CALL TO ORDER
The Chairman called the meeting or order.
The Planning Commission first retired into Executive Session
to discuss legal matters.
After returning to regular session, the Planning Commission by
general concensus decided on the following:
- Finalization of expansion of proposed R -3 east of Stephens
City to retain areas for logical expansion.
- To rezone area south of Stephens City from R -2 to A -2 due
to unsuitability for residential development and continued
and projected use of agricultural activity.
- To retain R -1 zoning of existing residential lots immediately
north of Stephens City to protect residents.
- To rezone to A -2 approximately one half of the existing B -2
zone immediately south of the Routes 37 -11 Interchange due
to the fact that the majority of land in use is of an
agricultural nature,
- To rezone to A -2 one of two M -1 zoned parcels owned by the
Winchester - Frederick County Industrial Development Corp.,
due to lack of activity on land, location factors and
suitability of road access.
- To rezone Airport Road area near Rt. 522S from B -1 and R -1
to A -2, with the exception of some existing businesses
along Rt. 522S. Decision was due to existing nature of
uses in area and proximity to fly -over zones adjacent to
the airport. It is not conducive for future residential
development.
