Zoning Text Amendment No. 19-01

The following Resolution was passed at the General Membership Meeting of The Greater Olney Civic Association, Inc., held on Tuesday the 12th day of March 2019

RESOLVED: The Greater Olney Civic Association, Inc., reaffirms its earlier position, taken on the 5th of January 2012 and again opposes the proposed changes to the Montgomery County Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 59 of the Montgomery County Code, known as Zoning Text Amendment No.: 19-01 (ZTA), in that this proposed ZTA effectively and substantially changes the zoning of all single family detached homes after the homes have been completed, all community resources (such as schools, water, sewer, storm water management, fire, police, parking, etc.) have been allocated based upon the original zoning and development plan and the affected homeowners have invested very substantial resources for the purchase of a single family home community in a particular location and neighborhood based upon pre-existing zoning and design plans.
