CALL TO ORDER Chairman Jewell called the December 7, 2022 meeting of the Frederick County Planning Commission to order at 7:00 p.m. Chairman Jewell commenced the meeting by inviting everyone to join in a moment of silence. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Upon a motion made by Commissioner Orndoff and seconded by Commissioner Thomas the Planning Commission unanimously adopted the agenda for this evening’s meeting with a change to defer item 6A Rezoning #10-22 for Fruit Hill (Equus Capital Partners, Ltd., DTS LC, and William O. Minor) for 60 days per the Applicant request. MEETING MINUTES Upon motion made by Commissioner Thomas and seconded by Commissioner Kozel, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted the minutes from the September 21, 2022 meeting. ------------- 4 Frederick County Planning Commission Page 3986 Minutes of December 7, 2022 COMMITTEES DRRC – Mtg. 11/21/22 Commissioner Kozel reported the committee discussed three items: An Amendment to Zoning Ordinance – OM (Office-Manufacturing) Park District to expand allowed uses and remove district design requirement, this will come forward to the Planning Commission in January 2023; Amendments to Zoning Ordinance – Signs to implement “content-neutral” sign requirements, this items will go back to the DRRC for further discussion in January; and an Amendment to Subdivision Ordinance – Utilities and Easements to allow for overhead utilities under certain circumstances with the approval of a waiver by the Board of Supervisors, this item will go back to the DRRC for further discussion in January. Frederick Water Chairman Jewell reported the monthly water production was 6.9 mgd and the quarries are in excellent shape. He noted, the Board of Directors approved FY 2022 Financial Statements and approved various fee adjustments as well as land to utilize the City of Winchester water and sewer services. City of Winchester – Mtg. 11/15/22 Commissioner Pifer, Winchester City Planning Commission Liaison, reported the Commission tabled 126 townhouses near O’Sullivan plant; Greenspace requirements were discussed; and a request to vacate an alley off Whitlock Avenue was denied. Board of Supervisors Supervisor Ludwig reported, the Board of Supervisors at the October 26, 2022 meeting approved to rebate the personal property tax however the amount is yet to be determined and will be discussed further. Other Mr. John Foot, of Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley, & Walsh P.C., representing the Applicant for the Fruit Hill application came forward and shared the reasoning for the sixty day deferral. He explained, there was a new proffer proposed with physical construction of improvements to roads in the area that were not listed before; this has not been reviewed by the County attorney or Staff. He continued, there has been some confusion on his part that the reason there is no TIA finalized is because there have been ongoing discussions between VDOT and Kittleson and Associates (traffic consultant) that the modeling originally done is not correct and the models do not work. He concluded, they would prefer to bring this item back to the March 1, 2023 meeting in hopes of bringing back something better prepared. ------------- 5 Frederick County Planning Commission Page 3987 Minutes of December 7, 2022 CITIZEN COMMENTS Chairman Jewell called for citizen comments on any subject not currently on the Planning Commission’s agenda or any item that is solely a discussion item for the Commission. Gary Oates of the Stonewall District came forward and commented, he chaired the NELUP committee that consisted of five members who spent a lot of time working through the plan. He continued, there are two maps coming forward tonight; one that came out of the CPPC and one that Staff is recommending. He feels it is important to point out there is a third map that the citizen that live in that area camp up with. He noted, in the end, the committee had a plan they could stand behind. Lisa Corrick of the Stonewall District came forward and shared that she strongly opposes the Fruit Hill rezoning; having warehouses and truck traffic so close to the neighborhoods is not ideal. She is concerned with this project affecting property values and residents’ quality of life as well as the negative impacts on the roads. Ms. Corrick commented regarding the NELUP survey and the three things that were deemed most important: the preservation of agricultural land; the protection of natural historic resources; and managing truck traffic and road access. She stated she feels the Fruit Hill project represents the opposite of these three items. Michael Vorhees of the Stonewall District came forward and share is concerns with the sewer and water service being made available to all in the area and noise and light pollution. He understands a lot of time has been spent on the NELUP and commented that does not mean it is always the right ideas. Janice Wade of the Gainesboro District commented she is against extension of the mining, and she urges the Board of Supervisors to look at the reflection of the surveys that were taken. Brenda Fristoe of the Stonewall District shared she was part of the citizen work group for the NELUP. She presented an overview of what the work group had as their goal. She requested the Planning Commission reject the requests for extractive mining and designate the area as mixed use and industrial office which limits noise, pollution, and traffic. Arthur Bragg of the Stonewall District shared is concerns with the expansion of mining operations in the area as well as tunnel safety in and around that area. He feels traffic will drastically increase which will be a burden to the community. Adam Kibler came forward and shared the property being proposed for mining backs up behind his property; he is concerned with the sizes of the warehouses that will be placed there. He asked about a waterway that exists and is curious where the water will go if warehousing is constructed. Mike Webber of the Stonewall District commented regarding the NELUP; there is no mention of maintaining agriculture in the plan. He is concerned that agricultural land is becoming obsolete in Frederick County and feels the infrastructure is not in place for the proposed NELUP. Charlie Barber of the Gainesboro District shared is complaints of the noise, pollution, traffic and overall quality of life being affected by the ongoing mining. He stated he completely opposes any expansion of Carmeuse. Terry Frye of the Stonewall District commented he moved to the area for the rural setting, and he opposes the NELUP. 6 Frederick County Planning Commission Page 3988 Minutes of December 7, 2022 Logan Thompson, Operations Manager for Carmeuse came forward and shared a brief overview of the business and its intent going forward. He noted this area has large and unique limestone reserves that makes the 400 acres ideal to be changed to EM zoning which would reduce truck traffic. He commented regarding the stockpiles; they will be reducing the height of these after hearing from citizens and in the future, they will not be as tall. He concluded, Carmeuse looks forward to continuing support of the County and working with the citizens to accomplish this. Janice Dixon of the Stonewall District stated she opposes the NELUP. She referenced the hazards of Carmeuse such as water supply, noise, and the traffic impacts. No one else came forward to speak and Chairman Jewell closed the public comments portion of the meeting. ------------- PUBLIC HEARING Conditional Use Permit #10-22 for CClan, LLC submitted to construct a tractor truck and tractor truck trailer parking facility. The subject property is located north of Route 11 (Martinsburg Pike) and Milton Ray Drive and immediately south of Interstate 81 and is identified with Property Identification Number 43-21-6 in the Stonewall Magisterial District. Action – Recommend Approval Amy Feltner, Planner I, reported this is a request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a truck and trailer truck parking. The subject property is located on Milton Ray Drive, in the Stonewall Magisterial District and the Property Identification Number (PIN) 46-21-6. She shared a location map of the property and a proposed layout exhibit. Mrs. Feltner continued, tractor truck and trailer truck parking is only permitted as a Conditional Use in the M2 (General Industrial) zoning district; the property is zoned M2, and the current land use is vacant. She noted, the surrounding properties are zoned M2 and utilized for industrial purposes; the adjacent two parcels have recently been approved for tractor truck and tractor truck trailer parking under CUP #04-21 (July 14, 2021) by the same applicant. Mrs. Feltner shared the §165-204.24 Supplementary Use Regulations: A. All areas utilized for the parking of tractor trucks and the storage of trailers shall utilize a gravel or paved surface. B. All paved and gravel surfaces shall be properly maintained to ensure that dirt, mud, gravel, or the like is not distributed onto roadways. C.

