Decision on Catlett, Calverton, Midland Service District Comprehensive Plan delayed again at BOS Hearing on 10 March 2011 - the Citizen Committee developed changes recommended by the Planning Commission in April of 2009 are delayed again. Will the supervisors allow the developer proposal for Catlett Farm LLC to influence the outcome.  The Supervisor's action on these changes has been continued from earlier hearings. Check our Catlett, Calverton, and Midland pages to see the recommended comprehensive plan changes.  Information on the Catlett Farm LLC proposal is available from the Catlett Page.
White Marsh development in Bealeton Approved 9 September 2010 - the submission of a revised proffer by the developer seemed to be a major contributing factor leading to approval of this application.  While the reported final proffer statement provided to CFFC showed a significant improvement, it still fell short of matching the County proffer guidelines. See our summary on the White Marsh page.
Commercial Neighborhood Ordinance Approved on 9 September 2010 -  Check our C-1 Commercial Ordinance page.
Update to Marshall Service District Plan goes to Planning Commission - On 29 April 2010 the Planning Commission had their first Public Hearing on the update to the Marshall Comprehensive Plan.  Action on this plan update has been delayed for 60 to 90 days while the Planning Commission reviews the document.  Check our Marshall page for CFFC comments.  We encourage you to review the plan update and provide your comments to the Planning Commissioners.
