§ 1-19-5.100. ADOPTED.

   The zoning districts herein established are designated on the Official County Zoning Map, which together with all explanatory matter hereon, is adopted by reference and declared to be part of this chapter.
(Ord. 77-1-78, § 40-57(A), 1-24-1977; Ord. 08-26-502, 10-14-2008; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

§ 1-19-5.110. LOCATION.

   The Official County Zoning Map shall be located in the Department of Planning and Development Review.
(Ord. 77-1-78, § 40-57(A), 1-24-1977; Ord. 08-26-502, 10-14-2008; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

§ 1-19-5.120. INTERPRETATION.

   The location of zoning districts as determined from the Official Zoning Map is subject to the following rules of interpretation.
   (A)   A district name or designation shown on the official map means that the regulations pertaining to that district extend throughout the whole area bounded by the district boundary lines.
   (B)   Where the precise location of a district boundary line is determined by a designated number of feet as shown on the Official Zoning Map, that distance will control.
   (C)   Where the precise location of a boundary line is shown as within or along a street or alley, the boundary line is the center line of such street or alley.
   (D)   Where a boundary line is shown and its location is not fixed by any of the above rules, its precise location is determined by scaling from fixtures shown on the map.
   (E)   Where physical features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official map, or in other circumstances not covered above, the Board of Appeals shall interpret the district boundaries after receipt of recommendation from the Planning Commission.
(Ord. 77-1-78, § 40-57(B), 1-24-1977; Ord. 79-18-144, 8-7-1978; Ord. 08-26-502, 10-14-2008; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

§ 1-19-5.200. GENERALLY.

   The zoning districts in this division are hereby established for the county.
(Ord. 77-1-78, § 40-50, 1-24-1977; Ord. 08-26-502, 10-14-2008; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

§ 1-19-5.210. RESOURCE CONSERVATION ZONING DISTRICT (RC).

   The purpose of the Resource Conservation Zoning District is to allow low intensity uses and activities which are compatible with the goal of resource conservation to be located within mountain and rural wooded areas. Areas within this district include mountain areas, rural woodlands, and cultural, scenic, and recreation resource areas. Environmentally sensitive areas within the resource conservation zone, including FEMA floodplain, steep slopes, wetlands and the habitats of threatened and endangered species, will be protected from development.
(Ord. 77-1-78, § 40-51, 1-24-1977; Ord. 95-02-126, 3-2-1995; Ord. 08-26-502, 10-14-2008; Ord. 09-21-525, 6-4-2009; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

§ 1-19-5.220. AGRICULTURAL ZONING DISTRICT (A).

   The purpose of the Agricultural District (A) is to preserve productive agricultural land and the character and quality of the rural environment and to prevent urbanization where roads and other public facilities are scaled to meet only rural needs.
(Ord. 77-1-78, § 40-52, 1-24-1977; Ord. 08-26-502, 10-14-2008; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

§ 1-19-5.230. RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.

   (A)   (1)   The purpose of the residential density districts is to promote healthful and convenient distribution of population with sufficient densities to maintain a high standard of physical design and community service. Residential density districts will conform to the County Comprehensive Plan and will be located within areas identified for residential development. The districts, as a group, are intended to provide for a variety of dwelling types and densities and to offer housing choices at various economic levels. It is further the intent to establish various densities of residential developments in order to efficiently and effectively provide for necessary public services and facilities. The following residential density districts and maximum densities are hereby established.

      (2)   An exception to the maximum density is allowed under the MPDU program in accordance with 1-19-8.620.
   (B)   The location of the districts will be consistent with the standards, criteria, and location as specified in the County Comprehensive Development Plan.
(Ord. 77-1-78, § 40-53, 1-24-1977; Ord. 02-26-322, 11-21-2002; Ord. 08-26-502, 10-14-2008; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

§ 1-19-5.240. COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.

