Dear Neighbors,
Julie Davis and I will be participating in the Forum on the proposed new zoning code with Planning Board Chair, Francoise Carrier and Pam Dunn, Project Manager of the Zoning Rewrite.
The Forum is Wednesday, June 5th from 7 to 9 at the Silver Spring Civic Building.
Please plan to attend! The zoning code affects you and your property, and you need to be at the Forum to find out what’s going on!!
Here’s the announcement from the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board and PREZCO (President’s Council of Silver Spring Civic Associations):
Zoning Code Rewrite Forum - Wednesday, June 5, 7-9 pm, Silver Spring Civic Building
Do you know that Montgomery County's Planning Department has spent three years rewriting <http://montgomeryplanning.org/development/zoning/> the county's zoning code <http://montgomeryplanning.org/development/zoning/> (go to this hyperlink to see the documents), aiming to streamline the planning and approval process for redevelopment in the county? The current zoning ordinance is over 1,200 pages in length, and while the rewrite is aimed at consolidating the code, it also proposes a number of key changes. These changes have the potential to create significant alterations to our County and need to be carefully evaluated by the public. The Planning Board approved the final draft and it now awaits its first public hearing before the County Council on Tuesday, June 11.
In advance of the Council's first hearing, please join the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board and the President's Council of Silver Spring Civic Associations (PREZCO) for a forum on June 5th at 7pm to discuss the zoning code rewrite from civic and government perspectives. The forum will be held at the Silver Spring Civic Building. Featured guests will include:
When: June 5, 7pm
Where: Silver Spring Civic Building
A County Council public hearing is scheduled for June 11 at 7:30pm. For information about speaking at a Council hearing and other ways to contact the Council, click here. On June 14 at 9am-12pm, the Planning, Housing and Economic Development (PHED) Committee of the County Council will begin a review of the draft Zoning Code and Zoning Map.
