City of Rockville Planning Commission to Hold Public Hearing on Annexation |
|
Dear Rockville Community, I hope you are doing well. I would like to invite you to a very important meeting. Rockville’s Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a virtual public hearing, Wednesday, Feb. 10, on a proposal to annex almost 10.3 acres of land at 16200 Frederick Road. The Mayor and Council initiated annexation proceedings at their meeting in November. The annexation was initiated through a petition to the city by Victor, Inc., the property’s owner, with a request to zone the area as mixed-use corridor district. Annexation is the formal process of incorporating an area outside of the city’s jurisdiction into its municipal boundaries. To be eligible, the property must be within the city’s maximum expansion limits, as identified in the adopted Municipal Growth Element of the Comprehensive Plan, and adjacent to city limits. The proposal must go through several steps before approval. The public hearing will begin at 7 pm. The Mayor and Council will hold a public hearing before making a final decision. View the Preliminary Annexation Plan here. To testify at the public hearing, which will be held virtually, email jwasilak@rockvillemd.gov before 4 pm. on the day to be placed on the speakers list. Spoken testimony is limited to three minutes for individuals, or five minutes if representing a group. Submitted written testimony to the Planning Commission via planning.commission@rockvillemd.gov, or by mail, c/o Manisha Tewari, 111 Maryland Ave., Rockville, MD 20850. Contact Manisha Tewari at mtewari@rockvillemd.gov or 240-314-8213 for more information. |
