Winchester City Quadrangle) depicts the zoning for the property which comprises the proposed rezoning as B2 (Business General). The Frederick County Zoning Map, retired June 1, 1987, indicates that the zoning of the parcel was changed to B3 (Business General) District. The current zoning of the property is B3. 2) Location The subject parcel is located on Martinsburg Pike (Route 11), on the southeast corner of the Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) and Park Centre Drive (Route 1323) intersection. According to the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) Functional Classification Map, found in the Comprehensive Policy Plan (page # 7-9), Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) is classified as a major collector road. Park Centre Drive (Route 1323), which provides access to Fort Collier Industrial Park, is classified as a local road. The property is surrounded by a mixture of industrial uses, with the exception of the residential uses which are located to the southwest of the property. REZ #04-03, Ronald & Velma Simkhovitch Property Page 3 February 3, 2003 3) Comprehensive Policy Plan The subject property is not in an area where a small area land use study has been adopted by the County. Nevertheless, the proposal to downzone 6.37 acres from the B3 Zoning District to the B2 Zoning District is consistent with many of the land use objectives found in the Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan. The property is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer & Water Service Area (SWSA), and has access to a major collector road. The area located within the Interstate 81/Route 37 loop is generally recognized as an important industrial corridor by the Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan. Commercial uses are located to the north around the interstate exit, and near Stine Lane to the south. The Comprehensive Policy Plan specifies that development within a business corridor should implement quality design standards. These design standards may include screening the development from incompatible uses; enhancing the landscaping of the development for aesthetical purposes; and improving signage to enrich the character and increase property values. These types of design standards have been recently implemented in the review process of several other rezonings located along the Route 11 North corridor. In these cases, additional landscaping has been provided along Route 11 North and signage has been limited in number, height, size and style. The Frederick County Primary Road Improvement Plan identifies the portion of Martinsburg Pike, which adjoins the subject parcels, as a road for future improvement. The general plan identified in this document is to create an urban four -lane road system from the northern limits of Winchester to the intersection of Old Charles Town Road (Route 761). In addition, the Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan identifies Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) as a road designated for a future bicycle path. 4) Site Suitability No flood plains, lakes or ponds, wetlands, sinkholes, prime agricultural soils, steep slopes, or woodlands have been identified on the site. The Frederick County Soil Survey indicates that the primary soil type in the area of the subject parcels is Frederick-Poplimento loams, 2-7% slopes (1413). The limitations for development on this type of soil may include the soils shrinking and swelling effect, the clay subsoil, low strength, lack of permeability, and slope. None of these factors appear to be of major concern with the proposed development. The site exists within the Limestone/Carbonate Aquifers geologic area of the County. REZ 404-03, Ronald & Velma Simkhovitch Property Page 4 February 3, 2003 5) Intended Use The applicant has stated that the owner is seeking more flexibility in providing a variety of business, office and service uses. Through discussion, the applicant informed staff that the owner may develop a commercial plaza and a site for motor vehicle sales. 6) Potential Impacts. a) Transportation The applicant's Impact Analysis Statement calculates a maximum traffic impact of 3,408 vehicle trips per day (VPD) if the property is developed with the B2 zoning classification. This calculation is based on the maximum building structures of 100,000 square feet which is a proffered condition of the rezoning application. Based on the maximum potential building structures of 120,000 square feet, the current zoning of the property could produce an increase in traffic of 3,832 VPD. Planning -Staff Comment: The 2000 Virginia D partment of Transportation Daily Trak Volumes Jurisdiction Report 34 indicates that the Annual Average Daily Traffic for the portion of Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) adjoining the site of the proposed rezoning is 11, 000. An additional 3,408 vehicle trips per day on Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) translates into a 31 % increase in traffic. A potential increase of 34.9% is possible with the current zoning classification of B3. b) Historic Resources Information provided within the applicant's Impact Analysis Statement indicates that no historic sites or structures will be impacted as a result of the proposed rezoning. C) Water & Sewer The Impact Analysis Statement indicates that the