Mission Statement
The mission of the Land Use Committee is to consider and recommend solutions to issues and concerns relating to land use and construction in the Town of Chevy Chase that may be identified by the Town Council, Town residents, or the Committee itself, to advise the Council on the use of existing Town authority to control development and redevelopment, and to identify laws, policies, and practices related to development that the Town may wish to use.
Recommendations are made in view of the Town’s Strategic Plan and the public health, safety and general welfare of Town residents.
The Committee will, among other things: (1) advise the Council on land use issues as they arise, 2) monitor enactment of new state and county regulations pertaining to land use that impact the Town, 3) monitor effectiveness of existing Town land use ordinances and regulations and suggest modifications, 4) provide information to Town residents and developers about the Town’s land use goals, regulations, policies, and practices.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns for the Town Land Use Committee, please call or e-mail them to the Town Office.
