  • Dc Homeowners' Property Taxes Remain Lowest in The
    An Affiliate of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities 820 First Street NE, Suite 460 Washington, DC 20002 (202) 408-1080 Fax (202) 408-8173 www.dcfpi.org February 27, 2009 DC HOMEOWNERS’ PROPERTY TAXES REMAIN LOWEST IN THE REGION By Katie Kerstetter This week, District homeowners will receive their assessments for 2010 and their property tax bills for 2009. The new assessments are expected to decline modestly, after increasing significantly over the past several years. The new assessments won’t impact homeowners’ tax bills until next year, because this year’s bills are based on last year’s assessments. Yet even though 2009’s tax bills are based on a period when average assessments were rising, this analysis shows that property tax bills have decreased or risen only moderately for many homeowners in recent years. DC homeowners continue to enjoy the lowest average property tax bills in the region, largely due to property tax relief policies implemented in recent years. These policies include a Homestead Deduction1 increase from $30,000 to $67,500; a 10 percent cap on annual increases in taxable assessments; and an 11-cent property tax rate cut. The District also adopted a “calculated rate” provision that decreases the tax rate if property tax collections reach a certain target. As a result of these measures, most DC homeowners have seen their tax bills fall — or increase only modestly — over the past four years. In 2008, DC homeowners paid lower property taxes on average than homeowners in surrounding counties. Among homes with an average sales price of $500,000, DC homeowners paid an average tax of $2,725, compared to $3,504 in Montgomery County, $4,752 in PG County, and over $4,400 in Arlington and Fairfax counties.

In July, Trader Joe’s, the novel neighbor- hood grocery, opened its fifth D.C. store at 2101 Wisconsin Avenue, just a few blocks down the street from the long-shuttered Whole Foods. “Everyone has been very nice to us,” said Tom Senior, the store’s manager. “We have also reconnected with some folks that shopped at other locations and they are very excited for us to be here.” He said that although the new Trader Joe’s has been open only a month and a half, it’s become clear that wine and cheese are favorites of local shoppers. So are pet treats. “It’s great to have Trader Joe’s here, and undoubtedly been a factor in the recent bump “We have seen quite a few animal lovers from what I’ve seen, it’s attracting customers,” in storefront vacancies.

  • Forest Glen/Montgomery Hills Sector Plan
    2019 Forest Glen/Montgomery Hills Sector Plan WORKING DRAFT 1 Abstract The Forest Glen/Montgomery Hills Sector Plan contains the text and supporting maps for a comprehensive amendment to portions of the approved and adopted 1989 Master Plan for the Communities of Kensington- Wheaton, as amended; 1996 Forest Glen Sector Plan, as amended; and 2000 North and West Silver Spring Master, 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 2013 Countywide Transit Corridors Functional Master Plan; the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways, as amended; and the 2018 Bicycle Master Plan. The Forest Glen/Montgomery Hills Sector Plan area extends along the Georgia Avenue corridor from the edge of downtown Silver Spring at Spring Street to Dennis Avenue just south of downtown Wheaton. This plan focuses on strategic redevelopment opportunities, improved connectivity and enhanced safety for all users. Recommendations are provided for land use, zoning, transportation, parks, trails and open space, the environment and historic resources. 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. Plans provide comprehensive recommendations 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 fulfilling a plan’s vision. Master and sector plans look ahead 20 years from the date of adoption, although they are intended to be revised every 10 to 15 years.

  • Aspen Hill Minor Master Plan Amendment 1 Approved and Adopted │ May 2015 Map 1: Minor Amendment Area
    ABSTRACT An area master plan, after approval by the District Council and adoption by The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, constitutes an amendment to The General Plan (On Wedges and Corridors) for Montgomery County. Each area master plan reflects a vision of future development that responds to the unique character of the local community within the context of a County-wide perspective. Area master plans are intended to convey land use policy for defined geographic areas and should be interpreted together with relevant County-wide functional master plans. This Minor Master Plan Amendment contains text and supporting maps for a minor amendment to the 1994 Aspen Hill Master Plan. This Plan makes recommendations for land use, zoning, design, transportation, environment, and community facilities. The minor amendment process provides an opportunity to reassess the Subject area and analyze alternative land use redevelopment, design, and zoning opportunities. The review considers existing development and reevaluates the area’s potential within the context of a changing market in the region, the intent and rationale of the 1994 Aspen Hill Master Plan, community input, and impacts to the surrounding land uses and transportation network. Master and sector plans convey land use policy for defined geographic areas and should be interpreted together with relevant County-wide 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 fulfilling a plan’s vision.

  • Georgia Avenue (MD97) Montgomery Hills from Forest Glen Road
    MONTGOMERY COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT THE MARYLAND-NATIONAL CAPITAL PARK AND PLANNING COMMISSION MCPB Item No. 7 Date: 03-24-16 Alternatives Review: Georgia Avenue (MD97) Montgomery Hills from Forest Glen Rd (MD192) to Sixteenth St (MD390) Larry Cole, Master Planner, [email protected], 301-495-4528 LC Pamela Dunn, Chief, [email protected], 301-650-5649 Completed: 03/17/16 Description The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is studying a reconstruction of Georgia Avenue (MD97) to establish a more balanced approach to transportation within the corridor by evaluating existing vehicular, pedestrian, and bicyclist mobility and safety, while accommodating proposed rapid transit enhancements and establishing a sense of place within the Montgomery Hills community. Summary We recommend that the Board approve this project with the following comments to SHA and request that response to these comments be provided with the Mandatory Referral submittal: We recognize that these recommendations would increase the cost of this project, however there are few locations that could compete with the documented problems here: • Georgia Avenue (MD97) is the highest volume non-Interstate roadway with the highest volume interchange in Maryland • The three major intersections within the project limits of just over a half-mile are rated as some of the most congested in Montgomery County, per the 2014 Mobility Assessment Report: o Georgia Avenue (MD97)/Sixteenth Street (MD390) - #7 o Georgia Avenue (MD97)/Forest Glen Road (MD192) - #32 o Georgia Avenue (MD97)/Seminary Road/Columbia Boulevard - #34 1 The expanded project would encompass two projects on the County’s priority list for State projects (see Attachment 6) , #12: MD97 (Georgia Avenue) and Forest Glen Road: pedestrian underpass and safety improvement, and #16: MD97 (Georgia Avenue), I-495 to MD390 (16 th Street) in the Construction program.
