The Council held a public hearing on the SMA for the Glenmont Sector Plan on January 28, 2014; no testimony was received, nor were any issues noted. Since there was no testimony, the Planning, Housing, and Economic Development (PHED) Committee did not meet to discuss the SMA. Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution. Councilmembers should remember that consideration of an SMA is subject to the ex parte rule and, therefore, the Council may only consider information that is part of the public record. Staff recommends against allowing any member of the audience, other than Staff, to participate in the worksession discussion, since their comments would not be a part of the official record.

4 MONTGOMERY COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT THE MARYLAND-NATIONAL CAPITAL PARK AND PLANNING COMMISSION MCPB Item No. Glenmont Sector Plan Sectional Map Amendment G 959 Date: Michael Brown, Planner Coordinator, Area 2 Planning Division, michael.brown@montgomeryplanning.org, Khalid Afzal, Planner Supervisor, Regulatory Team, Area 2 Planning Division, khalid.afzal@montgomeryplanning.org, Glenn Kreger, Chief, Area 2 Planning Division, glenn.kreger@montgomeryplanning.org, Staff Recommendation Completed: Support Council approval of Sectional Map Amendment G-959 to implement the recommendations of the Approved and Adopted Glenmont Sector Plan. Summary The Proposed Sectional Map Amendment follows the approval and adoption of the Glenmont Sector Plan and will implement, through the Sectional Map Amendment process, the Plan's zoning recommendations for creating a transit-oriented, mixed-use center. The proposed SMA was filed on December 20, 2013, and the District Council Public Hearing is scheduled for January 28, Background On November 5,2013, the District Council approved the Glenmont Sector Plan, by Resolution On December 18,2013, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission adopted the approved plan, by Resolution On December 20, 2013, the Montgomery County Planning Board filed Sectional Map Amendment G-959 with the County Council, sitting as the District Council, to implement the zoning changes recommended by the Approved and Adopted Glenmont Sector Plan. The Glenmont Sector Plan area encompasses approximately 711 acres around the Glenmont Metro Station. This SMA proposes reclassification for about 68.5 acres and confirmation of existing zones for the remainder. The reclassified area includes 65.9 acres for the CR mixed-use zones and 2.51 acres for the CRN mixed-use zones. There are no pending zoning cases within the boundaries of the Sector Plan. Contents of the Sectional Map Amendment The SMA book includes an index map indicating the boundaries of the Glenmont Sector Plan. Each SMA book, which includes six zoning maps at 200-foot scale, also delineates the existing and requested zoning boundaries. The affected pages of the zoning maps are: 216NW02, 216NW03, 217NW02, and 217NW03.

5 Recommended Rezoning The Glenmont Sector Plan proposes the creation of a transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly community by integrating mixed land uses into the area surrounding the Metro Station. The CR zone proposed for the Glenmont Shopping Center will permit a mixed-use town center with urban amenities such as a central open space, restaurants, and professional offices to achieve a dense urban node. The CR zones proposed for Glenmont Metrocenter and Metro Station/Layhill Triangle Block will permit residential development at densities higher than currently allowed with some retail and commercial uses in appropriate locations. The CRN zone proposed for the WMATA Triangle will permit the Department of Housing and Community Affairs to pursue the development of senior affordable housing in close proximity to the Metro entrance. The recommended CRN zone on the WMATA Triangle parcel will split it into two zoning classifications: the new CRN-1.5 C-O.25 R-1.5 H-65 and the existing RT The boundaries of the proposed CRN zone on this property were created to include approximately 2.31 acres of land currently under contract-topurchase by the County. The boundaries of the contract land are described as the following: Beginning at an x:y coordinate recognized as North 447, and East 747, in the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA Project Datum), on the second (2 nd ) or North 01 degree 44 minutes 30 sec:onds West, foot deed line of said Liber 4139 at Folio 711, said point being feet northerly from a concrete monument found marking the southerly end thereof, said point also lying on the easterly line of Flack Street, 60' wide, as shown on a plat of subdivision entitled "Plat No.2, Glenmont Hills" recorded as Plat No among the aforesaid Land Records; thence running with a portion of said second (2 nd ) deed line and with the common line of Lots 8, 12 and 13, Block A Glenmont Hills, recorded in said Plat No. 2376: North 01 degree 48 minutes 30 seconds West, feet to a point; thence leaving said common line and running so as to cross and include a portion of said subject property North 45 degrees 39 minutes 44 seconds East, feet to a point lying on the southwesterly line of Georgia Avenue, Maryland Route 97, as shown on State Road commission Plats through 54562; thence running with a portion of said southwesterly line of Georgia Avenue, the following five (5) courses and distances South 44 degrees 20 minutes 16 seconds East, feet to a point; thence South 45 degrees 22 minutes 46 seconds East, feet to a Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority disk found; thence South 44 degrees 37 minutes 13 seconds West, feet to a rebar with cap found; thence South 00 degrees 33 minutes 23 seconds West, feet to a rebar with cap found; thence South 45 degrees 22 minutes 46 seconds East, feet to a point; thence leaving said southwesterly line of Georgia Avenue, and running so as to cross and include a portion of said subject property, the following four (4) courses and distances South 44 degrees 30 minutes 43 seconds West, feet to a point; thence North 45 degrees 22 minutes 21 seconds West, feet to a point; thence feet along the arc of a tangent curve to the left, having a radius of feet and a chord bearing and distance of North 80 degrees 10 minutes 56 seconds West, feet to a point; thence 2

6 South 68 degrees 13 minutes 55 seconds West, feet to the point of beginning 100,692 square feet or acres of land. The recommended CR and CRN zones can be applied only when recommended by a master or sector plan; the Glenmont Sector Plan includes the necessary recommendations. Each CR and CRN zone includes four components: an overall maximum floor area ratio (FAR); a maximum commercial FAR (C); a maximum residential FAR (R); and a maximum building height (H). All four components are shown on the proposed zoning sheets for each zone proposed. The following table lists the SMA's proposed reclassifications. The index map accompanying this memorandum shows the location of each area.
