
and few areas are woodland.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides guidance when
considering land use actions. This District is located in the Western Frederick Land Use Plan with
Route 522 to the north, Route 37 to the east and the Round Hill Community bound to the south.
The Plan identified 120 acres of that study area for potential business uses and the remaining 525-
acres within the study area was proposed to remain rural.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the Urban Development Area. The
Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in
Agricultural and Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan supports the renewal of the District
for it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning
efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural land
through the year 2030.
Staff Comments:
This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations. Once renewed, the 1,014.45+/-acre
District will be valid through August 2030. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee
(ADAC) unanimously recommended approval of the 1,014.45+/- acre 2025-2030 Albin
Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting on April 15, 2025.
Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission to forward to
the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.

District Characteristics:
Agricultural & Forestal Significance:
The District is 90 percent agricultural (livestock, orchards, and crop harvest) and 10 percent open

Lakes/Ponds/Streams:
The District lies primarily within the Hiatt Run drainage area. The establishment of this District
will further assist with managing the quality of the County’s water resources.
Prime Agricultural Soil:
The largest amount of prime agricultural soils located within the District is Frederick-
Poplimento.
The District generally varies from rolling hills to ridges to the north and west and flat and gentle
rolling hills to the south and east. This District lies within the Hiatt Run watershed and water is
available from ponds, wells and spring.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides guidance when considering land use
actions. The location of this District lies outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer
and Water Service Area (SWSA) and is not part of any land use plan or study by the County. It is
noted that the Stonewall Industrial Park is located on the south boundary of this District. The area
of the County where this District is located is intended to remain rural. The intent of the Rural
Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s economy, and to maintain
the rural character of areas outside of the UDA.
The Eastern Frederick County Road Plan is the major transportation component of the
Comprehensive Plan. This road plan identifies the future transportation needs within Frederick
County. A major component of this road plan is Route 37, which will provide direct limited east
to west access around the City of Winchester. This proposed roadway will need, at a minimum, a
350-foot right-of-way. Staff would note that a property lies within the right-of-way for future
Route 37.
Staff Comments:
This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations. Once renewed, the 936.03+/--acre District
will be valid through August 2030. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC)
unanimously recommended approval of the 936.03+/- acre 2025-2030 Apple Pie Ridge
Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting on April 15, 2025.
Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission to forward to
the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.

Agricultural & Forestal Significance:
The District is 80 percent agriculture (livestock and crop harvest) and 20 percent mature
woodlands. The area within the District is rural in nature.
Lakes/Ponds/Streams:
The District lies primarily within the Cedar Creek drainage area. The establishment of this District
will further assist with managing the quality of the County’s water resources. There is a large pond
on the parcel.
Prime Agricultural Soil:
The largest amount of prime agricultural soils located within the District is identified as
Hazleton.
The District generally varies from broad rolling hills to the west and, gently rolling hills to the
north and east. This District lies within the Cedar Creek watershed and water is available from
ponds, streams, and springs. Most of the area within the District is in pasture, livestock, and
woodland.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County (Comp Plan) provides guidance when considering
land use actions. The location of this proposed District lies outside the Urban Development Area
(UDA) and Sewer and Water and Service Area (SWSA) and is not part of any land use plan or
study by the County. The land use within this proposed District of 489.91+/- acres is residential
and agricultural. The current land use should remain in its present land use of pristine condition
with land use of agricultural and residential.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the Urban Development Area. The
Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in
Agricultural and Forestal District. The Comprehensive Plan supports the additions and renewal of
the Districts, for it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range
planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing reserves of agricultural
land through the year 2030.
Staff Comments:
This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations. Once renewed, the 489.91+/-acre District
will be valid through August 2030. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC)
unanimously recommended approval of the 489.91+/- acre 2025-2030 Back Mountain
Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting on April 15, 2025.
Following a public hearing a recommendation from the Planning commission to forward to
the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.

District Characteristics:
Agricultural & Forestal Significance:
The agricultural operations in the District are 75 percent livestock and cultivation of hay and 25
percent open space/woodlands. The area within the District is rural in nature.
Lakes/Ponds/Streams:
The District lies primarily within the Stephens Run drainage area. The District will assist with
managing the quality of the County’s water resources.
Prime Agricultural Soil:
The prime agricultural soil located within the District is Blairton.
The District generally varies from a broad rolling valley to flat lands, and water is available from
ponds, wells and springs. Most of the soil is suited to a wide variety of farms uses. Most of the
area is in pasture, cultivated crops and hay with few woodland areas.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides guidance when considering land use
actions. The Plan identifies this District as an area that is outside the Urban Development Area
(UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). The District will be impacted by future
transportation improvements as noted within the Route 277 Land Use Plan approved by the Board
of Supervisors. The parcels in this District have no land use designation, which indicates the area
should remain rural.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the Urban Development Area. The
Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in
Agricultural and Forestal District. The Comprehensive Plan supports the additions and renewal of
the Districts, for it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range
planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural
land through the year 2030.
Staff Comments:
This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations. Once renewed, the 693.87+/-acre District
will be valid through August 2030. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC)
unanimously recommended approval of the 693.87+/- 2025-2030 Double Church Agricultural
and Forestal District at their meeting on April 15, 2025.
Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission to forward to
the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.

