Applicant Luke Zeller of Harris Mariga described repurposing an existing commercial site formerly used for electrical and plumbing supply. He said the proposal would demo about 30,000 square feet of existing buildings and convert the site to an auto dealership, retaining portions of the larger rectangular structure and removing some front offices and a pipe storage building.

Zeller described parking and circulation: the applicant described adding parking to meet site needs (the transcript contains numeric references that were unclear as spoken — see clarifying details). The site is served by two access points, including a signalized intersection near Costco and a Market Street access at the north end. Utilities would use existing water and sewer connections where possible, and the team plans to reuse components of the existing stormwater network, including two on-site ponds constructed with the original development.

On forest conservation, Zeller said the site currently has no forest cover and is mostly maintained lawn; the applicant proposes afforestation plantings and additional street trees along Monocacy Boulevard while preserving established street trees where feasible. The remainder of the forest requirement would be satisfied by a fee-in-lieu payment, the applicant said.

Roderick said the plan completed its first round of staff review; applicants will resubmit to address comments and then schedule Planning Commission workshops and hearings when ready. No written public comments were recorded at the meeting.

Because portions of the transcript contained unclear numeric statements about parking counts, the article notes the parking capacity and allocation described by the applicant in the transcript without asserting an exact total; those figures should be verified against the formal site plan submission.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Frederick - Citywide Planning Department Community Outreach Meeting - Jun 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Christina Roderick, division manager of current planning, presented a final site plan and preliminary forest conservation plan for a proposed BMW dealership at 600 South Market Street.","taxTitle","Frederick City, Frederick County, Maryland","taxId",4996,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6523121,"Oshman Family Foundation seeks institutional zoning for donated downtown parcel for a youth center",273,565000,838000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065748-44eb40ec5240a6b85c2c9e303fdc52a0&start=565&end=838","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065748-44eb40ec5240a6b85c2c9e303fdc52a0/thumbnail_565000.jpg","/articles/6523121/Frederick-City/Frederick-County/Maryland/Oshman-Family-Foundation-seeks-institutional-zoning-for-donated-downtown-parcel-for-a-youth-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6523121-478e736a237b50837ec516f012259c43/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191131&Signature=HQLBnFyi7hS7CkZN4GgH~aMFIY5HbVNiD7ahhleE53NyARV5k8EbUa-xaDu3RiC-P4EZfB~B6l6qZq2G3IP4i4uTlcMUgxOcP5xKOE7qw6GP9UG5kx6PN5ckum1hcvmrvnNmG5SMl1VZ3W7xZ0TvRRenUM0NmnLZUqUAGHyGy0OnxDnPkMTZqSSRsuk70sanymv-ROVtkSTRwxG6ywHkSXdaWuIi4WimTgo7Wp8Hqz76B1IYSfUsD3G7af5MeIXyXqOnhaaiSDy-mVndoAoAf6YTrPlpGIeyhS8Q23uRAT1VT5qfPwXqZ9Knerce73S5BDm7FyGAWgEKVhbTsW69mg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jeremy Holder of Oshman Properties presented a rezoning application for a parcel the county identified as surplus and donated to the city for use as a youth center. Holder said the Oshman Family Foundation will lead renovation and development of the building while the City of Frederick will operate the facility once established.

Holder described the site’s location relative to Jefferson Street, Scotty’s Bus Lane and McCurdy Field and said the parcel is adjacent to an existing city park and near the Boys & Girls Club. The proposal anticipates the youth center will connect to the park and provide indoor recreation, lounge and educational space targeted to ages 12–24. Holder said youth participants have been involved in planning and nonprofit operators will share space to provide services.

Planning staff explained the rezoning request seeks to change the parcel from General Commercial (a base Euclidean zone) to the Institutional floating zone to align the city’s zoning with the intended public use. The staff reviewer noted rezoning requires two Planning Commission public meetings (workshops) for a recommendation before the city council considers final approval; the application will appear at Planning Commission meetings in July and August, then proceed to the city council for consideration.

Holder said the family foundation took the lead after the county made the property available and the city accepted the donation; the city took possession in late March. He estimated the facility would be about two years from opening, subject to renovation and administrative steps. No public comments were recorded during the meeting on the rezoning item.","Oshman Properties and the Oshman Family Foundation are pursuing a zoning map amendment to apply the institutional (floating) zone to a county-donated parcel near McCurdy Field for development of a youth center serving ages 12–24; the city will consider rezoning after Planning Commission recommendation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6523126,"Lumen proposes premanufactured 'fiber huts' and generators at Ballenger Creek site",75,330000,405000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065748-44eb40ec5240a6b85c2c9e303fdc52a0&start=330&end=405","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065748-44eb40ec5240a6b85c2c9e303fdc52a0/thumbnail_330000.jpg","/articles/6523126/Frederick-City/Frederick-County/Maryland/Lumen-proposes-premanufactured-fiber-huts-and-generators-at-Ballenger-Creek-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6523126-6a2d75996c58c12e636435e0c80773c4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191131&Signature=UOmykZdP97n-kNWpL~NDhIC3nTD101sejnvxpCr3wzEloOV3V5iB~zZS5f~44HuA7VFVq3SJ9bN1-rGOzkaPdvtPZoCKzKCxJyUcbohrQhJqXF1FLCFAo9qonr9liaJFVQro9WFPtlflw5frmHOoCzphgjXyEJcrI3EKldqB6bllb37lfqUTKF9oYrSkt6lscMnq1Rcj5KhLt~WTVCTkWNM8F-~Lxfd-Na4SrGx5nCNVWxyzpma3nEPceYYWQSTCYvCmGt4XyyN7OF2f0EHdFaXSVR9x7N5Un1CxGzw7xiV1w0hrsMW2Oo-BeEBjgp-xvtyZb3FriQVeqjdyXjiTDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sherry Kelly, case planner with the Frederick City Planning Department, introduced an application from Lumen (Level 3 Communications) to expand existing telecommunications infrastructure at 315 Ballinger Center Drive in Ballenger Creek.