All trees shall be a minimum of four feet in height at the time of planting. The Board of Supervisors may allow for alternative landscaping based on topography and/or adjacent land uses. 7 Frederick County Planning Commission Page 3989 Minutes of December 7, 2022 G. A site plan in accordance with the requirements of Article VIII shall be submitted to and approved by Frederick County. Mrs. Feltner reported, the Northeast Land Use Plan (NELUP) of the Comprehensive Plan identifies this area of the County with and industrial land use designation. Furthermore, the NELUP and the Easter Road Plan of the Comprehensive Plan depicts future Route 37 on the western boundary of this property; a goal of the Area Plan and the County’s Eastern Road Plan is the implementation of Route 37. Mrs. Feltner concluded, should the Planning Commission find this use appropriate, Staff would recommend the following conditions be placed on the CUP: 1. All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times. 2. A site plan shall be submitted and approved by Frederick County prior to the establishment of this use on these properties. The site plan for the property identified as 43-21-6 shall be designed to accommodate the future Route 37 right-of-way. 3. The site plan shall meet the requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance Section §165-204.24 Tractor truck and tractor truck trailer parking. 4. Any expansion or change of use will require a new CUP. Commissioner Thomas commented the second condition depicts the future Route 37 right-of-way; he asked what the purpose is of showing that on the plan. Mrs. Feltner explained that is in place to ensure that the Applicant is aware that it is there. Chairman Jewell inquired if there is a logging operation in the back of the property and is it part of the application or are they clearing the land. Ms. Beth Lewin, the Applicant came forward and explained the logging area is for log storage and has been there for approximately twelve years; the intent is for them to move the logs and the truck parking would be in that spot. Chairman Jewell asked how many tractor trailers will be in and out of the property on a daily basis. Ms. Lewin commented it is a little seasonal and at peak usage it could be roughly 40-50. Commissioner Brumback asked if the parking lot would be in the flood plain; on the mapping provided it appears to be. Ms. Lewin commented the area proposed does not affect the flood plain. Marisa Whitacre, of Greenway Engineering and representing the Applicant commented they are trying to avoid the flood plain and stay outside of it. Wyatt G. Pearson, Director, noted this can be addressed at the site plan stage. Commissioner Thomas asked the applicant if they recognized that the future Route 37 could be on this property. Ms. Lewin stated she is well aware of this. Commissioner Orndoff requested clarification if the logging operation would be removed from the property. Ms. Lewin stated that is correct. Chairman Jewell called for anyone who wished to speak regarding this Public Hearing to come forward at this time. Mike Webber of the Stonewall District shared his concerns with traffic in this area and noted there should be a stop light at the entrance. No one else came forward to speak and Chairman Jewell closed the public comment portion of the hearing. 8 Frederick County Planning Commission Page 3990 Minutes of December 7, 2022 Commissioner Thomas stated he is confused about the mapping provided. Mr. Pearson explained there are two maps; one is for the flood way and the other is the flood plain. The intent is to stay outside of the flood way entirely. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Orndoff and seconded by Commissioner Manuel BE IT RESOLVED, the Frederick County Planning Commission does recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit #10-22 for CClan, LLC submitted to construct a tractor truck and tractor truck trailer parking facility. The subject property is located north of Route 11 (Martinsburg Pike) and Milton Ray Drive and immediately south of Interstate 81 and is identified with Property Identification Number 43-21-6 in the Stonewall Magisterial District.

The property is located at 1107 Cedar Creek Grade, Winchester, Virginia. The property is identified with Property Identification Number 63-A-2F in the Back Creek Magisterial District. Action – Recommend Approval Kayla Peloquin, Planner I, reported this Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application is for a humanitarian aid organizational office. The 5.0 acre +/- property is located at 1107 Cedar Creek Grade in the Back Creek Magisterial District, it is zoned RA (Rural Areas), and the Property Identification Number (PIN) is 63-A-2F. Mrs. Peloquin explained the Applicant proposes the following: • Utilizing an existing barn on the property for an office space and storage area for donated home furnishings. • Using the driveway to access the barn that also serves the owner’s residence. • Access to the barn will be limited to staff/volunteers of partner organizations during scheduled hours and those brining donations.no more than 2 employees working part-time as well as 10-12 volunteers on a rotating/periodic basis. Mrs. Peloquin presented a location map of the property. She continued, the Zoning Ordinance (§165-101.02) defines a humanitarian aid organizational office as “A charitable organization established to provide relief assistance to an identified distressed, underprivileged group. Relief would be provided in such forms as clothing, medical supplies, or educational contributions. The organization must provide a public beneficial interest to the community.” A humanitarian aid organizational office is allowed in the RA District with a CUP. She noted, the Comprehensive Plan intends for this parcel to remain rural, and the proposed use is consistent with that goal. Mrs. Peloquin concluded, should the Planning Commission find this use appropriate, Staff would recommend the following conditions be placed on the CUP: 1. All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times. 9 Frederick County Planning Commission Page 3991 Minutes of December 7, 2022 2. A minor site plan shall be approved by Frederick County prior to the establishment of this use. All supplementary use regulations in §165-204.09 shall be addressed. 3. No residential uses are permitted in any accessory structures on the property. 4. Any expansion or change of use will require a new CUP. Mrs. Peloquin noted, condition #3 was added after the formal agenda was sent to the Planning Commission Members. Commissioner Brumback asked if the schedule hours would typically be during the day. Mr. Byess, the Applicant came forward and shared an overview of the proposed use; he noted the hours of operation have not been determined yet. Commissioner Thomas asked what would be done in the building. Mr. Byess explained, this is an existing program, the building will be storage area for donations. Chairman Jewell called for anyone who wished to speak regarding this Public Hearing to come forward at this time. No one came forward to speak and Chairman Jewell closed the public comment portion of the hearing. Commissioner Thomas commented the only impact would be at the entrance and that has already been approved by VDOT. Commissioner Brumback stated it was previously a farm market so she feels this will be fine in regards to the traffic and entrance. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Brumback and seconded by Commissioner Markert BE IT RESOLVED, the Frederick County Planning Commission does unanimously recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit #11-22 for Richard and Margaret Byess submitted for a Humanitarian aid organizational office.

