So, what does the Rockville Planning Department do?[/quote]

Rockville, Gaithersburg, Takoma Park, and Poolesville all have planning authority because they were incorporated before M-NCPPC was given planning authority over Montgomery County and Prince George's County. The City of Silver Spring would be incorporated afterwards.

https://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2005/g28/7-105.html

"(b)      Except as provided by agreement under this section, neither the Commission nor the Montgomery County Planning Board nor the district council may exercise any planning or zoning power or jurisdiction within any municipal corporation that existed as of June 1, 1957, as provided under subsection (a) of this section. A municipality that incorporates after June 1, 1957 may not exercise planning, zoning, or subdivision power unless expressly provided for in this article."

Poolesville also has authority over its water and sewer.
