  • 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 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.

Replies have been received from the following countries: Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA.

UNECE Standard for Apples – List of Varieties At the last meeting the 51 st session of the Specialized Section GE.1 the delegation of the United Kingdom offered to coordinate efforts to simplify the list of apple varieties. The aim was to see what the result would be if we only include the most important varieties that are produced and traded. The list is designed to help distinguish apple varieties by colour groups, size and russeting it is not exhaustive, non-listed varieties can still be marketed. The idea should not be to list every variety grown in every country. The UK asked for views on what were considered to be the most important top thirty varieties. Eight countries sent their views, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, USA, Slovakia, Germany Finland and the Czech Republic.
