East Rockville Design Guidelines: The Next Step

November 10, 2020 

Good Afternoon, East Rockville Neighbors - 

Thank you to everyone who provided testimony to the Mayor and Council during the public hearing process.  The Mayor and Council public hearing was held on October 19, and since then, I have been preparing the staff report and organizing the testimony for the Mayor and Council to review and discuss at their work session on Monday, November 16.  

The staff report and testimony will be posted this coming Friday afternoon at the City's agenda center and can be reviewed at https://www.rockvillemd.gov/agendacenter.

If you would like to view the work session, the virtual meeting can be viewed on Rockville 11, channel 11 on county cable, livestreamed at www.rockvillemd.gov/rockville11, and will be available a day after each meeting at www.rockvillemd.gov/videoondemand.

After discussion, the Mayor and Council may vote to adopt the design guidelines on Nov. 16, or they may choose to hold another meeting for final review.  It will largely depend on the extent of any changes they may choose to make on Monday.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Take care,

Andrea
