Upon motion made by Commissioner Kriz and seconded by Commissioner Triplett, the Planning Commission minutes of August 3, 2005 were unanimously approved as presented. COMMITTEE REPORTS Development Review & Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) — 08/25/05 Mtg. Commissioner Thomas reported that the DRRS met and generally discussed possible future amendments and various items in the ordinance that need attention. Frederick County Planning Commission Page 1597 Minutes of September 7, 2005 F T -2 - Transportation Committee — 09/06/05 Mtg. Commissioner Kriz reported that the Transportation Committee held a discussion regarding possible updates to Frederick County's Eastern Road Plan. PUBLIC HEARING Proposed Amendments to the Frederick County Code, Chapter 165, Zoning, Article V, RA (Rural Areas) District, Section 50; Article IV, Supplementary Use Regulations, Section 48.10; and Article XXII, Definitions, Section 156. These amendments would permit and establish supplemental design criteria and define government services offices in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District. Action — Recommended Approval Planning Director Eric R Lawrence reported that the proposed amendment would introduce "government services offices" to the Rural Areas Zoning District and would establish design and performance standards to help guide where these government offices would be located. Mr. Lawrence explained that the recent process of identifying locations for the County's future public safety building and National Guard armory has made this proposed amendment both important and timely. He said that by establishing performance standards within the supplemental regulations section of the ordinance, the County could accommodate these governmental uses and direct their location within the SWSA, which has established criteria for road conditions. He said the performance standards specify that these uses shall follow the B2 Zoning District regulations, specifically dealing with parking, landscaping, buffers, and setbacks. A member of the Commission commented that a government operation may not always be a B2 use; for example, the use could be engineering or construction, which is not an allowed use in a B2 Zoning District. Mr. Lawrence replied that the government agency will be viewed as a government use, regardless of the activity taking place. He explained that the government agency will not be categorized as a "health service" or as "engineering services," but will be categorized as a "government use." Another Commissioner raised a scenario where a leased building is filled with government employees; if the lease expires and the workers leave, what happens to the building? Mr. Lawrence replied that another government use would be allowed by -right; however, if the building is to be used for some other use, it would not be appropriate, and a rezoning would be required. A member of the Commission inquired if there was anything in the proposed amendment that would preclude a police substation outside of the UDA in an area not served by public water and sewer. In addition, would there be an allowance for a government agency to sublet to a non-governmental agency. Mr. Lawrence replied that the use would have to be located within the SWSA, which is the County's urban growth area. He said that it would capture anything in the Stephens City and Brucetown communities; however, it would not capture something in the west part of the County, such as the Gore or Gainesboro communities. Mr. La,ATence added that a government agency could not sublet to a non-governmental agency. Frederick County Planning Commission Page 1598 Minutes of September 7, 2005 0 @ -3 - Commissioners asked about various scenarios where a government agency might subcontract work to a non-governmental agency or to non-governmental employees. They commented that there is an ever- increasing amount of out -sourcing taking place and this should be considered. There were no public comments. Upon motion made by Commissioner Thomas and seconded by Commissioner Knz, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of the proposed amendments to the Frederick County Code, Chapter 165, Zoning, Article V, RA (Rural Areas) District, Section 50; Article IV, Supplementary Use Regulations, Section 48.10; and Article XXII, Definitions, Section 156 to permit and establish supplemental design criteria and define government services offices in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District. (Note: Commissioners Watt, Unger, and Ours were absent from the meeting.) PUBLIC MEETING Request for Waiver and Approval of Subdivision 917-05 of GreyWolfe, Inc., on behalf of David Shore, applicant, and Anthony Cook, property owner. The applicant is seeking a landscaping easement waiver of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, Article VI, RP (Residential Performance) District, Section 165-63.C, Open Space Requirements. A waiver is also sought for curb, gutter, sidewalk, and streetlight requirements under the Frederick County Code, Article V, Design Standards, Section 144.17.L, Streets, Section 144-18, Sidewalks and Pedestrian Walkways, and Section 144-19, Streetlights. The subject property is located on Meadowbrook Drive (Rt. 1021), 300 feet south from the intersection with Highlander. The property is also identified with P.I.N. 8513-1-12A in the Opequon Magisterial District. Action — Recommended Approval Zoning and Subdivision Administrator, Mark R. Cheran, reported that the Board of Supervisors approved The Meadows subdivision on August 9, 1972. The proposed subdivision of 1.717 acres will create five single-family detached traditional lots with public water and sewer, ranging in size from 12,422 to 19,805 square feet. He said this subdivision appears to meet the requirements for a waiver of the MDP requirement and the applicant has been granted such; however, the ordinance requires that lots with less than 15,000 square feet provide curb, gutter, sidewalks, street lights, and open space. In addition, these lots must abut a public street. Mr. Cheran said the applicant is seeking exemption from these requirements because the adjacent properties in The Meadows subdivision are of similar size and do not have the identified improvements. Mr. Cheran stated that when considering the waiver requests, the Planning Commission should consider the surrounding properties and their existing improvements. He said that staff is seeking administrative approval authority for this subdivision. He recapped the actions needed by the Commission, as follows: Frederick County Planning Commission Page 1599 Minutes of September 7, 2005 Z� The applicant is seeking a waiver from the open space requirements, enabled by Section 165-63C. (This open space waiver is at the discretion of the Planning Commission.) o The applicant is seeking an exception from the following requirements: streets (144-17); curb and gutter (Section 144-17L); sidewalks (Section 144-18(1)); and streetlights (Section 144-13). (T:ieseexceptions may be granted by the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation from the Planning Commission.) • The staff is seeking administrative authority to approve the requested subdivision. (This authority may be granted by the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation from the Planning Commission.) Mr. Gary R. Oates, Land Surveyor with GreyWolfe, Inc., was acting as the representative for this application. In response to questions from the Commission on what has legally occurred to allow the applicant to cross Ewings Lane, Mr. Oates explained that information has been provided to the County's attorney, Mr. Lawrence R. Ambrogi. Mr. Oates stated that the public right-of-way strip, between the proposed lots and Ridgefield Avenue does not have clear ownership, but the properties adjoining this strip have right of use. He said that the applicant will need a waiver to go across this public right-of-way to access the state -maintained right-of-way, which is Ridgefield Avenue. Mr. Oates explained that when the Ridgefield subdivision was created, a state -maintained road, Ridgefield Avenue, was built adjacent to Ewings Lane. He said that instead of taking both roads side-by-side all the way out to Rt. 277, the curve on Ewings Lane was created to tie into Ridgefield Avenue in order to give everyone quicker access to a paved road. Mr. Oates added that the existing right-of-way out to Route 277 still remains. He noted that driveways coming off of these new lots will not obstruct anyone's use of Ewings Lane and, if someone wants to take Ewings Lane all the way to Route 277, they could do so. Mr. Oates next proceeded to answer questions from the Commission about drainage and storm water management. Mr. Oates stated that a drainage and grading plan was submitted to the County and approved. He said that flooding in this area is partially caused by a large Swale on the property which is both overgrown and full of ruts. He said their plan was to clean the swale and install a large culvert and piping in order to move the water away quicker. Chairman DeHaven called for public comments and the following person came forward to speak: Mrs. Margie Gray, an adjoining property owner, spoke about the flooding problems she and her neighbors have experienced over the years. Mrs. Gray was afraid the water problems would get worse, if this property was developed. She wanted to know who was going to be responsible, if the applicant's drainage plan didn't work and the run-off got worse. Mrs. Gray said this particular area was left vacant to handle the run-off and that is why it was designated as a park area. Mr. David Shore, a partner with Mr. Anthony Lee Cook in this property, believed the storm water management and grading work they plan to do on this property will alleviate the drainage problems the neighbors have been experiencing. Mr. Shore said that he and his partner would be legally liable, if the development of this propertywould create additional problems. He believed the proposed homes would have a positive affect on property values in the neighborhood. Mr. Oates returned to the podium to answer additional questions from the Commission. Conunissioner Thomas commented that proposed Lot 1 would need substantial grading; he also believed an improved layout would result, if there were only four lots instead of five, eliminating one of the lots on Meadowbrooke Drive. Commissioner Thomas was also concerned about the wording of a note placed on the site Frederick County Planning Commission A Page 1600 0 V T Minutes of September 7, 2005 0 � -5— plan indicating that no grading will take place except for utility installation. Mr. Oates said that he would be willing to revise the language and resubmit to the Planning Department. Planning Director, Eric R. Lawrence added that the County's Public Works Department is requiring site plans for each individual lot at the time of building permit application. Mr. Lawrence R Ambrogi, the County's attorney, stated that he had reviewed all of the legal documents and spoke with prior owners' attorneys and there is no one else who owns the property. He said that in his opinion, Mr. Cook had followed all the necessary procedures to legally acquire the property. members. Issues regarding the storm water management remained unresolved for some of the Commission Upon motion made by Commissioner Morris and seconded by Commissioner Kriz, BE IT RESOLVED, by a majority vote, the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby grant a waiver from the open space requirements, enabled by Section 165-63C; and does hereby recommend approval of an exception from the requirements for: streets (Section 144-17), curb and gutter (Section 144-17L), sidewalks (Section 144-18(1)), and streetlights (Section 144-19); and does hereby reconunend that staff be granted administrative authority to approve the requested subdivision. The vote was as follows: YES (TO APPROVE): Straub, Morris, Light, Kriz, Triplett, Manuel, Wilmot, DeHaven NO: Gochenour, Thomas (Commissioners Watt, Unger, and Ours were absent from the meeting.) Subdivision Request 925-05 of Stuart and Laurie Putnam to subdivide a 4.802 -acre parcel in the R5 (Residential Recreational Community) District. The property is located at 320 Shawnee Trail and is identified with P.I.N. 49A02-3-20 in the Back Creek Magisterial District. Action — Recommended Approval Zoning and Subdivision Administrator Mark R- Cheran reported that this request is for the subdivision of a 4.802 -acre lot into two lots consisting of 2.9452 acres and 1.8553 acres. Mr. Cheran explained that this property had been zoned R5 (Residential Recreational Community) District when Frederick County adopted zoning in 1967; he said that the subdivision ordinance requires that land divisions within the R5 District, without an approved master development plan, be presented to the Board of Supervisors for final approval. He said that the original subdivision where this tract of land is located is known as Shawneeland and has no approved master development plan. He said the proposed subdivision of land is in keeping with the general lot sizes located in Shawneeland; no VDOT comments were needed, as the road system in Shawneeland is private. Commissioners inquired about the locations for the drainfields for the existing and proposed new lot. Mr. Cheran commented that both lots have received Health Department approval as buildable lots. Frederick County Planning Commission Page 1601 Minutes of September 7, 2005 0(�ti Mr. Stuart Putnam, the property owner and applicant, came forward and pointed out the drainfield areas for the two lots. There were no public comments. Upon motion made by Commissioner Straub and seconded by Commissioner Kriz, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of Subdivision Request #25-05 of Stuart and Laurie Putnam to subdivide a 4.802 -acre parcel, located at 320 Shawnee Trial in Shawneeland, into two lots consisting of 2.9452 acres and 1.8553 acres. (Note: Commissioners Watt, Unger, and Ours were absent from the meeting.) ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Charles S. DeHaven, Jr., Chairman Eric R. Lawrence, Secretary Frederick County Planning Commission Page 1602 Minutes of September 7, 2005 po; I r � �� �J REZONING APPLICATION #15-05 LEON LARGENT ESTATE Staff Report for the Planning Commission Prepared: September 19, 2005 Staff Contact: Michael T. Ruddy, Deputy Planning Director This report is prepared by the Frederick County Planning Staff to provide information to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to assist them in making a decision on this application. It may also be useful to others interested in this zoning matter. Unresolved issues concerning this application are noted by staff where relevant throughout this staff report. Reviewed Action Planning Commission: 10/05/05 Pending Board of Supervisors: 10/26/05 Pending PROPOSAL: To rezone 30.01 acres from RA (Rural Areas) District to M1 (Light Industrial) District with proffers. LOCATION: The property is located off Airport Road (Route 645), approximately 1.2 miles from the intersection of Airport Road and Front Royal Pike (Route 522), directly southeast of the Airport property. MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Shawnee PROPERTY ID NUMBER: 64-5-1 PROPERTY ZONING: RA (Rural Areas) District. PRESENT USE: Vacant ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & PRESENT USE: North: RA (Rural Area) Use: Winchester Regional Airport South: RA (Rural Area) Use: Residential East: M1 (Light Industrial) Use: Vacant West: M1 (Light Industrial) Use: Light Industrial / Vacant PROPOSED USE: M1 (Light Industrial) Industrial warehouse Rezoning # 15-05 — Leon Largent Estate September 19, 2005 Page 2 REVIEW EVALUATIONS: Virginia Dept. of Transportation: The documentation within the application to rezone this property appears to have a measurable impact on Routes 645 and 728. These routes are the VDOT roadways which have been considered as the access to this property. VDOT is satisfied that the transportation proffers offered in the Largent Property rezoning application dated June 22, 2005 addresses transportation concerns associated with this request. Before development, this office will require a complete set of construction plans detailing entrance designs, drainage features, and traffic flow data from the I.T.E Trip Generation Manual, Seventh Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right-of-way needs, including right-of-way dedications, traffic signalization, and off-site roadway improvements and drainage. Any work performed on the State's right-of-way must be covered under a land use permit. This permit is issued by this office and requires an inspection fee and surety bond coverage. Fire Marshal: Extension of municipal water supplies for firefighting. The Proffer model indicates an impact of $94,166 for Fire & Rescue services. The tax credit potential goes directly into the General Fund and is not distributed to the impacted agency. Plan approval recommended. Millwood Station Volunteer Fire & Rescue: Ensure proper hydrant space. 24 hour access to facility by way of KNOX Box system. Donation check would be nice! Public Works Department: Please see letter dated May 9, 2005, from Harvey E. Strawsnyder, Jr., P.E., Director of Public Works Frederick -Winchester Service Authority: Wastewater treated at Opequon Water Reclamation Facility capacity demand = 3,000 gallons/day Sanitation Authority: No comment. Frederick -Winchester Health Department: Health Department has no objection to the request as stated as long as public water and sewer are utilized. Department of Parks & Recreation: No comment. Frederick County Public Schools: Based on the information provided that states no residential units will be part of the rezoning, there will be no impact to the school population upon build -out Winchester Regional Airport: The proposed rezoning request for the Largent Property is in conformance with the Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan and the proposed zoning is compatible with airport operations. It appears that this rezoning will not impact business operations of the Winchester Regional Airport. Frederick County Attorney: Comment to be provided. Rezoning #15-05 — Leon Largent Estate September 19, 2005 Page 2 Historic Resources Advisory Board: Upon review of the proposed rezoning, it appears that the proposal does not significantly impact historic properties and it is not necessary to schedule a formal review of the rezoning application by the HRAB. The National Park Service Civil Ware Sites Study, the Rural Landmarks Survey and the Comprehensive Policy Plan do not identify any significant historic structures or battlefields located on or adjacent to the property. Planning & Zonina: 1) Site History The original Frederick County Zoning Map (U.S.G.S. Winchester Quadrangle) identifies this property as being zoned R-1 (Residential Limited). The parcels were re -mapped from R-1 to A- 2 (Agricultural General) pursuant to the County's comprehensive downzoning initiative (Zoning Amendment Petition #011-80), which was adopted on October 8, 1980. 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. 2) Comprehensive Policy Plan The Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to protect and improve the living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a composition of policies used to plan for the future physical development of Frederick County. [Comprehensive Policy Plan, p. 1-1] Land Use The parcel for which this rezoning is being requested is located within the County's Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). The Urban Development Area and Sewer and Water Service Area define the general area in which more intensive forms of planned commercial and industrial development will occur. In addition, the Largent property is located within the area encompassed by the Route 50 East Corridor Land Use Plan and is located within the Airport Support Area. The Route 50 East Corridor Land Use Plan envisions office and industrial land uses on the property and recognizes the potential for additional commercial growth in the vicinity of the Winchester Regional Airport and Interstate 81. The Airport Support Area discourages further residential rezoning and seeks to ensure the feasibility of continued airport use and future airport expansion. Business and industrial uses should be the primary uses in the airport support area. The Largent property application proposes a rezoning of light industrial uses. The addition of the approximately thirty acres of light industrial land is consistent with the land use plan and would further the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Rezoning # 15-05 — Leon Largent Estate September 19, 2005 Page 4 3) Site Suitability/Environment The Route 50 East Corridor Land Use Plan recognizes the need to address stormwater management and protect the environmental features associated with drainage ways, steep slopes, and existing woodlands. The site is located south of the recently relocated Airport Road, Route 645, and north. of Buffalo Lick Run. A portion of the property actually crosses Buffalo Lick Run. The site contains areas of steep slopes and drainage associated with Buffalo Lick Run. The applicant has made efforts with this rezoning application to address the environmental feature associated with Buffalo Lick Run by designating and proffering a conservation area on the southern portion of the property. This has been done in a manner consistent with the environmental easement that presently exists on the property to the west which contains a similar environmental corridor easement provided with the development of the Airport Business Park. The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey does not identify any potentially significant historical resources or historic district on, or within, the proximity of this acreage. 4) Potential Impacts A. Transportation The applicant has evaluated the transportation impacts associated with the development of the property. In conjunction with the Virginia Department of Transportation it was determined that the level of analysis provided by the applicant in evaluating the transportation elements of this rezoning was appropriate. The applicant has estimated that the project could result in 1378 vehicle trips per day. As the applicant has not proffered any specific uses with this rezoning application, the potential exists for a greater trip generation which the applicant has addressed in the form of a proffer described below. The Virginia Department of Transportation recently completed the Airport Road, Route 645, relocation project which realigned and improved Airport Road in the vicinity of the Largent Property. In addition, the intersection of Airport Road, Route 645, and Victory Lane, Route 728, was improved significantly with the provision of a roundabout to effectively and safely move traffic at that location. In looking beyond the transportation enhancements in the immediate vicinity of the project, the applicant considered the intersection of Airport Road, Route 645, and Route 522 and the intersection of Victory Lane, Route 728, and Route 50. The applicant has proffered a $20,000 contribution for signalization construction and road improvements that may be utilized at the aforementioned intersections and roadways in the vicinity of the project. The applicant has further committed to providing additional traffic analysis should the traffic volume from the project exceed 1500 vehicle trips and to implementing any improvements identified in the future TIA. This proffer addresses the potential for a user that would generate additional trips by ensuring any additional impacts could be mitigated. Rezoning # 15-05 — Leon Largent Estate September 19, 2005 Page 5 Presently, access to the Largent property is provided over property currently owned by the Airport Authority. This property was obtained to facilitate the Airport Road, Route 645, relocation project and is partially encumbered with a stormwater management facility. It is anticipated by VDOT that the ownership of this portion of land will be deeded to VDOT as part of the completion of the road project and as surplus to the needs of the Airport Authority. At such time that this occurs the applicant will have direct access to Airport Road and will have the ability to construct the required commercial entrance to facilitate the development of the Largent rezoning. The proffered commitment to provide the commercial entrance that meets VDOT standards ensures that the appropriate access to the site would be secured prior to the development of the site. The provision of this access will likely include the modification of the stormwater management facility adjacent to Airport Road. B. Sewer and Water It is anticipated that the thirty acre site would generate approximately 15,000 gallons per day of sewage flow and 30,000 gallons per day of water usage. Water would be provided by the Frederick County Sanitation Authority and wastewater generated by the development of this site would be treated at the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility. C. Community Facilities The Frederick County Fiscal Impact Model is a tool that is used to identify the capital costs associated with various types of development proposals presented to the County. The projected costs to Fire and Rescue, Public Schools, Parks and Recreation, Library, Sheriff s Office and for the Administration Building are calculated and provided to the applicant for their consideration. The Fiscal impact model was run based upon the development of the thirty acre parcel in its entirety to provide the County and the applicant with an overall understanding of the impact of the project. The Fiscal Impact Model output for this project indicates a net positive fiscal impact. However, in recognition of the impacts that may be realized by the community to the Fire and Rescue services, the applicant has proffered a contribution in the amount of $0.015 per square foot of structural development on the property. 5) Proffer Statement — (Dated 09/02/05) The Applicant has not provided a generalized development plan as no new road improvements are to be provided. The Applicant has provided an exhibit that identifies the site and the Conservation Area described in the Proffer Statement. A) Transportation. The applicant has proffered a monetary contribution in the amount of $20,000 for signalization construction and road improvements in the vicinity of this project. The applicant has proffered an additional TIA, and the construction of improvements necessary to implement the TIA, should the initial site development plan for the property include a land use that would generate Rezoning 915-05 — Leon Largent Estate September 19, 2005 Page 6 more than 1500 vehicle trips per day. Finally, the applicant has proffered the construction of a commercial entrance to the property which ensures that any access issues pertaining to the land located between Airport Road and the Largent property are addressed. B) Conservation Area The applicant has proffered that a strip of land that contains a portion of Buffalo Lick Run and its associated floodplain will be preserved as a conservation area providing a continuation of the environmental stream corridor established with the Airport Business Park. The conservation area is identified on the map attached to the Proffer Statement. C) Monetary Contribution. The applicant has proffered a monetary contribution in the amount of $0.015 per building square foot to Frederick County to offset the impacts generated on Frederick County's Fire and Rescue Services. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 10/05/05 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The Largent Property rezoning application is generally consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan as described in the staff report. The Planning Commission should ensure that the impacts associated with this rezoning request have been fully addressed by the applicant. Followin,a the required public hearing, a recommendation regarding this rezoning application to the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. The applicant should be prepared to adequately address all concerns raised by the Plannink Commission.

