Montgomery County approves Donohoe Development's Bethesda project - Washington Business Journal:
fixyruw.wordpress.com
The project, Woodmont Central, was originallyu scheduled to go before the planning board in afterthe county’s moratoriukm on residential developments started July 1. “The got all approvals they needed inon time,” said Joshusa Sloan, coordinator at the county’s development review division who recommended the planning board approve Donohoe’ site plan with some And though board member Amy Presley referrex to Donohoe’s need to get the approval quickly as “thre elephant in the room,” Sloah said the decision wasn’t rushed.
Sloab said the planners’ response to the preliminary site plan was overdues because the board had requestef an extension beyond theusual 90-dayg review period. The residential moratorium, whicj would affect Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Clarksburg and Seneca Valley, was announced by the board June 8. It came aftetr the board received results of the annual school test, which compares projectesd 2014 enrollment figures againstg classroom capacity in the county’ds public schools. The test showed that the numbe of students enrolled by 2014 was greateer than the 120 percent cap set by the Adequats PublicFacilities Ordinance.
The development limitations, whicuh only allow for subdivisions of three or fewert units or forretirement communities, were established to avoi putting schools over capacity with enrollment from new housinv projects. The residential component of Donohoe’s project is actually part of the seconr and third phasesof development, so its constructionm would likely begin after the ban, if it is lifted next The first phase of the development is a six-story retail and office building. The 18-story, 462,160-square-foort residential and retail componentwould follow.
Sloahn said the residential phase was not likel to deliver for another five to six At the time the moratoriumwas set, Donohoe President Peter Gartland said his projectt would likely make it before the boarc in advance of the adding that the county’s 2009-2011 growtnh policy conflicted with the development ban. “The futurer of the county is inits transit-oriented areas,” Gartland said, echoing the growth policy’s findingx that Montgomery County should focus on infill and mixed-use developments. “We have faith the counthy will solve this problem because urban areas like Bethesda are whers new development should be he said.
The moratorium will likelty last untilnext year’s review unlesxs the identified areas can show a projectedd drop in enrollment or an ability to host more School expansions may be consideredc in the fall and would be fundedx by Montgomery County’s capita l improvements program. The board approved the project witha 3-2 vote but with severalo conditions. The project must achieve a Silved LEED rating and the developer must adjusgheight limitations, building setbacks, public space and retaiol frontage.
Northwest, Northwood, Paint Quince Orchard, Rockville, Wheaton, Waltetr Johnson, Whitman and Richard Montgomery were also identifiefd as areas that will be overcrowdedf by more than 105 percengin 2014. Developers hoping for subdivision approvall in those areas will have to paya fee.

Leaders must take action now to create united regional voice - Business First of Columbus:
cahijisebi.wordpress.com
assembled a strong panel of area leaders from public and private sector and spen t nearly two hours talking about the benefitsd and obstacles to aregional government. The roughlyy 270 people in attendance made it clearr they think something needs to happen sooned ratherthan later. And the overwhelmingh notion was thatwe can’tr afford to just talk about this issue, we must have actio and some very clear next We agree. There must be a concerted effort to startr the actual process of bringing about a regionalp form of government in the Dayton Notnext year, or next month. The ball must startr rolling now. The good news is that we are in a bette position today thanever before.
Joey Dayton City Commissioner and presidenf of the local operationsof , sat on the panelo and said the current system is “broken” and must be Dan Foley, president of the , sat on the panel and going even further by proposing the formation of a new entityu with a strong leader to oversees the effort. Michael Greitzer, chairman of the and partne r withthe ; Jeff city manager of and J.P. Nauseef, former president and CEO of the who now worka with theMathile family, also sat on the panelk and agreed that doing nothing is not an option.
Aftef the forum, the DBJ asked each of the othere members of the Montgomery County Commission if they are in favor of regionakl government and they said the county commission is unitee in wanting to work toward aregionall government. The other Dayton city commissioners, includingg the mayor, were contacte d asked what they thought. Matt Joseph and Nan Whaleyh said they are in favor of some form ofregionap government. Mayor Rhine McLin and Commissioner Dean Lovelace did not responxd bypress time.
But the time has come when this communithy must move forward with a regional government approacj as a way to streamlinegovernment services, reducre costs and improve our economic development This topic is somewhat controversial, and has a lot of push-bacj from politicians fearful of losin their influence. But true leadership is standing up for what is right and bestfor all, and that is what thosw panelists did this week. For that, we commend them all, particularlyg the elected officials — Foley and Williams who are willing to risk their political careers for something they strongly believee is the right thing to do for this region andits residents.
