Zoning Ordinance Rewrite & Comprehensive Map Amendment

Dear Property Owner or Resident, 

The City of Rockville is currently in the process of updating its zoning regulations (the regulations that govern private development in the city) and changing the city’s zoning map to implement the recommendations of the Rockville 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the 2025 Town Center Master Plan, and other related plans such as the Climate Action Plan and Bikeway and Pedestrian Master Plans. This is being undertaken through a project called the Zoning Ordinance Rewrite (ZOR) and Comprehensive Map Amendment (CMA). Zoning promotes coordinated development by identifying a property’s permitted uses and regulating the form of development, such as building height, setbacks from property lines, and parking and access requirements.  Updating the city’s zoning regulations and zoning map will support policies to improve quality of life, prepare for new and innovative businesses and construction methods, and address the future demands of the city.   

Your property located at <ADDRESS> in Rockville, Maryland, is located within 500 feet of property(ies) recommended to be rezoned through the city’s ongoing Comprehensive Map Amendment portion of this effort.   

Visit https://tinyurl.com/ms7ecwzb to view an interactive map showing all proposed rezonings.  Additionally, the enclosed “Zoning Districts Quick Reference” document provides information related to Rockville’s existing and proposed zones. 

The city will be hosting a series of virtual meetings for residents and owners of properties recommended for rezoning or located within 500 feet of those proposed for rezoning. If you attended a meeting for this project in Fall 2024, the content and format of these meetings will be very similar. At these meetings, city staff will provide additional details on the proposed rezonings and opportunities for engagement. The meetings will also include time for you to ask questions. We encourage you to attend one of our upcoming Comprehensive Map Amendment workshops to learn more and ask questions:
