[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Driving to Metro this morning.  There is also a 200 unit housing development proposed for the corner of Twinbrook Pkwy and Ardennes.  Not completely sure, but that must also feed into JW and RM.[/quote]

That's not City of Rockville, it's Montgomery County.

Since it's garden apartments, it would be expected to generate 17 middle-schoolers and 22 high-schoolers.

[b]Why does it matter that it is MoCo? [/b] It still feeds into RM.  Just pointing out the additional development going on in that cluster..

Plus, another project is slated for the corner of Rockville Pike and Edmonston.  Right by the bridge that goes over the train tracks.

So, three new housing developments in the cluster.  Plus, the already finished apartments/condos.  Quite a few more students.  [/quote]

Because the issue is the [i]City of Rockville[/i] potentially raising the moratorium threshold.

Also, HOW many more students?[/quote]

How is the county building in the RM zone without raising its level?[/quote]

The county isn't. The county building moratorium is 120%. If projected enrollment for 5 years from now (2023-2024 for fiscal year 2019) exceeds capacity by 20%, the county planning department stops accepting development applications.

(And, more fundamentally - the [i]county[/i] isn't building. Builders are building, as allowed by the county.)[/quote]

The county should lower its moritorium level to 110%[/quote]
