The :County's agricultural zoning districts were, subsequently.combined to form the =RA (Rural.Areas) District upon adoption of an. amendment to the Frederick .County Zoning.Ordinance•on May 10, 1989. The corresponding revision of the zoning &map.resulted in the re- rnapping:,of the subject property-and all other A -1 and A 2°zonedland o' the RA District. The balance of parcel 3,3 7A7144 not zoned RA was zoned EM during the County's comprehensive downzoning RZ #:13- 80Fcompleted °in 1980. The most- recent rezoning from RA to EM,in the vicinityof this property occurred- with, RZ #010 -9.8 when W.S. Frey rezoned 31.74 acre& at the southern .end of `their property. Numerous, adjustments to the boundaries of the parcels in this area have occurred in recent years. As, part, of the,, most recent rezoning; the 1 applicant provided a plat which.depicts a zoning boundary within parcel 33 -A -1.44. This.line appears to, accurately- reflect the existing, boundary of the 'EM zoned land. The County agreed. that the location identified on the plat resolves, any,ambiguity as to the .zoning boundary.

As we discussed, planting trees on the%property currently used for ball -fields 4and parking will reduce the amount of,parking;available for the Ciearbrook Park, ball fields which have been generously leased to the County for use by'the_Parks and Recreation Department. In the best interest of the Clearbrook Park ball field and park patrons-,we are. requesting C armeuse submit':a proffer _amendment which would postpone, planting trees in the area leased to the County until, a' fixed`time after Carmeuse requests the County vacate the land and relocate the.ball fields. Please advise if Carmeuse is willing to "submit a revised proffer. We'appreciate Carmeuse's support of the Parks and Recreation Department.

Ruddy, AICP, Deputy Planning Director Reviewed Planning. Commission: 10/17/12 Board of Supervisors- 11/14/12 Action Pending Pending PROPOSAL: To-revise the proffers associated with Rezoning RZ #01 -11. The revision relates to the . "Site Development" section of the proffers, specifically; Section 2.2 and the timing of the planting of the,landscaping buffer adjacent to those areas currently leased and used by Frederick. County as.apark and citizen's convenience center. LOCATION:. The properties, with addresses of 508 Quarry'Lane, 3004 Martinsburg Pike and 3180 Martinsburg Pike, are located.on`the east side of Route 11 between the intersections of Bruce_town Road (Route 672) and Walters, Mill Lane (Route 836). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - & STAFF CONCLUSION FOR THE 10/17/12, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The purpose of this application is to request a minor proffer revision to ensure that a conflict does not exist in the interpretation of the Proffer Statement; Section 2.2. More specifically, the proffer language revision would allow the Applicant the ability to delay the installation of the proffered buffer identified in Exhibit 2 until one year after Carmeuse terminates its agreement with Frederick County for the use of the leased area. "Exhibit'.2 ", as revised; identifies the "Delayed Landscape Berm Buffer" area with a.red dashed line. Frederick County currently leases approximately eleven acres of the previously rezoned property as part of a longstanding agreement with the quarry. The entry and access road for Clearbrook Park and the Frederick. County's Citizen's Convenience Center, and multiple parking spaces for patrons of Clearbrook Park, could potentially be impacted by the installation of the berm prior to the conclusion of the County's use of the leased property: In the original rezoning, the Applicant proffered to plant trees ,in the location identified on Exhibit 2 within one year from the date of the zoning approval Strict interpretation of the Proffer would set ' December 14, 2012 as the date the buffer and landscaping. installation would have to be completed. All parties are in agreement to the modification. Staff would support the minor revision to the proffer statement. A recommendation regarding this rezoning application to the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. The applicant should be prepared to adequate&, address all concerns raised by the Planning Commission. ; .

The County's agricultural zoning districts were subsequently combined to form. the RA (Rural Areas) District upon adoption of an amendment to the Frederick ,County Zoning Ordinance. on May 10, 1989. The corresponding revision of the zoning;map•resulted in'the re- mapping of the subject property and all other A -1 and.A -2 zoned land to the RA District. The balance of parcel -33 -A -144 not zoned RA was zoned. EM during the County's comprehensive ,downzoning;RZ #13 -80 completed in 1980. The most recent rezoning from RA to EM inthe vicinity of this property occurred with RZ #.010 -98 when W. S. Frey rezoned 31.74 acres at 'the southem.end of their property. Numerous adjustments to the boundaries of the parcels .in this area have occurred in •recent, years. As ;part of the most,-recent. rezoning, the applicant provided a plat which depicts a zoning, , boundary•within parcel 33 -A -144. This line appears to accurately reflect the; existing boundary of the EM zoned land. The County agreed that the location identified, on the plat resolves any ambiguity;as to the zoning boundary. The previous rezoning, RZ #01.4 1, rezoned :92 acres from RA (Rural .Areas) District to EM (Extractive Manufacturing) :District, with proffers. 2) Comprehensive Policy Plan The 2030 Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public: document that serves as the community's,guid`e for.,making decisions -- regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key components of community fife.
