Planners Favor Trail Avenue Rezoning in Frederick
Frederick city planners recommended rezoning the east side of Trail Avenue blocks 500 and 600 from residential B-4 to B-0. Dr. J Poirier and Dr. Willis Riddick sought B-0 on 516 and 518 Trail Avenue to build a two story professional office. The plan would not spot zone but apply to a wider area and would require conformity with neighborhood setback and off street parking. The mayor and board will review the Manning Commission's recommendation at the January 2 meeting.