   (A)   The purpose of commercial districts is to provide sufficient and convenient locations throughout the county for commercial uses, serving the needs of local areas, the larger community, and regional users.
   (B)   The Village Center District (VC) is intended to reinforce and enhance the historically mixed-use areas within rural communities and designated growth areas. The district provides for the location of a variety of limited commercial uses and a range of housing types while maintaining the compatibility of new development with existing development through design standards. A mix of uses is encouraged in the village center either within a single structure or as separate uses located throughout the district.
   (C)   The General Commercial District (GC) is intended to provide general retail commercial and business services. The general commercial district will be located on roads with a minimum classification of collectors as designated by the County Comprehensive Plan.
   (D)   The Mixed Use District (MX) is intended to provide for a mixture of residential, commercial, and employment uses served by publicly owned community water and sewer within growth areas for the purpose of redevelopment and in-fill where identified by a County Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Mixed Use.
(Ord. 77-1-78, § 40-55, 1-24-1977; Ord. 07-27-467, 6-19-2007; Ord. 08-26-502, 10-14-2008; Ord. 11-25-591, 10-27-2011; Ord. 11-28-594, 11-22-2011; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

§ 1-19-5.250. INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.

   (A)   The purpose of the industrial districts is to provide for the development of varied industrial uses that would supply needed employment opportunities for the county. Industrial development has inherent characteristics that require special attention and protection. Due regard must be given to industrial needs for adequate site locations with concentration on terrain, availability of water and sewer systems, transportation, and compatibility with surrounding development.
   (B)   The Limited Industrial District (LI) is intended to provide adequate area for development of industrial uses whose operations have a relatively minor nuisance value and provides a healthful operating environment secure from the encroachment of residential uses and protected from adverse effects of incompatible industries.
   (C)   The General Industrial District (GI) is intended to provide areas for industries involving manufacturing or processing and for those industrial uses which cannot meet the performance criteria of the Limited Industrial District.
   (D)   The Mineral Mining District (MM) is a floating zone established for the purpose of providing for the development of needed mineral resources in areas where such resources exist subject to adequate safeguard for the conservation of the environment.
   (E)   The Office/Research Industrial District (ORI) is intended to provide for the development of office, research and limited manufacturing uses in high visibility locations along major highways. Development in this district shall be characterized by an absence of nuisances in a clean and aesthetically attractive setting. This district shall permit limited manufacturing, fabrication or assembly operations which would, by nature of the product, or magnitude of production, be compatible with research, professional or business offices. Commercial uses shall be limited to those which are primarily oriented towards servicing those businesses located within the Office/Research Industrial District.
(Ord. 77-1-78, § 40-56, 1-24-1977; Ord. 85-34-366, 8-8-1985; Ord. 08-26-502, 10-14-2008; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

   The Euclidean Institutional Zoning District is established to provide for college or university, public school within the Agricultural Zoning District, private school, private school in conjunction with a place of worship, or residential treatment center in conjunction with a private school within the Agricultural or Resource Conservation Zoning Districts, and a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) within the Agricultural and R1 Zoning Districts, in existence or with final site development plan approval on June 15, 2009. (See also § 1-19-8.480.)
(Ord. 09-21-525, 6-4-2009; Ord. 10-18-533, 5-4-2010; Ord. 10-31-566, 12-21-2010; Ord. 14-23-678, 11-13-2014)

      (1)   A use not specifically listed in § 1-19-5.310 Use Table is presumed to be prohibited, except when:
         (a)   Permitted in any zoning district by state statute; or
         (b)   The Zoning Administrator upon request provides a written determination that a proposed use is permitted due to its similarity to a particular use permitted within the zoning district.
   (F)   A proposed public building or facility owned by, or located on property owned by, the county will be submitted to the Frederick County Planning Commission (FCPC) for nonbinding review and comment. The FCPC will hold a public meeting on the proposed public building or facility, after nonbinding review and comment by the Community Development Division in accordance with §§ 1-19-3.300.1(D)(1) and 1-19-3.300.3 of this chapter.
