The Mayor and Council are giving the community more time to review and comment on a zoning amendment that would allow breweries and distilleries to operate in Rockville.
The public comment period is open, and the Mayor and Council will hold an Oct. 16 public hearing on the amendment. This meeting follows a Sept. 11 public hearing at which the Mayor and Council directed staff to extend the comment period. The amendment, if approved, would allow full production of alcoholic beverages in light and heavy industrial zones, and in the mixed-use employment zone. Limited production, such as micro-breweries and micro-distilleries, could also take place in mixed-use business, mixed-use transit district, mixed-use corridor district and mixed-use employment district zones.