This parcel contains a stormwater management basin and a limited access drive 12 feet wide from Airport Road to the property under consideration. Indicate how the applicant plans to construct an acceptable access road from Airport Road to the proposed property. 2. Refer to Site Suitability - Wetlands: The statement indicates that no wetlands have been identified on the site. However, previous wetland delineation studies performed for adjacent properties have identified wetlands within the Buffalo Lick Run Flood Plain. Indicate if a wetland study has been performed or if a wetland study will be performed prior to submittal of a master development plan. Refer to Site Suitability - Steep Slopes: The narrative indicates that steep slopes have been identified on the site. Provide a topographic map delineating these areas. 4. Refer to Water Supply: Provide an estimate of water usage based on the anticipated development highlighted in the proffer model (198,000 square feet). Refer to Drainage: The discussion of stormwater design indicates that the proposed stormwater facility will be designed and engineered to meet available quality and quantity standards. Based on this statement, we will expect the stormwater facility to be designed using a BMP approach. This design approach should be highlighted in the master development plan. 107 North Kent Street a Vi"mchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Largent Rezoning Comments Page 2 May 9, 2005 6. Refer to Solid Waste Disposal Facilities: The narrative states that "no additional solid waste disposal facilities will be required for the proposed development". However, the discussion does not indicate an estimate of the solid waste generated by the project nor a comparison with the available capacity of the regional landfill. These issues should be included in the revised rezoning analysis and based on the maximum anticipated development. The rezoning model indicated that 198,000 square feet of development will occur on the approximate 30 acre parcel. I can be reached at 722-8214 if you have any questions regarding the above comments.

Location and Site Background The following Impact Analysis Statement is provided in summary form for the proposed development of the property referred to as the "Largent Property". The property is located in the Shawnee Magisterial District. The property is situated along Airport Road (VA Sec. Rt. 645), approximately 1.2 miles from the intersection of US Route 522 and Airport Road. The property does not front Airport Road. The property is directly southeast (behind) of the Winchester Regional Airport property that fronts Airport Road (see Maps 1, 2 & 3). The parcel to be rezoned totals 30.01+/- acres. The parcel is currently zoned Rural Areas (RA). The requested rezoning is to change the current 30.01+/- acres from Rural Areas (RA) to Light Industry (M-1). There are no residential units proposed as part of this rezoning. A site development plan for the proposed use will be prepared in accord with all local and state regulations. The property proposed for rezoning is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and inside the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). Currently, the Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) maintains a 12" water main and a 6" sewer force main along Airport Road (VA Sec. Rt. 645) to serve this area. Comprehensive Plan, Route 50 East Corridor Land Use Plan The Land Use Plan for this area is contained within the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan. This document is the most important tool that guides development in Frederick County and specifically, in the area of this requested rezoning. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as a "Proposed Office/Industrial" area. The Comprehensive Plan refers to this area's proximity to the Winchester Regional Airport as well as its easy access to Interstate 81. Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 B. Site Suitability The site is well suited for the intended development. It is estimated that 60% of the property is suitable for actual construction and development due to steep slope areas. These areas will be specifically addressed at the time of a site plan submission. Access On 22 March 2005 representatives from Triad Engineering, Inc. met with representatives from VDOT and Frederick County Planning at the VDOT facility in Edinburg, VA. It was agreed by all parties that a reconfiguration of the existing detention basin would be required in order to provide an adequate area for the drive entrance in the Largent property. In essence, the drive entrance will be created by an area swap that will be addressed at the time of site plan submission. 100 Year Flood Plain A portion of the parcel is within the designated areas of the 100 -year flood. This area is located along Buffalo Lick Run. No structures are planned within the flood area. A portion of the area contained within the floodplain will be put placed in a conservation area/stream preservation corridor (see proffer statement and Map 8). Wetlands No wetlands have been identified on the site. The area contained of the property through which Buffalo Lick Run flows will be preserved as a `Conservation Area' (see proffer statement and Map 8). On the remaining portion of the property there is no evidence of soils or plants in significant quantity to warrant delineation of wetlands. Steep Slopes The property generally slopes to the south and east. Steep slopes areas have been identified on the site (see Map 6). These steep slope areas are generally the areas of natural drainage into Buffalo Lick Run. Mature Woodlands The site contains no known mature woodlands. Soils There are no known critical soil areas on the site (see Map 7). Comprehensive Planning In the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan, the site is identified as part of a proposed area of office and industrial growth. VVIAD Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 C. Surrounding Properties The site to be rezoned is bordered by Rural Areas (RA) zoning and Light Industrial (M-1) Zoning. The adjoining properties to the west are all zoned Light Industrial (M-1). The property to the east is shown on the zoning map as being zoned Light Industrial (M-1), however, the parcel information for this parcel (64-((5))-3) states that it is currently zoned RA/M-1. The property to the south is zoned Rural Areas (RA) (see Maps 3 & 4). The property to the northeast is owned by the Winchester Regional Airport and is the site of the recent relocation of Airport Road (Rt. 645). This property now contains a stormwater management basin (please see the Transportation section for more information). VVIAa Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 D. Transportation Traffic A Summary of Trip Generation Rates was calculated using the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition. The results show an average weekday 24 hour 2 - Way volume of approximately 1378 trips. The full summary of these rates is shown in APPENDIX A. A summary of the average peak hour trips breaks down as follows: 7-9 AM Peak Hour Enter: 137.0 60 % from US Route 522: 82.2 40% from US Route 50: 54.8 7-9 AM Peak Hour Exit: 30.0 60% exit to US Route 522: 18.0 40% exit to US Route 50: 12.0 4-6 PM Peak Hour Enter: 36.0 60% from US Route 522: 21.6 40% from US Route 50: 14.4 4-6 PM Peak Hour Exit: 135.0 60% exit to US Route 522: 81.0 40% exit to US Route 50: 54.0 Entrance There are two main challenges to the planned construction of a commercial entrance to the Largent property: 1) acquiring the necessary land to construct the entrance on and 2) ensuring that the volume of the stormwater management pond remains the same. With the relocation of Airport Rd. (Rt. 645), the Winchester Regional Airport Authority acquired a 5+/- acre parcel from the Largent property. The new section of Airport Rd. and a stormwater management pond were created on this 5+1- acre parcel. To provide access to the Largent property, VDOT constructed an approximately 12 ft. wide gravel entrance across the Airport property. An easement was not created. According to VDOT, it is the intention of the Winchester Regional Airport Authority to deed to VDOT the surplus property on the parcel adjacent to the Largent property. Once this is completed, VDOT will be in a position to sell the property or a portion of the property for the construction of a commercial entrance (see Map 9). As of 16 June 2005, VDOT's rough estimate is that they will be in a position to sell within six months to a year. LIIAD Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 In order to construct a commercial entrance to this property, a larger allocation of land will be needed. VDOT has stated that there are several options to explore in order to provide enough land for a commercial entrance: 1) A permanent easement for the entrance 2) Partial sale of the entrance area 3) Sale of the entire parcel but preserving a VDOT maintenance easement for the stormwater management pond 4) Other options With regard to the stormwater management pond, VDOT has stated that it would "...generally not have an objection to the applicant modifying the pond to install the entrance, provided the stage/storage/discharge relationships are preserved and road safety not affected " It is the sincere intention of the property owner to work with VDOT to determine the best course of action for both parties regarding the construction of a commercial entrance and preserving the overall retention volumes of stormwater from Airport Rd. VVIAD Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 E. Sewage Treatment There are no known limiting factors for the conveyance of sewage and sewage treatment from this property. Capacity and daily usage will be addressed at the time of site plan submission. The site is located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). A 6" sewer force main exists along Airport Road and can service the site with an extension to the site of approximately 350'. VHAD Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 F. Water Supply There axe nn known limiting factors for supplying this site with water. Capacity and daily usage will be addressed at the time of site plan submission. The site is located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). A 12" water main exists along Airport Road and can service the site with an extension to the site of approximately 300'. LVAD Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 G. Drainage The site has no identified drainage problems. There are no streams or ponds located on the site, except Buffalo Lick Run that briefly crosses the southern property line. Due to the on-site slopes, drainage can be expected to flow south and east and enter into Buffalo Lick Run. An increase in storm water runoff can be expected with any development on the property. Storm water management will be provided in accordance with the Frederick County Code, Chapter 165. Further, the stormwater facility will be designed and engineered using a Best Management Practice (BMP) approach so that the quali and quanti of stormwater retained and discharged will meet all applicable environmental and development standards. LVAD Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 H. Solid Waste Disposal Facilities No additional solid waste disposal facilities will be required for the proposed development. Tipping fees are $38.00 per ton. A private solid waste hauler will handle collection. LUA1D Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 I. Historic Sites and Structures The site contains no known historic sites or structures as listed on the National Register or according to Frederick County GIS data. VVAD Triad Engineering, Inc. Largent Property Impact Analysis Statement September 2005 J. Community Facilities Education A positive fiscal impact to education facilities is anticipated. Emergency Services The Frederick County Sheriff's Department provides police protection. The fire and rescue facility designated to serve this site is the Millwood Fire and Rescue Company located north of the site on Costello Drive.

