BERRYVILLE AREA PLAN
In
1986, the governing bodies of Clarke County and the Town of Berryville
appointed a joint Annexation Committee to study the matter of the Town's
annexing areas on its periphery and to draft a proposed annexation agreement. In March 1987, the Committee recommended an
annexation agreement for the consideration of the two governing bodies. The
County Board of Supervisors and the Town Council approved the annexation
agreement on December 29, 1988.
The
agreement provided for annexation by the Town of two areas: Area A and Area B.
Area A is comprised of parcels that were developed and served by the Town's
water and sewer systems as of the date of the agreement. The 350 acres in Area A were added to the
Town's 493 acres on January 1, 1989.
The
agreement stipulates that several requirements must be met before parcels in
the 880-acre Area B can be annexed:
- A land use plan for this area must be
completed and adopted by the County and approved by the Town,
- Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and the
Zoning Map to implement that plan
must be enacted by the County, and
3. The Town provides water and sewer service to
proposed development on the parcels.
As
of January 1, 2007, the Town has annexed a total of 1,449 acres
(or 84 %) of Area B since its establishment in
1989.
On April 21, 1992,
the County and Town adopted the Berryville Area Plan, the land use and
facilities policy for Annexation Area B.
Implementing zoning ordinances were also adopted in April 1992, and
properties were rezoned accordingly in July 1993. The Plan was amended in 1997 to show changes in land use
policies. This document may be found
under separate cover in the County and Town Planning Departments. In 2007, the County and Town plan to start a review and
update of this document.
