[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not related to the transit corridor plan discussed on the other thread, so it seems that it deserves its own.

"County leaders are now proposing big changes to a third of the land area in Montgomery County. Roughly 33% of the county is zoned as 'residential'. The proposed plans would allow for a duplex, triplex or even a fourplex to be built in areas zoned as 'residential' that right now only allow a single-family structure.”

It is entirely inappropriate for the current MOCO county planning director to post opinion articles for a 501(c)(4) nonprofit that conducts political advocacy related to zoning and land use! He is employed by MOCO (not GGW) to make important zoning and development decisions about the county. This is very unprofessional, and it raises legitimate questions about the credibility of his recommendations and whether he is acting with the interests of county residents in mind.[/quote]

There needs to be a full investigation about potential conflicts of interest in the MOCO planning department before any vote is made. [/quote]

I hope that a suit gets filed if only to see the interesting information about the current and former planning board and the current MOCO council members.  Should be a fun discovery process.[/quote]
