Wheaton Gateway Sketch Plans Available to View Now
Sketch Plans Available to View Now
The Wheaton Gateway Sketch plan application was formally accepted by the Maryland-National Park & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) on March 15, 2021, and is available to view online now!
We want to share these Sketch plans with you directly so that you have an opportunity to review them and provide us with direct feedback here.
What Happens Next
Montgomery County Planning Department staff will now review the application, provide feedback to our development team, and schedule a meeting with the Development Review Committee (DRC). Following the DRC meeting, there will be a hearing before the Planning Board.
After ultimate approval of the Sketch Plan, the next planning milestone will be the submission of a Preliminary Plan of Subdivision, as well as a Site Plan. These plans will be submitted with the benefit of the feedback received on the Sketch Plan from both the Montgomery County Planning Department staff, the community (you), and the Planning Board. A mandatory public pre-submission meeting will again be held within 90 days prior to the initial application date of these future Site and Preliminary Subdivision Plan applications. We will announce these dates here and on the project website once they are known.
These future Site and Subdivision Plan applications will again go before the DRC and again before the Montgomery County Planning Board for a vote. Once the future Site Plan and Subdivision plans are approved and entitlements are received, the team will pursue building permits for a first phase of development, and upon their issuance, construction will commence. It is not anticipated that construction on the first phase will commence earlier than 2023.
