White Flint Forward

Plan the future

We are revising the White Flint portion of the 1992 North Bethesda/Garrett Park Master Plan to refine the vision, review the land uses and enhance the character of White Flint with a focus on Rockville Pike. Background

Process Update

Since the January 29 Advisory Group meeting the staff has been working on:

  • The feasibility of the expanded road network proposals by the Glatting/Jackson consultants, including a potential minor change to the Plan boundary
  • The affordability of the public infrastructure – transportation, public amenities, etc. - required to support the planned land uses fiscal impact of the proposed plan scenarios,
  • Public/private participation opportunities and incentives
  • Incentives for design excellence
  • Prioritization of policy goals and objectives

This process has become more complex than originally anticipated, and we now anticipate completion of the evaluation in the near future. In addition, because the staff is now evaluating all recommendations far more deeply than in the recent past, additional time is being taken to complete the Plan. 
Stay tuned!
