City denies B-3 plumbing shops in flood plan zoning
Frederick officials rejected locating plumbing shops in the B-3 commercial zone and moved to appraise three properties for Phase II of the Carroll Creek flood corridor plan. The push to acquire land carries an estimated $900 per appraisal and $200,000 from HUD under a Community Block Grant. Local residents opposed Warner Inc. expansion citing nuisances and loss of residential character. Mayor Young urged awaiting the comprehensive zoning map before changes, while approving appraisals to speed the flood project.
