Look beyond recent development and you will discover buildings from the County’s early history as well as from the agrarian, industrial and more recent past. These buildings demonstrate how each generation leaves its mark on the built environment. Montgomery County has recognized the importance of preserving this legacy for the benefit of current and future County residents, and has created a system for the identification, designation, and preservation of important individual landmarks and historic districts. We recognize the importance of such things as the archeological sites and mill ruins found along the County’s stream valleys; the farms, banks, and meetings houses associated with the County’s Quaker heritage; the lock houses, aqueducts, mines, and quarries bordering the Potomac River and the C&O Canal; the farmhouses The County preservation program: and agricultural buildings from the County’s rural past; • Provides accurate and thorough research on the the communities founded by African Americans; the history of the County and its historic resources; early suburbs developed along the route of the B&O • Supports good stewardship of recognized historic Railroad; small-scale commercial blocks from the early buildings and sites by providing tax credits to defray automobile era; as well as the postwar housing that shaped the costs of rehabilitation; • Offers the expertise of professional staff that can Montgomery County’s suburban development, and more. work with property owners on rehabilitation plans; Taken as a whole, these landmarks, neighborhoods, and and communities create a rich and diverse historic landscape • Administers a local grant fund for nonprofit that helps to define Montgomery County. organizations to support a variety of educational projects to help the residents of Montgomery County The County works hard to preserve those aspects of better understand our shared history. its heritage deemed important to future generations. To this end, Montgomery County has established a comprehensive program to identify, protect and interpret this three-century-old legacy. Montgomery County’s historic preservation program was established in 1979 through adoption of Chapter 24A of the Montgomery County Code. The ordinance created a nine-member, volunteer Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to oversee the preservation program. The County Executive appoints the members of the HPC to three-year terms. The HPC is responsible for recommending sites and districts for designation and protection under Chapter 24A, and for reviewing projects related to designated sites and districts to ensure they are consistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance. Montgomery County is a Certified Local Government, recognition that the county’s historic preservation program meets federal and state standards. Design Guidelines for Historic Sites and Districts 1 Introduction The thousands of private property owners who preserve and maintain the County’s historic buildings and sites are essential to the success of the countywide preservation program. This document, and the design guidelines included herein, are written primarily to assist these property owners and others charged with preserving the County’s historic fabric. This document provides a brief summary of the County’s history and predominant architectural styles (for further reading, see Places from the Past: The Tradition of Gardez Bien in Montgomery County, Clare Lise Cavicchi (Kelly), 2001) and offers an overview of the County’s preservation program. Design guidelines assist property owners, architects, contractors, local Central to this document are the design guidelines that advisory panels and others in the design and review process. articulate appropriate treatments for designated historic sites and properties within historic districts. These historic preservation design guidelines will be a source The following historic districts have district-specific of information for property owners contemplating guidelines: projects to repair, rehabilitate, or alter historic properties • Capitol View Park in Montgomery County, as well as a tool for architects, • Chevy Chase Village • Clarksburg contractors, local advisory panels and others who assist • Hawkins Lane in the design and review process. The guidelines will also • Hyattstown assist the Montgomery County Historic Preservation • Kensington Commission (HPC) in their consideration of historic • Takoma Park area work permit (HAWP) applications. The information that follows is based on nationally accepted best practices and is intended to be of assistance to all applicants, regardless of the location of their property. However, certain historic districts (see list, sidebar) have specific guidelines and/or review criteria developed expressly for that district. Applicants, design professionals, and LAPs should consult any guidelines specific to their historic district to assist in project development and assessment; the HPC will use these documents in the review of HAWP applications. In any cases where district-specific guidelines and the guidelines included in this document are in conflict, the HPC will base its evaluation on the guidance provided in the district-specific guidelines. The Historic Preservation Commission Rules, Guidelines, and Procedures, §1.5(b) states: “Where guidance in applicable master plan, sector plan, or functional master plan is inconsistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitation, the master plan guidance shall take precedence.” For information about district-specific review criteria, contact the Planning Department Historic Preservation office.

