Approved PUDs Push Frederick County Population Higher
A county population projection by Planner Lawrence Johnson shows Frederick County at 91,600 now with approvals for 27,455 PUD units. At 3.2 persons per home this adds 87,856 people, bringing total to 179,456, surpassing Johnson’s 1990 projection. Over 1500 lots approved this year could add about 4,900 more residents. preliminary approvals reached zero this day. Johnson outlined growth factors and cautioned against assuming all PUDs will be built, noting past examples like Montecito and the absence of current growth quotas. He urged moderation to keep within approx ten percent of future projections.