(Note: Commissioner Brannon was absent from the meeting) ------------- ACTION ITEM Waiver Request for Willow Run Project – request to waive the public road requirement and allow Willow Run to utilize private roads. Action – Recommend Approval Commissioner Manuel would abstain from all discussion on this item for a possible conflict of interest. 10 Frederick County Planning Commission Page 3992 Minutes of December 7, 2022 Amy Feltner, Planner I, reported this is a request to waive the public street requirements required in the Subdivision Ordinance §144-24(C); this request is associated with Master Development Plan (MDP) #06-22, currently in review. She presented a long range land use map and the MDP of the area. Mrs. Feltner continued, the Board of Supervisors may provide a waiver to the public street requirement to allow for a complete system of private streets within proffered age -restricted communities §144-24(C)(2)(b). She noted, as a condition of this request, and as required by the ordinance, the proposed private street base and surface shall meet or exceed VDOT standards. Commissioner Thomas commented he would like to see the developer or owner of these projects be required to make the citizens aware of the cost associated with the private streets. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Brumback and seconded by Commissioner Thomas BE IT RESOLVED, the Frederick County Planning Commission does unanimously recommend approval of a Waiver Request for Willow Run Project – request to waive the public road requirement and allow Willow Run to utilize private roads. (Note: Commissioner Brannon was absent from the meeting) ------------- OTHER Northeast Land Use Plan (NELUP) Wyatt G. Pearson, Director, shared the path that the NELUP has taken thus far: November 2021 a Citizen Workgroup was formed; July 2022 it was taken to the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC); August 2022 the Planning Commission held a work session; October 2022 there were two Public Information Sessions and Surveying; December 2022 the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors held discussions; in the coming New Year it will be sent for agency comments specifically VDOT; and in the New Year it will come before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as a Public Hearing. He continued, with regards to outreach and notification, there were roadside signs at schools, the park, and the convenience site; and 3,859 direct mailers to NELUP residents. Mr. Pearson noted, this resulted in 2,295 unique webpage visits; 223 online survey responses, and 100+ citizens at both public information sessions. He shared graphic data sheets along with graphics of the survey results. Mr. Pearson continued, Staff’s recommendations do not currently align with Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC) recommendations (before the public outreach). This Plan update was not a full re-evaluation of all future land uses. He explained, property owners/developers are entitled to submit targeted Comprehensive Plan Amendments (PCA) and conduct the necessary studies. Mr. Pearson shared the following information is what Staff is recommending to change since the Planning Commission was last updated: 1. Properties northeast of Old Charlestown Road and Route 11 (decline a request to incorporate Multi-family Residential) 2. Property northwest of Hopewell Road and Martinsburg Pike (incorporate request for alternative Hopewell Road realignment – further study needed) 11 Frederick County Planning Commission Page 3993 Minutes of December 7, 2022 3. Properties in the vicinity of Branson Springs Road, Woodbine Road, and Grace Church Road (plan for uses that align better with the community’s desires and represent the highest/best use for the property – remove EM and add Industrial/MUIO) 4. Properties southwest of Rest Church Road and Zachary Ann Lane (plan for uses that align better with the community’s desires, represent the highest/best use for the property, and minimize truck traffic at the interchange – designate as MUIO instead of Industrial) 5. Miscellaneous Plan Modifications (sensitive Natural Areas, split interchange, and Transportation corrections, and Hiatt Run Residential) Mr. Pearson presented the updates on location maps. He noted this NELUP draft update is presented for discussion and comments will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors. Commissioner Manuel requested clarification if Staff will wait to get agency comments. Mr. Pearson stated that is correct; once the Board of Supervisors feels it is appropriate to move to a Public Hearing, it will then be sent out to the agencies. He noted, VDOT has a state requirement that they are allowed 30 days to review any Comprehensive Plan changes. Commissioner Kerns thanked Staff for all the hard work on this and for considering the public input. He requested explanation on what happens to the NELUP compared to the Comprehensive Plan should this move forward. Mr. Pearson explained, the Comprehensive Plan serves as a guidance for the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors; as applications are evaluated the Comprehensive Plan is used. Regarding the NELUP, is it technically an appendix of the Comprehensive Plan that designates a small area plan which is in more detail than the Comprehensive Plan for a specific area. Commissioner Thomas inquired as to the population of the area (23,000 acres). Mr. Pearson explained, the number he can share is the number mailings which is not the population but rather property owners which was around 4,000. Commissioner Thomas appreciates the public comment, but he stated the County needs to be careful not to let 100 citizens of that population dictate where we go with planning and need to look at what is best for the County. He commented we cannot take away citizens livelihood and their rights to use their land, this could be setting up for a taking. Mr. Pearson commented, the public input needs to factor in in some way. Regarding the comment about a taking, that is a very specific legal term, and it does not apply to the Comprehensive Plan modifications. Commissioner Dawson referenced the Clorox project that was denied years ago and the loss of revenue that could have been available to the County. She shared truck traffic statistics regarding transport of limestone. She concluded, a small group of people should not dictate what affects all taxpayers. Commissioner Markert inquired if what the CPPC proposed, and the draft plan will both go to the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Pearson commented that is an option the Planning Commission can suggest. Commissioner Markert referenced the survey; he noted it shows a lot of opposition in the numbers and he does not agree with making a lot of changes just based off of these numbers. He stated of the 325 acres at Carmeuse, the stockpiles can be moved and if the EM and Industrial are combined he would not want to prevent them from coming in for a rezoning. Mr. Pearson explained, nothing in the draft NELUP would prevent Carmeuse from submitting a rezoning application; Staff would include in their comments to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors if the application is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Brumback asked what the vision for the Mixed Use Industrial Office (MUIO) is. Mr. Pearson noted it focuses on the EDA target industries. Commissioner Orndoff commented he was part of the NELUP citizens work group and he learned it is important to understand that the only guarantee with a property if the way it is zoned. Commissioner Aikens shared his biggest 12 Frederick County Planning Commission Page 3994 Minutes of December 7, 2022 issue is that the DRRC is revamping the OM district; he feels the need is there to figure out the OM first and recommends doing so before approval of the NELUP. Mr. Pearson clarified the ordinance amendment process; it had previously been interpreted that the MUIO could only be rezoned and be Comprehensive Plan consistent to the district just as described; part of the changes being made to that ordinance is to decouple this future land use designation in the zoning district and allow for things such as a mix of zoning designations to be an appropriate designation for MUIO. He noted, plans and efforts to develop plans can become stale if lingering too long prior to adoption. Commissioner Thomas agrees with comments made; he is concerned that Staff has taken recommendations from CPPC and from the public and is going to submit something else to the Board of Supervisors. He stated he feels Staff needs to go back to the CPPC and get something more consistent and have one plan for the Board of Supervisors. Chairman Jewell commented the job of the Planning Commission is to make recommendations based on the Comprehensive Plan and the Board of Supervisors makes the final decision; rather than send back to the CPPC he suggested to send on to the Board of Supervisors with three options from (working group, CPPC, and Staff). The Planning Commissioner unanimously agreed to forward the NELUP draft update back to the CPPC for further study and review. ------------- ADJOURNMENT No further business remained to be discussed and a motion was made by Commissioner Dawson to adjourn the meeting. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Markert and unanimously passed. The meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ____________________________ John F.

