State seeks reversal of truck stop zoning decision
Maryland Department of Planning has intervened in Frederick County Circuit Court to overturn a 6 125 acre rezoning at the southeast corner of Routes 14 and 75. Assistant Attorney General Judith A Armold argues the county commissioners acted capriciously and illegally in changing the land from general commercial to highway service to permit Cardon Investments to build a truck stop. The department contends the neighborhood change was unsubstantiated and that key elements cited were anticipated in local plans.
