Cottage Occupation - Construct Tree Stands
LOCATION: This property is located at 140 Theodore Drive.
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Back Creek
PROPERTY ID NUMBERS: 51-20-6-31
PROPERTY ZONING & PRESENT USE: Zoned RP (Residential Performance) District;
Land Use: Residential
ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned RP (Residential Performance) and RA
(Rural Areas); Land Use: Residential and vacant
PROPOSED USE: Cottage Occupation to Construct Tree Stands
REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Dept. of Transportation: No objection to conditional use permit for this property.
Existing entrance is adequate for proposed use. However, should use ever expand in the
future, the entrance may have to be upgraded to VDOT minimum commercial standards.
Inspections Department: Existing building shall comply with the requirements of the
Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and Section 306, use group F (Factory) of the
BOCA National Building Code 1996. Other codes that apply are CABO A117.1-92
Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities.
Please submit floor plan of the existing building and apply for a Change of Use Building
Permit. A Certificate of Use and Occupancy shall be required before conducting business.
The certificate will be issued after approved final inspection is performed.

August 25, 2000
Fire Marshal: Plan approval is recommended; no additional comments.
Health Department: The Health Department has no objection to Mr. Overbaugh's proposal,
as long as he uses the building for making tree stands only and no live-in individuals occupy
building; and no employees other than Mr. Overbaugh work in building without an operable
bathroom (toilet).
Planning and Zoning: This application is a request to allow a Cottage Occupation within
an accessory structure. Specifically, the permit will allow for the operation of a tree stand
constructing business within an existing outbuilding. A Cottage Occupation is permitted in
the RP (Residential Performance) Zoning District upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
Staff visited the property to evaluate the surrounding properties. The adjoining properties
appear to be adequately separated from the location of the proposed use while also being well
screened from adjoining property with mature vegetation surrounding the premises. The
applicant has also stated that the construction activities will usually occur between 8:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m. There will be no excessive noise, odor, or outdoor storage of equipment or
supplies as a result of this business. In addition, there will be no retail element on the site.
Based upon the limited scale of the proposed business, staff feels that the business could
operate without significant impact on the adjoining properties.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 09-06-00 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
Approval of this conditional use permit would be appropriate with the following conditions:
1. All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times.
2. In accordance with Cottage Occupation sign requirements, signage for the proposed use may
not exceed four (4) square feet in area.
All activity associated with the Cottage Occupation shall occur inside a completely enclosed
structure.
4. No additional employees shall be permitted.
5. No retail sales shall occur on-site.
6. Any change of use or expansion of the approved Cottage Occupation shall require a new
Conditional Use Permit.

MADISON LODGE #6
Fraternal Lodge
LOCATION: This property is located on Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) north of Winchester,
across from the Stonewall Elementary School.
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Stonewall
PROPERTY ID NUMBERS: 44-A-83 (conditional use permit will apply to the five -acre lot
recently subdivided from this parcel)
PROPERTY ZONING & PRESENT USE: Zoned RA (Rural Areas) District; Land Use:
residential/vacant
ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned RA (Rural Areas) and EM (Extractive
Manufacturing); Land Use: Residential, agricultural and quarry
PROPOSED USE: Fraternal Lodge
REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Dept. of Transportation: No obj ection to conditional use permit for this property.
However, prior to operation of the business, a commercial entrance must be constructed to
our minimum standards to allow for safe egress and ingress of the property. Any work
performed on the State's right-of-way must be covered under a land use permit. The permit
is issued by this office and requires an inspection fee and surety bond coverage.
Inspections Department: Building shall comply with the Virginia Uniform Statewide
Building Code and Section 303, Use Group A (Assembly) and Use Group R (Residential) of
the BOCA National Building Code/1996. Other codes that apply are CABO 117.1-92,
Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. All plans submitted for structural permit plans
review shall be sealed by a Licensed Virginia A/E. Please indicate handicap parking and

egress door locations on site plan when submitted.
Fire Marshal: Parking arrangement shall allow emergency vehicle access to the structure.
Site plan shall address Frederick County Chapter 90, Requirements for Fire Lanes and Fire
Hydrants. Plan approval is recommended.
Health Department: The Frederick/Winchester Health Department has no objection to
conditional use at this time. An approved sewage disposal system designed at 550 G.P.D. has
been located at this site. Any changes in occupancy that exceed the capacity of this system
should be submitted before issuance of a construction permit.
Planning and Zoning: The application is a request by Madison Lodge #6, of the American
Order of Odd Fellows, for a CUP (Conditional Use Permit) in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning
District. Specifically, the proposal is to construct a 2800 -square -foot fraternal lodge in the
RA Zoning District. The lodge will be located on a five -acre lot, north of Winchester on
Martinsburg Pike (Rt. 11), almost directly across from the Stonewall Elementary School. The
lot was recently subdivided from a 47 -acre lot, owned by Ms. Frances G. Martin. A
Conditional Use Permit is needed because the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance only
allows a nationally chartered fraternal lodge in the RA Zoning District as a conditional use.
The Odd Fellows Fraternal Lodge is a nationally chartered organization with over 500,000
members in 20 countries across the globe. If approved, their members will be involved in a
variety of social activities throughout the community.
The planning staff visited the proposed site of the fraternal lodge to determine the potential
impact it may have on adjoining properties. The lot will border three small residential lots,
a 20 -acre lot owned by the Cedar Land Company, and the remaining portion of Ms. Martin's
property. There appears to be adequate spacing between all of the lots in the area, and the
size of the fraternal lodge should not adversely affect the residential/rural nature of the area.
Nonetheless, there were three issues of concern observed during the site visit. First, there
would be an occasional increase in traffic associated with lodge meetings and activities. The
traffic increase should be minor, however, and it is doubtful that it would negatively effect the
elementary school, or any of the neighboring properties. A second issue of concern is the
effect that a large sign would have on the area. The staff recommends that we limit the size
of signs to a square footage that is consistent with other on -premises signs in the RA Zoning
District. Third, the staff recommends that we require a site plan to avoid future problems
associated with the construction of the lodge.

STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 09-06-00 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
The planning staff recommends the approval of the requested CUP with the following conditions:
1. All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
2, A site plan, prepared by a certified engineer, will be submitted and approved before an
� occupancy permit is issued.
3. The size of any future sign on the lot shall be limited to 50 square feet.
4. This CUP will only apply to the approved five -acre plat, which will be given a Property
Identification Number when recorded.
5. Any expansion or change of use will require a new Conditional Use Permit.

Planning and Zoning: This application is a request to allow a Cottage Occupation within
an accessory structure. Specifically, this Cottage Occupation would allow the applicant to
prepare paperwork in association with her business, Fowler Homes. Cottage Occupations
are a permitted use in the RP (Residential Performance) Zoning District with an approved
conditional use permit.
The existing outbuilding, which the applicant plans to remodel, is located to the rear of the
home and is separated by an asphalt drive. Occasionally, customers would visit the proposed
office in conjunction with the purchase of a home from the applicant. The applicant has
stated that the office would be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and would be by appointment only.
It appears as though the existing driveway is adequate to accommodate one or two vehicles
in association with the office use. There will be no excessive noise or odor as a result of this
Cottage Occupation.
Based upon the limited scale of the proposed operation, staff feels that the business could
operate without significant impact on the adjoining properties.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 09-06-00 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
Approval of this conditional use permit would be appropriate with the following conditions:
1. All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
2. In accordance with Cottage Occupation sign requirements, signage for the proposed use may
not exceed four (4) square feet in area.
All activity associated with the Cottage Occupation shall be accomplished inside a completely
enclosed structure.
4. Any change of use or expansion of the approved Cottage Occupation shall require a new
conditional use permit.

REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Dept. of Transportation: No objection to conditional use permit for this property.
Existing entrance is adequate for proposed use. However, should use ever expand in the
future, the entrance may have to be upgraded to VDOT minimum commercial standards.
Inspections Department: Existing building shall comply with the requirements of the
Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and Section 310, Use Group R (Residential) of
the BOCA National Building Code. Please note Section 310.3 of BOCA for the requirements
for R-1 buildings. If the occupancy exceeds five (total guests), a change of use building
permit shall be required and a floor plan of the building submitted at the time of application.
Fire Marshal: Plan approval is recommended; no additional comments.
Health Department: See attached letter from John Dailey, Environmental Health Specialist,
dated October 26, 1999.
Sanitation Authority: No Comment
Planning and Zoning: The proposed bed and breakfast operation will take place in the
existing home. The scale of the proposed use is more intense than is generally associated with
a single-family dwelling unit. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider this proposed bed and
breakfast as a cottage occupation. Cottage occupations are permitted in the RA (Rural
Areas) Zoning District with an approved conditional use permit.
The applicant has stated that two or three bedrooms would be rented in association with the
bed and breakfast operation. However, due to the capacity of the existing drain field, the
Health Department has specified that only one bedroom shall be utilized for the business. The
applicant is currently working to expand the existing drain field in an effort to accommodate
more guests. Conditional use permits for comparable bed and breakfast operations of this
scale were limited to three bedrooms.
The dwelling in which the business will occur is situated on six acres of land and is
approximately 200 feet from the Carson Lane right-of-way. The proposed use is consistent
with the surrounding land uses. Assuming compliance with all review agency comments, it
is staff's belief that the proposed use will not impact the existing community in a negative
manner.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 09-06-00 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
Approval of this conditional use permit would be appropriate with the following conditions:
1. All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times.
2. In accordance with Cottage Occupation sign requirements, signage for the proposed use may
not exceed four (4) square feet in area.
3. No more than one (1) bedroom shall be utilized for the bed and breakfast operation, unless
otherwise permitted by the Winchester -Frederick County Health Department.
4. Should the Health Department allow additional bedrooms, the total number ofbedrooms shall
not exceed three (3).
Any expansion of the bed and breakfast beyond three bedrooms shall require a new
conditional use permit.

RE: Conditional use comments for proposed bed and breakfast; Frederick Co. Tax Map # 84-A-
47; Health Dept. ID # 31999.
Dear Ms. Anwar:
The health department has no objection to your proposal for a bed and breakfast at your home on
197 Carson Lane subject to the following conditions:
1. Only one bedroom in your home is to be used for the proposed bed and breakfast instead of
two bedrooms as you proposed. Also, the house is to have a maximum of two full-time
residents. These limitations are necessary due to the permitted capacity of the existing
drainfield serving the house.
2. You will be required to meet the requirements of the Transient Lodging and Hotel Sanitation
in Vir i? nia regulations and the local health department's Small Waterworks Policy (DGMP
W-10) prior to opening. A copy of both of these documents was provided to you during my
site visit today.
3. You will be required to obtain a permit to operate the bed and breakfast from the local health
department prior to opening. An application form was given to you today.
4. Installation of a hot tub or Jacuzzi is not approved because the additional water use may
cause premature drainfield failure.
If you have any questions, please call.
Sincerely,
John Dailey

Virginia Dept. of Transportation: No objection to conditional use permit for this property;
however, existing entrances shall be upgraded to our minimum standards prior to the
operation of the business. Any work performed on the State's right-of-way must be covered
by a land use permit. The permit is issued by this office and requires a fee and surety bond.
Inspections Department: Any existing buildings utilized forthis CUP shall comply with -the
Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and Section 304, Use Group B (Business) of the
BOCA National Building Code. Other codes that apply are CABO 117.1-92, Accessible and

Health Department: No objection to approval with conditions: limit to one full-time, two
part-time staff, current mobile home must be removed/disconnected from septic; no animal
waste in septic system. See attached letter from John W. Lam, Environmental Health
Specialist, Sr., dated 7/19/00, and letter to Mr. Lam from Dr. Collins dated 8/10/00.
Planning and Zoning: This application is a request to operate a veterinary clinic in the RA
(Rural Areas) Zoning District. The operation of such a business is permitted in the RA
district with an approved conditional use permit (CUP).
The applicant intends to run the business from a currently unoccupied structure. Setting up
a basic clinic at this location would allow the applicant to offer consultation and surgery
services. Dr. Collins has stated that the bulk of his practice will continue to be conducted
away from the office. In addition, the applicant has no intension of offering non-medical
boarding or proprietary medical sales.
The building was formerly associated with an office and plumbing operation for James K.
Powell (CUP # 09-97). This business included outdoor storage and commercial vehicle
parking. Indeed, the proposed use is visually less intrusive than the former use.
The need for a defined parking area, as well as upgrades to the existing entrances, have been
highlighted by the reviewing agencies. It may be appropriate to require a minor site plan as
a condition of this application. Additionally, limiting of any proposed signage for the
veterinary clinic would be advisable.
Based upon the scale of the proposed operation and the history of commercial uses on site,
staff is of the opinion that the business could operate without significant impact on the
adjoining properties.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 09-06-00 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
Approval of this conditional use permit would be appropriate with the following conditions:
All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
2. Approval of this conditional use shall require a minor site plan.
3. Signage for the proposed use shall not exceed 50 square feet in area.

RE: Request for Conditional Use Permit Comments

Mr. Collins:
This letter is written in response to the above application that you filed with this office on June 26, 2000,
and our subsequent telephone conversation. Records on file with this office indicate that a sewage disposal
system construction permit was issued for this property on July 12, 1954, and a permit to repair the system
was issued on August 24, 1978. The records do not indicate if the repair system was installed. As
discussed, this office will need additional information before a decision is made to support or deny the
conditional use request. Specifically, the following information needs to be provided:
1. Hours of operation and number of employees
2. Nature of veterinary practice—percentage of time spent working off-site, domestic animal practice, pet
grooming, animal boarding, etc.
3. Animal waste disposal will not be permitted in the existing sewage disposal system. Non-domestic
wastewater discharges to the subsurface is regulated in Virginia by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). I recommend that you contact EPA at 1-80043$-247 d the parhnent of ^�
Environmental Quality at (540)574-7800 in regards to this mattcr. ioti ws. JE(
4. Records on file indicate that a mobile home located on the property has been c nnected to the sewage
{ disposal system and that if the property is sold, the trailer must be disconnected and removed from the
7= property. Please indicate what will happen with this trailer if the conditional use permit is approved.
5. The septic tank and distribution box must be uncovered so that a representative from this office can
determine which sewage disposal system is currently being used.
If this office can be of further assistance in this matter, please contact me at (540)722-3480.

Dear Mr. Lam,
I• am enclosing my response to your letter of 19 July, 2000, requesting further
information about my C.U.P. application
1. As a solo practitioner I attempt to provide 24 hour coverage, 7 days a
week for my clients: Naturally, I try to limit out -of -hours work to true
emergencies. My staff consists of 2 part-time employees.
2. For the last 14 years this practice has been primarily a food animal
ambulatory service (95% farm calls) so that I spend little time in the
office. If this application is approved and I can set-up abasic clinic in
the existing building, I would hope to be able to offer limited in-house
consulting and surgery. However, the bulk of my practice would still
remain ambulatory/off-site. 1 have no intention or interest in pet
grooming, non-medical boarding or proprietary medicine sales.
3. 1 have contacted Mr. Dwight Sours at D.E.Q. regarding animal waste
disposal. To keep the solution as simple as possible, I propose to have
a separate 1,000 gallon septic tank put in. This would be pumped out
by contractor and the contents taken to a waste water treatment facility
as needed. There would be very little going into the tank because
solids would be collected before washdown of surgery room and sinks.
4. I have no control over the disposition of Ms. Petre's mobile home.
However, she understand that she cannot sell the property unless she
agrees to remove the trailer promptly.
5. The existing septic tank and distribution box have been inspected and
passed as fit by your representative.

Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan
Route I I North Corridor Plan
In 1995, the Board of Supervisors and the Economic Development Commission identified a shortage
of available industrial sites with rail access, a vital element in recruiting potential industries. As a
result, the county initiated a search for potential locations for such uses. Numerous areas were
identified within the northeastern portion of the County along the Route 11 North corridor that could
be attractive sites for industrial development with rail access. As a result, the Board of Supervisors
directed the County's Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) to develop a land
use plan for the Route 11 North corridor from Interstate 81 Exit 317 to Exit 321.
In 1996, a land use plan for the Route 11 North corridor from Interstate 81 Exit 317 to Exit 321 was
adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Approximately 3,200 acres of land was included within the
adopted study area boundary of the Route 11 North corridor which extended from Interstate 81 to
W the west and the Hot Run, Hiatt Run, and Redbud Run drainage basins to the east. Portions of the
Stephenson Rural Community Center and the Clearbrook Rural Community Center were included
within the study area boundary. The Route 11 North Land Use Plan recommended industrial and
commercial development as the predominant land use within the study area boundary. New large-
scale residential development was not proposed as a component of the land use plan. Finally, a
Developmentally Sensitive Areas (DSA) designation was established to preserve and protect existing
residential land uses, historic features, and significant open space areas. The DSA was recommended
along the Route 11 North corridor, the Milburn Road corridor, and along the western segment of the
Old Charles Town Road corridor.
Recent Issues
Development activity and land use speculation has occurred along the Route 11 corridor between
Interstate 81, Exit 321 and Exit 323 since the adoption of the north of the Route 11 North Land Use
Plan. Concerns expressed by county officials and citizens regarding various land use activities and
plans in this area led the Board of Supervisors to direct the CPPS to revisit the previously adopted
land use plan. The Board of Supervisors directed the CPPS to develop a land use plan which
expanded upon the Route 11 North plan to incorporate all land east of Interstate 81 between
Interstate 81 mile marker 316 and Interstate 81 Exit 323 to the Opequon Creek, as well as land on
the west side of Interstate 81 at Exit 321 and Exit 323.
Land Use Plan Ob'ec� tives
The CPPS conducted two visioning meetings in January 2000 at the Stonewall Elementary School.
These meetings provided an opportunity for the CPPS to determine issues of importance to the
community and to familiarize participants with the process necessary to undertake a large -area land
use study and develop a land use plan for the designated area. Participants were encouraged to vote
on identified issues and to submit comments associated with a prepared questionnaire. The CPPS
utilized this information to establish objectives for the Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan.

that future land use impacts to these areas are minimized or avoided.
Identify areas for agricultural and open space preservation.
Encourage land preservation programs such as conservation easements, agricultural
and forestal districts, and public purchase of permanent easements.
Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan
The Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan is intended to expand upon, and supersede the Route 11
North Land Use Plan which was adopted in 1996. The study area boundaries have been significantly
expanded to incorporate approximately 14,500 acres of land between Interstate 81, the West Virginia
state line, the Opequon Creek, and the northern study area boundary limits of the Route 7 East
Corridor Plan. The revised study area boundary accounts for the entire acreage which comprised the
Route 11 North Land Use Plan.
The Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan has been designed to provide for a balance of land uses which
includes industrial and commercial growth along the major road and railroad corridors, and the
preservation of rural areas and significant historic features within the study area boundaries. Future
land uses within the study area boundary should be sensitive to existing and planned land uses. The
land use plan has been designed to provide the opportunity to develop industrial and business uses
in a well-planned, coordinated manner.
Industrial land uses are proposed adjacent to the Winchester and Western Railroad in the southern
and northern portions of the study area, and adjacent to the CSX Railroad in the southern portion of
the study area and within the Stephenson Rural Community Center between Old Charles Town Road
-8-
(Route 76 1) and the Global Chemstone Quarry. Proposed industrial land uses should be developed
within master planned areas which discourage individual lot access on the Martinsburg Pike (Route
11 North) corridor. Industrial land uses should be adequately screened from adjoining land uses to
mitigate visual and noise impacts. Furthermore, industrial land uses should be planned to provide
greater setbacks and buffers and screening along Martinsburg Pike to enhance the appearance of the
corridor.
Business and commercial land uses are proposed along the Martinsburg Pike corridor, on the east and
west side of Interstate 81 Exits 317, 321, and 323, and within the southeastern portion of the Sewer
and Water Service Area (SWSA) near Old Charles Town Road (Route 761) and Milburn Road
(Route 662). It is envisioned that commercial land uses which cater to the interstate traveler will be
developed along the three Interstate 81 interchange areas, while retail, service, and office land uses
will occur along the Martinsburg Pike corridor and the southeastern portion of the SWSA. The
development of business and commercial land uses is encouraged at designated signalized road
intersections. All business and commercial uses are encouraged to provide inter -parcel connectors
to enhance accessibility between uses and reduce disruptions to primary and secondary road systems.
Additionally, business and commercial land uses which adj oin existing residential uses and significant
historic resources should be adequately screened to mitigate impacts.
The preservation and protection of significant historic resources, environmentally sensitive areas, and
open space areas is encouraged by this land use plan. The majority of the acreage within the study
area which comprises these features has been protected from industrial and commercial development
through its exclusion from the SWSA expansion. This acreage includes the core area of the Opequon
Battlefield (3 rd Battle of Winchester); significant historic properties including Sulfer Spring Spa (34-
110), Cleridge (34-111), and Hackwood (34-134); the majority of the steep slope and mature
woodland areas; and all of the flood plain and wetland areas associated with Opequon Creek.
Significant historic resources including the core area of Stephensons Depot (2nd battle of Winchester),
Kenilworth (34-113), the Branson House (34-137), and the Milburn Road corridor (Route 662), and
minor areas of steep slope and mature woodlands fall within the expanded SWSA boundary. The
land use plan incorporates a Developmentally Sensitive Areas (DSA) designation to ensure that these
features, as well as existing residential clusters and public land uses are protected from future
industrial and commercial development proposals. The DSA is a community and historical
preservation area; therefore, adjacent uses which are incompatible should provide adequate buffers
and screening. The DSA is intended to discourage any development along the Milburn Road corridor
and to promote a higher standard of development along the Martinsburg Pike corridor where
residential clusters and public land uses dominate. Development regulations should be reviewed to
ensure that they protect and promote a cohesive community environment within the study area with
special attention to the DSA, while providing flexibility to encourage high quality development.
The expansion of the Urban Development Area (UDA) is not proposed within the land use study
boundary; therefore, higher density residential land use is not proposed. The land use plan
recommends the allowance ofresidential land uses within the three Rural Community Centers (RCC).
Residential land use should only occur in conjunction with public water and sewer service, and should
be compatible with existing residential densities and lot sizes within each community center.
-9-
Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan Infrastructure Components
The proposed industrial and commercial land uses identified in this land use plan are recommended
to be developed with public water and sewer service unless they are of a scale that can be served by
a conventional well and drain field system. Therefore, it is the recommendation of this land use plan
to prohibit package treatment plants unless they are of a scale and design that is feasible for them to
be dedicated to the Frederick County Sanitation Authority for operation and maintenance.
Furthermore, proposed industrial and commercial land use development should only occur if impacted
road systems function at a Level of Service (LOS) Category C or better. The installation of public
water and sewer infrastructure, the development of new road systems and new signalization, and
improvements to existing road systems will be the responsibility of private property owners and
developers, unless the Board of Supervisors determine that public private partnerships are
appropriate.
Transportation: Proposed industrial and commercial development within the land use plan
boundary will necessitate improvements to existing road systems and the
construction of new road systems. The land use plan provides for the general
location of new collector roads and signalized intersections to channel
vehicular traffic between key intersections throughout the study area. These
collector roads are intended to promote efficient traffic movement between
land uses, enhance safety by limiting individual commercial entrances and
turning movements at random points, and preserve capacities on existing road
systems to ensure adequate levels of service. The general location of new
collector roads and new signalized intersections is depicted on the land use
plan map. The development of these transportation improvements will be
required as proposed industrial and commercial projects are realized.
Improvements to existing primary and secondary road systems will be
required throughout the study area. To ensure that these road improvements
occur, proposed developments should be expected to provide dedicated right-
of-ways and construct all improvements deemed necessary by the Virginia
Department of Transportation and the Board of Supervisors. Improvements
to the existing primary and secondary road systems include improving
Martinsburg Pike (Route 11 North) to a four -lane facility, and improving the
width and geometrics of Rest Church Road (Route 669); Woodbine Road
(Route 669); Branson Spring Road (Route 668); Woodside Road (Route
671); Brucetown Road (Route 672); Stephenson Road (Route 664); and Old
Charles Town Road (Route 761).
A corridor has been reserved along the proposed alignment of Route 37 -
Alternative C; Phase IV. This corridor is flanked on either side by proposed
industrial and commercial land uses. The proposed industrial and commercial
land uses may provide an opportunity for the development of a future
interchange along the phase of the Route 37 corridor.
-10-
Water and Sewer: Proposed industrial and commercial development within the land use plan
boundary will be developed in conjunction with public water and sewer
infrastructure. Public water infrastructure exists within the study area along
Martinsburg Pike from the southern study area boundary to the intersection
with interstate 81 Exit 321. This infrastructure extends to the east, following
portions of Stephenson Road (Route 664); Old Charles Town Road (Route
664); and Gun Club Road (Route 666). Currently, no public sewer
infrastructure exists within the study area boundary.
Currently, the Opequon Waste Water Treatment Plant (OWWTP) is the
closest treatment facility to the study area boundary. Utilization of the
OWWTP would require the development of pump stations and lift stations
throughout the study area. The proposed industrial and commercial land use
acreages have been compiled to determine the potential impacts to the
OWWTP capacities. The estimated development of these acreages
demonstrates that capacities at the OWWTP will be exceeded prior to the
buildout of these areas.
The Board of Supervisors will need to work with the Frederick County
Sanitation Authority (FCSA) to determine appropriate methods for
establishing public water and sewer infrastructure with adequate capacities.
Appropriate methods may include partnerships and agreements with adjoining
localities to utilize existing infrastructure, the development of new treatment
facilities for water extraction and sewer treatment, or public/private
partnerships to develop necessary infrastructure.