Tyler Klein, AICP, Senior Planner Reviewed Action Planning Commission: 02/15/23 Pending Board of Supervisors: 03/08/23 Pending EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & STAFF CONCLUSION FOR THE 02/15/23 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: This is an application to rezone +/- 1.345-acres from RA (Rural Areas) District to B2 (General Business) District on a property totaling +/- 3.96-acres with proffers to allow for the expansion of an automotive dealership in the Shawnee Magisterial District. The proposed rezoning does not include the “mix of uses” envisioned by the Urban Center designation in the Comprehensive Plan. However, it may otherwise be appropriate as an expansion to an existing business. Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding this rezoning application to the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. The Applicant should be prepared to adequately address all concerns raised by the Planning Commission. 15 Rezoning #01-23 Credit Car Nation (1467 LLC) January 31, 2023 Page 2 This report is prepared by the Frederick County Planning Staff to provide information to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to assist them in making a decision on this application. It may also be useful to others interested in this zoning matter. Unresolved issues concerning this application are noted by staff where relevant throughout this staff report. PROPOSAL: To rezone +/-1.345-acres from RA (Rural Areas) District to B2 (General Business) District with proffers. LOCATION: The +/- 3.96-acre subject property is located at 1465, 1467 & 1481 Front Royal Pike (Route 522), Winchester.

The Comprehensive Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to protect and improve the living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence; the Plan is a composition of policies used to plan for the future physical development of Frederick County. The Area Plans and Appendix I of the Comprehensive Plan are the primary implementation tools and will be instrumental to the future planning efforts of the County. Land Use Compatibility The Comprehensive Plan and the Senseny/Eastern Frederick Area Plan (SEFLUP) provide guidance on the future development of the property. The Plan identifies the subject property with a “urban-center” land use designation. The “Paper Mill Road Urban Center/Neighborhood Village” provides an opportunity to introduce a mix of uses into a largely undeveloped area in a way that builds the identity and enhances the economic performance of these communities. The property is also partially within the limits of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). The limits of the proposed area to-be-rezoned is outside of the SWSA. Staff notes the application does not propose use of public utilities and will instead utilize the existing well and on-site septic system. The Comprehensive Plan designation of “urban center” is consistent with the existing and proposed B2 zoning of the site. Staff notes the proposed rezoning does not include the “mix of uses” envisioned by the Urban Center designation in the Comprehensive Plan. However, it may otherwise be appropriate as an expansion to an existing business (automotive dealership). 3) Access & Transportation The site will continue to be accessed from an existing commercial entrance from Route 522. No new trips are anticipated; the owner intends to relocate its existing office/finance department from the main dealership structure into the single-family detached house (change of use). The Eastern Road Plan of the Comprehensive Plan identifies a future shared use “trail” along the property frontage with Front Royal Pike. A shared use path has been proposed in the proffer statement (Proffer #1(b)). 4) Potential Impacts & Proffers The proffer statement dated December 15, 2022, restricts the use of the +/- 1.345-acre property, presently zoned RA, to “automotive dealer” and “general business office” consistent with the existing business on the remainder of the property (Proffer #3). Other impacts to the County’s 17 Rezoning #01-23 Credit Car Nation (1467 LLC) January 31, 2023 Page 4 capital facilities, such as Fire and Rescue services, have also been mitigated (Proffer #2). The applicant has also proffered a “full screen buffer” along property boundaries where the adjoining property use is residential (Proffer # 4).

Car Credit Nation (CCN) has been in business for over 25 years on the east side of Front Royal Pike and has recently purchase two parcels adjacent to their business with the intent of growing the business. The recently purchased parcels are zoned RA, and CCN desires to have them rezoned to B2 to match the existing 2.614-acre B2 zoning on the parcel. Access to the site will be from Front Royal Pike using the existing site entrance. Figure 1 shows the location of the project and the rezoning area. The parent parcel of which the proposed B2 area is a part, has been zoned B2 for at least 20 years. The adjacent proposed rezoning area was two lots: one with a single family home and another undeveloped. Figure 1 Project location map Proposed B2 Existing B2 26 2 The single-family home remains on the site and will be remodeled to house the finance division of the business. The undeveloped lot in the rear will be used to park cars coming in from auctions prior to their sale. The site is bounded by Route 522 (Front Royal Pike) to the west, Winchester Baptist Church to the north, undeveloped land to the east, and a 10-acre residential lot to the south. Site Suitability 100 Year Flood Plains – The site is outside of the 100-year flood plain as can be seen in the FEMA flood hazard mapping shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 Floodplain Map Wetlands – A desktop review of the US Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetland Inventory mapping shows there are no known wetlands on the site. See Figure 3 Rezoning Area 27 3 Figure 3 National Wetland Inventory Map Steep Slopes – Based on field observations and 5 ft contour mapping provided by the Frederick County GIS, the site has been found to be generally flat, without any steep slopes. Mature Woodlands – There are no areas of mature woodlands on the site. Prime Agricultural Soils – Based on data from the USDA Web Soil Survey, 23.5% of the area to be rezoned is comprised of Berks channery silt loam soils. The remaining 76.5% is comprised of Clearbrook channery silt loam soils. Both are classified by the USDA as “Not Prime Farmland”. See Figure 4. Rezoning Area 28 4 Figure 4 USDA Soils Map Soil or Bedrock Conditions which would create Construction Difficulties or Hazards – A review of the USDA Web Soil Survey indicates that the depth restrictive features is 20 to 40 inches in both soil classifications. If site excavations are required to go that deep, blasting or hoe ramming may be required. Surrounding Properties The proposed rezoning area is bounded by Route 522 (Front Royal Pike) to the west, Winchester Baptist Church to the north, undeveloped land to the east, and a 10-acre residential lot to the south. All adjoining property is zoned RA. Traffic A traffic impact study has not been required for this rezoning due to its minimal impact on traffic. The existing house will be remodeled and will serve as the finance division office for Car Credit Nation. Up to five people will be working in the office to process online transactions, and two to four customers are expected to visit the office each day. This makes the facility a “Small Office Building” by ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) definition. 