Frederick annexation bid opposed by county commissioners
The Frederick County Commissioners voted unanimously to oppose the City of Frederick’s request to annex Rosenstock property near the airport and Monotacy River for industrial use. Planning director James R. Shaw argued the plan conflicts with county and city comprehensive plans, notes one third of the tract in a floodplain and potential school and traffic impacts. The proposal would rezone from R-1 to industrial after initial residential zoning. Gas House Pike would need upgrade to arterial status to handle expected traffic. Attorney for property owner J O’Neill Jenkins attended the meeting.
