A. Purpose. These regulations define administrative procedures for the submission and review of all plans submitted to the Montgomery County Planning Department, under the Subdivision Regulations and the Zoning Ordinance of the Montgomery County Code. These procedures are designed to provide accurate and complete information and to ensure a thorough and timely review process as a basis for decisions. These regulations were adopted by the Planning Board and approved as regulations by the County Council under Chapter 50, Section 10.1 and as contemplated by Chapter 59, Section 7.3.4.F.3. These regulations supersede the Montgomery County Planning Department’s Manual of Development Review Procedures (December 2007).
1. These regulations:
(a) define a process that is comprehensive, clear, transparent, and understandable to citizens, developers, applicants, review agencies, staff, and other interested parties;
(b) clarify standards and procedures for submission of timely and relevant information by applicants;
(c) provide procedures for timely participation by government agencies in the review of applications; and
(d) provide procedures for participation by interested parties, such as owners of properties adjoining the project site, so that their issues and concerns can be submitted to staff and the Board for consideration during the review process before the Board decides and acts on the proposed land development project.
2. These regulations are intended to identify the steps that an applicant must take to apply for the review and approval of specific types of development approvals that are acted upon by either the Board or Director, and to provide a comprehensive explanation of what is involved in processing a development application, including the steps to ensure a thorough and timely review.
B. Applicability. The development review process covered in these regulations apply to all development applications submitted to the Montgomery County Planning Department and acted upon by the Board or Director under Chapter 50 and Chapter 59 of the County Code.
C. Definitions. All terms used in these regulations that are defined in Chapter 50 or Chapter 59 have the same meanings as the definitions in those Chapters.
D. Rules of interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Chapter 50 and Chapter 59 apply to these regulations. Footnotes used in these regulations are a part of the requirements.