29 5 Table 1 shows the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th edition trips that are expected to result from the finance division moving into the structure. Table 1 Trip Generation As can be seen, the traffic impact is negligible. Sewage Conveyance and Treatment Wastewater from the home site (future finance office) will be collected in the existing septic and discharged through the existing drain field at the rear of the home. The number of employees and customers is expected to be very low resulting in minimal wastewater generation. Water Supply The existing home (future finance office) will continue to draw water from the onsite well. The number of employees and customers is expected to be very low resulting in minimal wastewater generation. Drainage Drainage from the site flows to the south to Opequon Creek. Post-development drainage from the site will be routed through stormwater management facilities to control the quantity and quality of stormwater leaving the site. Solid Waste Disposal Facilities Collection of solid waste will occur through on-site dumpsters and private haulers. The Civil Engineering Reference Manual, 4th edition, uses a solid waste generation rate of 5.4 cubic yards per 1,000 square feet of floor area annually. Applying this rate, 1,125 sf finance division will enter exit enter exit enter exit Small Office Building (712) 1000 SQ FT 1.125 2 0 0 2 8 8 AM PM Trip Generation Report Car Credit Nation Frederick County, VA 15-Oct-22 Units AmountLand Use Source: ITE Trip Generation - 11th Edition ADT 30 6 generate 6.1 cubic yards of solid waste per year. The solid waste will be transferred to the Frederick County Landfill Facility by private licensed commercial carriers. Historical Site and Structures A review of the online Virginia Dept. of Historic Resources records did not show any historic architectural or archeological sites in the proposed rezoning area. One site was observed which is site 138-5005, identified as Route 11, Route 522 with no further information available. Figure 5 VA Department of Historic Resources Map Impact on Community Facilities Educational Facilities – This project will not add children to the school system. Emergency Services – Police protection will be provided by the Frederick County Sheriff Department. The property is in the first response area for the Millwood Fire and Rescue station. Therefore, response times from the station to the site are reasonable. 31 7 Parks and Recreation – This project will not add to the population of Frederick County and, therefore, will not increase the demand for Parks and Recreational services. Solid Waste – As previously stated, the site will generate 6.1 cubic yards of waste per year. Waste will be collected in private bins and transported by private haulers to the Frederick County land fill. 32 Rezoning CommentsVirginia Department of TransportationMail to; Virginia Department of TransportationAttn: Resident Engineer 14031 Old Valley Pike Edinburg, Virginia 22824(540) 984-5600 Hand deliver to: Virginia Department of TransportationAttn: Resident Engineer 2275 Northwestern Pike Winchester, Virginia 22603Applicant: Please fill out the information as accurately as possible in order to assist the VirginiaDepartment of Transportation with their review.

Tyler Klein, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment – OM Office-Manufacturing Park District – Public Hearing DATE: February 6, 2023 Proposal & Background: This is proposal to amend the OM (Office-Manufacturing) Park District to address stated concerns regarding the implementation of the zoning district, to better implement the Economic Development Authority’s (EDA) targeted industries, and to remove the link between OM District (zoning) and the mixed- use industrial office (MUIO) land-use designation in the Comprehensive Plan. This proposal includes amending the district name to “Technology-Manufacturing Park District (TM),” adding additional permitted and secondary uses, and amending and removing required district design standards. The proposed amendment would also create a greater allowance for warehousing/distribution type uses accessory to a primary use. Additionally, properties zoned into the district would not be required to submit a master development plan (MDP), expediting time to market for potential targeted industries. Additional “clean-up” amendments are proposed throughout the Zoning Ordinance to reflect the change in the name of the zoning district to TM (Technology-Manufacturing Park). See attachment 3. The zoning ordinance text amendment originated from discussions related to the update to the County’s Northeast Land Use Plan (NELUP) which contains nodes of “mixed-use industrial office” (MUIO) planned land uses, which are presently intended to be implemented with this district. The OM District regulations were adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2008 (and last amended in 2019). The current OM District has not been well utilized or implemented in practice. Current Zoning Ordinance Standards (§165-605): The intent of the OM Office-Manufacturing Park District is to implement the mixed-use industrial/office land use classification of the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The OM Park District is designed to provide areas for research-and-development centers, office parks, and minimal-impact industrial and assembly uses. Uses are allowed which do not create noise, smoke, dust or other hazards. This district shall be located in a campus-like atmosphere near major transportation facilities. Meeting Summaries & Requested Action: The DRRC discussed this item on September 28, 2022, and November 21, 2022, and recommended additional revisions which have been incorporated into the draft. The DRRC did not achieve consensus on the proposed changes. The Planning Commission discussed this item on January 18, 2023, and supported the item going forward to the Board of Supervisors for additional discussion (Commissioners Aikens & Dawson absent). The Board of Supervisors discussed this item on January 25, 2023, and expressed support for sending the item forward to public hearing, noting changes were necessary to the district to make it attractive for development of targeted industries. 55 DRRC Discussion OA – OM Park District February 6, 2023 Page 2 The attached document shows the existing ordinance with the proposed changes as drafted by Staff and reviewed by the DRRC and Planning Commission. Staff is seeking a recommendation from the Planning Commission to forward to the Board of Supervisors on this proposed ordinance amendment. MTK/pd Attachments: 1. Revised ordinance with additions shown in track changes. 2. Revised ordinance clean copy. 3.

Tyler Klein, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment – Signs – Information/Discussion DATE: January 27, 2023 Proposal & Background: This is a proposal to amend the sign ordinance to implement changes because of the Reed v. Town of Gilbert ruling (SCOTUS, 2015). Specifically, the changes proposed ensure content-neutral sign regulations. Most of the sign standards (size, height, number, location) remain unchanged. Staff would note one specific change in the sign standard is the addition of “Sign, Multi-Tenant Frontage” which further clarifies how much wall area can be allocated for signage for buildings with more than one tenant (for example strip retail centers). This proposal was initiated by staff at the direction of the County Attorney. Current Zoning Ordinance Standards: This section is established to regulate the erection, number, area, height, location, type and maintenance of signs to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the public and the orderly development of the County by protecting property values, and providing adequate signage for businesses and motorists; protecting and enhancing the image, appearance and economic vitality of the County, and supporting the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan (§165-201.06). Meeting Summary & Requested Action: The Development Review & Regulations Committee (DRRC) discussed this item on January 26, 2023, and we supportive of the proposed changes. The attached document shows the existing ordinance with the proposed changes as drafted by Staff and the County Attorney. Staff is seeking comments from the Planning Commission to forward to the Board of Supervisors for discussion. MTK/pd Attachments: 1. Revised ordinance with additions shown in track changes. 2.