Ruddy, Deputy Planning Director This report is prepared by the Frederick County Planning Staff to provide information to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to assist them in making a decision on this application. It may also he useful to others interested in this zoning matter. Unresolved issues concerning this application are noted by staff where relevant throughout this staff report. Reviewed Action Planning Commission: 08/03/05 Tabled 60 days 10/05/05 Pending Board of Supervisors: 10/26/05 Pending PROPOSAL: To rezone 169.924 acres from RA (Rural Areas) District to R4 (Residential Planned Community) District for the proposed mixed use development of 905 Residential Units and Retail, Restaurant and Office Uses. LOCATION: The property is located one mile west of Interstate 81, three quarters mile north of Tasker Road (Route 649),150 feet north of Fair Lawn Court (Route 1176) and west of Canter Estates Section V. MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Shawnee PROPERTY ID NUMBER: 75 -A -99A PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned: (Rural Areas) District Use: Unimproved ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & PRESENT USE: North: B2 (Business General) RA (Rural Area) South: RP (Residential Performance) East: RP (Residential Performance) West: RP (Residential Performance) RA (Rural Area) Use: Unimproved Agricultural Use: Residential/FCSA Use: Residential Use: Residential/Vacant Residential PROPOSED USES: 905 Residential Units, Retail, Restaurants and Office Uses (a maximum of 118,550 square feet and a minimum of 10,000 square feet of commercial use has been proffered). Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 2 REVIEW EVALUATIONS: Virginia Dept. of Transportation: The documentation within the application to rezone this property appears to have significant measurable impact on Route 719. This route is the VDOT roadway which has been considered as the access to the property referenced. VDOT is satisfied that the transportation proffers offered in the Villages at Artrip rezoning application dated May 20, 2005 addresses transportation concerns associated with this request. The developer will be required to enter into a signalization agreement with VDOT at the time the roadway is requested to be accepted into the State's Secondary System. The developer will be liable for the cost of the signal. Before development, this office will require a complete set of construction plans detailing entrance designs, drainage features, and traffic flow data from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual, Seventh Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right-of-way needs, including right-of-way dedications, traffic signalization, and off-site roadway improvements and drainage. Any work performed on the State's right-of-way must be covered under a land use permit. This permit is issued by this office and requires an inspection fee and surety bond coverage. Fire Marshal: Where the desire of the developer to provide proffers is appreciated, the development of this project will have an overwhelming impact on fire and rescue services. Water supplies for firefighting and access shall be addressed during the Subdivision Plan Review. Plan approval recommended. Stephens City Volunteer fire Dept.: No comments offered. Public Works Department: Your letter dated June 13, 2005 has adequately addressed our previous review comments related to the rezoning application and master development plan associated with the proposed Villages at Artrip. Frederick County Dept. of Inspections: No comment required. Frederick -Winchester Service Authority: No comments regarding submitted. Application recognizes that expansion of Parkins Mills is necessary to accommodate project build -out. Sanitation Authority: No comment. Health Department: No objection or comment, so long as municipal sewer and water services are provided to entire project. Department of Parks & Recreation: The area identified as a school site and open space for use by the Parks and Recreation Department does not appear to be adequate to accommodate both uses. The typical section on page three of five of the Master Development Plan indicates trails to be between five and ten feet in width. The Parks and Recreations Department recommends all trail to be a minimum of ten feet in width. The revised proffer statement has modified proffer 5.1 to reflect ten foot bike trails. The Proffer Statement should include language which indicates the bridge design (The proffer statement, Section 14.2.1.1) will accommodate bicycle lanes. The proposed monetary proffer for Parks Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 3 and Recreation appears to be less than what the impact model would indicate is needed to offset the impact of this development. Frederick County Public Schools: Based on the information provided, it is anticipated that the proposed 155 single-family homes, 180 town houses and 570 multi -family units will yield 49 high school students, 47 middle school students and 131 elementary school students for a total of 227 new students upon build -out. Significant residential growth in Frederick County has resulted in the schools serving this area having student enrollments nearing or exceeding the practical capacity for a school. The cumulative impact of this project and others of similar nature, coupled with the number of approved, undeveloped residential lots in the area, will necessitate the future construction of new school facilities to accommodate increased student enrollments. The resubmitting of this rezoning application with its proffer statement provides approximately 11 acres to be dedicated for a future elementary school site (minimum acreage needed for an elementary site would be 15 acres). It is imperative with the above number of units included with this project that an elementary school be located in this area. With current building trends, future considerations need to be given to additional middle and high school facilities. Also because of the continued growth in Frederick County, the replacement of certain administrative facilities such as the transportation and administration, which currently have exceeded their capacity, will need to be replaced or expanded. This proffer helps to address the impact of a future elementary school; however, the impact of this type of application on other current and future school needs should be considered during the approval process. Winchester Regional Airport: We have reviewed the above referenced rezoning application/master plan and it appears that the proposed site plan will not have an impact on operations at the Winchester Regional Airport as the majority of the subdivision falls outside of the Airport's Part 77 surface. No special requirements or conditions are requested on behalf of the Winchester Regional Airport Authority. Frederick County Attorney: Comments to be provided by Mr. Bob Mitchell, Jr. Historic Resources Advisory Board: Upon review of the property rezoning, it appears that the proposal does not significantly impact historic properties and it is not necessary to schedule a formal review of the rezoning application by the HRAB. The Rural Landmarks Survey and the Comprehensive Policy Plan do not identify any significant historic structures or battlefield located on or adjacent to the property. Geographic Information Systems: Warrior Drive and Lakeside Drive are continuations of existing roadways and names. Parkins Mill Road will not be accepted as a road name. It conflicts with roadways and names already in the system, and is not considered an extension of an existing roadway name. The potential for up to 21 road names has been noted. Any "Private Road" that is the primary entrance for four or more properties must be named before numbering/addressing can be completed. This MDP is presented as a suburban setting and not a rural setting. Therefore, future road names with such suffixes as Road, Lane, Loop, Trail, Bypass, Grade, Highway, Interstate, Overlook, Pike and Turnpike will not be accepted into the system. Acceptable road name suffixes for this development include Alley, Avenue, Boulevard, Circle, Court, Drive, Place, Plaza, Square, Street, Terrace and Way. Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 4 Town of Middletown: None. Town of Stephens City: Traffic concerns as always. City of Winchester: From a regional transportation standpoint, the inability to provide connectivity to Warrior Drive where the bridge is needed at the south end raises concerns in terms of traffic impacts. Planning & Zoning: 1) Site History The original Frederick County zoning map (U.S.G.S. Winchester Quadrangle) identifies the subject parcels as being zoned R-2 (Residential Limited). The parcels were re -mapped from R- 2 to A-2 (Agricultural General) pursuant to the County's comprehensive downzoning initiative (Zoning Amendment Petition #011-80), which was adopted on October 8, 1980. 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. 2) Intended Use The applicant proposes the development of a mixed use project; a residential planned community with an arrangement of residential villages containing a mixture of housing types focused around core area which incorporates a neighborhood commercial center. Also proposed is the dedication of areas for public use including an eleven acre site for an elementary school. The project is proposed to be developed in three phases. Through the proffer statement, the project would be limited to 905 residential units. The proposed gross residential density for the Villages at Artrip is 5.40 units per acre. The applicant has not committed to construct any more than 10,000 square feet of commercial uses. However, the ability has been provided to enable up to 118,550 square feet of commercial uses. The construction of Warrior Drive as a four lane section throughout the limits of this property to connect with Warrior Drive in the Wakeland Manor and Crosspointe developments is a key component of the project. 3) Master Development Plan Requirement In order to have land rezoned to the R4 District, a master development plan, meeting all requirements of Article XVIII of the Zoning Ordinance shall be submitted with the rezoning application. In adopting the rezoning, the master development plan submitted will be accepted as a condition proffered for the rezoning. The master development plan review procedures described in Article XVIII must also be completed concurrently with or following the consideration of the rezoning. The purpose of the master development plan requirement is to ensure that the intent of the residential planned community is met. The intention of the R4 District is too provided for a mixture of housing types and uses within a carefully planned setting. Special care should be Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 5 taken in the approval of the master development plan to ensure that the uses on the land are arranged to provide for compatibility of uses, to provide environmental protection, and to avoid adverse impacts on surrounding properties and facilities. The R4 District is intended to create new neighborhoods with an appropriate balance between residential, employment, and service uses. hlnovative design is encouraged. Special care is taken in the approval of R4 developments to ensure the necessary facilities, roads, and improvements are available or provided to support the R4 development. Residential planned community developments shall only be approved in conformance with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan. 3) Comprehensive Policy Plan The Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to protect and improve the living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a composition of policies used to plan for the future physical development of Frederick County. [Comprehensive Policy Plan, p. 1-1] T marl T ko The parcels comprising this rezoning application are located within the County's Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). The Urban Development Area defines the general area in which more intensive forms of residential development will occur. In addition, The Villages at Artrip property is located within the Southern Frederick Land Use Plan and is identified with a Mixed Use designation north and east of Warrior Drive and a Residential designation south and east of Warrior Drive. As noted in the Comprehensive Plan, the mixed use areas are envisioned to include residential and commercial components, of which a maximum of 75 percent of the land area would be residential. The mixed use concept is intended to promote land use patterns that allow for internal service, employment and intermodal transportation opportunities with public open space linkages between various developments. The concept is offered as a diversion from the typical segregation of land uses into specific zoning districts that are often unrelated to each other such as is presently evident in the County. The Villages at Artrip rezoning application request is consistent with the land use designations identified in the Southern Frederick Land Use Plan. With the more urban densities envisioned for development in the UDA, the Comprehensive Plan seeks to ensure that special effort is made to provide the infrastructure necessary to accommodate the desired land uses and densities. Further, as land is developed in the Southern Frederick Land Use Plan portion of the Urban Development Area, the Plan identifies the preservation of the stream valleys as environmental open space is an important goal that contributes to the protection of flood plains and water quality and provides a continuous system of green open space. Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 6 Transportation. The Southern Frederick Land Use Plan and the Eastern Road Plan identify new road systems which have been planned to effectively manage traffic generated from the various uses, to link various land uses with arterial and collector road systems, and to provide for signalization opportunities at critical intersections as areas develop. The most significant transportation element in the Comprehensive Plan that relates to this application is Warrior Drive. Warrior Drive is identified as a major collector road with a four lane urban section that traverses the property in a south-east to north-westerly direction. Also identified are Parkins Mill Road and an extension of Lakeside Drive into the project. Both are identified as collector roads with a two lane section. The new road systems within the Southern Frederick Land Use Plan are planned to mitigate impacts to the environmental features and historic areas. The plan encourages public access and the development of bicycle facilities and pedestrian walkway systems that serve residential, mixed use and planned unit development areas. The plan also recommends limiting commercial entrances, utilizing master planned boulevard entrances, and increased parking lot setbacks for corridor design and appearance enhancements. Pursuant to the general transportation policies of the Comprehensive Policy Plan, roads located adjacent to and within new development are expected to operate at no less than a Level of Service Category "C." (Comprehensive Policy Plan, p. 7-5) 4) Site Suitability/Environment The Villages at Artrip property is located immediately south of the Opequon Creek. Areas of 100 Year Flood Plain, steep slopes, and mature woodlands associated with the Opequon Creek frame the northern boundary of the project as these features run along the entire length of the property. The majority of these environmental features will be protected in areas of open space. Disturbance of areas of mature woodlands will occur in the northwestern portion of the property. The limits of disturbance of the mature woodlands have been identified on the proffered master development plan. Further, the applicant has made efforts in the design of the MDP and within the proffer statement to minimize the disturbance of the mature woodlands and ensure the protection of these areas. Internal to the project the applicant has made further attempt to preserve areas of existing woodlands or specimen trees by ensuring their location in open space areas. This is evidenced with the location of a village green around the identified specimen Delaware Pine and the dedicated tree save area in Landbay F. A second significant stream, an unnamed tributary to the Opequon Creek, traverses the southern portion of this property. Once again this feature and its associated flood plain, steep slopes, and mature woodlands have been located within areas of open space. A small amount of disturbance of the environmental features associated with the unnamed tributary will occur due to the construction of Warrior Drive. The master development plan prepared for this project ensures and demonstrates that any disturbance of identified environmental features will be done in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal requirements. Rezoning # 12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 7 The majority of the Villages at Artrip site are generally more suitable for development as it relatively level and open. Historically, the site was used for agricultural purposes. Located internal to the site are smaller areas of wetlands and waters of the U.S. which have been incorporated into the design of the master development plan. Of particular note is the farm pond located central to the project that the applicant has proffered to preserve as a focal point or visual amenity to the project. This village pond and its associated wetlands may be enhanced for stormwater management function however its environmental integrity and aesthetic quality will be maintained with its proffered preservation. 5) Potential Impacts A. Transportation Traffic Impact Analysis. The Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared for this application projects that the development of 820 residential units, 60,000 square feet of office use, 150,000 square feet of retail use, and two 6,000 square foot restaurants would ultimately generate 15,623 vehicle trips per day. The actual proffered mix of land uses, identified in the introduction to this application, should be considered in comparison to this assumption when evaluating the TIA. The report was developed with primary access to the project being via the proposed Warrior Drive, a future roadway. The report was separated into three phases generally consistent with the proffered phasing of the development. Phase 1 assumes 297 residential units along with the completion of Warrior Drive from south of Tasker Road to the northern property extents of the Villages at Artrip; Phase 2 assumes 577 residential units and 10,000 square feet. of retail along with the completion Warrior Drive from south of Tasker Road to the northern property extents of the Villages at Artrip; and Phase 3 assumes the build out of the entire Villages at Artrip development along with the completion of Warrior Drive from south of Tasker Road to north of Crosspointe Boulevard a future roadway within the planned Crosspointe development. The TIA concludes that the traffic impacts associated with the Villages at Artrip application are acceptable and manageable. The conclusion of the TIA further identifies suggested improvements that are assumed to be implemented to achieve an acceptable level of service at intersections throughout the study area network and to achieve an acceptable and manageable conclusion. It should be noted that many of the improvements identified relate to intersections beyond the boundaries of this project and that some of the identified improvements may be accomplished with other development projects. The Villages at Artrip project has not proffered to address any of the identified off-site improvements that are identified in Figure 21a of the TIA (Phase 3: 2012 build out lane geometry and levels of service) which would accommodate this and other adjacent background projects and traffic. The assumption of the Villages at Artrip project is that these improvements will be put in place by others and that ultimate connection to the study area network will occur Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 8 in a timely fashion. The transportation proffers provided by the Villages at Artrip project relate directly to on-site transportation improvements with one exception - the connection of Warrior Drive to its currently planned terminus on the Wakeland Manor project. Staff Comment: A scenario could be envisioned where the Phase 3 build out of the Villages at Artrip project would occur, including the construction of the road network through the limits of the Villages at Artrip property, prior to any development in the adjacent portion of the Crosspointe development. This scenario would be problematic when considering the structure of the Villages TIA, as this key connection to an off-site transportation network is the main assumption of the third phase of the TIA. With no connection to Warrior Drive internal to the Crosspointe project, and subsequently the other transportation improvements that are part of the Crosspointe project, the assumptions of the third phase of the Villages TIA should be carefully considered. With the above scenario in mind, and with the sole access to the property being via Warrior Drive south to Tasker Road, it has not been demonstrated by the applicant that a Level of Service C will be achieved at the Warrior Drive/Tasker Road (south) intersection, and at other locations throughout the study, with the full build out of the Villages project as permitted by proffer. Any effort to advance the ultimate construction of Warrior Drive from Tasker Road through to Crosspointe Boulevard as depicted in the TIA would be beneficial to the Villages at Artrip project. Transportation Approach. The Villages at Artrip application addresses the transportation improvements identified in the Comprehensive Plan and necessary to accommodate the Villages development by proffering to develop the ultimate four lane section of Warrior Drive within the limits of their property and beyond to connect with the currently planned terminus of the road on the Wakeland Manor property. The ultimate section of Warrior Drive is described in the impact statement and is identified in the MDP. Also proffered is the construction of Parkins Mill Road from its intersection with Warrior Drive to the limits of the property adjacent to the Canter Estates Section V property. Parkins Mill Road will be constructed by the applicant to a point that provides a connection to the existing road within Canter Estates Section V. The typical section of Parkins Mill Road is also depicted on the MDP. The applicant has proffered a three phased approach to the transportation improvements identified above that is consistent with the phasing provided for the proposed land uses within the project. In addition, the application has proposed an alternative three phased approach to the transportation improvements in the event that access to the project from the north and the Crosspointe development is advanced ahead of access to the south through the Wakeland Manor proj ect. Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 9 The completion of Warrior Drive entails the construction of the previously noted bridge over the unnamed tributary of the Opequon Creek. This significant crossing will occur with the first phase of the transportation improvements for the project. This crossing should accommodate the trail that parallels the length of Warrior Drive as identified in the proffers and the MDP. One roundabout intersection at Parkins Mill Road and two signalized intersections are identified in the TIA as being provided with this project. Pedestrian accommodations have been proffered at those locations where signalization is referenced in the TIA. Staff Comment: The Proffer Statement alludes to the provision of signalization consistent with the TIA; however, the Proffer Statement does not specifically state that signalization will be provided at the locations identified in the TIA. Clarity should be provided by the applicant and in the Proffer Statement. This is particularly critical with the proffered location ofa school site atone of these intersections. The Proffer Statement provides for the connection of Warrior Drive to the existing section of Warrior Drive in Wakeland Manor in Phase 1 of the road phasing program if Warrior Drive construction and phasing is initiated from the south. However, the road phasing program, if construction is initiated from Crosspointe, provides no commitment to making the connection to the existing section of Warrior Drive in Wakeland Manor, only to Point A as identified on the MDP. This critical omission should be clarified by the applicant and in the Proffer Statement. Also, Proffer 14.7.3 should be revised to ensure that Warrior Drive is constructed to the existing section of Warrior Drive in Wakeland Manor prior to the issuance of the 681" residential building permit. All road construction triggers should refer to issuance of residential building permits, not occupancy permits. It is important to ensure that the Parkins Mill Road extension, and connection to Canter Estates Section V, is in place in a timely fashion. It is staff's belief that this connection should be in place in conjunction with Phase2 of this development if not sooner. Bicycle and pedestrian access has been provided throughout the project. The locations and details for these accommodations are clearly identified on the MDP. Staff has previously requested that consideration be given to extending pedestrian access to the adjacent Lakewood Manor subdivision. This would be extremely desirable and enhance access between the developments and to and from the dedicated elementary school site. The applicants currently own Lot 121 in the Lakewood Manor Subdivision. Pedestrian access at this location, via an access easement into the Villages at Artrip sidewalk network, would be appropriate and should be reconsidered by the applicant. The applicant should also consider extending a sidewalk along the south side of Parkins Mill road to provide a connection between the apartments and the adjacent Canter Estates Section V development. Rezoning #12-05 Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 10 B. Sewer and Water The Villages at Artrip rezoning proposal is estimated to require approximately 204,710 gallons per day of water usage and is expected to generate a similar amount of wastewater. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority will serve the property and the wastewater flow from the site will go to the Parkins Mill Wastewater Treatment Plant. The initial review of the Frederick County Sanitation Authority offered no comment and the review of the Frederick Winchester Service Authority identifies that the application recognizes that the expansion of the Parkins Mill facility is necessary to accommodate the projects build out. Recent planning efforts have identified that evolving nutrient reduction regulations promulgated by Virginia's Bay Program will have a significant impact on the permitted waste water capabilities of Frederick County. Both the Frederick Winchester Service Authority and the Frederick County Sanitation Authority are currently undertaking efforts to evaluate the regulations and, in conjunction with the UDA Study Working Group, proactively plan to address this issue. Requests for land use modifications should be evaluated very carefully in light of the evolving nutrient loading regulations. C. Historic Resources While no significant historical resources were identified on the property pursuant to the Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey and other identified sources, several sites of interest were identified by the applicant. In particular, a family cemetery was identified that contained three to five gravesites. The applicant has incorporated the gravesite area into the reserved open space to ensure that it remains undisturbed. D. Community Facilities The Frederick County Fiscal Impact Model is a tool that is used to identify the capital costs associated with various types of development proposals presented to the County. The projected costs to Fire and Rescue, Public Schools, Parks and Recreation, Library, Sheriff's Office and for the Administration Building are calculated and provided to the applicant for their consideration. The Fiscal Impact Model output for this project indicates a net negative fiscal impact at the build out of the project. It should be recognized that the applicant has only proffered the construction of 10,000 square feet of commercial use with the project. The ability remains to provide up to 118,550 square feet of commercial. However, the applicant has stated that this is dependent upon the ultimate completion of Warrior Drive from Crosspointe Boulevard to Tasker Road. No time frame is offered for the completion of the road and, therefore, no credit is provided for this potential commercial use. The R4 District requires that sufficient commercial areas shall be provided to meet the needs of the planned community, to provide for an appropriate balance of uses, and to lessen the overall impact of the planned cominunity on Frederick County. The applicant has been encouraged to increase their commitment to the Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 11 introduction of a greater amount of commercial square footage at an earlier stage of the development phasing. A result of such a commitment would be to minimize the fiscal impact of the project to the County. Obviously, the more commercial land that is developed prior to the introduction of the residential components, the more the fiscal impacts of the residential units will be mitigated. In recognition of the fiscal impacts associated with this application, the applicant has proffered a contribution in the amount of $337 per residential unit for the public school system. The comment provided by the Frederick County Public Schools should be carefully considered when evaluating the application: The evaluation anticipated that the proposed 155 single-family homes, 180 town houses and 570 multi family units will yield 49 high school students, 47 middle school students and 131 elementary school students for a total of 227 new students upon build -out. Further, that significant residential growth in Frederick County has resulted in the schools serving this area having student enrollments nearing or exceeding the practical capacity for a school. The cumulative impact of this project and others of similar nature, coupled with the number of approved, undeveloped residential lots in the area, will necessitate the future construction of new school facilities to accommodate increased student enrollments. Following the initial review of this application, the applicant resubmitted the rezoning application with a proffer statement that provides approximately 11 acres to be dedicated for a future elementary school site. The schools provided the following comment: The minimum acreage needed for an elementary site would be 15 acres. It is imperative with the above number of units included with this project that an elementary school be located in this area. With current building trends, future considerations need to be given to additional middle and high school facilities. Also, because of the continued growth in Frederick County, the replacement of certain administrative facilities such as transportation and administration, which currently have exceeded their capacity, will need to be replaced or expanded. This proffer helps to address the impact of a future elementary school; however, the impact of this type of application on other current and future school needs should be considered during the approval process. The proposed dedication of land to facilitate the location of an elementary school in a location central to the rapidly developing areas of the County appears to be desirable in conjunction with this project. The availability of land from the properties adjacent to the proposed 11 acre dedication would have to be pursued to ensure that sufficient area could be obtained to accommodate an elementary school site. Alternately, sufficient area could be provided by the applicant within their property. It would also appear as though other impacts recognized by the public school system could be addressed to a greater extent. Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 12 The applicant has also proffered a further dedication of five acres of public land identified as Landbay F, adjacent to the 11 acres, and has proffered a financial contribution to offset the fiscal impacts to the various County. entities consistent with the results of the Fiscal Impact Model. E. Permitted Uses and R4 Modifications. The Zoning Ordinance allows a variety of uses within the R4 District. In addition to this flexibility, the Ordinance provides for the preparation of an alternative dimensional requirement plan. The applicant may also request modifications to specific requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The applicant should justify that the requested modification is necessary or justified and further advance the goals and intent of the R4 residential planned community and particular project. The applicant's justification for the Villages at Artrip is contained within the Executive Summary of the Impact Statement and generally revolves around the desire to develop a neo -traditional development within the context of the residential planned community district concept. Modification #1 (Section 165-72.B.(2)) The Villages at Artrip application proposes modifications to the housing types permitted with this project. Appendix A proposes an alternative dimensional requirement plan which is incorporated into the Proffer Statement. This appendix provides additional development standards that shall apply to the Villages at Artrip project. Appendix A introduces several new housing types, including rear loading single family detached cluster housing types, single family attached stacked flats, and single family attached back to back units. This proffered Appendix constitutes an extension to the permitted uses within this district that are specifically applicable to this project. Modification #2 (Section 165-71 Mixture of Housing Types Required) The applicant is requesting that more than 40 percent of the total residential land area may be used for multifamily housing products. The master development plan identifies the general layout of the permitted uses and provides a clear picture of how the proposed uses relate to each other. The approval of this modification would enable the master development plan be developed as presented. Modification #3 (Section 165-62.1)) The applicant is requesting an increase in the overall gross density of the project from 4 units per acre to 5.4 units per acre. The gross density of any development with an approved master development plan which contains more than 100 acres shall not exceed four dwellings per acre. This requirement is contained within the RP (Residential Performance) District. It is the applicant's belief that an increase in density is warranted in order to achieve the desired neo- traditional residential planned community and facilitate the proposed public improvements and proffered land dedication commitments. Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 13 6) Proffer Statement — Dated June 2005, revised June 17, 2005 The Villages at Artrip Proffer Statement is substantial in size and content and includes an appendix containing an alternative dimensional requirement plan. However, probably the most significant element of the Proffer Statement is the master development plan that has been prepared for this project. This master development plan identifies the layout, design, and details of the project and seeks to create an innovative and unique neighborhood that is representative of the intent of the R4 Residential Planned Community District. The master development plan identifies a core area that is designed to establish the tone and character for the development. The master development plan has been reviewed for conformance with the master plan requirements of the Zoning Ordinance (see section 7). The provision of the master development plan provides additional security as to the development of the property. Future modifications to the master development plan would necessitate this project going through a new rezoning process and a thorough public evaluation. The following is a summary of some of the other key elements of the proffer statement. 1) A maximum of 905 residential units. 2) A gross residential density of 5.40 units per acre. 3) An allowance for a 10 percent reduction in the required number of parking spaces. 4) The phasing of the development as follows: Phase 1— 300 units, Phase II — 380 units for a total of 680 units and 10,000 square feet of commercial, Phase III — 225 units for a total of 905 units. 5) The construction of community facilities and improvements within the second phase of development. 6) Architectural, signage and landscaping standards. In particular, adjacent to Warrior Drive. 7) A pedestrian and bicycle trail system. 8) Financial contributions to offset the fiscal impacts of the development on County resources. 9) The dedication of 11 acres of land as depicted on the MDP for use as a future elementary school site and an adjacent five acres for public use. 10) The preservation of the Village Pond within the core area as a visual amenity. This should be guaranteed within the context of its present state and may be improved or enhanced for stormwater management purposes. 11) Transportation improvements previously discussed in greater detail in this report. 7) Master Development Plan Conformance Review This preliminary Master Development Plan for the Villages at Artrip is generally consistent with the requirements of Article XVII, Master Development Plan, of the Zoning Ordinance, with the exception of some issues that still remain. These issues are as follows: Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 14 Sidewalks are only shown on one side of some of the residential streets. In accordance with §144-18 of the Frederick County Subdivision Ordinance, sidewalks are required along both sides of the roads. The plan needs to be revised to show all of the required sidewalks, or a notation needs to be provided to that effect. • A note should be provided on the MDP that the sidewalks on the eastern side of the property will connect with the Canter Estates Section V Subdivision. * A trail should be shown through the existing Lakewood Manor Subdivision, lot 121, to give them access through the Villages project to the proposed school site. o Details for the road efficiency buffer and residential separation buffer have not been provided. A cross section of these buffers showing the required trees and opaque element needs to be provided on sheet 4 of the MDP. All of the issues identified by staff should be appropriately addressed prior to a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on the Master Development Plan. Any accommodations or waivers endorsed by the Planning Commission that address the above issues should be incorporated into the MDP through this rezoning process. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 08/03/05 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The Villages at Artrip rezoning, an application to rezone 169 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to R4 (Residential Planned Community), is generally consistent with the goals of the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan as described in the staff report. Elements of the rezoning application have been identified that should be carefully evaluated to ensure that they fully address specific components of the Comprehensive Plan, in particular the Southern Frederick Land Use Plan. The Planning Commission should ensure that the impacts associated with this rezoning request have been fully addressed by the applicant. In addition, the preliminary Master Development Plan for the Villages at Artrip, MDP# 09-05 is generally consistent with the requirements of Article XVII, Master Development Plan, of the Zoning Ordinance, with the exception of some issues that still remain. The Planning Commission should ensure that the applicant fully addresses the outstanding issues on the master development plan. Confirmation of the issues identified in the staff report, and any issues raised by the Planning Commission, should be addressed prior to the decision of the Planning Commission. PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY AND ACTION OF THE 08/03/05 MEETING: Numerous issues, such as transportation, schools, and water, were discussed by the Commission. Commission members believed the completion of Warrior Drive out to Rt. 37/1-81 was critical for this project to be successful. They also expressed concern that the applicant would only commit to construct 10,000 square feet of commercial area until Warrior Drive's completion through the limits of the property. Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 15 Questions were raised on the results of the applicant's supplemental traffic analysis which concluded that the Tasker Road/Warrior Drive intersection would continue to function at a LOS C, even if the Crosspointe development's section of Warrior was not built soon and the Villages of Artrip was at full build -out. Commissioners believed that future Artrip residents wanting to commute to work in Northern Virginia would have problems accessing I-66 and I-81. The possibility of forming a CDA (Community Development Authority) with surrounding developers was suggested to the applicant as a possible solution to ensure the timely completion of Warrior Drive. Regarding the transportation issues, the applicant responded that two-thirds of Warrior Drive would be completed in sections by the end of Phase 2. The applicant commented that their transportation needs could be met with only one lane of Warrior Drive in each direction; however, they have agreed to construct two lanes in both directions. He noted that because ofthe economics associated with fulfilling that request, a critical mass of housing needed to go along with the road improvements, resulting in the housing construction and the length of Warrior Drive going hand-in-hand. VDOT's representative, Mr. Lloyd Ingram, anticipated signalization at Warrior Drive and Tasker Road before the applicant begins Phase 3. Mr. Ingram said that analysis of the initial plans suggested the four -lane paved section could not be justified with the commercial anticipated; however, once the connection was made into Crosspointe, the vehicle trips increased by an additional 8,000. He said the applicant provided the entire four -lane section because multiple lanes are needed over 8,000 trips and the balance of the commercial could be justified with the additional trips from Crosspointe. Since the size of the designated 11 acre school site was determined to be less than optimal by the School Board, other options were discussed, such as use of some of the open space area or use of a portion of the Sanitation Authority's property to the south. Issues were discussed regarding the waste water capabilities of Frederick County, if the pending regulations regarding nutrient reduction by the Virginia's Bay Program were enacted; in addition, the upgrade to the Parkins Mill treatment plant was discussed. A member of the Commission suggested that the wording within the transportation proffer reflect that roads will be "designed and constructed" to VDOT standards. The applicant agreed to revise the wording, but noted that areas within the development will be served by both public and private streets. Questions were raised regarding the establishment and jurisdiction of homeowners' associations for the various neighborhoods and responsibilities for maintenance of the common areas and structures. Two adjoining property owners spoke in favor of the proposed development, but with some reservations. One had concerns about increased traffic through his quiet neighborhood in Lakewood Manor, if Warrior Drive was not constructed early on; he also had concerns about the costs associated with funding a new school and providing sewer and water. The other citizen commented about the considerable wildlife on this property and he requested that a beautiful, old evergreen tree be left undisturbed because of its age, possibly dating back to the Civil War. Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 16 The applicants said they would be willing to work on the issues raised at the meeting. In order to provide the applicants the additional time to work on the issues, the Planning Commission unanimously agreed to table the rezoning and master plan for 60 days. STAFF UPDATE FOR 10/05/05 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The applicant provided the County with a revised rezoning application package on September 9, 2005. The revised materials contained an updated Executive Summary, a revised Proffer Statement, and a revised Master Development Plan. Staff met with the applicants regarding the revised package on September 19, 2005. The following is a summary of staff's review of the revised materials. Summary of outstandinIZ items (09/19/05): Master Development Plan: • Sidewalks are only shown on one side of some of the residential streets. In accordance with §144-18 of the Frederick County Subdivision Ordinance, sidewalks are required along both sides of the roads. The plan needs to be revised to show all of the required sidewalks, or a notation needs to be provided to that effect. The applicant has requested a modification to this requirement through the proffer statement. This request for modification is also on the Master Development Plan. Staff is of the opinion that at a minimum, sidewalks should be provided along both sides of the collector streets. This would include Parkins Mill Road and Warrior Drive (with the exception of the eastern side of Warrior Drive south of the Elementary School access). • A note should be provided on the MDP that the sidewalks on the eastern side of the property will connect with the Canter Estates Section V Subdivision. A sidewalk has not been added to the East side of Parkins Mill Road to Canter Estates Section V. • A trail should be shown through the existing Lakewood Manor Subdivision, lot 121, to give them access through the Villages project to the proposed school site. This comment remains un -addressed by the applicant. • Details for the road efficiency buffer and residential separation buffer have not been provided. A cross section of these buffers showing the required trees and opaque element needs to be provided on sheet 4 of the MDP. The applicant has addressed the buffer details. However, a buffer detail has been added to the area adjacent to Canter Estates Section V that would necessitate the removal of existing trees. As existing woodlands exist adjacent to Canter Estates, a 50' Woodland Strip, as allowed by ordinance, should be utilized for the residential separation buffer adjacent to Canter V. Rezoning Application: • The applicant has added a section to the Proffer Statement, Section 3.1.3.1. which provides that the applicant shall not construct any of the residential units otherwise permitted in Phase 3 until such time as Warrior Drive has been constructed, so that access is available to the property from Interstate 81 and through Wakeland Manor. Additional clarity should be provided to Section 3.1.3.1 to specify that access would be provided from Interstate 81 through the Crosspointe Development and through Wakeland Manor to Tasker Road as identified in the TIA. Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 17 ® The applicant has proffered that 20,000 square feet of commercial development would occur by the end of Phase 2 of the development. Previously, the applicant had committed to providing 10,000 square feet of the enabled 118,550 square feet of commercial within the first two phases. • The comprehensive sign plan should be reinstated as an appendix to the Proffer Statement. Section 4.5 has been modified to remove this commitment. Section 7 of the Proffer Statement addresses schools. Three additional proffers have been added to this section. It may be more desirable to the County for the applicant to designate the area to be dedicated for a more general public use, as opposed to a specific public use. This would provide the County with a greater amount of flexibility in the utilization of the land. In addition, Section 7.4, which contains a sunset and reversionary clause, should be carefully evaluated. This may not be desirable and is not consistent with past county actions regarding acceptance of proffers for public use. Finally, the applicant has maintained a $337 contribution for schools. This amount does not fully address the capital facility needs of the school system as identified in the Fiscal Impact Model. e With regards to Section 14, Transportation, Warrior Drive is identified as an Urban Section (Curb and Gutter) and should be referenced as such in the Proffer Statement and detailed as such on the MDP. Section 14.3.1.1. is an important section that should also be added to Section 14.4, which addresses the Alternative approach for the Phase 1 (Parkins Mill) construction of the road. Presently there is no mention of the Wakeland Manor connection beyond point A in this section. • Staff has identified one minor modification to the Proffer Statement, the final sentence of Section 14.3.1.1., which, when considered in connection with the deletion of language within Section 14.10, is significantly problematic to the transportation program and overall rezoning application submission. The addition of "... and the said bridge shall be completed no later than the end Phase I " is not acceptable. Previously, the applicant had committed to ensuring the road connection would be in place prior to the issuance of the first building permit in Phase I and had committed to making no connection of Parkins Mill Drive extended to Canter Estates Section V, for construction or other purposes until such time as Warrior Drive has been constructed to permit traffic access through Wakeland Manor to Tasker Road. The combination of the two modifications to the Proffer Statement would result in the development of the entire first phase, and potentially more, with sole access being provided via Canter Estates. As noted, this would be unacceptable. • The above scenario is not one which was previously presented to or contemplated by the Planning Commission. Nor was the consideration of this transportation scenario extended to the general public during the public hearing and the adjacent property owners. It should be clearly noted that the TIA prepared by the applicant for this application in no way considers the use of the adjacent subdivision as the primary means of access. The inclusion of this modification to the Proffer Statement appears to invalidate the conclusions of the Traffic Impact Analysis which identifies Warrior Drive as the means of access for all phases of the development. Rezoning #12-05 — Villages at Artrip September 21, 2005 Page 18 o The Planning Commission should evaluate the scope and impact of the modifications to the Villages at Artrip application and determine the appropriate recommendation. Based upon the modifications as submitted, at a minimum, consideration should be given to affording the general public the opportunity to further evaluate the rezoning application. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 10/05/05 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The Villages at Artrip rezoning application to rezone 169 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to R4 (Residential Planned Community) remains generally consistent with the goals of the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan as described in the staff report and proposes creativity in the application of the County's R4 (Residential Planned Community) District. However, elements of the rezoning application have been identified that should be carefully evaluated to ensure that they fully address specific components of the Comprehensive Plan. In particular, the applicants modified commitment to the construction of Warrior Drive, a key component of the Comprehensive Plan and the County's transportation planning efforts should be considered. The applicant has not demonstrated that the resulting impacts to the County's transportation network have been addressed. Further, the failure to ensure the timely completion of Warrior Drive, a major element of the County's road network, does not appear to justify the additional density modifications requested in the application, contrary to the intent stated in the applicant's executive summary. The Planning Commission should ensure that the impacts associated with this rezoning request have been fully addressed by the applicant. In addition, the preliminary Master Development Plan for the Villages at Artrip, MDP# 09-05 is generally consistent with the requirements of Article XVII, Master Development Plan, of the Zoning Ordinance, with the exception of some issues that still remain and that have been identified in the updated staff report. The Planning Commission should ensure that the applicant fully addresses the outstanding issues on the master development plan. Confirmation of the issues identified in the staff report, and any issues raised by the Planning Commission, should be addressed prior to the decision of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission has already held the public hearing for this application. _Following the public meeting, a recommendation regarding this rezoning application to the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. The applicant should be prepared to adequately address all concerns raised by the Planning Commission. FREDERICK COUNTY SANITATION AUTHORITY 1 P.O. Box 187,7. Winchester, VA 22604-8377 JAMES T.