Water Supply
issues concerning quality, quantity, use, and protection of water resources are directly related to land
development issues. Water supplies are needed to support development, while surface and
groundwater are potentially affected by development activities.
Major sources of water used in the County are groundwater and the North Fork of the Shenandoah
River: The Frederick eounty Sanitation Authority uses
gnomidwater pumped from quarries locate
River. The Authority's James H. Diehl Water
Filtration Plant will have a capacity of 6 MGD by 2001. The plant will be supplied by the Stephens
City quarries and Bartonsville well field. These sources have a current combined sustainable capacity
of 4 MGD.
"jr Rjagralvi
FJXV
: .: :. ..
In 2000, the Authority entered a seventy -year lease with Global Stone Chemstone Corporation
(Global). Global owns quarries at Clearbrook, Middletown, and Strasburg. The lease provides the
water from these quarries as a source of supply and transfers title of the quarries to the Authority
when the raining operations are complete. The agreemept has provided a viable long-term source of
water for the County.
By 2,003, the Authority will have in operation Se Northern Water Treatment Plant at Clearbrook:
This plant will have an initial capacity of 4 MGD and is expandable to.6 MGD. The plant will: be
supplied by the Clearbrook quarries, supplemented by wells. The current sustainable yield is a
minimum of 2.20 MGD: 'Utilization of the full potential of the Northern Water Treatment Plant will
require construction ofatransm ssionmain from the plant to existing lines in the Stonewall. Industrial
Park. The existing ten -inch diameter waterline along Route 11 from Welltown Pike to Clearbrook
has a capacity of 1.5 MGD.
The Stephens City and Clearbrook quarries, with supplemental wells, provide an adequate water
source supply to meet the projected demand through 2025. During this period, the Authority will
develop additional sources of water supply utilizing the Middletown and Strasburg quarries to store
high flows stripped from Cedar Creels. This source has the potential of about 10 MGD.
The County will have the United States Geological Survey conduct a study of the carbonate aquifer
system that will be the source of supply of potable water:, This study will be complected in 2004 It
will provide relevant hydrogeologic information that can be used to guide the development and
management of this important water resource.
Groundwater is the major source of water supply in the rural portions of the County and provides a
_15-
potential alternative source for urban areas. In all, over half of the population of the County relies
on groundwater as the sole source of water supply. The most productive aquifers in the County are
the limestone -carbonate aquifers.
There is a need to protect groundwater resources from potential sources of pollution including
sewage disposal, hazardous materials users, landfills, underground storage tanks, and urban. Special
standards should be developed to control uses which potentially pollute groundwater. Particular care
should be taken to protect the limestone areas.
On-site sewage disposal systems are a particularly widespread potential source of water pollution.
These systems are regulated by the Virginia Health Department and by the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality. Measures should be implemented to insure that such systems are properly
located, installed, operated, and maintained. In addition, the County needs to monitor the density
of development utilizing on-site disposal to insure that problem are not created.
£onnnunity Package treatmentphug sewer systems designed to serve particular developments, should
not be allowed in areas where high density development is not expected to eventually occur. Where
such systems are allowed, they should be dedicated to a public authority or sanitary district to insure
that the facilities are properly operated. Prnvate-paekage lreatmen.y'tt plant sewer systems shaWd be

Sewer and Water Facilities
The location of public sewer and water lines determines where urban development will occur. The
Urban Development Area described by the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan is roughly the same
as the service areas for public sewer and water. Because sewer and water facility location determines
the location of urban development, great care is needed in planning where such facilities will be
provided.
The Frederick County Sanitation Authority has the responsibility for the treatment, transmission, and
distribution of potable water and the collection and transmission of wastewater. Most of the sewer
and water mains and laterals in the County are owned, operated, and maintained by the Sanitation
Authority.
Frederick County and the Sanitation Authority have executed a Facilities Planning Agreement which
sets forth procedures for the planning of sewer and water mains in the County. The agreement
includes provisions for adopting a water and sewer facilities plan as a part ofthe Comprehensive Plan,
specifying the location of mains over eight inches in size. It xlsa ,. and includes provisions for review
and update of the plan and for including sewer and water facilities projects in the Frederick County
Capital Improvements Plan.
The City of Winchester owns and maintains sewer and water lines in portions of the County adjacent
to the City corporate limits. Such lines have been extended into the County following a previous
agreement between the City and the County. A Gravity Flow Sewer Agieement between the City
of Winchester and the Frederickeounty Sardtation Authority has been adopted vvffich specifies fitat
either jurisdiction may transmit sevrage froin the other j tuisdietion to the E)pequon Pfant if that

The Frederick -Winchester Service Authority has the responsibility of providing wastewater treatment
for the Sanitation Authority and the City of Winchester. The Service Authority currently owns the
Opequon Water Reclamation Facility and the Parkins Mills Plant and contracts for their operation.
The City operates the Opequon Facility and the Sanitation Authority operates Parkins Mills.
Treatment of wastewater generated in the County is provided by two sewage treatment plants: the
Opequon Water Reclamation Facility and the Parkins Mills Plant. The Opequon Plant serves the
Abrams Creek drainage area and surrounding drainage areas east and north of Winchester, and
provides sewage treatment for Winchester. The Parkins Mills plant serves the upper Opequon Creek,
Wrights Run, and Stephens Run drainage areas.

Certain portions of the Urban Development Area, such as the Apple Pie Ridge area, may not be
intended to be sewer and water service areas. Rural Community Centers that are outside of the Urban
Development Area may be provided with some form of service, depending on the policies established
for each particular center.
The intention is that additional extensions of sewer and water service will reflect the boundaries of
the Urban Development Area. The extension of mains into areas not included in sewer and water
service areas described by the facilities plan will require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
In this way, the County will maintain an orderly process of development. All sewer and water mains
extended should be publicly owned mains.

