MoCo Planning Board wants Significant Density Increases

The Montgomery County, MD Planning Department has been working on an enormous overhaul of the zoning codes in our County. Planning Department staff are promoting tremendous density increases. Citizens involved in this 'process' are becoming alarmed at the direction it is taking. Please read the article below by Meredith Wellington, who is a former member of the Planning Board. The tremendous increase in density that the Planning Board is pushing will of course put added stress on our school system.

Former Planning Board member Meredith Wellington has written the article below, out of concern for the direction of the new zoning ordinance.  She suggests if you are concerned please contact the county council, and the Planning Board.  To contact the Council, go here.  The chair of the Planning Board is Francoise Carrier.  To contact Ms. Carrier, go here.
