County Council to Hold Hearing on Bethesda Downtown Plan Amendment

The Montgomery County Council will hold a public hearing on the Bethesda Downtown Minor Master Plan Amendment on Feb. 26 at 7 p.m.

The hearing will take place at the Bethesda Regional Services Center at 4805 Edgemoor Lane.

The plan updates the 2017 Bethesda Downtown Plan with recommendations for new parks, transportation infrastructure, a new recreation center and affordable housing. The amendment does not change existing zoning, parks or transportation policies.

Residents can testify in person or via Zoom by signing up on the Council’s website or calling 240-777-7803 by Feb. 25 at 5 p.m.

A minor master plan amendment revisits a portion of an adopted master plan to address unanticipated changes. This update follows the same process as master and sector plans, including community outreach, Planning Board review and county council approval.

More details are available in the staff report and on the Planning Board resource page.