Emergency Services
The Frederick County Fire and Rescue Department was established in 1990 to provide support and
guidance for the eleven volunteer fire and rescue companies that provide fire suppression and
emergency medical services to the citizens of Frederick County. Each volunteer fire and rescue
company provides fire suppression service, eight provide advanced life support emergency medical
service, one provides basic life support emergency medical service, and two provide first responder
level medical care. The County Fire and Rescue Companies are as follows:
Company 11 - Stephens City Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Company 12 - Middletown Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Company 13 - Clearbrook Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Company 14 - Gore Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Company 15 Round Hill Community Volunteer Fire afnd4Rdscue Company
Company 16 - Gainesboro Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Company 17 - Star Tannery Volunteer Fire and -Rescue Company
Company 18 -Greenwood Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Company 19 - North Mountain Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Company 20 - Reynolds Store Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Company 21 - Millwood Station Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Staffing of the fire and rescue stations is accomplished by volunteers from each of the communities
and is supplemented by twenty two twenty four• career fire and rescue personnel employed by
Frederick County. The volunteers provide 24 hour a day, seven day a week coverage in all of the fire
and rescue stations. The career fire and rescue personnel staff eight nine of the eleven stations, ten
hours a day, five days a week as well as providing 24 hour coverage on two advanced life support
response vehicles. These vehicles operate from Company 16 and 18.
The Fire and Rescue Department office is divided into three Divisions. These Divisions are
Operations, Training, and Life Safety. The office is headed by a full-time Director who is employed
by the County. The Director is responsible for supervision of all of the Departments operations. This
includes the supervision of all career personnel, coordinating the service delivery of the volunteer
companies, overseeing emergency services planning, providing volunteer and career training
programs, disaster and hazardous material coordination, and managing Department resources. The
office also has two full-time support staff personnel, an administrative assistant and a secretary.
The Operations Division is divided into three Battalions, having a Fire/Rescue Lieutenant - Field
Supervisor to oversee the career fire and rescue personnel. These Field Supervisors also work with
the volunteer chiefs to coordinate daily activities within each company.
The Life Safety Division is responsible for fire prevention, life safety education programs, fire code
enforcement, and fire investigations. The Life Safety Division is headed by a full-time Fire/Rescue
Battalion Chief Fire Marshal employed by the County. The division is supported by a full-time
Fire/Rescue Lieutenant - Assistant Fire Marshal. The Fire Marshals are on call on a 24-hour basis
to provide fire investigations, technical support to volunteer companies, and to respond to
emergencies.
-29-
The Training Division is responsible for developing, providing and overseeing training programs for
the volunteer and career fire and rescue personnel. This Division is headed by a full-time Fire/Rescue
Battalion Chief- Training Officer employed by the County. The Training Officer is also the Career
Development Advisor, responsible for overseeing the administration of the Career Development
Program.
Future challenges for the Fire and Rescue Department include meeting fire and rescue equipment
needs, maintenance and expansion of current fire and rescue stations, developing water systems for
fire protection, meeting training and certification requirements, increasing emergency medical service,
improving radio communications, providing service for the regional airport as required by the Federal
Aviation Authority regulations, and developing additional fire and rescue stations to meet future
growth within the County.
The County of Frederiek, fi�om 1990 to 1997, had a 2-2 pereent growth rate, rattking it 18 aut of 135
loealities in the Gommoftwealth . The County of Frederick, had a population of 34,150 in
1980 and an estimated population. of 57,000 in 1999 according to the University ofVirgima Center
for Public Services. This was a population increase of 22,850 with no development of new fire and
rescue stations. This growthh has increased the response time for existing fire and rescue stations and
will undoubtedly lead to the need for additional fire and rescue services. Planning for future fire
station locations and equipment needs is has been accomplished by developing
a five-year evens strategic plan. This plan will i$eittiT identifies future station sites and
equipment needs based on projected service demands and response times. The plan will also
enesurage encourages the dedication of these sites for new fire and rescue stations within the
identified areas during the rezoning process.
A recent response study was conducted and concluded the need for five additional fire and: rescue
stations in the next five years. These stations are to cover the areas of
Green SpringsMThite Hall
Rt. 522 South/Rt. 277 East
Middle Road/Cedar Creek Grade
Apple Pie Ridge/Route 522
Route 7/Redbud Road
The response study justifies the need for new fire and rescue stations.. The study indicates that in
many areas a ten minute total response time is not being met Increased calls to each fire station
create a situation where the 27d due station has to cover additional areas while the 1' due station is
still out. Non-residential areas such as retail, office, and industrial require increased Are protection
because specialized equipment is necessary to insure safety for these land uses. Other land uses
identified as target hazards continue to grow. These include land uses such as schools, nursing
homes, daycare centers, and industrial facilities. These land uses have a higher risk of injury due to
the specific demographics ofper-sons utilizing these facilities
Existing Toad conditions; primarily those with gravel or dirt surfaces and horizontal and vertical
curvatures, located outside of the county's Urban Development Area ("UDA) create longer response
times. The greatest factor contributing to the need for new fire and rescue stations is the rapid
population growth and increases in, dwelling units within and outside of the UDA_
-30-
The development of new fire and rescue stations could provide an opportunity to extend satellite
services provided by other county departments and agencies. Allocation of space could be created
within new fire and rescue stations for community services provided by the Sheriffs Office, the
Treasurer's Office, the Voter Registrar's Office, and the Commissioner of the Revenue's Office;, . as

Economy
Because of its strategic location, the Frederick County -Winchester area has been a center of
commerce and transportation since the eighteenth century. In the County, major roads linking us with
the Washington metropolitan area meet major roads traveling north and south in the Shenandoah
Valley. These advantages help to sustain economic growth in our community.
Economic growth is one of the forces that domes c�a both drive other types of growth in any
community as well, as provide the revenues which offset resdential groom. In order to plan for
growth and development in Frederick County, it is important to examine economic trends. It is
particularly important to coordinate economic development policy with other planning policies.
The City of Winchester and Frederick County together comprise a single, unified economic area.
Economic growth in the City of Winchester certainly has an effect on growth in the County.
Therefore, the City and County have developed a cooperative approach to economic development.
Winchester -Frederick County Economic Development Commission
In 1982, the Winchester -Frederick County Economic Development Commission was created by joint
resolution of the City of Winchester and the Frederick County governing bodies. The Commission
is composed of representatives from the County and the City, along with representation from local
industry. The Economic Development Commission's mission is "...to create a desirable balance of
value in the form of increased tax revenues to the City of Winchester and the County of Frederick and
the towns within, income to its citizens, and an environment which facilitates profit for the business
community." The Economic Development Commission is charged with fostering an efficient and
cooperative effort toward economic development for the Winchester -Frederick County area. The
Commission maintains an office and employs a director who's responsibility is the coordination of
efforts to develop and implement an Economic Development Strategy for the community. Revised
annually, the 1999-2000 strategy addresses three program areas: Existing Industry Development,
Business Attraction, and Travel.

Schools
The Frederick County Public School system is composed often elementary schools serving students
in grades kindergarten through fifth grade; three middle schools serving grades six through eight; and,
two high schools serving grades nine through twelve. The Northwest Regional Education Programs
(NREP) is a regional program whieh that provides special education services to students from
Frederick and Clarke Counties and the City of Winchester. Approximately 3$r% 5'7°1a of the students
ending NREP who xeceive ser wes are from Frederick
County. The Dowell J. Howard Center provides vocational education services for high school
students and adults, and is also the location of The Learning Center, a high school alternative
program. In addition to the seventeen school facilities, twenty five testy-tWo modular classrooms
are used at eight six school sites to reduce overcrowding due to increased enrollment and to address
the need for additional space due to changes in educational programs.
During the past several decades, student enrollment in the school division has increased steadily. The
most significant increase has occurred throughout the 1990's with school enrollment growing by
2,2485 2,318 students. This increase, from 8,223 students in 1990 to i n� 1Q,408 students in +998
1999, represents a ^`� 28% growth in student enrollment in the school division. Student
enrollment in Frederick County has notably exceeded the state average, which was 11.3% for the
same period of time.
In order to meet the need for additional school space, a number of school construction and renovation
projects have occurred throughout the 1990's. Despite the completion of these capital facilities
projects, four ofthe ten elementary schools will exceed 90% oftheir capacity atthe opening o£siQ
in the fall of20 i0. These schools are Bass -Hoover (93%) (96%)-, Indian
Hollow ) (9l %), Se:n§d y Rodd (195%) and Stonewall (95�/�i�.
Construction of classroom additions to Armel and Middletown Elementary Schools, which were
completed in the fall of 1998, resulted in an increase in student capacity and a reduction in the percent
of practical capacity utilized at each of these sites. eonstr tic tion of anew elementary school in
setting.Backereek ?L'fagisteihd Distriet began in the spiffig of f999, and is scheduled to Open for sttidents

