The following cluster/school service areas are close to triggering [building] moratoria:

No, this isn't MCPS. It's the Montgomery County Planning Department. Since the Montgomery County Planning Board approves development applications in the parts of Montgomery County that are under their jurisdiction, they need to know which areas are close to triggering building moratoriums.

What's more, Rockville is not under the jurisdiction of the Montgomery County Planning Board. Rockville (meaning, the area within the boundaries of the incorporated City of Rockville) has its own planning and development authority.[/quote]

True, Rockville has it’s planning and development regulations. But the City Council voted a few years ago to change its standards so they align with Montgomery County. The ciry’s old rules were stricter regarding building moratoriums and school capacity. I think the moratorium was triggered at 110% enrollment. It was controversial decision. Now we’re seeing the results.[/quote]
