EXHIBIT A

Title: On-Call/Emergency Call-Back Pay Resolution: 15-2024; 04-2025 Approved: Revised:

Policy #:

300-201 Form(s):

1. Purpose

An emergency call-back is defined as an unscheduled request made by an appropriate management official for an employee designated as “on-call” to return to work to do unforeseen or emergency work after leaving the work location at the end of the employee’s regular shift and before the beginning of the next regularly scheduled shift.

2. Procedures

A. Employees designated as “on-call” for the assigned week (7 days) will be compensated based on the following terms:

1. A premium flat rate of $250 dollars.

2. Substitutions may be made with 48 hours’ notice. It is the On-Call employee’s

responsibility to find a volunteer or substitution, notify the appropriate supervisor, and ensure the schedule is updated. On-Call compensation will be adjusted based on the agreed upon substitution(s).

3. The employee’s timesheet must be documented and approved by the supervisor that

the employee(s) was designated as on-call for the assigned week.

B. During the on-call period, it is the employee’s responsibility to be reachable and accessible, defined as being able to respond within 60 minutes. An on-call employee must be reachable by phone, or similar technology, and report to work within one hour (or less if required by the department) after contact has been made.

C. The employee may not consume any substance that impairs the employee from performing his or her duties in the event he or she is called to work. If, for any reason, an on-call employee becomes unavailable to report to work while on an on-call status, he or she shall notify his or her supervisor.

D. As long as an on-call employee can be contacted and reports to work within an hour (or less if required by the department), there are no other restrictions on what the employee does during his or her nonworking hours. Failure to respond once contacted may result in disciplinary actions leading up to termination.

E. If the on-call employee is called back to work outside the employee’s normal work schedule (emergency call-back), then he or she will be paid for a minimum of two- and a-half hours (2.5) at their overtime rate.

Page|2

EXHIBIT A

F. Emergency Call-Back Hours shall be computed from the time the employee leaves his or her home and returns home when the assignment is completed, not to include personal errands along the way.

G. If the call-back time work assignment and the employee’s regular shift overlap at the beginning of the normal shift, the employee shall be paid the call-back time rate of time and one-half for all hours completed prior to the normal shift. The employee shall then be paid for the balance of his or her regular work shift at the appropriate rate.

H. For emergency call-backs that occur during paid holiday leave, call-back employees will be paid for a minimum of two-and-a-half hours (2.5) at the rate of time and one-half (1.5) in addition to his or her holiday pay at the regular rate.

I. Supervisors will determine what constitutes an emergency and shall document as such on the employee’s timesheet to validate appropriate compensation.

J. Department Heads may authorize Emergency Call-Back Hours for an employee(s) when necessary to prepare for and deliver essential public services outside of the parameters set forth in this policy if it is deemed to be in the best interest of Town Citizens.

K. While every effort will be made to distribute on-call and emergency call-back duty among all qualified employees in the department, the department head retains the right to schedule employees as necessary to meet the needs of the department.

L. For procedures regarding compensation during periods when Town Government is closed due to inclement weather, refer to the Inclement WeatherSection V.(D) of this manual Policy.

• Update to Map 7 Functional Class of Streets and Highways: adjustment Municipal Boundary to

To ensure that proposed land use changes meet this definition, this Plan recommends that all major proposals proceed through a deliberative process during which the benefits that are delivered to the Town are investigated and established. The Town is receptive to allowing flexibility where needed to achieve quality and competent community design, but where individual proposals fail to meaningfully advance

the Town’s development (as defined above), they will not comply with this Plan and should not be approved.

Through 2040, Map 4 and the supporting text of this chapter are to be used to guide the location, type, intensity, and character of development and redevelopment. This means the Planning Commission will evaluate new land development proposals in light of this Plan.

Objectives The main goal of the land use plan is that Centreville develops as a healthy, prosperous, and beautiful town with a continual improvement in the quality of life for its residents and the vitality of its businesses.

The supporting objectives are as follows:

 To create a network of open spaces and resource conservation lands which will secure important environmental functions, form the basis of a town wide recreational asset, and promote community health, vitality, and scenic beauty.

 To guide future neighborhoods into patterns that encourage an intergenerational community, which features a variety of housing types instead of neighborhoods separated by age or income.