The CIP is intended to assist the Board of Supervisors in preparation of the County budget. In addition to determining priorities for capital expenditures, the County must also ensure that projects contained within the CIP conform to the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the projects are reviewed with considerations regarding health, safety, and the general welfare of the public, and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. When the CIP is adopted, it becomes a component of the Comprehensive Plan. The inclusion of projects on the CIP is in no way an indication that Frederick County will be undertaking these projects. The CIP is strictly advisory; it is intended for use as capital facilities planning document, not for requesting funding allocations. Once adopted, project priorities and cost estimates may change throughout the year based on changing circumstances. It is also possible that projects may not be funded during the year indicated in the CIP. The status of any project becomes increasingly uncertain the further out the project date is identified. The CIP is also updated annually, and projects are removed from the plans as they are completed or as priorities change. CIP Components The CIP provides project priorities that are submitted by various County Agencies and tables that outline the projects and cost estimates. Within the tables, columns for each year show the funding needs that would be requested in the corresponding budget cycle. In addition, those projects that are long range projects have been placed at the end of the CIP table, outside of the five-year window. The CIP includes three separate tables; the first table shows County funded projects and the second and third tables cover Transportation projects and Airport projects which are primarily funded through other sources. The CIP includes projects from the following: Schools, Parks and Recreation, Regional Library, County Administration, Fire and Rescue, Sheriff’s Office, Public Safety Communications, Transportation and the Winchester Regional Airport. 89 2023-2028 CIP – Discussion February 7, 2022 Page 2 Background – Discussions The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC) will discuss the 2023-2028 CIP capital improvement project requests at their meeting on February 13, 2023. The role of the CPPC in the CIP process is to ensure that the various departmental project requests are in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Conclusion Staff is seeking a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the Board of Supervisors regarding the 2023-2028 CIP. It is also the role of the Planning Commission to affirm that the 2023-2028 CIP is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. If adopted, the CIP will become a component of the Comprehensive Plan, which would satisfy the review requirement of Section 15.2-2232 of the Code of Virginia, which states that no public facility shall be constructed unless said facility is a “feature shown” within a jurisdiction’s comprehensive plan. Please contact the Planning Department should you have any questions regarding this information.

The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) consists of a schedule for major capital expenditures for the County for the ensuing five years. The CIP is updated annually. Projects are removed from the plans as they are completed or as priorities change. The plan is intended to assist the Board of Supervisors in preparation of the County budget. In addition to determining priorities for capital expenditures, the County must also ensure that projects contained within the CIP conform to the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the projects are reviewed with considerations regarding health, safety, and the general welfare of the public, and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Once the CIP is adopted, it becomes a component of the Comprehensive Plan and provides a link between the documents and potential proffered contributions made with future rezoning projects. The inclusion of projects to the CIP is in no way an indication that Frederick County will be undertaking these projects. The CIP is strictly advisory; it is intended for use, as a capital facilities planning document, not for requesting funding allocations. Once adopted, project priorities may change throughout the year based on changing circumstances. It is also possible that projects may not be funded during the year that is indicated in the CIP. The status of any project becomes increasingly uncertain the further in the future it is projected. 93 2 PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS Frederick County Public Schools Frederick County Public Schools continues to commence and complete capital projects that have been priorities from previous years. The top capital improvement priority for the schools is the construction of a fourth high school. The renovation and expansion of Armel and Apple Pie Ridge Elementary are the second and third highest priority respectively. Parks & Recreation The top capital improvement priority for Parks and Recreation is the Abrams Creek Greenway Trail. This facility would provide recreational opportunities for residents of this corridor along with the surrounding communities and was emphasized in the Senseny/Eastern Frederick Urban Areas Plan. Other top priorities include the Old Charlestown Road Park development, and Sherando Softball Complex. Handley Regional Library The Handley Regional Library recommends three projects. The library’s top priority is a new library branch in the Gainesboro area. The second and third priorities are for new library branches throughout the County which include the areas of Senseny/Greenwood Road and Route 522 South; both of which are anticipated to be located within the UDA (Urban Development Area) in locations consistent with the approved area plans - the Senseny/Eastern Frederick Area Plan, and the Southern Frederick Area Plan. County Administration There is one request from Public Works–the Double Toll Gate Convenience Site. County Administration projects continue to be the County Office Annex (Former Sunnyside Plaza Shopping Center), the joint County Administration and School Administration Building and the future replacement of the Joint Judicial Center. General Government Capital Expenditures is also included. This item addresses those general government capital expenditures that may fall below the established $100,000 departmental threshold. 94 3 Fire and Rescue The top project for Fire and Rescue is the construction Fire & Rescue Station #22, a new facility located in the vicinity of Route 277 also identified as a priority is the apparatus needed for this facility. Project two includes the acquisition of new apparatus for Station 21, and project three is the construction of Station #23, a new facility located in the vicinity of Crosspointe with the necessary apparatus. Fire and Rescue Volunteer Company Capital Equipment Requests The revolving fund in the amount of $1,000,000 for the benefit of Fire and Rescue Services was established remains a component of the CIP. This capital expenditure fund is for purchasing additional and replacement capital equipment fire and rescue vehicles and equipment that may fall below the $100,000 guideline established by the Finance Committee. It was determined that the inclusion of such a priority would be beneficial in ensuring that significant capital expenses are identified in the County’s capital planning and budget process. This project is primarily for the benefit of the individual Volunteer Fire and Rescue Companies. Also included are individual project and priorities from the volunteer stations. Sheriff’s Office The Sheriff’s Office has included two projects in their CIP. The top project is the construction of an eight-bay steel building for housing of large, specialized vehicles that require coverage, and their other project is a firearms training simulator. Public Safety Communications The Project 25 Public Safety Radio Network is top public safety – communications priority. This project includes the purchase, construction, and deployment of Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International Project 25 (P25) radio communications system to support mission-critical public safety communications within the County. This system will provide radio and paging communications for the Frederick County Sheriff’s Department, Frederick County Fire & Rescue, volunteer fire & rescue companies, and the Department of Public Safety Communications. This project is currently underway. 