Residents,
property owners and business owners in the Twinbrook area can learn about the planning department’s
recommendations for the future of the community at a meeting scheduled for 7:30
p.m. Monday, July 9 at the Twinbrook Recreation Center.
The Twinbrook sector plan looks ahead 20 years in a
comprehensive guide to the area’s land use, zoning and environmental features,
such as stormwater management and green space. It also examines transportation
issues such as roads, mass transit, bicycle trails and pedestrian mobility.
The staff’s draft will be considered by the Montgomery
County Planning Board in work sessions later in July. In the fall, the public
is invited to provide input to the Board at a public hearing. The Board will
hold more fall work sessions before finalizing its version of the plan and
sending it to the County Council for review and eventual approval.
Located in the county’s technology corridor, Twinbrook,
planners say, is ideally suited for a mix of residential, light industrial and
commercial uses. As a result of earlier meetings with the community, planners
are working to incorporate better pedestrian access to the Twinbrook Metro Station,
create more open space and integrate mixed uses, such as residences.

Every area of the county has a master or sector plan. Each plan is intended to look ahead 15 to 20 years. Master and sector plans establish zoning and are used as guides for funding public improvements and for when planners are reviewing applications for development.
