County Officials Ban Flood Plain Developments
Frederick County Commissioners approve an amendment to zoning and subdivision laws prohibiting most development in flood plains up to 15 percent of land area. Restrictions cover natural water retention areas along the Potomac Monocacy and Catoctin watersheds with limited exceptions for road crossings public utilities and farm ponds. Existing lots may still permit building, and plans align with the 1970 General Development Plan and Natural Physical Characteristics Report.
