Planning Board Reviews Tree Canopy Conservation Bill
The Montgomery County Council will hold a public hearing on the bill Jan. 17.
The Montgomery County Planning Board today will review a tree canopy conservation bill proposed by the Montgomery County Council in November.
Bill 35-12 would protect existing tree canopy, create a fund to plant new trees, and "establish procedures, standards, and requirements to minimize the loss and disturbance of tree canopy as a result of development," according to the language proposed.
Planning staff has recommended that the Planning Board support the bill with amendments.