 To foster an economically vibrant downtown, preserve its historic elements, promote residential uses in and near downtown and link downtown to other parts of the Town with an efficient system of streets, walkways, community open space, and public utilities.

 To foster continual real estate investment, the redevelopment of vacant or underutilized properties, and the redevelopment or improvement of properties that do not contribute to the Town’s overall wellbeing.

Future Land Use Map Map 4 shows the 2040 future land use plan. Each of the major use categories within the Town’s current boundaries are described below. Map 4 also shows the more generalized land use plan for the Growth Area, which is discussed in more detail in Chapter III, Municipal Growth.

Complete Neighborhoods Areas planned for Complete Neighborhoods identified on the Future Land Use Map (Map 4) which are tracts of 10 acres or more in size with a mix of housing types (single-family detached, duplexes tri-plexes, attached house and apartment buildings and supporting non-residential uses like Institutions parks, open spaces and limited commercial buildings. These areas are both infill tracts and growth areas and will be

developed as master planned communities consistent with Complete Neighborhood objectives in this plan (e.g. pages 22, 35, and 38 etc.) and achieve an overall density of at least 3.5 units per acre.

903, P. 902, and P. 906 4 Discussed during the September 4, 2024, Work Session, this 1901 duplex located on an older Centreville Lot, currently R-2 Zoning, and is proposed to be redesignated to the Central Business District (CBD) Future Land Use and then rezone to CBD zoning.

The owner has requested the subdivision of the lot & building into two separate parcels (units currently have separate addresses, and utilities) and individual ownership. Google Street view image included here, shows the nicely maintained duplex noted to be constructed circa 1901. This duplex serves as a good example of the issues identified in the Town of Centreville Comprehensive Plan: 2040 (page 45)

regarding how duplexes can be “compatible with within all residential neighborhoods and have no adverse impact on neighborhood quality of life.” Identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, there are hinderances for re-development opportunities with regards to minimum lot size and other standards set within the Residential Land Use/R-2 zoning. A text amendment for “stand alone” residential uses within

the CBD as recommended by our Centreville Comprehensive Plan: 2040 (pages 36 & 79) is also planned to be discussed by the Planning Commission. This amendment to the Future Land Use Map and the text amendment (standalone residential) will provide a consistent basis for the parcel to be considered under the CBD Zoning standards, recognizing that the lot and building are something Centreville values and wishes to continue and owner to pursue the ability to subdivide the property.

Alley & Right of Way – immediately East of Duplex The area immediately to the East of the duplex that is shown in the photo and on the proposed Future Land Use Map as access/alley right of way touching P.905, P. 903, P. 902 and P. 906 is also proposed to be amended to CBD Land Use and eventually CBD zoning.

3. Parcel 60 on Tax Map 44F -Providence Farm Annexation – approved by Town Council

September 5, 2024.

Planning Commission Consideration: The Future Land Use Map is being amended to show the Complete Neighborhood Municipal Growth designation over the entire parcel.

Supporting Data and Information 6 The 279 acre parcel recently annexed into the Town of Centreville (September 5, 2024) is identified as a portion of Growth Area 4, identified as Complete Neighborhood on Map 2 Growth Area Plan in the Municipal Growth Element (page 27 as well as in the Annex) and as identified as a Tier II Growth Area (Map 1 B, page 26 and the Annex) in the Town of Centreville Comprehensive Plan: 2040. Tier II

designations are future growth areas planned for sewer service. The following amendment is proposed in order to amend the Future Land Use Map to incorporate the parcel into Town Boundaries and provide a basis for implementation of TND Zoning and development as a Complete Neighborhood.

The following information provides guidance for the Town’s desired intent of general uses and environmental features to be considered as the annexation and zoning proceeds, and as the applicants work with the Town to develop a Complete Neighborhood.

Of the Total approximately 279.6690 Acres approved by Town Council for annexation, Centreville’s Future Land Use Designation of Complete Neighborhood generally includes Natural Areas, Commercial and Civic Areas as well as a mix of variety and residential types and styles that provide intergenerational neighborhoods to meet the needs of area residents though many stages of life.

Natural Areas Natural areas to be protect through appropriate forest conservation designations, stream buffers, and either Resource Conservation Open Space zoning or protected natural areas defined as part of the Natural Area Transect – with compatible recreational trails as applicable.

