Zoning decision on Mercer farm delayed to study results
The Frederick County Planning Commission delayed a zoning change for Ezra Mercer’s 62 acre farm north of Frederick from agricultural to limited industrial. A traffic impact study and new comprehensive land use plan are needed before a decision, with a July 1 plan target, while Hayward Road safety concerns prompted the pause. Four farms totaling 1,017 acres were approved for the state agricultural preservation district.
