New images created by the Montgomery County Planning Board capture the potential scope of development near the Bethesda Metro station on Wisconsin Avenue.
The images were revealed during a planning board work session by planners working on the Bethesda Downtown Plan. The long-term sector plan will outline building density and height guidelines for the next 20 to 25 years. Among the highlights of the work session, planning staff has proposed a sector plan that would allow for two 290-foot buildings, one at the Bethesda Metro Plaza and one at 7600 Wisconsin Ave.
Each of the last two planning board work sessions has included a property-by-property examination of zoning requests and recommendations. Several property owners have requested zoning that differs from planning board recommendations, ranging from more height and density to a different allocation of density. The next work session on the plan is scheduled for Oct. 29. [Bethesda]
