This seminar will give attendees the opportunity to hear about proposed changes to the Montgomery County zoning code prior to public hearings in the fall. For the past four years, Montgomery County's Zoning Advisory Panel has been updating Montgomery County's zoning code. An updated zoning code is important for achieving the kind of growth Montgomery County policymakers and residents want. The current code is criticized for being antiquated, hard to use, and inconsistent. The zoning code has not been comprehensively rewritten since 1977 and the current document is over 1,100 pages long.
The number of zones has nearly tripled from 41 (in 1977) to the current 120 and the code specifies over 400 land uses. Additionally, with only about 4% of land in Montgomery County available for development, the new zoning code can play a crucial role in guiding redevelopment to areas like underused surface parking lots and incorporating a commitment to sustainability.
This is your chance to learn how the new code may affect your property investment, development and use.
