Change in Zoning
Needed for Multi-
Million Project
Rockville may get a mul
ti-million dollar shopping
center proposed for a loca
tion in the heart of the city.
The City Council will hold
a hearing Monday, May 15 at
the Civic Center, on the re
quest for rezoning 13 acres on
Hungerford dr. from industrial
to commercial.
A group of local business
men, headed by Matthew M.
Wittenstein, propose to con
struct the Home Furnishing
Mart patterned somewhat after
the Atlanta Merchandise Mart,
wherein a builder or a retail
customer can, under one roof,
purchase an entire packaged
home or all of the equipment
which goes into a home.
The Rockville Planning Com
mission met Thursday night
and discussed this application.
The staff of the Commission
opposed the change in zoning
for the following reasons:
1. Added traffic on the bjt
pass would necessitate the ooiv
struction of another “by-pas.*
2. There would be no guae>
antee that this projeef would go
through even if the 13 acres
were zoned from industrial to
commercial.
3. Asked the applicant whg
other already zoned commerotol
property could not be used.
Of course, Mr. Wittenateta
has answers to all of these ob
jections. He will express at
the City Council Hearing Mon
day evening.
Mr. Wittenstein told the
Planning Commission that this
program has been underway for
over a year and that his group
is now prepared for immediate
construction of the first phase
totalling some 146,000 square
feet of gross floor area and
parking for 1,680 automobiles.
He said that he fully believed
that the use of the ground as
outlined represents the highest
and best use in keeping with
the pattern of development of
the surrounding property, and
has the support of leading busi
ness ,men in downtown Rock
ville.
The initial program repre
sents an investment of over
$3% million. A further invest
ment of $7 million is projected
for additional construction in
the center of Rockville.
