Planners reject expansion of Frederick Historic District
The City Planning Commission rejected a bid by Sidney Bloom and the Frederick Preservation Advisers to widen the Historic District. They argued the proposal lacked concrete justification while residents feared increased control over property use. The commission will revisit the issue after further hearings and an executive session by the Historic District Commission.

Judge OKs BP Oil Gas Station at Patrick and Bentz
Circuit Court Judge Samuel Barrick reversed the Frederick City Zoning Board of Appeals ruling denying BP Oil Inc. a conditional use permit for a gas station at West Patrick and North Bentz Streets. The decision cited lack of reasoning for denial and noted the site’s history and a planning recommendation supporting approval with traffic safeguards.
