Attachment: White Flint 2 Sector Plan Working Draft White Flint 2 Sector Plan Staff/Working Draft Abstract This Plan contains the text and supporting maps for a comprehensive amendment to the approved and adopted 1992 North 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 Maryland-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 between 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 public 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 possibilities. Their sketches are for illustrative purposes only, intended to convey a sense of desirable future character rather than detailed recommendations for a particular design.

  • Master Sector Plans from Tech Report
    August 2013 Purple Line – Social Effects and Land Use Planning Technical Report 3.2 Affected Environment 3.2.1 Land Use, Zoning, and Planned Development The Purple Line study area comprises a variety of urban and suburban land uses, including residential, commercial, recreational, institutional, and industrial (see Figure 18). Land use in the Montgomery County portion of the corridor is largely residential, with commercial development in Bethesda and Silver Spring. In the Prince George’s County portion of the corridor, land uses include relatively large areas of recreational, institutional, and commercial uses scattered among primarily residential communities. Housing types and densities within the study area include single-family dwellings and both low-rise and high-rise apartment buildings. Clusters of higher density mixed-use development characterize the five major activity centers of Bethesda, Silver Spring, Takoma/Langley Park, College Park, and New Carrollton. With the exception of the area surrounding the University of Maryland (UMD) campus and M Square, most of the remainder of developed land in the study area contains low to medium-density residential and commercial uses. Current zoning concentrates urban growth around activity centers to support transit oriented development (TOD). Specialized TOD zoning districts where mixed-use development is permitted are located in downtown Bethesda and in the areas around the following proposed Purple Line stations, East Campus, College Park, Annapolis Road/Glenridge, and New Carrollton (see Figure 19). The mixed-use and commercial development zoning at other proposed Purple Line station locations also would be compatible with transit stations. Zoning is directed by land use planning efforts, including the Master Plans and Sector Plans discussed in the following section.

  • National Transportation Safety Board the Accident the Investigation
    National Transportation Safety Board Railroad Accident Brief Derailment of WMATA Metrorail Train in Interlocking Falls Church, Virginia The Accident On July 29, 2016, about 6:14 a.m. eastern daylight time, outbound (westbound) Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Metrorail train 602 derailed while traversing a crossover in the East Falls Church interlocking, operating on the Silver Line in Falls Church, Virginia. About 63 passengers were on board the six-car passenger train, all of whom were evacuated out of the lead car, assisted by the Metro Transit Police Department. Three passengers reported injuries, including one who was hospitalized. The Investigation Crosstie Standards Metrorail Train 602 derailed while traversing a crossover moving from track K1 to track K2. Two National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators noted the track gage measurement near the point of derailment (POD) was nearly 2 inches wider than acceptable by WMATA standards.1 For tracks of similar construction to the accident area, WMATA requires that track gage in excess of 57-1/4 inches be removed from service—track gage near the POD measured 59 inches.2 Investigators also identified many defective crossties in the area of the derailment. WMATA track standards require there be no more than 120 inches between nondefective rail fasteners for tracks of similar construction; however, in this accident area, investigators noted over 400 inches of track with no effective rail fasteners because of deteriorated crossties.3 WMATA has standards that address defective crossties; however, it was not apparent that the track structure in the accident area was consistently maintained to those standards.
