Please do not rezone the Brookville Rd business District to permit developers to infiltrate the BBD to build apartments and drive out the MANY useful local enterprises that are there. They are each valued businesses that serve us "locals" and many others in myriad ways. Many are minority or women-owned -- the County should SUPPORT, not allow greedy developers to DESTROY, a rare business community like this!

Industrial Parks like this one are the life blood of our many neighbors & business owners. Their successes benefit our economy far more than incentivized developers.

If we don't preserve industrial areas down County, the concept of the walkable, public transportation oriented community will be undermined. Services from caterers, recording studios to home maintence will move further and further away. Do we really want to wait for days in bitter cold snow storm for a furnace repair because those businesses are al located upCounty near the Frederick border?

I am a local business owner and think the new zoning plan would negatively effect small family owned business in the Brookville rd area

We agree. A Montgomery County address inside the Beltway is key to our business function.

There is no more need for a residential component on the semi-industrial Brookville road. Time would be terr spent focusing on the other side of the neighborhood where the Barrington apartments are schedule to have the project based section 8 expire in 2018. There is already density over there with Summit Hills. If Barrington were totally re-done to have real mixed income housing and retail, you could get a little more density and solve some of the current problems there.

This is not a place to put residential properties. It is an area that is VERY important to Silver Spring. We NEED these kinds of businesses! We do NOT need to provide housing for the rest of the world in Silver Spring. It is already too crowded. Soon it will be ppaved over and have only high buildings!

Employers in the BBD provide critical services to downcounty residents and other businesses. This is MoCo's last industrial park inside the beltway.