The following provides more detail about the forest conservation areas and stream buffers currently identified, recorded (on record and binding), accurately shows the detailed limits of existing protectable resources.

7 8 The parcel contains Deed Restricted Open Space recorded when the Rolling Bridge Subdivision was originally created as shown on the 6/3/21 Exhibit above and included in the County GIS system and Maryland Department of Planning’s FINDER online mapping tool https://apps.planning.maryland.gov/finderonline/. On June 26, 2024, the Centreville Planning Commission discussed the Open Space Deed Restriction, including a recommendation as part of their

Annexation and Rezoning Letter of Recommendation to the Centreville Town Council. The Planning Commission favorably recommended that the recorded open space deed restriction be “released” upon site plan/development approval and that the area protected by the existing forest conservation easement remain. That recommendation is included in the Letter of Recommendation (pdf page 31 and 32 of Maps and Additional Support Documents) attached to this document.

9 Commercial and Civic Areas Commercial and civic areas which can be provided for in appropriate locations and defined (size, nature, lot placement, etc.) through the use of the General Urban Zone Transect - T4 or Urban Center Zone Transect -T5, to include the provision for Civic Buildings and Civic Spaces similar to the information in the Denton, MD Pattern Book.

10 The rest of the site will be devoted to a variety of housing styles and types and can be provided for through the refinement of our TND zoning to provide more of a complete neighborhood concept that provides for residential, applicable accessible open space, grid street network, to support the limited amount of neighborhood level retail, office, commercial and civic service uses.

The residential uses can be provided for appropriate locations and defined (size, nature, lot placement, etc.) through areas in the General Urban Zone Transect - T4 (where senior healthcare and living facilities that have been discussed may be most appropriate) which transition to the Suburban Zone Transect (T-3) 11

4. Map 44B; rear portion of P 1056, parcel address: 2641 Centreville Road

Planning Commission Consideration: The Future Land Use Map is being amended to show the Commercial designation over the entirety of parcel 1056. Please note as noted below and mentioned in the Critical Area Commission review comments, a growth allocation will be required should the owner desire to redevelop the parcel to change its Critical Area designation from LDA to IDA.

Supporting Data and Information This amendment is proposed to designate the rear portion of parcel 1056, the property adjacent to the parcel containing the existing mill structure, as Commercial. This area is approximately 3.57 acres, and while it is in Limited Development Area (LDA) Critical area, the site is not in environmentally pristine condition and is also in the Town’s Critical Area modified buffer area (formerly known as Buffer

Exempt.) Amending the Future Land Use to Commercial is consistent with the ‘Commercial’ Future Land Use designation already existing on the South-East portion of the same parcel that connects the entirety of the property to Centreville Road frontage. This change is also consistent with the Future Land Use designation of parcel 1054, immediately to the North and East where the mill structure is located.

Commercial Future Land Use may help support any requests for a growth allocation from LDA to IDA to allow for potential redevelopment opportunities that may further the Town’s desires for improved redeveloped Gateway as identified as part of the general commercial area in the Town of Centreville Comprehensive Plan: 2040 (page 36) “The C-2 district is a general commercial zone. It allows retail, service and office uses and is intended to provide convenient locations for local shopping. The district is

12 located along Centreville Road, the southern gateway from MD Route 18 to the Mill Stream Bridge, …." 13

5. Tax Map 44B, P 1085, 425 S Commerce Street

Planning Commission Consideration: The Future Land Use Map is being amended to show the Commercial designation over the entirety of parcel 1085.

Supporting Data and Information This parcel sometimes referred to as Corsica Creek Commons, contained c.1900 industrial building that was used for various commercial and industrial uses including a tomato packing plant, a feed and supply center, a southern states operation and a plant sleeve factory. This building was previously demolished prior to 2015. Additionally, based on older deed information Town Engineer Mike Whitehill has done,

this property was originally part of the Centreville Mill Property.

The parcel currently has C-2 Zoning and was rezoned from Residential zoning R-3 to Commercial C-2 zoning by Centreville Town Council in 2015 (Ordinance 05-2015), after a site plan approved in 2007 for residential development expired and the associated Public Works Agreement was amended. Please note that some portions of that PWA, specifically related to future trail easement still exist and the Town and

applicant are currently working with SHA to see if the easement location on the southern portion of the property can be retained.

