PLANNING COMMISSION FINDS SELF-STORAGE ZTA QUESTIONABLE
Self Storage facilities have been a hot button issue in recent months, as neighbors of a potential such facility fought plans to build one near Maryvale Elementary School. The attorney representing that EZ Storage project, Bob Dalrymple, warned commissioners that his client would pursue other avenues if they approved of the ZTA.
The sense that the ZTA was targeting the EZ Storage project ultimately led to its dismissal by the commission. A majority of commissioners found that the ZTA was too narrowly targeted, was arbitrary, and did not provide an adequate public process to sort the matter out.

ROCKVILLE, GAITHERSBURG, MOCO TO DISCUSS BUS RAPID TRANSIT AT MEETING WEDNESDAY NIGHT
A photo op event at the Montgomery County Fair last summer backfired when the bus on display turned out to look like any ordinary, articulated Metrobus in service today in the DC area - not the futuristic, railcar-like vehicle BRT boosters promised. And there's no getting around the fact that the current plan to take lanes from cars on Rockville Pike will reduce automobile capacity on that already-congested road by 33%.
Wednesday night's meeting will be held at 7:00 PM in the Mayor and Council chambers, and also will be broadcast live on Rockville Channel 11.
