Tuesday Feb 23rd at the Council: WF Sector Plan Worksession and CR Zone Vote

According to the latest Council agenda, the full Council plans to hold a work session at 9:30am this Tuesday morning to discuss the White Flint Sector Plan. That same morning the Planning Housing, and Economic Development (PHED) committee will have their work session on Financing with another PHED work session the next day February 24th, on Staging.  Read the staff report here.


And, that same afternoon of Tuesday, February 23rd, at 2pm, the Council will hold a closed session to discuss the legality of the proposed Commercial/Residential (CR) Zone. And...the vote on said CR Zone will take place just a few minutes later, at 2:30pm.  Read the staff report on the CR Zone here.

Be there folks to watch your county council discuss these issues which will impact your quality of life in the coming decades. The Montgomery County Civic Federation has sent a letter to the Council stating they have ‘grave doubts’ about the CR Zone.

And, according to a memo signed by former Planning Board members Pat Baptiste and Meredith Wellington,

“…the Legislative Attorney told the members of the PHED Committee that, as presently drafted, he could not recommend the CR zone to the full Council.”
