Revised Rockville Pike Plan - The last public hearing on the proposed Rockville Pike Plan will be held on December 8th; therefore, this November WECA Board meeting provides the last opportunity for WECA to develop a position on the proposed plan. At the meeting, representatives from City Staff will present an overview of the current plan. After a period for answering questions, the WECA Board will deliberate on WECA’s position, and whether a resolution should be adopted and presented at the public hearing on December 8th. Copies of the Pike Plan are available on the City's website.
Mayor and Council proposal to
revise the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) – At their meeting of
November 3rd, the Mayor and Council approved a schedule to review
and adopt revisions to the APFO. The nature of these revisions was not
clear from that meeting, and the topic was slated to be discussed again at the
Mayor and Council meeting on Nov 17th. The Mayor and Council
have already agreed to hold a public hearing on January 5th.
