Farmland stakes clash with new zoning in Frederick County
Frederick County’s 1977 zoning ordinance aimed to protect farmland by limiting growth in agricultural zones and concentrating development near existing communities. Yet farmers sell to developers for higher prices, prompts to rezone to conserve land and allow five acre lots, and plans to loosen agricultural lot restrictions. Some officials propose market-friendly tweaks, while the Farm Bureau backs a state program paying “development rights” to keep land farmable, though costly.
