    The document summarizes the key concerns raised about a sector plan and proposed changes to address those concerns. The main concerns included the use of "urban" language, density and school/transportation impacts, zoning classifications, land swaps and parks, and ensuring community character. The proposed changes focus on removing unnecessary "urban" references, providing more analysis of density impacts, clarifying zoning options, explaining benefits of land swaps, emphasizing history and compatibility with neighborhoods, and informing the public on next steps.

    Urban Road Code Area

    Designation of urban roads is intended to improve


    safety in areas with lots of pedestrian activity.

    - defined in Chapter 49 of County Code

    This designation is recommended in response to:


    community concern for pedestrian safety, and
    proximity to and anticipated pedestrian activity
    near Purple Line stations.

    This designation is necessary for roads to be eligible


    for alternative road designs that improve safety,
    such as:
    narrower travel lanes
    smaller curb radii
    lower target speeds (25 mph)
    more bicycle accommodation

    Zoning classifications: CRN vs. CRT


    CRN: These low-density, mixed-use
    zones dont allow enough density
    to offset requirements for public
    benefits. Although public review
    may be required in many cases,
    additional public benefits are not
    required to develop in these zones.
    CRT: Allows two tracks for
    developers.
    -Standard: allows builders to
    develop at lesser densities
    -Optional: offers a range of
    incentives in exchange for full
    density. Optional method
    projects require an extra
    public plan review.

    Zoning classifications: CRN vs. CRT


    Developers who want to build under the optional method of
    development will present a menu of public benefits that will be
    graded under a point system and analyzed for their ability to achieve
    master plan priorities. In return for the public benefits, they will be
    allowed to build to the density and height shown on the zoning map.
    Developers earn points based on a list of amenities, such as:
    -Major public facilities*
    -Transit Proximity
    -Connectivity and Mobility*
    -Diversity of Uses and Activities
    -Quality Building and Site Design
    -Protection and Enhancement of the Natural Environment*
    -Building Reuse
    *Priority Categories in the Greater Lyttonsville Sector Plan

    Parks community concerns


    Concern raised about using the term urban in parks/open space
    recommendations
    Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan is the tool park
    planners use to evaluate park and open space needs for a community
    PROS identifies two new park types that include the term urban
    Countywide Urban Parks
    Community Use Urban Parks

    These park types apply to newly proposed parks in Greater


    Lyttonsville not because the community will become urban, but rather
    a result of enhanced transit service (Purple Line)
    Central Civic Green @ Summit Hills
    Greenway @ Summit Hills
    Neighborhood Green @ Stewart and Kansas (approx.)

    The park classification for Rosemary Hills-Lyttonsville Local Park is not


    recommended to change

    Public benefits of proposed parkland swaps


    Land swaps will:
    Provide more usable parkland on which facilities and amenities
    can be built to better serve the community.
    Provide opportunities to move/place compatible facilities
    adjacent to one another in a way that makes more sense.
    Serve as a buffer between existing residences and new
    development

    Proposed parkland swap HOC/Paddington Square

    Proposed parkland swap Rollingwood Apts.

    Community Character
    Foster community ties
    through a range of
    accessible open space
    types and sizes to
    compliment RH-L Park
    Ensure compatibility
    with surrounding
    communities
    Encourage creative
    placemaking to
    activate streets and
    open spaces

    Community Character through History


    Promote area history
    Erect signage, markers, and commemorative art
    about local history within the Plan area and Purple
    Line stations
    Establish a history and art implementation
    committee
    Establish a Lyttonsville museum/interpretive space
    in the Plan area
    Within Lyttonsville, either at or near the Coffield

    Center

    Conduct a future historic evaluation of the areas


    20th century resources, including Richland Place
    Plan no longer recommends rezoning of any

    Young American Houses

    Plan language
    This is a land use document.
    Recognition that Greater Lyttonsville is a suburban
    community-not an urban community.
    Urban references, when not necessary per the
    County Code, will be edited.
    Change to Residential District Boundary as
    previously discussed.
    Edits will be made to better recognize the
    established neighborhoods within the Sector Plan
    boundary.