anticipated water and sewer demand for the proposed development is 25,000 gallons per day. It also states that sewer and water shall be provided by the City of Winchester. d) Drainage The applicant's Impact Analysis Statement states that the existing water detention facility on the site is appropriately sized for the complete build -out of the site. It is also stated that there should be no adverse impact upon downstream drainage ways. REZ #04-03, Ronald & Velma Simkhovitch Property Page 5 February 3, 2003 7) Proffer Statement The applicant has submitted a proffer statement which has been signed by the property owner, notarized, and reviewed by the County Attorney's office. The following list is a summary of the conditions voluntarily proffered by the applicant: • An additional 12 trees along the existing detention facility, located at the intersection of Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) and Park Centre Drive (Route 1323). Planning Staff Comment: Staff assumes that these trees will be in addition to the trees normally required by the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. Clarification by the applicant is warranted. Limiting the number of entrances to Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) to one. 4 Limiting the total square footage of buildings to 100,000 square feet. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 02/19/03 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The proposal to rezone this 6.37 acres from the B3 Zoning District to the B2 Zoning District is consistent with the fundamental principles of land use found in the Comprehensive Policy Plan. It would appear that the most significant changes that would result from this rezoning would be more commercial use in the area and a reduction of the buffer against the adjoining residential properties, located to the southeast. Staff has four areas of concern which the applicant should be prepared to address to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission prior to a recommendation being forwarded to the Board of Supervisors. These concerns are shown below: • Improved Landscaping Along Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) As mentioned in the above report, several other rezonings in the area have included additional landscaping along Route 11 North. Additional landscaping along the entire frontage of the parcel would ensure that the proposed development is consistent with other recent developments along the Route 11 North corridor. A quality landscaping plan might include additional trees, shrubs, and possibly a berm along Martinsburg Pike (Route 11). Signage To minimize the potential negative impacts that future signage could have, staff suggests that future signs on the parcel be limited in size, height, and style. Other rezonings in the area have proposed monument style signs, no more than 15 feet in height, and no more than 100 square feet in size. Limiting the total number of freestanding business signs to two may also be appropriate. REZ #04-03, Ronald & Velma Simkhovitch Property Page 6 February 3, 2003 Zoning Buffer Presently a category C zoning buffer is required between the subject property and the residential properties to the southwest. If rezoned, the required zoning buffer will be reduced to a category B. Staff suggests that the requirement for a category C buffer be maintained on the parcel to minimize the potential impacts that the proposed development may have on the neighboring residential properties. Exhibit C, attached with this report, shows the property line which is adjacent to the neighboring residential uses. Existing Violation The current storage of trucks and trailers on the property is a violation of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. Two pictures of the illegal trucks and trailers are attached with this report. Exhibit A depicts a view of the property from Martinsburg Pike (Route 11). Exhibit B shows the view of the property from Park Centre Drive (Route 1323). Staff believes that the owner of the property should commit to the removal of the existing violation immediately.

COPP RESIDENT ENGINEER TEL (540) 984-5600 FAX(540)984-5607 The documentation within the application to rezone this property appears to have measurable impact on Route 11, Martinsburg Pike, and Route 1323, Park Center Drive. Routes are the VDOT roadways which have been considered as the access to the property referenced. The single transportation proffer of providing one new entrance along Martinsburg Pike does not adequately address the transportation concerns associated with this rezoning application. VDOT has currently requested a traffic impact analysis for this site detailing the potential impacts to the intersection of Park Center Drive and Martinsburg Pike. VDOT believes any necessary improvements to this intersection or to the particular site can be handled through the site plan review and would not require any transportation proffers. 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. Generation Manual, Sixth 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.

According to the Rural Landmarks Survey, there are no significant historic structures located on the property. The National Park Service Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley does not identify any core battlefields that this proposed rezoning would impact.

