Dear Residents,
The Town’s goal is to make sure every resident is aware that the Attainable Housing Strategy Initiative is under Montgomery County Council’s review. There is no current legislation on the table. However, we do expect that the full County Council will introduce a potential Zoning Text Amendment as early as late October. So now is the time should you wish to engage.
As CCV Council Chair, Ed Tarbutton, and the Town’s Attorney, Ron Bolt, agreed at the September 2024 Council meeting:
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO MUNICIPALITIES IN OVER 20 YEARS.
Actions You Can Take
REVIEW: The Planning Board’s AHS Final Report that is under review.
VIEW: Planning Board Slideshow presented at the Town Council Meeting. Slide 9: shows how much of CCV is covered under the Priority Housing District. The PHD reduces parking standards and allows for additional types of units. You may also view the zoning map.
WATCH: Planning Board Presentation and Discussion – hear what the Town is doing and stay tuned for more updates.
ATTEND A LISTENING SESSION – Montgomery County Council considers these listening sessions as a significant part of the community outreach and review process.