95 4 Transportation Committee The Transportation Committee continues to provide project requests for the CIP. Virginia State Code allows for transportation projects to be included within a locality's CIP. Funding for transportation project requests will likely come from a combination of state funds, developers, revenue sharing, various other revenue programs and possibly local funds used to leverage those funding sources. The Transportation Committee has included 27 priority projects. As projects and applications are developed, they could include all or a key portion a prioritized project. The top three priorities include Exit 313 Bridge Replacement and Capacity Improvements, and Renaissance Drive (Phase 2), and the Route 277 turn lane extension at Warrior Drive. The inclusion of the Eastern Road Plan Improvements item at number 28 once again emphasizes the connection between the CIP and potential proffered contributions made with rezoning projects which are aimed at mitigating potential transportation impacts identified in the Comprehensive Plan. Winchester Regional Airport Funding for airport projects is derived through a complex formula where the federal and state governments contribute a majority of the funding, with Frederick County and the other jurisdictions providing the remaining funding. The construction of a new aviation terminal to support future airport operations continues to be number one in the CIP, followed by the Taxiway “A” Relocation (design/construction). Other projects focus on land and easement acquisition in support of airport development to meet Federal Aviation requirements. The vast majority of the funding for these improvements comes from the FAA and VDA. 96 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! £¤11 £¤522 £¤522 £¤50 £¤11 £¤50 §¨¦66 §¨¦81 §¨¦81 §¨¦81 §¨¦81 §¨¦81 ¬«7 ¬«37 ¬«127 ¬«277 ¬«55 ¬«259 ¬«37 Station 16Gainesboro Station 13Clear Brook Station 19NorthMountain Station 15Round Hill Station 18Greenwood Station 11Stephens City Station 12Middletown Station 17Star Tannery Station 20ReynoldsStore Station 14Gore 3 1 3, 4 3 2 1, 2 1 0 10,000 20,0005,000 Feet02.5 51.25 Miles V 2023 - 2028Frederick CountyCapital Im provements Plan2023 - 2028Capital ImprovementsSpecific or Approximate Locations Airport 1 Library Branch - Gainesboro2 Library Branch - Rt 522 South3 Library Branch - Senseny & Greenwood Library 1 £¤522 2 £¤522 1 Steel Building Sheriff's Office 1 1 Double Toll Gate Convenience Site Expansion2 Sunnyside County Office Annex County Administration Fire & R escue - Volunteer Stations Station 21Millwood Station 1 Fire & Rescue Station 222 Fire & Rescue Station 22 Apparatus3 Fire & Rescue Station 234 Fire & Rescue Station 23 Apparatus Fire & R escue 97 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

A description of the information in this table is explained below. Projects Ranked by Department - The priority rating assigned by each agency or department for their requested projects. County Contribution - The estimated dollar value that will be contributed for each project. This value is listed by individual fiscal years and by total contributions over the five-year period. The total contribution column, located to the right of the fiscal year columns, does not include debt service projections. Notes - Indicates the footnotes that apply to additional funding sources for particular projects. Total Project Costs - The cost for each project, including the County allocations and other funding sources. PROJECT FUNDING The projects included in Table 1 have a total projected cost to the County of $433,467,928, this figure excludes Airport requests and transportation projects as these are primarily funded through other sources. While the CIP is primarily used to cover the next five years, much of the project costs have been identified beyond the next five years. • School projects are funded through a combination of loans from the Virginia Public School Authority and the Virginia Literary Fund. • Funding for Parks and Recreation Department projects will come from the unreserved fund balance of the County. The Parks and Recreation Commission actively seeks grants and private sources of funding for projects not funded by the County. • The inclusion of transportation projects to the CIP is in no way an indication that Frederick County will be undertaking these projects.

The site is located at the end of Justes Drive behind Admiral Byrd MS. This school will be designed for collaborative education, similar to Aylor MS, with a variety of learning spaces to meet the needs of a variety of learning styles and to impart skills necessary in today’s working world. Capital Cost: $137,400,000 Justification: This project will address overcrowding and expected growth in high school student enrollment in the school division over the next several years. Construction Schedule: FY 25-26 PRIORITY 2 - Armel Elementary School Addition and Renovation Description: Armel ES opened in 1991 and has served continuously as a K-5 elementary school since that time. The school contains 70,281 square feet and has a program capacity of 580 students. As of October 31, 2022, the school has 621 students. Eight classrooms will be added to Armel ES, to accommodate the additional growth in the attendance zone, particularly Lake Frederick. Capital Cost: $11,500,000 Justification: Armel Elementary School is in good condition; however, growth in the attendance zone will need to be addressed through the addition of classrooms to the facility. Construction Schedule: FY 25-26 PRIORITY 3 – Apple Pie Ridge Elementary School Phase 2 Renovation Description: Apple Pie Ridge Elementary School opened in 1974 and has served continuously as an elementary school since that time. The school and auxiliary building contains 65,120 square feet. The school has a program capacity of 509 students. 107 16 Currently the building serves grades K-5. The building is in good condition; however, several major areas need to be addressed, including modernizing open classroom spaces, ADA compliance, energy conservation, security, and upgrades of fire alarms, electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems. Capital Cost: $29,000,000 Justification: Apple Pie Ridge Elementary School is 48 years old and renovations are needed to a number of areas to ensure the economical and efficient operations of the school for years to come. Construction Schedule: FY 26-27 PRIORITY 4 – Sherando High School Renovations and Expansion Description: Sherando High School opened in 1993. The facility contains 239,517 square feet and has a program capacity of 1,323 students serving grades 9-12. Several major areas need to be addressed in a renovation, including reorganization and addition of classrooms and storage space to better equip the building to support collaborative education. Because we want the facility to last another 30 years, facility infrastructure will be renewed and updated, and finishes will be refreshed. Other areas to be addressed are security, traffic safety, and gender equity in athletic facilities. Capital Cost: $125,600,000 Justification: Sherando is 29 years old and will be years older by the time we start to renovate it. Renovations are needed to ensure the economical, efficient, and effective operation of the school for years to come. Modern instruction requires that a variety of learning spaces be provided, including collaborative spaces and project labs (similar to maker spaces). Transportation safety concerns exist on and around the school site at Sherando during arrival and dismissal. Sherando does not have a softball field on site, instead using a softball field in Sherando Park. This represents an equity issue between boys and girls sports and is contrary to FCPS’ policy of equity between boys and girls sports. Construction Schedule: FY 25-26 PRIORITY 5 – Jordan Spring Elementary School Classroom Addition Description: Jordan Springs ES opened in 2020 and serves as a K-5 elementary school. The school contains 84,375 square feet and has a program capacity of 500 students. As of October 31, 2022, the school has 586 students. A four-classroom addition is proposed onto Jordan Springs ES. Capital Cost: $3,700,000 108 17 Justification: Both recent and expected growth in the attendance zone will need to be addressed through two strategies: the addition of classrooms to the facility and an attendance zone rezoning. Neither strategy alone is sufficient to address enrollment growth at JSES. The school will need to be suitably sized to serve Snowden Bridge when the subdivision is built out. Construction Schedule: FY 25-26 PRIORITY 6 – Onsite Traffic Safety Improvements at Sherando, Greenwood Mill, Frederick County Middle/Gainesboro, Indian Hollow, and Armel/Transportation Description: Traffic safety concerns exist at several school sites that require site improvements. These needs have been going unmet for some time, and so have been combined into a single capital project. Improvements include rearrangement of parking lots, bus loops and parent drop-off loops, additional site access, improvements to pedestrian facilities, and separation of bus