The North Stonestreet Avenue Comprehensive Master Plan Amendment will come before the Mayor and Council at their Monday, Jan. 14 meeting, following a recommendation from December’s work session of Rockville’s Planning Commission.
At the work session, planning commissioners discussed public testimony on the plan amendment, which covers the area where Montgomery County Public School facilities, the historic Lincoln High School and Crusader Baptist Church are located. The proposed plan amendment addresses one of five key opportunity areas identified in the 2018 Stonestreet Corridor Study.
The amendment promotes mixed-use development with moderate density potential, and directs the more intense redevelopment toward North Stonestreet Avenue, away from existing single-family residences. The most compatible, purely residential uses are directed closest to the existing neighborhoods.
At the Jan. 14 Mayor and Council meeting, city staff will request a future public hearing date, tentatively scheduled for February, to allow the community an opportunity to testify on the plan amendment.
