Twinbrook Neighborhood Plan

 

       

Many City residents consider the “Twinbrook” neighborhood to be located both north and south of Veirs Mill Road. The City’s Master Plan considers the area north of Veirs Mill Road to be Planning Area 7, Twinbrook Forest-Northeast Rockville. Planning Area 8, Twinbrook, is south of Veirs Mill Road.  The current Twinbrook Neighborhood Plan initiative will consider both areas at the same time, with a view to providing the City and Twinbrook residents a set of goals and recommendations that will guide the future of the neighborhoods for the next 20 years.

A Neighborhood Plan Advisory Group worked with City staff to identify and evaluate neighborhood issues and provided guidance and feedback throughout the planning process. Upon completion and endorsement of a draft plan, the Planning Commission held a public hearing.  The Planning Commission held three public hearings and received verbal and written testimony.  An extensive public outreach program was undertaken and visualizations were prepared that depict rezoning concepts for the existing commercial and industrial areas.  On June 11, 2008 the Planning Commission approved a resolution to approve the modified Plan and forward to the Mayor and Council with a favorable recommendation.  The Mayor and Council will hold a public hearing in the fall.
