Coquelin Run Citizens Association -- Together We Can Make a Difference

The Coquelin Run Citizens Association (CRCA) works to make sure our residents stay informed of all the issues affecting our community and to provide a collective voice. Together as a community, we address the issues that directly impact our quality of life, such as schools, traffic, safety, nearby development and zoning, and the local environment.

February 10, 2013. Chevy Chase Sector Plan Goes to County Council

The Planning Board has completed its Sector Plan review process for Chevy Chase Lake, and has transmitted its final Sector Plan to the County Council for approval.

The Planning Board has proposed a significant increase over the amount of development that the planning staff proposed in its draft sector plan. The major increase comes in the pre-Purple Line phase of development. The planning staff recommended that pre-Purple Line development be capped at 250,000 square feet of mixed residential and retail development at the shopping center site (where the grocery store and TW Perry's are located), but the Sector Plan adopted by the Planning Board would permit up to 750,000 additional square feet of mixed residential and retail development at this site (which could mean as many as 700 apartments at this site, without the Purple Line). The County Council will be holding a public hearing on March 5 at 7pm.
