Zoning Moratorium on County Applications Considered by COG
Frederick County Council of Governments holding a four hour session approved a six month moratorium on all county zoning applications while weighing a plan to seek nursing home funds and reviewing shifts in state and federal law enforcement funding. A six month halt would curb new classifications, with emphasis on orderly planning procedures and potential annual consideration. County Commissioner Donald Lewis urged towns to pursue full recreation land grants, and attorney Richard E. Zimmerman explained the Adamstown sewer change withdrawal due to metropolitan policies not yet defined. He suggested re-advertising the matter for April and possible return to COG in May, while community voices urged a timely vote to avoid repeat appearances.