Elemerttary School ih, the Back Cfeek.Magistenal District will open for students in the fall of 2000
and Rohit son Element —v" 1 be closed.
As students matriculate from elementary school to the middle school and high school levels, the need
to provide additional space for the increase in student population and to meet changing educational
requirements will necessitate the development of new facilities and the renovation of existing
facilities. The Capital Improvements Plan reflects the need to address space requirements for middle
and high school enrollment that has ekceeded 90% of
capacity in three ofthe find schools despite the use of twenty nineteen modular classrooms at five
different locations, 'and the increased` use of a Dowell J Howard Cent+r for secondary program .
A major renovation project at James Wood Middle School and the construction of a third county high
school on Berryville Pike are two projects planned to address the increase in middle and high school
student population.
-43-
During the 1990's, the need to renovate or replace older facilities and provide facilities to
accommodate residential growth in the county has resulted in significant allocations for capital
facilities costs in the school division. The rate of residential growth continues to impact the school
system, particularly in southern and eastern Frederick County as subdivisions are developed in the
Urban Development Area (UDA). In addition, careful monitoring of residential growth outside of
the UDA, which has accounted for approximately one-third of new residential building permits issued
throughout the 1990's, is necessary to accurately predict enrollment trends.
Along with growth in student enrollment, the school division is faced with the responsibility of
providing instruction in order to prepare students to work and live in the 21' century. The use of
technology as a tool in nearly every facet of education has dramatically changed the way in which
instructional services are provided to students. Required technology -related instruction at all levels
will continue to necessitate increased expenditures for computer and computer-related hardware and
software. Mandates from the federal and state governments, particularly in special education
services, will require localities to expend additional financial resources to meet educational
requirements. The requirements associated with technology -related instruction and the provision of
1 appropriate special education services to students will create theneed for investment in future capital
projects within the school division.
Major efforts have been made by the school division and the Board of Supervisors to consolidate
services in order to serve the residents of Frederick County more effectively and efficiently.
Cooperative agreements have been developed relative to sharing school facilities for recreational use
by a wide variety of community organizations; maintenance of school grounds provided by the
Department of Parks and Recreation, resulting in a greater utilization of space; and maintenance of
the County Office Complex provided by the school division's Building and Grounds Department. ;ate

Refuse Collection, Landfill, and Recycling
Twelve refuse collection stations are located throughout Frederick County. Nine refuse collection
stations consist of hydraulic eampaetarmelmres compactors with separable roll -off containers and
collection facilities for recyclables, and three sites consist of front-end dumpsters anty. The County
converts dumpster sites to compactor stations when warranted by tonnage levels. Consolidation of
sites during the conversion process is also desirable, when practical. Based on research by the
Government 12 Student Learning project and staff, the concept of curbside pickup in the densely
populated areas of Frederick County that are currently served by public water and sewer was
endorsed by a resolution of the Board of Supervisors in August, 1998. The=Board may elect to offer
curbside refuse and recycling colleotivn anytime after,4ugus X003.
The Frederick County Landfill is a regional facility .that receives refuse from Frederick and Clarke
Counties and the City of Winchester. The landfill is operated by Frederick County as an enterprise
fund and the landfill operation is fee sustaining. The management and planning of landfill operations
are solely the -responsibility of Frederick County, with input from an oversight committee comprised
of representatives from , Frederick and Clarke counties and the City
. of Winchester.
Closure of the older section of the landfill, which opened in 1976, was completed in 1994. A new
160 -acre tract of adjacent land, purchased in 1986, was opened for landfilling during 1993.
Approximately 90 acres of this tract has been permitted for landfilling under the newly adopted
Subtitle "D" Solid Waste Regulations. Both the efose-c closure of the old section and the
construction of the new section have been carried out in accordance with new state regulations that
require much more sophisticated environmental protection measures, including composite
impermeable liners, a complete leachate collection system, leachate treatment facility, groundwater
monitoring and gas monitoring.
The current landfill was originally estimated to have adequate capacity for 25 years commencing in
October of 1993. The development of a construction debris landfill should extend the life of the
current sanitary landfill approximately eight years, resulting in a life of 33 years. A tract of land
consisting of 109 wooded acres was purchased from Ryland Carper for the future development of
a construction debris landfill. The permitting, design and construction of this new construction/debris
landfill was completed in 1998. The County should reevaluate tonnage, revenue, and expenditure
trends each year and set fees accordingly. The County should also continue to evaluate new
technologies for waste reduction and recycling that would extend the life of the landfill.
During the 1990's, the County placed collection boxes for recyclable materials at each of the citizens'
convenience areas located throughout the County. Through this effort, the County was able to meet
the 1995 recycling mandate of 25 percent mandated by the Commonwealth
of Virginia. Due to the rapid growth in the County, additional programs have been implemented to
enable the County to maintain the 1995 recycling mandate of 25 percent. These programs include
brush and yard waste mulching, composting, waste oil recycling, tire shredding, and household
hazardous waste collections.
New residential developments need to be provided with appropriate means of solid waste collection.
Either private collection or new collection stations should be provided by nevdlevelopments
developers.

Airport
The Winchester Regional Airport is a364 sere 376 -acre, all weather, 24-hour general aviation airport
with a 5,500 foot runway located southeast of Interstate 81, Exit 313A. The facility currently has
75 tie down spaces, two 12,000 square foot public clear span hangars, 52 T -hangars and three private
corporate hangars. Based aircraft total 72 90, and range in size from single engine to large cabin class
business aircraft. Services available include 24-hour U.S. Customs and Immigrations, 24-hour on call
line service, automated weather observation system, computerized weather and flight planning
equipment, full instrument landing system, and rental car service.
The Winchester Regional Airport Authority was formed by the Virginia General Assembly on July
1, 1987. The Authority consists of representatives from the City of Winchester, Frederick, Clarke,
Shenandoah, and Warren counties. Since its formation, the Winchester Regional Airport Authority
has embarked on an extensive airport improvement program. Maj or capital improvements have been
accomplished in order to comply with Federal safety and design standards. Completed construction
proj ects include a 1,100 -foot runway extension, pavement resurfacing of the entire runway, relocation
of the taxi way and the creation of safety areas at each end of the runway. New buildings constructed
under this program include a modern general aviation terminal, a 12,000 square foot clear span
hangar, a maintenance hanger with F4�9 Fixed Base Operator offices, and 42 T -hangar units. Other
completed projects include upgrading aitTteld lijhting airfield lighting upgrade, installation of a 40,000
gallon above ground fuel storage facility, security fencing ofthe Airport perimeter, and the installation
of a precision instrument approach that provides better all weather access to the Airport.
Collaborating with Frederick County and the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Authority
has also made improvements to primary access roads to the airport. Sewer and water service has also
been established. To date, more than $14 million dollars has been invested in Airport capital
improvements, equipment, and promotions through funding received from the Federal Aviation
Administration, Virginia Department of Aviation and the local jurisdictions.
Future Rema,ming capital projects include the relocation of Airport Road to remove aportion of.
road that infringes`on controlled*"e and
it�nge an eottfralled ai.rspaee Land acquisition along Bufflick Road for noise abatement.Land_ to
accommodate the road relocation project has been acquired by the Airport over the past year in order
to provide the Virginia.Department offiansportat on a one hundred foot right of way.
Through the support of the member jurisdictions, the Winchester Regional Airport will continue to
evolve into a modern first class air transportation facility which will assist economic development
endeavors in the attraction of new industrial and commercial businesses to the region.