SIMKHOVITCH Rezoning Request B3 to B2 6.37 Acre Portion of an 8.45 Acre tract Stonewall Magisterial District Down Zoning Impact Analysis Purpose — The purpose of this rezoning request is to reduce the zoning on the 6.67 Acre Portion of an 8.45 Acre tract to allow the owner more flexibility in providing a variety of business, office and service uses. Background — Currently the property consists of an 8.45 Acre tract being a portion of the property conveyed to Ronald S. & Velma B. Simkhovitch by deed dated September 22, 1999 and recorded in Deed Book 948, Page 247, and further being a portion of the property designated as Parcel A on the plat of Boundary Line Adjustment dated December 2, 2001 and recorded and in Instrument #020000400. The site was once utilized as a Drive-in Theater_ It is now currently vacant. Proffers — One new entrance along Martinsburg Pike. Additional 12 landscape trees along the interior sides of the Detention Facility, three foot high evergreen hedge along parking areas adjacent to Martinsburg Pike and Park Center Drive, monument style sign Location — The property is located at the southeastern intersection of Martinsburg Pike (U.S. Route 11) and Park Center Drive (S.R. #1323), in Stonewall District. Site Suitability — The site is currently Zoned B3 and is located at a major arterial intersection. There are no flood plains, wetlands, steep slopes, woodlands, prime agricultural soils or soil conditions existing on the 6.37 Acre requested for B2 zoning that would create a developmental concern. Surrounding Properties — The use of the properties to the east of the CXS Railroad are industrial in nature (M1). Properties to the north and west are automotive and equipment sales (MI). The immediate property to the south is mixed zoning of B2 (lumber sales) and RP (vacant alley). Traffic Impacts - Anticipated traffic calculated as follows: B3 zoning is calculated based upon 120,000 sf retail.- Saturday etail:Saturday (peak day) average trips = 3,832 Saturday Peak hour trips — 511 B2 zoning based upon (retail) 100,000 maximum proffered sf Saturday (peak day) average trips = 3,408 Saturday Peak hour trips — 453. This down -zoning could decrease the anticipated traffic for this site. Sewage Conveyance and Treatment & Water Supply — Sewer and water services are to be supplied by the City of Winchester. A twelve inch water main is located on the western side of Martinsburg Pike and a six inch Sanitary Force Main is located on the eastern side. B3 zoning is calculated based upon 120,000 sf (1000sf floor space @ 250 gpd = 120000 / 1000 = 120 *250 =) 30,000 gpd B2 zoning is calculated based upon 100,000 sf (1000sf floor space @ 250 gpd = 100000 / 1000 = 100 *250 =) 25,000 gpd This comparison would equate to a net decrease of 5,000 gpd. Solid Waste Disposal Facilities — The amount of solid waste generated is calculated as follows: Existing B3 uses is based upon total 120,000 square -feet: 75,000sf Commercial/Retail—] employee/250sf = 300 employees Unit waste factor -5,75 Ib/employee/day = 5.75*300 = 1725 lb/day 45,000sf Office Space--] employee/300sf = 150 employees Unit waste factor -1.5 Ib/employee/day = 1.5 * 150 = 225 lb/day. Total 1950 lb/dav B2 uses based upon 100,000 maximum square feet proffer 55,300 sf Commercial/Retail-1 employee/250sf = 221 employees Unit waste factor -5.75 lb/employee/day = 5.75*300 = 1271 lb/day 42,000sf Office Spaced employee/300sf = 140 employees Unit waste factor --1.5 lb/employee/day = 1.5* 150 = 2101b/dav 2,700sf Restaurant—average meals served per day = 600, Unit Waste Factor -0.71 lb/meal served per day = 0.71 *600 = 426 Ib/day. Total 1907 lb/day. This comparison would equate to a net decrease of 43 lb/day Drainage — A Detention Facility exists on the site and is appropriately sized for complete build -out for the entire site. This facility was sized to contain a 100 year flood event. There should be no adverse impact upon downstream drainage ways. All runoff from this site enters the Redbud Run drainage area. Historic Sites and Structures — There are no known historic sites or structures on this property. Impacts on Community Facilities — This is not applicable in a "down zoning" request such as this from B3 to B2. Other Impacts — The potential B2 uses of this site is clearly consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Policy Plan. This site is located along two major arterial highways and at the Route 37 exit to Route 11 South, as well as in close proximity to the Martinsburg Pike, I81 interchange. Necessary transportation and sewer & water facilities are already in place. This site is a large land area suited for a shopping center or general office environment in an area of Frederick County that lacks such diversity. Excellent access and visibility is a prominent feature of this site.

COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 540/665-5651 FAX: 540/665-6395 TO: Frederick County Planning Commission FROM: Jeremy F. Camp, Planner II�� RE: Discussion Topic - Proposed Amendment to Article VIII, Section 165-77 B (2)(d), Existing Lots, of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. DATE: January 31, 2003 During their January 2003 meeting, the Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) recommended the revision of Section 165-77 B (2) (d), of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. This ordinance presently allows the Zoning Administrator the ability to waive setbacks on existing lots in the R5 (Residential Recreational Community) Zoning District. However, because the text ofthe ordinance is located as a subsection of Section 165-77 (2), it only applies to existing lots of age -restricted communities, garden apartments and townhouses. Prior to the August 2000 Zoning Ordinance revision to the R5 District, this ordinance applied to all existing lots. Neither staff nor the DRRS believes that it was the intent at that time to change the basic function of this ordinance. Therefore, the DRRS directed staff to present the following changes to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for consideration: Current Ordinance: 165-77 B (2)(d) Existing lots. The applicable dimensional requirements for the use shall apply to existing lots. However, the Zoning Administrator may allow reduced yard setback distances on existing lots of record currently zoned R5 District. The Zoning Administrator may also allow reduced yard setback distances on lots contained in previously approved master plans for R5 residential recreational communities. Proposed Ordinance: 165-77 B (3) Existing lots. The Zoning Administrator may allow reduced yard setbacks on existing lots of record, by a distance of up to 25% of the required setback, where topography or other environmental constraints create a hardship. To be considered a hardship, all conditions specified in Section 165-155 C (5), of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, must be met. Please review the proposed draft amendment, shown above, for discussion during the February 19`h Planning Commission Meeting. A copy ofthe entire R5 District ordinance, and acopyof Section 165-155 C (5) of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, is attached with this memorandum for your reference.

Camp, Planner II RE: Discussion Topic - Proposal to add SIC 83 - Social Services, excluding SIC 836, Residential Care, to list of allowed uses for the B2 (Business, General) Zoning District DATE: January 31, 2003 Upon request by a local resident, the Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) recently considered adding SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) 83 - Social Services to the list of allowed uses in the B2 (Business, General) District and the MS (Medical Support) District. After review and discussion, the DRRS felt that all of the uses within SIC 83 - Social Services, excluding those listed under SIC 836 - Residential Care, would be appropriate uses within the B2 Zoning District. The DRRS did not fully support adding these uses to the MS (Medical Support) Zoning District. Therefore, the DRRS recommended that SIC 83 - Social Services, excluding SIC 836 - Residential Care, be added to the list of allowed uses for the B2 (Business, General) Zoning District. If approved as recommended, the following would be added to the list of allowed uses within the B2 District: Allowed Uses SIC Social Services, except for the following: 83 Residential Care 836 SIC 83 - Social Services, excluding SIC 836 - Residential Care, includes the following types of businesses: • Individual and Family Social Services (i.e. youth centers & marriage counseling services) • Job Training and Vocational Rehabilitation Services (i.e. job counseling & skill training centers) • Child Day Care Services (i.e. child care centers and preschool centers) • Social Services, Not Elsewhere Classified (i.e. advocacy groups & health systems agencies) Please consider the proposed ordinance amendment for discussion during the February 19" Planning Commission Meeting. A copy of SIC 83 and the current list of allowed uses within the B2 District is attached for your reference.