  • Suburbanization Historic Context and Survey Methodology
    INTRODUCTION The geographical area for this project is Maryland’s 42-mile section of the I-95/I- 495 Capital Beltway. The historic context was developed for applicability in the broad area encompassed within the Beltway. The survey of historic resources was applied to a more limited corridor along I-495, where resources abutting the Beltway ranged from neighborhoods of simple Cape Cods to large-scale Colonial Revival neighborhoods. The process of preparing this Suburbanization Context consisted of: • conducting an initial reconnaissance survey to establish the extant resources in the project area; • developing a history of suburbanization, including a study of community design in the suburbs and building patterns within them; • defining and delineating anticipated suburban property types; • developing a framework for evaluating their significance; • proposing a survey methodology tailored to these property types; • and conducting a survey and National Register evaluation of resources within the limited corridor along I-495. The historic context was planned and executed according to the following goals: • to briefly cover the trends which influenced suburbanization throughout the United States and to illustrate examples which highlight the trends; • to present more detail in statewide trends, which focused on Baltimore as the primary area of earliest and typical suburban growth within the state; • and, to focus at a more detailed level on the local suburbanization development trends in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, particularly the Maryland counties of Montgomery and Prince George’s. Although related to transportation routes such as railroad lines, trolley lines, and highways and freeways, the location and layout of Washington’s suburbs were influenced by the special nature of the Capital city and its dependence on a growing bureaucracy and not the typical urban industrial base.

    G Historic and Cultural Resources Appendix G – Historic and Cultural Resources G.1 Inventory of Historic Resources This appendix provides an inventory of historical resources identified and evaluated as part of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Washington, D.C. Optimization of Airspace Procedures in the Metroplex (DC OAPM) project. G.1.1 Inventory The inventory of historic resources includes all properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) located within the General Study Area. Spatial data for these properties was downloaded from the National Park Service website (nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natreg/docs/Download.htm) in August 2012. This database was augmented in February 2013 with additional data reflecting newly listed properties on the National Register. G.1.2 Consultation On December 13, 2012, early notification letters announcing the preparation of an EA for the DC OAPM project and requesting additional information relevant to the project were distributed to relevant public officials, including the State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) for the states located within the General Study Area and 17 Native American tribes. Responses were received from the following agencies: Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, Bureau of Historic Preservation Maryland Historical Trust West Virginia Division of Culture and History Virginia Department of Historic Resources The response letters are included in Appendix A. G.1.3 Noise Exposure at Historic Sites Table G-1 identifies the 2,690 historic resources identified within the General Study Area and for which noise was modeled. The inventory includes the name, address, and geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of each historic resource, and presents the calculated noise exposure values under 2011 existing conditions and Proposed Action and No Action conditions for 2013 and 2018.

  • Planning Commission Memorandum
    PLANNING COMMISSION MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission VIA: J. Mark Willis, Directoji,( Britany J. Waddell, AICP', Deputy Director, Planning and Development Review j FROM: Carolyn V. Sunderland, AICP, Planning Commission Administra Lindsay Halterman, Planner II DATE: June 12,2019 SUBJECT: Draft 2018 Annual Report Background: Title 1-207 of the Land Use Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland requires local planning commissions to "prepare, adopt and file" an annual report with the Maryland Department of Planning. It also requires that the annual report be made available to the legislative body so they may direct any appropriate and necessary studies and other actions be undertaken to ensure the continuation of a viable planning and development process. Discussion: A draft of the 2018 Annual Report is attached for your review. The report documents and evaluates the county's residential and commercial growth and development patterns by specific indicators such as amendments to planning policies and regulations; agricultural preservation efforts; capacity improvements to transportation, schools, and water and sewerage infrastructure; growth restrictions resulting from inadequate public facilities; and the number, type and size of approved site plans, subdivisions and building permits. Digital maps that identify where the growth is occurring within the county are included with the report. A biennial report on the county's Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance is also required with this year's submittal, which has been included in the annual report. In 2013, a state law was adopted that requires local jurisdictions to perform a five-year report on the implementation status of their comprehensive plans. Because the Calvert County Comprehensive Plan (adopted in 2004 and amended in 2010 and 2017) is currently in the process of being updated, the brief summary on the progress made to date, has been provided in this report.