should remain in its present condition.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the Urban Development Area. The
Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in
Agricultural and Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan supports the renewal of the proposed
District because it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural
land through the year 2030.
Staff Comments:
This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations. Once renewed, the 1,076.90+/-acre
District will be valid through August 2030. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee
(ADAC) unanimously recommended approval of the 1,067.90+/- acre 2025-2030 Long Creek
Farm Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting on April 15, 2025.
Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission to forward to
the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.

General District Location
The Red Bud District is generally located along Red Bud Road (Route 661) within the
Stonewall Magisterial District.
State Code Requirements & District History
Chapter 43, Section 15.2-4300 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, requires that

Page 2 of 3
Agricultural & Forestal Significance:
The predominant agricultural operations in the District are 75 percent agriculture (livestock, horses
and crop harvest) and 25 percent open space/woodlands. The area within the District is rural in
nature.
Lakes/Ponds/Streams:
The District lies primarily within the Redbud Run drainage area, and partially within the Hiatt
Run drainage area. The District will assist with managing the quality of the County’s water
resources.
Prime Agricultural Soil:
There is a limited amount of prime agricultural soils located within the District, which are Blairton,
Carbo, Frederick, Guernesy and Massanetta.
The District generally varies from a broad rolling valley to the west of Devils Backbone, to very
steep forested land on the eastern parcels and along Redbud Run. This District is within the
Redbud Run watershed and water is available from ponds, wells and springs. Most of the soils,
with the exception of those on the steeper slopes, are suited to a wide variety of farm uses. These
steeper slopes are mostly forested and are heavily wooded. Most of the area is in pasture,
cultivated crops and hay with few woodland areas.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides guidance when considering land use
actions. The District lies in an area that is outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer
and Water Service Area (SWSA). The area is located within the limits of the Northeastern Land
Use Plan. Approximately half of the District is designated as a Developmentally Sensitive Area
in the Northeast Land Use Plan. The remaining parcels have no land use designation, which
indicates the area should remain rural.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the UDA. The Comprehensive
Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in Agricultural and Forestal
District. The Plan supports the addition/renewal of the District, for it provides an opportunity for
the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning efforts for the management of their
operations, while providing reserve of agricultural land through 2030. The location of this District
lies outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and
is not part of any land use plan or study by the County. The Stonewall Industrial Park is located
on the south boundary of this District. The land use within the District is residential and
agricultural. The current land use should remain in its present land use of pristine condition with
land use of orchards, agricultural, and residential.

The Eastern Frederick County Road Plan is the major transportation component of the Comp Plan.
This road plan identifies the future transportation needs within Frederick County. A major
component of this road plan is Route 37, which will provide direct limited east to west access
around the City of Winchester. This proposed roadway will need, at a minimum, a 350-foot right-
of-way. There is one (1) parcel within this proposed District which will be affected by future Route
37.
Staff Comments:
This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations. Once renewed, the 1,204.43+/--acre
District will be valid through August 2030. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee
(ADAC) unanimously recommended approval of the 1,204.43+/-acre 2025-2030 Red Bud
Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting on April 15, 2025.
Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission to forward to
the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.

Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides guidance when considering land use
actions. The location of this proposed District lies outside the Urban Development Area (UDA)
and Sewer and Water and Service Area (SWSA) and is not part of any land use plan or study by
the County. The land use within District is residential and agricultural. The current land use should
remain in its present land use of pristine condition with land use of agricultural and residential.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the Urban Development Area. The
Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting land in an Agricultural and Forestal
District. The Comprehensive Plan supports the renewal of the District, for it provides an
opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning efforts for the
management of their operations, while providing reserves of agricultural land through the year
2030.
Staff Comments:
This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations. Once renewed, the 221.50+/-acre District
will be valid through August 2030. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC)
unanimously recommended approval of the 221.50+/-acre 2025-2030 Reliance Agricultural
and Forestal District at their meeting on April 15, 2025.
Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission to forward to
the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.

