Study Up For The RORZOR With Rockville Living!

As >Rockville Central readers know, the City is in the midst of rewriting its zoning laws. This is a big deal. The decisions made now will affect how the City looks twenty years into the future and more.

A committee has worked hard to develop a set of ordnances, and a number of information sessions have been held. (The last one was January 10.) Now, it’s time for the City to begin to get public input. The first opportunity to speak up about the RORZOR plan will come on January 23 at 7:00 pm at City Hall in the Mayor and Council chambers (that’s upstairs).

It might be a good idea to begin thinking now of what you might want to say. Rockville Central friend Helen Triolo, who runs the excellent resource Rockville Living (a model for local information sources), has developed an interactive map of Rockville that contains all the proposed zoning areas.

She says the map will get new overlays and content as time goes on (Rockville Living is a veritable potpourri of business and event listings which are just ripe for such a mapped approach). But, for now, it’s a zoning map — exactly what we need.

Thank you for this important resource, Helen.

I urge readers to visit the map, and poke around. Look at the way your favorite Rockville spots are zoned, what they are next to, and the like. Bank that up against the draft zoning ordnance. And, on the 23rd, come with comments!
