The Montgomery County Planning Board has unanimously approved recommendations to allow a wider range of housing types in areas previously restricted to single-family detached homes. The proposal, which aims to address the county's housing crisis, will be reviewed by the County Council. The recommendations include zoning modifications and policy changes to permit duplexes, triplexes, townhomes, and small apartment buildings in more residential areas. The changes aim to help residents find suitable housing and promote diverse, economically sustainable neighborhoods. The initiative is part of a broader effort to address housing shortage and implement Thrive Montgomery 2050, prioritizing housing diversification to reduce racial and socioeconomic inequality.