District Characteristics:
Agricultural & Forestal Significance:
The agricultural operation in the District is 90 percent agriculture (orchard, and crop harvesting)
and 10 percent open space/woodlands. The area within the District is rural in nature.
Lakes/Ponds/Streams:
The District lies primarily within the Opequon Creek and Stephens Run drainage area. The District
will further assist with managing the quality of the County’s water resources.
Prime Agricultural Soil:
The largest amount of prime agricultural soil located within the District is Frederick-Poplimento.
The District generally varies from rolling hills to ridges to the north, west, south and east. This
District lies within Opequon Creek watershed and water is available from ponds, wells and
springs.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides guidance when considering land use
actions. The District is outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer and Water Service
Area (SWSA) and is not part of any land use plan or study by the County. The current land use
should remain in its present land use with orchards, agricultural, and residential.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the Urban Development Area. The
Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in
Agricultural and Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan Supports the renewal of the District
for it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning
efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural land
through the year 2030.
Staff Comments:
The Agricultural District Advisory Committee recommended that the four (4) properties listed
below be removed from District. These properties do not meet the criteria to be included within an
agricultural district. The properties are part of the Bartonville Solar project. This project is
operating under Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and more of an industrial use than an agricultural
use.

74-A-18A=80.00+/- Ac 85-A-1=122.29+/-Ac
The total number of 369.82+/-acres would be removed from the District. This would bring the
District to a total of 6,275.66+/-acres.

District Characteristics:
Agricultural & Forestal Significance:
The predominant agricultural operations in the District are 90 percent agriculture (livestock, horses
and crop harvest) and 10 percent open space/woodlands. The area within the District is rural in
nature.
Lakes/Ponds/Streams:
The District lies primarily within the Gainesboro drainage area. The District will further assist
with managing the quality of the County’s water resources.
Prime Agricultural Soil:
The largest amount of prime agricultural soil located within the District is Weikert-Berks-Blairton.
The District generally varies from rolling hills to ridges to the north, west, south and east. The
District lies within the Gainesboro watershed and water is available from ponds, wells and springs.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides guidance when considering land use
actions. The location of the District lies outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer
and Water Service Area (SWSA) and is not part of any land use plan or study by the County. The
land use within the District is agricultural and residential and nature. The current land use should
remain in its present condition with land use of orchards, agricultural, and residential.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the Urban Development Area. The
Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in
Agricultural and Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan supports the renewal of the District
because it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning
efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural land
through the year 2030.
Staff Comments:
This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations. Once renewed, the 1,361.09+/--acre
District will be valid through August 2030. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee
(ADAC) unanimously recommended approval of the 1,361.09+/-acre 2025-2030 South
Timber Ridge Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting on April 15, 2025.
Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission to forward to
the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.

General District Location
The District is located within the Gainesboro Magisterial District and is generally located on
Wright Road (Route 661) and Apple Pie Ridge Road (Route 739).
State Code Requirements & District History
Chapter 43, Section 15.2-4300 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, requires that
Agricultural and Forestal Districts be reviewed by the local government every five years after
establishment. The Board of Supervisors decides to approve, approve with modifications, or
deny the proposal to establish or renew a District. The District was added in 2023.

Agricultural & Forestal Significance:
The District consists of approximately 70 percent forestry uses and 30 percent open space, pasture,
and orchard. The area within the proposed District is rural in nature.
Lakes/Ponds/Streams:
A portion of the District lies within the head waters of Sylvan Springs Run and drainage area. This
will further assist with managing the quality of the County’s water resources.
Prime Agricultural Soil:
The soils for this area are Hazleton and Laidig-Weikert. Both soils are typically strongly sloping
to very steep and found on mountaintops, side slopes and ridges; these soils tend to be well drained
and consist of sandstone, quartzite, and shale. While the subject properties are primarily forested,
these soils are not classified as prime agricultural soils.
The District is located along Great North Mountain, west of Interstate 81. The topography ranges
from steeply sloping along Great North Mountain to rolling along Wrights Road (Rt.661).
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan of Frederick County provides guidance when considering land use
actions. The location of the District lies outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer
and Water Service Area (SWSA) and is not part of any land use plan or study by the County. The
land use within the District is agricultural and residential and nature. The current land use should
remain in its present condition with land use as agriculture and residential.
The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County’s
economy and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the Urban Development Area. The
Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in
Agricultural and Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan supports the renewal of the proposed
District because it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range
planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural
land through the year 2030.
Staff Comments:
This renewal provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long-range
planning efforts for the management of their operations. Once renewed, the 974.30+/-acre District
will be valid through August 2030. The Agricultural District Advisory Committee (ADAC)
unanimously recommended approval of the 974.30+/-acre 2025-2030 White Hall
Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting on April 15, 2025.
Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission to forward to
the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.
