Chevy Chase Lake Sector Plan Update
Friday, February 3, 2012
Work on the Chevy Chase Lake Sector Plan is continuing. Background on the lead-up to the plan and links to other documents is available by clicking the below link:
The following is a report on recent activities:
Over the last three months, representatives of the Village, together with other affected municipalities and the communities surrounding the commercial properties at Chevy Chase Lake, have been meeting with the Chevy Chase Land Company to explore whether there are areas of agreement relating to the redevelopment of the area.
While it is too early to tell if a consensus can be reached, there are some areas of general agreement— mainly centered on the public use space and the general arrangement of buildings on the site. Height and density continue to be unresolved issues.
The Village's main concern centers on the issue of additional traffic that the development is certain to generate. Both Connecticut Avenue and Brookville Road will see increased traffic with added development, especially at the levels currently being discussed. The Land Company is conducting a traffic analysis which it will present to the communities this month. At the same time the planning staff at Park and Planning is conducting its own traffic studies. The traffic analysis will look at traffic on Connecticut Avenue as far south as Bradley Lane.
As the schedule now stands, the Park and Planning staff proposal for the rezoning of Chevy Chase Lake Sector will be presented to the Planning Board in late February or early March. A public hearing will be held by the Planning Board sometime in April with a final plan sent to the County Council in the summer. Additional information may be posted on the Planning Board site. http://www.montgomeryplanning.org/community/chevychaselake/.
Representatives of the Village will continue to meet with the Chevy Chase Land Company, to work with our neighboring communities, and to weigh in where Village interests are affected. If you are interested in working with the Village representatives, or would like more information as it becomes available please contact the Village office. Also, we hope to have an information meeting for interested Village residents within the next month.
