Friends of Frederick County joins the Smarter Growth Alliance of Frederick County (SGAFC) to request Planning Commission support of Council Bill 16-10, APFO with DRRA.
The proposed bill will restore the longstanding public process of considering an application for rezoning separately from a Developers Rights and Responsibilities Agreement (DRRA) and the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO). The process was changed under the previous administration, making it more difficult for interested citizens and organizations to understand and participate in the review of development projects. We believe public participation should be encouraged at the different stages of the development review process, as it often results in better developments for the county.