County Offices
In 1996, the County completed construction of a 68,000 square foot building adjacent to the
Frederick County Administration Building. Funding for this new building was obtained through the
issuance of a bond. The construction incorporated the existing 32,000 square foot Frederick County
Administration Building, and provide a county government complex totaling 100,000 square feet.
Most of the County's departments and agencies are now housed in this new county government
complex in downtown Winchester.
In 1998, the County modified the Capital Improvements Plan to provide for a Public Safety Facility
for the Sheriffs Department and the Fire -- Rescue f7epartmex t as well as for Annex Facilities that
would situate satellite offices throughout the County for representatives of the Treasurer's Office,
the Commissioner of Revenue's Office, and the Sheriff's Department. The provision ofthese facilities
is intended to improve emergency response time, enhance public safety, and provide more efficient
service to County residents. The location of these facilities are envisioned to occur within areas of
dense population, as well as along arterial and major collector road corridors.

Parks and Recreation
The purpose of this chapter is to outline the County's recreational policies and to identify
implementation methods for accomplishing recreational facilities, programs, studies, and plans. It is
not meant to be a detailed recreation pian, but rather it is a part of the County's continuing planning
process and a guide to decision making.
Facilities
The County currently owns and operates two regional parks. Clearbrook Park, located five miles
north of Winchester on Route 11, consists of approximately 55 acres and Sherando Park, located two
miles east of Stephens City on Route 277, consists of approximately 330 acres. Both regional parks
currently serve the County's population with both active and passive recreational programs and
facilities. In addition to these regional parks, five neighborhood parks have been developed which
serve a more specific group with more limited facilities than those in the regional parks.
The neighborhood parks are located at: Reynolds Store Fire Company and Gainesboro Fire Company
in the Gainesboro District, North Mountain Fireeompmiy and Round Hill Fire Company in the Back
Creek District, and at Frederick Heights subdivision in the Shawnee District. These neighborhood
parks consist primarily of playground equipment for young children. The Parrs and Recreation
Department also maintains1wo tennis courts:at~Senseny Road Elementary School forcommunity use.
In 1987, master development plans were adopted for both Clearbrook and Sherando Parks. These
master plans establish development goals for each park, identify unmet recreational needs, provide
unified facility plans, and propose a development program for each park. The master plan for both
Clearbrook and Sherando Parks reflect the recommendations of the County residents and national
standards as outlined in the Virginia Outdoor Plan. These plans emphasize the development of a
swimming pool complex and additional sports, picnic, maintenance, and other support facilities.
Funding.has been provided to update the Sherando Park Master Plan. The revisions are scheduled
to be completed by Jame 30, 200 .
Since the adoption of the master plans, the County has completed the construction of two outdoor
swimming pool complexes, four soccer fields, a maintenance building, one shelter, two playground
areas, two sand volleyball courts, and two fields of a four field softball complex. The County has also
purchased an area to house the maintenance operation for Clearbrook Park. Additional recreational
facilities currently provided are athletic fields, playground, and picnic areas with a variety of
recreational opportunities such as horseshoes, fishing, paddleboats, and volleyball, open space areas
and support facilities. Clearbrook Park, Sherando Park, neighborhood parks and all public school
athletic fields and grounds are maintained by the Parks Division of the County Parks and Recreation
Department. As a result of a j oint operating agreement with the County School Board, the Parks and
Recreation Department has use of the following Sherando High School facilities when they are not
in use by the high school: lighted football field and track, baseball field, eight outdoor lighted tennis

courts, and four outdoor lighted basketball courts. The Parks and Recreation Department's
Community Center, which was built adjoined to Sherando High School, opened in September of 1993
and contains two racquetball courts, a weight room and a multipurpose room.
The Residential Performance Zoning regulations require that open space be provided in most types
of suburban development. In addition, recreational facilities are required in any residential
development which contains lot sizes of less than 5,000 square feet. It is required that such open
space and facilities be dedicated to homeowners associations. There is a need to examine recreational
and park needs in suburban and urban areas, specifically, the development of a bikeway and trail
system. One need that has been identified is the development of a bikeway and trail system. To date,
the County has constructed;a2 -45,2:40 mile bicycle facility to serve
several residential areas east of Stephens City. The"County bas also committed to the construction
of a .60 (3,200 l f } i? cycle; facth-ly to se>"ve resident_ tal areas -on. the northern, perimei er of Sherando
P'ark., `ThsThese bicycle facilityfacilities will link those residential areas with Sherando Park and
= Sherando High School. Additional trails would provide residents the ability to travel safely from their
r homes to schools, stores, work or recreational areas without having to share the overcrowded arterial
and collector roads with automobiles. Also, there is a need to examine Residential Performance
Zoning regulations
developer.of th& to determine whether the recreational needs- of the single family homeowner are
being met.
Programs
The Recreation Division of the Frederick County Parks and Recreation Department was created to
provide a comprehensive and accessible program of recreational services and activities for the
residents of Frederick County. A diverse range of recreational and enrichment programs are
provided for all age groups. This broad base of activities includes, but is not limited to, instructional
classes, outdoorrecreatioriprograms, sports and athletics, health and fitness
programs, cultural and special events, and trips and excursions.
Programming responsibilities are assigned within the Division's four interest sections --Community
Recreation, (Children's Programs,. Cultural Arts,; etc_) Senior Citizens, Aquatics, and Sports and
Athletics. Staff members work together to identify, develop and implement those activities which
most closely meet the interests and desires of the community. The Division typically implements
programs along age group stratifications such as preschool, youth, teen, adult and senior adult;
however, a shift in programming emphasis has resulted in the development of broader activities to
appeal to family units. In particular, holiday events are planned to include parent and child in a
variety of leisure opportunities.
The majority of recreation programs offered by the Parks and Recreation Department are held within

the 15 public schools in Frederick County and the Parks and Recreation Department's Community
Center. Consequently, awide variety ofrecreation offerings has maximized use ofthe county school
buildings. The joint efforts of the Frederick County School Board and the Parks and Recreation
Commission/Department resulted in the inclusion of recreational facilities within Sherando High
School. The Department's Community Center, which was built adjoined to Sherando High School,
opened in September of 1993. On August 28, 2000, the Orchard View Community Center is
scheduled to open. This facility, which is attached to the Orchard View Elementary School, will have
a full-size gymnasium that will be programmed during non -school hours.

Conclusions
As the population of the Winchester -Frederick County area continues to increase, there will
undoubtedly be greater emphasis placed on the County's Parks and Recreation Department. As
indicated by the standards provided in the 1996 Virginia Outdoor Plan, (referred to in this chapter),
there currently exists a need to concentrate on further facility development just to meet present
minimum standards, and a greater need to establish a long range capital improvement program to
insure the provision of the physical amenities required to meet future leisure demands.
At this time, priority should be given to bring our park system up to the recommended minimum
standard, but strong consideration should also be given to the acquisition of park land to meet future
needs while desirable open space is still available at a reasonable cost.
In addition to=the facilities that are needed to meet current and future demands, in eastern Frederick
County and western Frederick County, the Parks and Recreation Department will also need
additional professional staff if the County is to accommodate an already increasing demand for
recreational programs.

Citizen Participation
Citizen participation and input regarding recreation programs and park development have been
actively solicited since the creation of the department in: 1971.
The Parks and Recreation Commission consists of seven members, including one from each
magisterial district, appointed by the Board of Supervisors for four year terms and two at -large
members recommended by the Commission and appointed by the Board to serve staggered four year
terms.
Future Demands
To help plan for the future leisure service demands, the Parks and Recreation Department has
completed master plans for the County's two regional parks, studied national standards provided in
the Virginia Outdoor Plan, and gathered survey information relating to the provision of leisure
services. Through the utilization of these and any other available resources, it is projected that the
following areas must be addressed if we are to meet future leisure demands:
1. Land acquisition to meet minimum standards
2. Facility development to meet minimum standards
3. Development of recreational centers
4. Increased programming for special populations
5. Increased programming for teens
6. Great diversity of programming so as to better meet the needs of the entire community.
7. Establishment of trail systems and bikeways
Area Standards
As suggested by the 1996 Virginia Outdoor Plan, the area standard for local recreation and park sites
in Virginia is ten acres of developed park land per thousand population.
Frederick County has a population of approximately 55,00 57,000 (based on+99'& 1999 provisional
estimate data provided by the University of Virginia Center for Public Services) and currently
maintains 404 acres of park land. Of the 404 acres assigned to the parks, about 240 acres would be
considered developed.
By the year2069200I, using the population projections provided by the Frederick County Planning
Department, an additional -1756166 acres will be needed and by the year 2010, another+50130 acres
Frederick County 9 - 4 Comprehensive Plan
-56-
Parks and Recreation
will be required if we are to keep pace with the recommended standard of the ten acres per thousand.
It is estimated by the Department of Parks and Recreation that by the year 2020, Frederick County
will need approximately S%833 acres of developed park land to adequately serve the County's
population.
In meeting the ten -acre per thousand minimum standard for park land, it is recommended by the
Virginia Outdoor Plan to consider the following types of park development:

Parks and Recreation
NEIGHBORHOOD PARI
Size: 5 - 20 acres
Plan at 3 acres/1000 Population
Service Area: Approximately 5 - 15 minutes walking distance or'/z mile to 1_ %z miles
Administrative Responsibility: Local Unit of Government or Homeowners Association
Purpose: The primary function of the neighborhood park is to provide limited types of recreation
for the entire family within easy walking distance. Facilities should be provided for all age groups.
Character: Intensive use and easy access are characteristics of this classification. Ideally, the site
would have areas that are level to gently rolling to accommodate the intensive use facilities, with
shaded areas for passive recreation.
Location: If possible, the neighborhood park should be located near a school and /or the
neighborhood center and away from railroads, major streets and other hazardous barriers.
Potential Facilities:
*playground
*badminton courts
*ball diamond
*swimming pool
*basketball courts
*volleyball courts
*tennis courts
*fishing pond
*shuffleboard courts
*recreation center
*picnic facilities
*walking trails
*horseshoe courts
*bikeway
*footbali/soccer field
Play fields usually serve a dual purpose is this type of facility. They provide an area for sports and
running games and also serve as open space. Intensive use areas (the playground area and hard
surfaced courts) are buffered from other activities by passive natural areas and pedestrian access
corridors. Programmed activities such as organized athletics are often suitable in neighborhood
parks. Although limited parking facilities are provided, site design should encourage pedestrian
access to the greatest extent possible.
Rural communities may want to consider deleting neighborhood parks and include their function in
larger community parks which could better serve the needs of widely dispersed local population.
From an economic standpoint, it would be more beneficial for a rural locality to have a few
strategically located, well designed, larger facilities than to invest in several small sites and not have
the funds to properly develop and maintain them.

COMMUNITY PARD
Size: 20 -50 acres
Plan at 3 acres/1000 Population
Service Area: Approximately 15 minutes driving time
Administrative Responsibility: Local Unit of Government
Purpose: Community parks should primarily support active recreation activities and be capable of
withstanding intensive use, while still containing a fair amount of open space.
Character: The site usually varies from relatively flat open space to moderately sloping wooded
area. Such a park should be adaptable to a wide variety of recreational activities. Access is gained
by auto, bicycles, or walking.
Location: Locate when possible near the center of the community with good access and serviced
by a public transportation system.
Potential Facilities:
* playgrounds
* tennis courts
* horseshoe courts
* ball diamonds
* volleyball courts
* beach\swimming area
* picnic facilities
* swimming pool
* shuffleboard courts
* basketball courts
* parking area
* football\soccer fields
* trails: walking, hiking,
biking, fitness
* natural area
* fishing lake or stream
access
* recreation center
A multitude of activities must be provided by this intensive -use recreational facility. The recreation
center is often the focal point of the park. Organized activities are grouped in the surrounding area.
Their location is dependent upon the natural terrain, need for control, and vehicular access. Any
existing natural qualities, such as topography, water features, and trees, should be preserved and
utilized as natural buffers between activity areas as well as to protect the recreation environment from
surrounding, incompatible influences. These natural elements should also be used to provide a space
for more passive forms of recreation such as nature walks, picnicking, and fishing.
In the rural setting, this park category may take the place of the neighborhood park. It can better
serve a widely dispersed population than two or three smaller sites. Community parks, along with
neighborhood parks (where applicable), usually meet most of the close -to -home recreation needs of
most localities.

REGIONAL. PARK
Size: 50- 150 acres
Plan at 4 acres/1000 Population
Service Area: 15 - 25 minutes driving time
5 - 15 miles service radius
Administrative Responsibility: Local Unit of Government
Purpose: Regional Parks should serve the recreational needs of large portions ofthe local population.
They should contain a wide variety of intensively developed areas for day use recreation while
providing ample open space with generous buffers between activity areas.
Character: The site could vary from flat open space to moderately to steeply sloping topography.
It should be capable of supporting a wide variety of activities with ample buffer and natural areas.
Sitting on a stream or lake is highly desirable. The regional park needs to be accessible by auto as
well as pedestrians and bicycles.
Location: When possible, locate the regional park so that it is near the center of the service area.
It should be on or near an arterial or major collector road providing good access to the facility. In
urban or suburban situations, easy access to mass transit is highly desirable. The site should also be
accessible by pedestrians and bicyclists.
Potential Facilities:
*playgrounds

RECREATION CENTERS
The recreation center may be found at the neighborhood, community, district, and regional parks.
At the neighborhood level, the recreation center is usually constructed between 15, 000 and 20,000
square feet. It generally will include multipurpose rooms, an arts and crafts area, game room, kitchen,
lounge and lobby, restrooms, and office. If a gymnasium is not available in a neighborhood school,
the recreation center may also include a gymnasium and locker room facilities.
The recreation center in a large park that serves a community will be considerably larger, from 50,000
-100,000 square feet, and will include several multipurpose rooms, gymnasium, indoor pool, shower
and locker rooms, game room, arts and crafts area, an auditorium or areas for performing arts, class
or club rooms, kitchen, large meeting room, restrooms, office, lounge or lobby, and some specialized
areas such as a ceramics workshop or weight room. An important consideration in all recreation
facilities is to provide adequate storage space.

MEMORANDUM
To: Frederick County Planning Commission
From: Amy M_ Lohr, Planner II A4
Subject: Amendments to the B2 Permitted Use List
Date: August 24, 2000
Nature of Discussion
Staffhas received a request from Greenway Engineering to consider an amendment to the permitted
use list of the B2 (Business General) Zoning District to include all uses in Major Group 79 -
Amusement and Recreation Services. Specifically, they are interested in enabling activities such as
swimming pools and court games to be located outdoors. At present, amusement and recreation
services are permitted in the B2 so long as such uses occur indoors. Specific outdoor operations
including golf driving ranges, miniature golf courses, and commercial batting cages are also permitted
uses in the B2 Zoning District at this time. A copy of Major Group 79 - Amusement and Recreation
Services has been attached for further reference.
DRRS Summary
The Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee considered the proposed amendment at
their July 27, 2000 meeting. The committee reached a general consensus that outdoor recreation is
a highly appropriate use for the B2 Zoning District. Furthermore, outdoor recreation facilities are
desirable and beneficial to those persons already engaged in commercial activities in the B2 District.
The committee also examined the other uses permitted by Major Group 79. While the inclusion of
many of the uses within this group may be appropriate within the B2 Zoning District, several of the
uses would warrant, at a minimum, additional performance standards to ensure their compatibility
with the zoning district and surrounding properties. With this in mind, the DRRS has made the
following recommendation.
107 North Kent Street ® Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000
Page 2
Frederick County Planning Commission
Re: Amendments to the 132 Permitted Use List
August 24, 2000
MRS Recommendation
The committee recommends defining the proposed use as follows and allowing it as a permitted use
in the B2 Zoning District:
Commercial Sport and Recreation Clubs - a public or private fee -supported recreational
facility located indoors or outdoors that may include swimming pools, court games, and other
similai activities.
Rather than permitting the entire use group, the committee felt that defining and allowing the specific
use would be more appropriate. This avoids opening up the district to many significant uses and
provides certainty to the County in the type of uses that would be permitted.
Planning Commission Action
Staff would request that the Planning Commission make a recommendation on the proposed
amendments in order to hold a public hearing at their next available meeting.
