  • White Flint 2 Sector Plan
    Approved and Adopted JANUARY 2018 Abstract This Plan contains the text and supporting maps for a comprehensive amendment to the approved and adopted 1992North Bethesda/Garrett Park Master Plan and the 2010 White Flint Sector Plan, as amended. It also amends The General Plan (On Wedges and Corridors) for the Physical Development of the Mary- land-Washington Regional District in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, as amended, the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways, as amended, and the Countywide Bikeways Functional Master Plan, as amended. This Plan focuses on land use, appropriate density and mobility options for 460 acres located be- tween three areas: the City of Rockville, the 2009 Twinbrook Sector Plan area and the 2010 White Flint Sector Plan area. Recommendations are made for zoning, urban design, public facilities and streets. Master and sector plans convey land use policy for defined geographic areas and should be interpreted together with relevant countywide functional plans and County laws and regulations. Plan recommendations provide comprehensive guidelines for the use of public and private land; and should be referred to by pub- lic officials and private individuals when making land use decisions. Public and private land use decisions that promote plan goals are essential to fulling a plan’s vision. Master and sector plans look ahead 20 years from the date of the adoption, although they are intended to be revised every 10 to 15 years. Moreover, the circumstances when a plan is adopted will change and the specifics of a plan may become less relevant over time. Plans do not specify all development possi- bilities.

    Case 8:20-cv-02239-GJH Document 3-1 Filed 08/04/20 Page 1 of 47 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND (Southern Division) JOHN AND KIMBERLY BEAHN, individually and as parents and next friends of P.B., M.B., AND B.B., MINORS, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, et al. Case No.: _______________ PLAINTIFFS, v. TRAVIS A. GAYLES, et al. DEFENDANTS. PLAINTIFFS’ MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF TEMPORARY, PRELIMINARY, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF On Friday evening, after business hours, and without warning, the Montgomery County Health Officer abruptly announced that all private and religious schools in Montgomery County are “prohibited from physically re-opening for in-person instruction through October 1, 2020.” This blanket order, directed only at religious and private schools, purports to effectively prevent more than 23,000 Montgomery County students from returning to school in the coming weeks. The surprise order was stunning in its abruptness and timing. It was issued on the eve of school reopening, without notice to parents, students, or schools. Families had paid tuition and made firm enrollment decisions. Most schools had spent months researching, planning and installing expensive retrofitting of their schools, following CDC and State guidelines for reopening. Since the pandemic broke in March, neither State nor County government has found it necessary to issue any order directed at religious or private schools prior to this one. And the order was not in response to any COVID-19 outbreak. In fact, there has not been a single 1 Case 8:20-cv-02239-GJH Document 3-1 Filed 08/04/20 Page 2 of 47 reported COVID-19 cases in any Montgomery County religious or private school during the pandemic.

  • News and Notes From
    News and Notes From The PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY JANUARY 1974 Vol. II, No. 1 VOLUME II With this, the January issue of News and Notes, we begin our second year of publication. When the first issue appeared last March we were uncertain as to whether a second one would see the light of day. However an enthusiastic response from our readers brought encouragement for further effort. Although the production of News and Notes has been largely a singular effort, your editor desires to take note of efforts put forth by individual members. Regular contributions by Paul Lanham and Ted Bissell have added greatly to the general scope of this publication. In addition, the general knowledge and contacts of Susanna Cristofane, Orva Heissenbuttel, John Brennan, James Shreve and James Wilfong have provided information on current happenings on the local scene. These and many others have, hopefully, made News and Notes more interesting for our readers. Also, we are indebted to our Corresponding Secretary, Edith Bagot. The added burden of circularizing the membership 12 times per year, instead of the usual eight times, has been cheerfully accepted. We are indeed thankful. In our effort to build a staff to produce News and Notes in the future, we have asked for volunteers. We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Leslie (Betty) Tichnor of District Heights will be contributing to the publication on a regular basis in the future. We hope that others will join us to help improve the quality and scope of our efforts. As always, we solicit the contributions and comments of all of our readers.
