Montgomery Planning Board approves plan to allow multi-family home zoning changes

The Montgomery Planning Board unanimously passed an Attainable Housing Plan that would allow residential land in Montgomery County zoned for single-family homes to be used for duplex, triplex or fourplexes. The plan heads to the County Council later this month. “I want to be clear on something. This proposed zoning change is not a mandate for people to turn their properties in to duplexes or townhomes or small apartment buildings,” said Planning Board Chair Artie Harris.
