City delays vote on Rosenstock farm rezoning near airport
For the third month, Frederick officials again postpone a developer request to rezone 264 acres near Frederick Municipal Airport into a 766 unit housing project. Airport officials and business voices warn the plan risks noise and safety, while opponents argue a near airport zone invites further rezonings. The Planning Commission recommended denial, but delays continue as attorney Rand Weinberg seeks more information and a September postponement.
