concepts behind the plan. It provides insight to the
design concepts, and the process from which the
community plan evolved. It also sets guidelines for
the development of the project to ensure a well

two miles is also provided for the future county trail from
northern to southern end of the site.

An extensive public trail system is proposed to connect

sides of the street within each PRD hamlet will connect
to natural and solid surface trails linking built and natural
areas of the site. A proposed off-site trail will connect
Arrington to the County Greenway trail and provide

Open Space & Amenities

An orchard of fruit trees is proposed between the exiting retail


to the east and the proposed residential hamlet. This will act
as a buffer, as well as a site amenity contributing to the overall
agricultural and residential program for the site. The orchard
will be maintained by the residents and owners association to
produce fresh fruit throughout the growing season. Fruit will
be available to the residents and may also end up at the local
farmers markets.

AGRICULTURE:

Each of the four PRD hamlets within Arrington will include a community park which will feature amenities
such as a covered structure, plantings beds, passive
recreation, benches and gardens.
The following page provides a description of each of
these open spaces. In addition to theses main community greens, Arrington will also feature smaller scale
pocket parks. These are more intimate areas reserved
for relaxing while not being in the main green or focal
point of each hamlet. They are to be quieter and may
provide closer proximity to located off of the greens.
They will contain some seating and are a prime area
for walking pets.

The Arrington ridge and its views framing the southern entrance to Warrenton will remain in agricultural use as it is today.
Various agricultural uses along the ridge and other areas of
the site will preserve the countys farming tradition and scenic
identity. The RA zoned non-common open space lot also holds
picturesque views west to the mountains and could also provide the perfect setting for farm or other agricultural tourism.

The architectural character of the units that are

the appearance and character of the development
because they are highly visible and serve as key

Porches, porch stairs, porticos, balconies, bay windows,

this setback area, but not extend into the public right of

The Zoning Administrator may approve deviations from

that is traditional in character.

All garages will be sized to accommodate no more than

garages will be set back a minimum of fourteen (14) feet
from the front edge of the primary building mass as stipulated by Zoning Ordinance Section 4-107.C.3. Garages
located on corner lots must be side-loaded. Side loaded
garage setbacks apply only to the front door entry side