14 Original site plan residential (now expired) prior to Rezoning showing trail easement.

2009 original PWA 2011 amended PWA that includes trail removing EDUS as site easement plan had expired 15 Rezoning of Parcel from R-3 to C-2 – Findings of Fact note the Town Council believes that C-2 zoning is more consistent with the Town’s vision for the Property….

A commercial use…subject to the Town’s design standards…important to protect the visual gateway to the Town at this location This parcel is also Intensely Developed Area Critical Area designation and in the Modified Buffer Area (previously known as Buffer Exempt), which does require mitigation.

16 The following include photos of the factory building prior to its demolition, as well as historical aerials of the area which show its development.

Photos of the now demolished Factory building 1937 17 1957 1997 18 2010 Amending the Future Land Use to Commercial is consistent with the Town of Centreville Comprehensive Plan: 2040, given the historic precedent of intensive use and zoning of this site. It is consistent with the intent of the general commercial area as described on page 36: “The C-2 district is a general commercial zone. It allows retail, service and office uses and is intended to provide convenient

locations for local shopping. The district is located along Centreville Road, the southern gateway from MD Route 18 to the Mill Stream Bridge, …." 19

ORGANIZATION: CENTREVILLE MD DATE: MARCH 10, 2025

RE: PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS TO FUTURE LAND USE MAP

(MAP 4) IN THE CENTREVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: 2040

Proposed Amendments Since the adoption of the Town of Centreville Comprehensive Plan: 2040 on December 14, 2023, staff and the Planning Commission have identified Future Land Use Map Amendments to provide for implementation of the Town of Centreville Comprehensive Plan: 2040. The proposed amendments have been reviewed by Queen Anne’s County Planning and the State of Maryland Department of Planning

state planning review process, those reviews have been reviewed and evaluated by Town Staff and Planning commission as part of the December 18, 2024 Planning Commission/Work Session Meeting and the amendments updated as applicable. The amendments include including the official listing of the Complete Neighborhoods Future Land Use as described elsewhere in the Town of Centreville Comprehensive Plan: 2040; updates to the Future Land Use Map (approved by Planning Commission to

submit for review September 18, 2024), and updates to Municipal Boundaries associated with the Providence Farm Annexation.

Conclusion Based on review and discussion and consideration of public comments, the Planning Commission should consider recommending that the proposed amendments are consistent with the Town of Centreville Comprehensive Plan 2040 and recommend to the Town Council that they be adopted.

1 Amendments Complete Neighborhood Future Land Use Description The Complete Neighborhoods Future Land Use description derived from language already included on other pages in the plan is proposed to be included at the bottom of page 34 (Attachment A) Complete Neighborhoods Areas planned for Complete Neighborhoods identified on the Future Land Use Map (Map 4) which are tracts of 10 acres or more in size with a mix of housing types (single-family detached, duplexes tri-plexes, attached house and apartment

buildings and supporting non-residential uses like Institutions parks, open spaces and limited commercial buildings.

These areas are both infill tracts and growth areas and will be developed as master planned communities consistent with Complete Neighborhood objectives in this plan (e.g., pages 22, 35, and 38 etc.) and achieve an overall density of at least 3.5 units per acre.

Municipal Boundary Adjustments - Maps Municipal Boundaries have been adjusted on the following Maps and Figure included in Attachment A to reflect the incorporation of the Providence Farm Annexation (September 5, 2024): Map 1 A: Future Growth Areas, Infill Areas and Greenbelt, Map 1B: Tier Designations; Map 2: Growth Area Plan; Figure 6: Centreville Greenbelt; Map 3: Existing Land Use; Map 4: Future Land Use Plan; Map 5: Natural

Resources; Map 6: Critical Areas; and Map 7: Functional Class of Streets and Highways.

Existing Land Use Map update During review and discussion of the update to the Existing Land Use Map to reflect newly updated municipal boundaries regarding the Providence Farm annexation, an update was identified and included on this proposed amendment. This is a minor update the existing land use, reflecting existing conditions to update the existing land use from vacant to commercial on the parcel where Taco Bell is located (104

Stella Lane, Centreville MD- access from Laser Drive, south east of Dunkin Donuts).

Future Land Use Map Amendments