The Property is identified in detail submissions that have been filed with the Planning Department. The Property is currently vacant and was formerly used for farming activities for at least the past 40 years. It is within the County's 2003 Comprehensive Policy Plan (CPP) South Frederick Planning Area. In addition, the entire Property lies within the County's designated Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer & Water Service Area (SWSA) and is adjacent to several prominent developments either under construction or approved, including Crosspointe Center to the west, Canter Estates V to the east, and Lakewood Manor and Wakeland Manor to the south. The applicant believes this request is timely and will assure the County significant tax revenue, and more importantly, will provide an orderly development of this Property that provides a diverse mix of uses and products in accordance with the spirit, intent and goals of the CPP. Development Proposal The proposed project is aptly named for the various small villages contemplated for this mixed-use residential and commercial development. These villages include five (5) land bays that include single-family and multi -family residential uses, a neighborhood commercial center, a central "Core Area" integrating the commercial center, interior and perimeter "greens" or "commons" as depicted on the MDP, and a comprehensive road network to connect the villages and reflect master -planned roads designated on the CPP. A significant portion of the project is laid out on a grid pattern and is oriented with "true" north, similar to traditional development planning, both of which are characteristics of neo -traditional design. I This Executive Summary expands upon and describes certain details of the proposed project that have developed in detail during the Applicant's discussions with the various review agencies. This revised Executive Summary is substituted for previous versions, and the Exhibits heretofore filed are incorporated herein by reference. (00013264.DOC / 2 IAS Narrative 090905.doc 000419 0000041 The proposed gross residential density is 5.40 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC), with densities within the various land bays ranging from 2.59 to 21.08 DU/AC. The residential land uses will include a mix of single-family and multifamily products that are specified on the MDP and in the associated proffers. We note that two proposed residential products will be new to the Frederick County market, as well as product types not specifically listed within the Zoning Ordinance. These are the "stacked -flats" units, and apartments over retail. These multifamily product types have been successful in other areas within the region, and meet the need for variety and various price points of housing, which we believe is a key element to a successful mixed-use development. With the inclusion of the variety of housing types, the applicant has requested modifications to the bulk and dimensional standards to achieve the mixed-use and neotraditional design concepts that are important to achieving the correct land use balance. Moreover, the Applicant has committed to a residential phasing plan that is linked to the phasing of construction of proffered road improvements, including the extension of Warrior Drive referenced herein. The Applicant also requests a modification of the requirements of § 165-71 of the R4 District which provides that no more than 40% of the area of those portions of the planned community designated for residential uses shall be used, among other housing types, for townhouses or garden apartments or any combination of those types. The current layout of the Core Area and those elements of the associated Land Bays that provide higher density for single family attached units and multifamily units, are critical to the creation of that Core Area, and to the development of an integrated and "walkable" community. It permits the integration of the several linked communities in a far more attractive and functional manner than larger lot development would permit. Limitation of the area that may be devoted to such homes would actually produce more suburban sprawl than the County likely either anticipates or desires for this portion of the County. Given the residential densities approved in Wakeland Manor, and the densities to be developed in Crosspointe, most particularly the large amount of commercial space, a higher density of development serves not only this project, but the Warrior Drive/Crosspointe Boulevard corridor. The approval of this rezoning, as it has developed during consultation with the staff, will produce a unified and coherent series of communities that are unlike any other in Frederick County, both in the mix of uses, the innovative and attractive design of the Core Area and its supporting Land Bays, and the provision of much-needed public lands and roads as further detailed herein. These design elements, together with the Applicant's commitment to the provision of land for a school site, and construction of major elements of the County's road network, justify the additional density that is proposed. This project will include commercial/retail uses, though on a materially smaller scale than Crosspointe. Initially, the Applicant can only commit to construction of 20,000 square feet of commercial development before Warrior Drive is completed from {00013264.DOC/2 IAS Narrative090905.doc 000419 000004}2 Interstate 81 through to Route 340/522 creating a through road that will alleviate traffic on Tasker, and provide a well-designed and completed connection from one major County transportation corridor to another. Once that connection is made, however, the Applicant anticipates that the project will readily sustain the total commitment of 118,550 square feet of retail, office and restaurant space. Because of the integration of walking paths from adjoining residential areas to the retail, restaurant and office uses, as well as different time periods of the uses within these elements, and because the applicant is very sensitive to the appearance of providing a "sea of parking" for this area of the project, and strives to reduce total impervious areas for environmentally friendly design principles, shared parking for the retail, office and restaurant uses may be justified. Because of concern that the Property could develop almost entirely residentially without a northern connection to the Crosspointe property having yet been effected (thus limiting the amount of commercial development that can reasonably be expected to occur prior to the through -connection of Warrior all the way to Interstate 81 and properties to the south) the Applicant proposes to cap development at the end of Phase 2 until such connection is made. At the same time it would double the amount of commercial space to which commitment is made by the end of that Phase. In order to assure the County that the Core Area will develop consistently with the MDP, and in a timely manner, the Applicant has committed to certain aspects of the development of that Area. This includes specific commitment to commercial, residential and community uses within the Core Area, which is to conform to a grid lot layout, and to the street layout and unit types shown. Not fewer than two housing types will be provided in that Core Area. The Applicant shall commence development of the Core Area at the outset and not fewer than 30 residential units shall be built there as part of Phase I of the development. Development within the Landbays on the Property outside the Core Area will also conform to the street layouts, points of connection to Warrior Drive and Parkins Mill Road, and to the limits of development as are depicted on the MDP. In addition to the MDP, the Applicant has proffered a Concept Development Plan as a separate attachment to the MDP, which gives specific guidance on the layout of the residential and other elements of the Core Area. Development of other Land Bays outside of the Core Area will occur within a defined road layout and limits of development, and the housing styles that are permitted within each Land Bay have been identified on the MDP. There are also specific project proposals that materially advance the County's planning needs, beyond the development of, and commitment to, an innovative and detailed land development plan. Warrior Drive (00013264.DOC / 2 IAS Narrative 090905.doc 000419 000004)3 The 2003 CPP's Eastern Road Plan area designates this road as a "New Major Collector". Additional research in the CPP implies this road to be closed section/urban in character. The adjacent development plans of record for Crosspointe Center and Wakeland Manor .show this road in various functional classifications. The Applicant has committed to the phased construction of all of Warrior Drive on its Property, from its future connection with Crosspointe Boulevard through to Wakeland Manor. This will include the costly construction of a bridge crossing of a tributary of the Opequon, in the South and construction of full four lane sections of Warrior throughout. The Applicant has conservatively estimated the cost to construct Warrior Drive to a four -lane section through the project (approximately 3,700 feet), including the bridge crossing at approximately $6,000,000. Parkins Mill Road Extended The 2003 CPP's Eastern Road Plan area designates this road as a "New Minor Collector". Additional research in the CPP implies this road to be open section/rural in character. The adjacent development plans of record for Canter Estates § V show this road as an 80' wide reservation, with no listed functional classification. The Applicant has committed to the construction of Parkins Mill Extended and connecting to Canter Estates. Dedication of Land for an Elementary School Site and Other Purposes As an integral part of its revised application, the Applicant will dedicate 11 acres of property to be used in conjunction with adjacent properties for the location of an elementary school site. The Applicant also proposes to offer to the County additional useable land adjacent to the school site, for addition to the elementary school site. Such dedication would be subject only to the preservation of a lovely tree area on a knoll on that property. Fiscal Impact The Applicant has also proffered to contribute funds to the County consistently with fiscal impact modeling provided by the Planning Department, and the proffers that are associated with this rezoning application. Summary Because of the unique nature of this proposal, and its inclusion of design elements that have not heretofore been accomplished in Frederick County, but which are desired elements of the County's CPP and which employ the County's amended R4 zoning classification to maximum benefit, the applicant also herewith requests an increase in the permitted density cap of 4 DU/AC per County Code, Article IV, § 165-72.C, an increase in the maximum permitted land use area of 40% of the total residential area for { 00013264.DOC / 2 IAS Narrative 090905.doe 000419 00000414 multifamily products, and modification of the previously -mentioned dimensional standards to accomplish the Frederick County's outlined objectives. The justification for the modifications sought is essentially that a neotraditional development cannot be accomplished using the traditional Euclidian patterns of development, and standard public and private road and lot designs. Jurisdictions in which such developments have been approved have recognized the need for such modifications, and the County is aware that the recent revisions to the VDOT Secondary Road Standards now contains provisions for neotraditional street designs that accommodate the evolving development of such street patterns. The justification for the increased density beyond the 4 units to the acre contemplated for the R4 district can be found in the need for such increased density to finance the private construction of one of the County's principal arterial routes and the advancement of its transportation plans for this area of the County, and the dedication of a school site to service the already approved population in the area. Moreover, the use of neotraditional designs advances • The intent of the 2003 Comprehensive Policy Plan; and • Unification of architectural styles; and • A truly walkable community; and • Integration of residential villages and neighborhood commercial uses within one "community"; and • A balanced design of preserving environmental features, while meeting the intent of a mixed-use community for a variety of land uses, efficient layout of the transportation system and Land Bays, and providing a community that will not create a burden on the tax payers; and • Provision for multiple housing types to attract the largest variety of residential housing consumers; and • Completion of major CPP road links The Applicant respectfully requests approval of this Rezoning Application.
