Fall Outreach Coming for Zoning Ordinance Update

Members of the community will this month be able to learn more about the ongoing update to the zoning ordinance.

Workshops will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17 (virtually) and Tuesday, Oct. 22 (in person at the Mayor and Council Chambers, City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave.).

Both meetings will cover the same material. A recording of the virtual meeting will be available on the project webpage, www.engagerockville.com/zoningrewrite.

Participants will learn what zoning is, why it matters and how the zoning ordinance rewrite relates to the Rockville 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Mayor and Council priorities. Background on the project will be presented, including its scope, anticipated outcomes and milestones to date.

The comprehensive rewrite of the city’s zoning ordinance — chapter 25 of city code — aims to enhance the code’s usability and accessibility, as well as modernize land-use laws to meet the changing living, working and recreation trends of Rockville’s residents in the 21st century.

The zoning ordinance was last updated in 2009. This project will update the zoning ordinance and implement changes to the city’s zoning map, including rezoning properties as recommended by the 2040 comprehensive plan.

Visit www.engagerockville.com/zoningrewrite for more information about the workshops and to sign up for project updates.
