It is generally located along Hollow Road(Route 707)to the north, Muse Road(Route 610) and Gold Orchard Road (Route 708)to the east. 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.

Proposed Changes: Current Proposed 2020-2025 District 2025-2030 District Acreage 1,147.84+/- acres 1,361.09 +/- acres Number of Parcels 17 25 Number of Property 01 02 Owners Magisterial Gainesboro Gainesboro District s Land Use Residential &Agricultural Residential &Agricultural Page 2 of 2 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. The Planning Commission (PC) unanimously recommended approval of the 1,361.09+/-acre 2025-2030 South Timber Ridge Agricultural and Forestal District at their meeting on July 2, 2025. Following a public hearing, a decision regarding the 2025-2030 South Timber Ridge Agricultural and Forestal District by the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. 2025-2030 South Timber Ridge Agricultural & Forestal District PUGH LN 50 r W9,1ygM 0@ Z 00 HOLL $0 Ow'RD ' W Z N 259 fle, biapgW `" �Q FGP � HAMPSHIRE COUNTY O yk, l �y!
