Young proposes airport overlay zoning district in county modeled after city code

In an effort to stave off development that could interfere with operations at Frederick Municipal Airport, Frederick County Council President Brad Young is drafting legislation modeled after the city’s airport overlay zoning district. During a joint meeting of the council and the city’s Board of Aldermen on Wednesday, Young said the idea to create a Frederick County version of the airport overlay came out of discussions with the city’s Airport Commission, of which he and Alderwoman Katie Nash are members.
