Planning Board approves Battery Lane District Preliminary Plan
In a 3-0 vote, with one abstention, the Montgomery County Planning Board on Thursday, April 23, 2020, voted to approve Brown Development’s Preliminary Plan of Subdivision to redevelop four of the proposed lots along Battery Lane.
Now following the approval of the Preliminary Plan, Brown Development will choose the site of the first phase and begin designing the first building. Community outreach, staff review, and Planning Board consideration will proceed as we endeavor to earn Site Plan approval for each specific building and related site improvements.
Our anticipated timeline remains much the same, with Preliminary Plan approval in 2020, and Site Plan approval in late 2020 or early 2021, followed by engineering and building permits being processed in 2021. We anticipate the earliest construction to begin in 2021 or early 2022. Our existing buildings will continue to operate until each site is scheduled for redevelopment.
