Description: ***cgm July6 2009 -recreated this layer as a dissolve off the new taz layer (gisadmin.taz2009). -added policy #37 - Rural West -added policy #38 - Rural East -added policy #39 - Life Sciences Center **cgm June 8, 2009 -renumbering 4 policy areas which had mistakenly been changed in a previous edit years ago. -created a new policy area "Rockville Town Center" number 36 -minor tweak to that policy area 36 boundary -performed a 'repair geometry' -created a topology for the purpose of repairing the numerous gaps and overlaps A second editting effort will be undertaken later in 2009 to better synchronize with the new taz layer, currently called TAZ_2009. This will consequently bring the layer better in line with the centerlines file as well. TAZ layer updated through June of 2009. Updates to this layer include topological corrections. Synchronization with the cline layer where applicable. TAZ splits from a CCT study applied by Wayne Koempel and Eric Gray. Inputs from Kirk Eby of Gaithersburg and Manisha Tewari of Rockville. Adjustments for municipal boundaries due to annexation. [TAZ] - this is the primary key as defined by mwcog. [TAZ_KEY] - this is an identifier column that was used in the creation of this update. The number before the hyphen is the old taz number used by mncppc before this round. [POLICY] - this defines the policy area layer by a dissolve of this column. [POLICY_NAME] - This is the coded name as stored in mncppc HANSEN [POLICY_PENDING] - This defines "to be approved" policy area definition Updated May 2011 to include changes to White Flint resolution from April 2010. Boundaries should be reflecting maps found in the following directories: Official policy area maps (2009): http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/content/council/pdf/res/2009/20091110_16-1187.pdf White Flint/North Bethesda change to the official policy area maps (2010): http://www.montgomeryplanning.org/research/growth_policy/growth_policy09/documents/20100427_16-1324.pdfEDIT-August 29, 2014. Per Council resolution {17-1203Amendment to the 2012-2016 Subdivision Staging Policy in association with the White Oak Science Gateway Master Plan (SSP 14-01) 07-29-14}The old policy area known as POLICY=7 NAME='Fairland/White Oak' has been split in two and replaced by:POLICY=40 NAME='White Oak'POLICY=41 NAME='Fairland/Colesville'Edit 11/28/2014Per the adoption of the 2016 - 2020 Subdivision Staging Policy by the County Council on 11/15/2016, the following changes were made to the Transportation Policy Areas.1) A Clarksburg Town Center Policy area (ID 45) has been added and carved out of the Clarksburg Policy Area2) The Germantown Town Center Policy area boundary was expanded northward and to areas west of I-2703) A Chevy Chase Lake Master Plan Policy Area (ID 44) has been added and the Bethesda/Chevy Chase boundary adjusted.4) A Long Branch Sector Plan Policy Area (ID 42) has been added and the Silver Spring/Takoma Park boundary adjusted.5) A Takoma/Langley Policy Area (ID 43) has been added and the Silver Spring/Takoma Park boundary adjusted.6) A Burtonsville Town Center Policy Area (ID 46) has been added and the Rural East Boundary adjusted.Policy areas are now also categorized into four categories; red. orange, yellow, and green according to their transportation and development characteristics. These categories determine various requirements for transportation test and levels of adequacy.

Description: AEP Easement Application (https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/agservices/resources/files/AEP/aepeaseappl.pdf). During open purchase periods, landowners submitting applications should make an appointment to discuss their applications. They should be prepared by bringing certain documentation to discuss their property. This includes but is not limited to:Surveys, maps or diagrams that help describe the proposed easement property;Status of TDRs for proposed easement propertyCopies of Deeds, Tax Bill or any other document describing the landowner’s legal association with the proposedAll applicants whose applications are determined to be complete will be placed on a completed application list. At the conclusion of the open purchase period, DED will begin to analyze the proposed property to establish its numerical score for the purposes of ranking the property among all completed applications received during the open purchase period. The total number of AEP easements to be purchased by the County from the applications received during the open purchase period is a function of the amount of funds available. The DED/APAB will then determine from the ranking, the order for offers that will be tendered during the purchase period. It is possible that there will be more applications received then there is funding for the open purchased period.
Description: The Rural Legacy Program (RLP) enables the State to purchase conservation easements to preserve large contiguous tracts of agricultural land. The sale of development rights easements are proffered voluntarily by the farmland owner. The project receives funding from the Agricultural Transfer Tax, which is levied when farmland is sold and removed from agricultural status. Montgomery County is a State-certified county under the provisions of State legislation, which enables the County to retain 75 percent of the taxes for local use.Land conservation investments are targeted to protect the most ecologically valuable properties that most directly impact Chesapeake Bay and local waterway health. This year’s allocations include $17,663,385 in FY17 funds. There is at least one Rural Legacy Area in every county of the state and the total acreage designated in all Rural Legacy Areas is 920,694 acres. Enacted by the General Assembly in 1997, Maryland’s Rural Legacy Program has dedicated over $305.6 million to preserve 86,103 acres of valuable farmland, forests, and natural areas.