and car traffic. Capital Cost: $2,900,000 Justification: This work is needed to provide sites that are as safe as possible. Currently we experience traffic backups/overloads, conflicting traffic flows, and difficulty entering state roads at these sites during arrival and dismissal. We are concerned that frustration with the current situations will lead some drivers and walkers to make bad decisions. Construction Schedule: TBD 109 18 Parks & Recreation Department Project Priority List PRIORITY 1 – Abrams Creek Trail Description: 10' wide, asphalt, shared-use trail along Abrams Creek from Senseny Road to Channing Drive. It is estimated the trail will have six bridge stream crossings and will be approximately 3 miles in length. As outlined below, the project is envisioned in three phases of approximately 1 mile each. Each phase will have logical beginning and ending points and be usable trail sections in themselves. Phase 1 from Senseny Road to Woodstock Lane. Phase 2 from Woodstock Lane to Woody's Place, and Phase 3 from Woody's Place to Channing Drive. Capital Cost: $4,099,822 (grant funding anticipated) Justification: This facility would provide recreational opportunities for residents and provide an alternate means of entering and exiting the City of Winchester from Eastern Frederick County. This project is intended to meet the needs of the community as identified in the 2022 Frederick County Parks and Recreation Community Survey, and the 2012 Virginia Outdoors Plan Survey. Construction Schedule: Phase I – FY 23-24, Phase II and III – Beyond FY 27 (The construction schedule will follow VDOT funding. Phase I is funded through VDOT grant) PRIORITY 2 – Old Charlestown Road Park Development Description: Old Charlestown Road Park, situated on land proffered by the Snowden Bridge development provides land for the provision of an active recreation park. The above park is to include athletic fields suitable for league play. Fields, restrooms, and parking are part of the park concept. Capital Cost: $3,862,740 (grant funding anticipated) Justification: The overall park design is informed by the Snowden Bridge (formerly Stephenson Village) rezoning proffer of 2003 and public input sessions in 2020. Plans are to provide rectangular fields and hard surface courts at this location. There are no public rectangular fields in the north of Frederick County. Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 25-26 110 19 PRIORITY 3 - Sherando Park North - Softball Complex Description: This project completes the development vision for the SE area of Sherando Park located north of Rt 277. This vision is expressed in the 2016 North Sherando Park Master Plan update. Included are softball fields to complete the complex, a shared use trail segment, roadway and parking. Capital Cost: $988,880 Justification: This facility would provide recreational opportunities for the entire Frederick County area. In addition to its use as a recreational facility, it will be used by the Frederick County school system. Presently, there are ten softball/baseball fields within the county’s regional park system. Eight of ten existing fields must serve a dual purpose of facilitating youth baseball as well as youth and adult softball programs. With the increased usage of these fields, it has become more difficult to facilitate these programs. This project is needed in order to meet the growing need for diamond field space and tournament opportunities. Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 24-25 PRIORITY 4– Recreation Center Description: The Recreation Center project would be approximately 44,000 square feet and include an indoor area large enough to accommodate a minimum of two basketball courts. This court area would also be designed for utilization by indoor soccer, baseball, softball, wrestling, volleyball, tennis and badminton with the installation of in-floor sleeves and drop curtains or partitions. This area could also be used for special events such as dances, proms, music festivals, garden and home, outdoor, craft, antique, quilt, or boat shows, thus providing a flexible facility for a multitude of activities to take place at one time. The facility would also house a fitness center, multi-purpose rooms, office, storage, and locker rooms. Capital Cost: $11,251,221 Justification: Since its inception, the Parks and Recreation Department has relied significantly on the use of the county public schools to house recreation programs. This arrangement adequately addressed Recreation Center needs for a time, however the department currently offers over 250 sections of programs, creating a situation where the department is limited in its ability to meet the programming and facility needs of the county residents. A Recreation Center facility will facilitate the department to meet citizen programming demands and provide the area with a facility to attract new businesses to the community. This facility would be available to all area residents. Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 24-25 111 20 PRIORITY 5 - Playground Replacement Description: This project schedules replacement for playgrounds at County Parks. Capital Cost: $875,830 Justification: County Park playgrounds are popular amenities at county owned parks. The playgrounds will need to be replaced to meet user expectations. Construction Schedule: This project is anticipated to be ongoing, a four year schedule is proposed. Year 1: CB 2nd playground, SH 2nd playground. Year 2: SH 3rd playground. Year 3: SH Main playground. PRIORITY 6 - Water Slide / Spray Ground / Building Renovation Description: Upgrade the outdoor swimming pools at both Clearbrook and Sherando Parks. Upgrade would involve the removal of the diving boards and the installation of one 50' water slide and one 75' water slide at each pool. The upgrade would also include the addition of a spray ground with 10-12 features at each pool. Capital Cost: $1,157,356 Justification: To provide recreational opportunities for the Clearbrook Park and Sherando Park service area. Frederick County Parks and Recreation Department operates two outdoor swimming pools at the regional parks. These facilities are over 20 years old and were constructed with two diving boards as the main feature for each pool. Swimming pool attendance has trended decline in recent years and users are requesting different water features. The addition of two water slides and a spray ground to each pool facility will appeal to families and increase interest in visiting the outdoor pool facilities. Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 25-26 PRIORITY 6–Clearbrook Park Description: This project implements the development vision for the NE area of Clearbrook Park. This vision is consistent with the Clearbrook Park Master Plan. Included are basketball, pickleball courts, and an access trail from the existing pool parking lot. Capital Cost: $454,440 Justification: This facility would provide recreation opportunities for the entire Frederick County area. It would provide amenities not readily available in northeastern Frederick County and provide a public pickleball complex for county residents. Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 25-26 112 21 PRIORITY 7 – Gym Addition Jordan Springs Elementary Description: This project brings the Jordan Springs Elementary School into the Cooperative Use framework for shared school and community uses. Expanding the gymnasium from elementary size to full size (comparable to Orchard View, Greenwood Mill, Evendale, and Gainesboro Elementary School Gyms), and adding community multi-purpose room space to the proposed school site. Capital Cost: $1,657,124 Justification: The model in place since Orchard View Elementary was built in 2000 added gymnasium and multi-purpose space to subsequent elementary schools, as these schools are located where population growth is present. Growth in community programming, camps, and indoor sport leagues continues to create demand for more gymnasium and multi-purpose space. Adding pressure for this location is that there are no community center spaces in the Stonewall District, while population continues to increase. Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 26-27 PRIORITY 9 – Sherando Park Area 1 Recreation Access Phase 2 Description: This project continues the development vision for the NW area of Sherando Park located north of Rt. 277 as shown in the 2016 North Sherando Park Master Plan update. Continuing the newly installed Line Drive from Warrior Drive to Landgrant Lane, parking, restroom building, and dog park are elements of this phase. Capital Cost: $1,594,872 Justification: This facility would provide recreational opportunities for the entire Frederick County area. This project is intended to meet the needs of the community as identified in the 2022 Frederick County Parks and Recreation Community Survey.
