MONTGOMERY COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT THE MARYLAND NATIONAL CAPITAL PARK AND PLANNING COMMISSION Westbard Sector Plan Sectional Map Amendment MCPB Item No. Date: -- JM RK John Marcolin, Planner/Coordinator, john.marcolin@montgomeryplanning.org, 0 Robert Kronenberg, Chief, Area, Robert.kronenberg@montgomeryplanning.org, 0 Michael Brown, Supervisor, Area, Michael.brown@montgomeryplanning.org, 0 Completed: // Recommendation Approval to file Sectional Map Amendment (SMA) H- implementing the recommendations of the Approved and Adopted Westbard Sector Plan and implement several corrective amendments. Summary This proposed SMA will implement the Westbard Sector Plan s zoning recommendations. The Plan seeks to update existing parking lots and strip shopping centers with mixed use development while providing the community with the much needed amenities of parks, trails and open spaces. Background On May, 0, the District Council approved the Westbard Sector Plan, by Resolution -. On June, 0, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission adopted the approved plan, by Resolution -0. An SMA implements the zoning recommendations made in a Sector Plan. Section.. of the Montgomery County Zoning Ordinance enables the Planning Board to file an SMA application with the District Council, which in turn must transmit a copy to the Planning Department and the Planning Board for review. The Planning Board must then submit to the District Council a written recommendation on the application, which is included in the public record. The District Council then holds a public hearing to receive testimony. Within 0 days of the public hearing, the District Council renders a decision on the application. The Westbard Sector Plan area encompasses approximately acres and is bounded
by Massachusetts Avenue to the south, Little Falls Parkway to the east, Dorset Avenue to the north and the residential neighborhood of Springfield to the west. Proposed Sectional Map Amendment The Westbard Sector Plan s vision is to improve the quality of life by increasing walkability, providing a mix of retail choices, naturalizing Willett Branch and making it a community amenity, improving connections to mass transit and providing more affordable housing choices. This SMA will reclassify approximately forty-eight acres, and reconfirms approximately acres of existing zoning. Thirty-seven of those acres are a change from a single use to the CRT mixed use zone in order to support the Sector Plan recommendations to encourage reinvestment, promote mixed use development, add much needed public parks and green space and enhance connectivity. The County s 0 Zoning Ordinance specifies that certain zones (contained in Article -), are to be phased out and replaced when master plans that contain these zones are updates. In the Westbard Sector Plan these zones include the PD zones and the RT zones. The Sector Plan recommends zoning changes to replace existing zones which covers approximately acres. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Map include changes as outlined in the summary table below: Summmarized Change Index Change No. Existing Zone Proposed Zone Total Changes (in acres) RT-.

H- 0.0 Total Changed Acres. * Zoning line Adjustment There are no pending local map amendments within the boundaries of the Westbard Sector Plan. Split Zoning In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, zoning lines are generally drawn to property lines. Property lines change over time through the subdivision process. Changes in property boundaries occur more often than the changes to the zoning maps, which can occur only through District Council action. The Planning Department is responsible for maintaining the zoning maps, and generally uses the State Tax Assessor s property maps as the base on which to draw zoning boundaries, unless a property is intentionally split-zoned during a rezoning process. One such case exists with change No. where the zoning line on parcel C between proposed zone CRT-. C-0. R-. H- and proposed zone CRT-. C-0. R-. H-0 occurs along a proposed road. See Attachment B- for the metes and bounds. A Corrective Map Amendment may be required in the future if the location of the proposed road does not follow the metes and bounds as laid out in this Sectional Map Amendment. Corrective Map Amendments A Corrective Map Amendment process allows for correction of inadvertent omissions and mistakes without impacting the original intent of the rezoning actions. Per Section.., the Zoning Ordinance also allows the SMA process to incorporate Corrective Map Amendments or zoning adjustments as part of an SMA application. Some property boundary changes may create situations where zoning boundaries are not coterminous with the property boundaries even if it was not the intent of the original zoning action to split zone these properties. This can occur with the creation of new roads or the realignment of an existing road(s) which results in the relocation of property line boundaries and the increase or decrease in parcel sizes. A correction of the zoning boundaries is appropriate to eliminate any complications in the implementation of the zoning controls without negatively impacting the intended, current and proposed use of the property.
Additional mapping errors may occur in a couple of different ways, including incorrect interpretation of parcel lines during the application of a local map or sectional map amendment. These areas may lie inside the master or sector plan boundaries, or they may be outside of master plan boundaries. Corrective Map Amendment, Change #, (Attachment ) Staff has identified a technical mapping error because of a misinterpretation of parcel lines during the application of G- on Block A, Parcel V. This correction (Change No. ) involves a parcel line between an RT-.0 zone and the CRT zone that was not drawn along the existing parcel line. This application corrects this error. Potential Corrective Map Amendment, Changes The Sector Plan has recommended the re-alignment of Westbard Avenue to tie directly to River Road with a right-angled intersection, instead of teeing into Ridgefield Road. This reconfiguration would create Westbard Avenue extended that would connect directly with River Road. The residential portion of Westbard Avenue between River Road and Ridgefield Road would be renamed to distinguish it from Westbard Avenue extended. This residential section of Westbard Avenue (re-named) would tee into Westbard Avenue extended and Ridgefield Road would be reconfigured to tee into this residential section of Westbard Avenue (re-named). These potential re-alignments would result in the reconfiguring of all the property boundaries that front onto re-aligned Westbard Avenue and Ridgefield Road. The parcels affected by these boundary changes would change the zoning map for these parcels. If this proposed realignment discussed above occurs, the new public R-O-W and abutting properties will have to be re-platted and would necessitate a Corrective Map Amendment (CMA). Upon such action, the CMA should closely follow the zoning changes, as illustrated in figure on the next page. In such a CMA additional area adjacent to Parcel A at the northwest intersection of Westbard Avenue extended and the Ridgefield Road would maintain the CRT-.0 C-0. R-.0 H- zone. The area adjacent to Block D, lot at the southwest intersection of Westbard Avenue extended and the Ridgefield Road would maintain the existing zone. The area adjacent to Parcel A- on the west side of Westbard Avenue extended would maintain the CRT-.0 C-0. R-. H-0 zone. The zoning on Block H, Lot on the east side of Westbard Avenue extended would maintain the CRT-. C-0. R-. H- zone. Conclusion Staff requests the Planning Board file the proposed Sectional map amendment in order to implement the zoning recommendations of the 0 Westbard Sector Plan and implement the corrections describe above.
