Along with a design consultant, planning staff will be working in partnership with residents over the next several months to identify issues, determine goals and establish design guidance for new single-family homes and expansions to existing homes within the East Rockville neighborhood.
The intent of the project is to promote creative and quality design that will encourage compatibility between new and existing homes within the neighborhood.
The project builds on recommendations from the 2004 East Rockville Neighborhood Plan to develop a guide for new construction that enhances both the physical and environmental aspects of the neighborhood.
Current residents with no plans to rebuild or expand their residences will not be affected by the changes.
