Ten Mile Creek Area
Limited Amendment – Approved and Adopted – July 2014
In response to a request by the County Council, the Planning Department prepared a Limited Amendment to the Clarksburg Master Plan and Hyattstown Special Study Area, focusing on the Ten Mile Creek Area.
The area includes properties in the Stage 4 analysis area defined in the 1994 Master Plan.
The amendment includes a comprehensive analysis of environmentally sensitive areas and modeling of the Ten Mile Creek watershed to determine ways to balance development potential and the community objectives specified in the 1994 plan with the need to protect water quality.
Ten Mile Creek feeds into the Little Seneca Lake reservoir, which flows to the Potomac River and contributes to the regional water supply.
The plan has been approved by the County Council. View the Approved and Adopted document.
