The Montgomery County Planning Department recently began updating the Bethesda Central Business District (CBD) Sector Plan, which details land use in downtown Bethesda.
On November 4, Mayor Pat Burda and members of the Town's Land Use and Long-Range Planning committees attended a meeting hosted by the County Planning Department to learn more about the update. Over the next year, the Planning Department will review the vision for downtown Bethesda, including issues such as density, urban design and character, mobility (walking, driving, transit, etc.), and environmental quality. The Planning Department also will assess what is good about the current plan and what could be improved.
Audio from the November 4 meeting, the current Bethesda CBD Plan, and ways you can participate in the process are available here.
