County board urges denial of rezonings
Frederick County Planning Commission recommended denying two rezoning requests. One sought 169.3 acres near Adamstown from agricultural and R-1 to R-3 for about 20 to 25 homes per year on a public water system amid local concerns over school capacity traffic and future water needs. The second aimed to locate a service station in Walkersville. The hearings occurred during the county’s second rezoning cycle with staff noting no substantial neighborhood change to justify change.