Ryan Jolene, representing Level 3/Lumen, said the site is part of a national initiative covering 118 projects to expand capacity and bandwidth at existing telecom sites. The company proposes installing two double-wide, premanufactured concrete huts (24 by 36 feet), a single-wide hut (12 by 36 feet, approximately 11 feet 6 inches high), two new generators and an upgraded transformer in coordination with First Potomac Energy.

Jolene said the huts will match the appearance of existing fiber huts on site and that lighting will be a fully shielded, downward-facing, motion-activated fixture designed to minimize light pollution. He said the generators will be tested “once a week for 15 minutes” and otherwise run only during emergencies. Construction activities described include concrete work, trenching for conduit and setting the huts with a crane; Jolene estimated about 60 days for construction work on-site.

Kelly noted the application will go to the Planning Commission workshop in July and a hearing in August for approval. No public comments were submitted via the city’s e-comment function for this item at the meeting.

The project retains the existing telecommunications use and is characterized by city staff as an expansion of on-site capacity rather than a new use.","Level 3/Lumen presented a plan to add two 24x36-foot prefabricated huts, one 12x36 single-wide unit, two generators and upgraded power at 315 Ballinger Center Drive to expand fiber capacity as part of a nationwide initiative; work expected to take about 60 days and generators will be tested weekly for 15 minutes.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6523131,"Chase seeks new 2,967-sq.-ft. branch with drive-up ATM at Westridge shopping center",173,111000,284000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065748-44eb40ec5240a6b85c2c9e303fdc52a0&start=111&end=284","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065748-44eb40ec5240a6b85c2c9e303fdc52a0/thumbnail_111000.jpg","/articles/6523131/Frederick-City/Frederick-County/Maryland/Chase-seeks-new-2967-sq-ft-branch-with-drive-up-ATM-at-Westridge-shopping-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6523131-ddef516a86663e8d2d637801959bcc82/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191131&Signature=HBJcrc3PmpkEpNjmL4TdzjxTWclCJrdAFtaSmiZON5MqzqBvN-K4tqNbkmtDk~z7iJGUUTYy8NmZQKm5Bc411dLjAWqV4yWXteSYErIeRbGs34hhPsxiIYFFeIgJSKVfHQOs~bB6Mv17pNJEBgnBQHjFvrhJRqpohB77I7YcTwm724o2la8NY7pbsOsj0Xwp8355I1n2lurAKnz48WhRjtd3wKFDNUX0DbjP5PjmutTQF5K~G433hdYyJ7VUdNCNwJSO~R7bN1DhjfTZPYSp0VPAp8Be9ldSPdt9tLAJKyYAbM21Q2xPR3dxZAXbRsatiLWlmuJ4C0nrWOsN9OzHMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sherry Kelly, case planner with the Frederick City Planning Department, presented a final site plan for JPMorgan Chase at 1009 West Patrick Street during the city’s community projects meeting. The applicant proposes demolishing the current building and constructing a new, approximately 2,967-square-foot Chase branch with a drive-up ATM, updated parking and added landscaping and stormwater infrastructure.

The project sits within the Westridge shopping center, which was recently rezoned to mixed use. Kelly said the application is the first step in the final site development review and that the project will proceed through the Planning Commission’s workshop and hearing process, where public comment will be accepted.

Reed Cooksey of Stonefield Engineering Design, representing JPMorgan Chase, described the work as a “face lift” to retain the site’s bank use while upgrading design features. “We plan on demolishing that and in place of the existing parking area, build a approximately 3,000 square foot bank with a drive up ATM,” Cooksey said. He noted the existing structure is about 4,000 square feet and the new design will incorporate Chase’s current branding and updated materials.

No public comments were offered at the meeting. Kelly reminded viewers that the Planning Commission workshop and subsequent hearing will be posted publicly and that interested residents may submit comments through the city’s e-comment function or at the Commission meetings.

The Planning Department will continue technical review with the applicant before scheduling the workshop and hearing dates.","JPMorgan Chase submitted a final site plan to demolish an existing bank at 1009 West Patrick Street and build a roughly 2,967-square-foot branch with a drive-up ATM, new landscaping, parking repairs and stormwater improvements; the application will go to the Planning Commission for workshop and hearing.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6523111,"AstraZeneca seeks >7,000-sq.-ft. perfusion addition for cancer biologics work at Research Court campus",287,1173000,1460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065748-44eb40ec5240a6b85c2c9e303fdc52a0&start=1173&end=1460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065748-44eb40ec5240a6b85c2c9e303fdc52a0/thumbnail_1173000.jpg","/articles/6523111/Frederick-City/Frederick-County/Maryland/AstraZeneca-seeks-7000-sq-ft-perfusion-addition-for-cancer-biologics-work-at-Research-Court-campus","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6523111-f1a8c7a0f1f0bc22cfa81b5083e48676/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191131&Signature=oyhxOR1RGgzFM5kv7CoOJf4qrWwMCbeOd75vHKPpf7lwdCsAwL~frRgWkejsxuasNMzmNtIEMHtVV0md6p2JyLk3zH7Tfq97-2eEwAVN8YV~AWqecww4ydyDg1YYj1uSSlTMGNcpUqr-KfbDyVv1a7vt9E6ULcOBWnN5aNMIcr0PDyPA1ogWK54actVUMkG077PFioNSKeu~X5YMgSIrqXaQvJzU8pHJT3emoY-zrP0SHSO~C7ajnkzsE7JktfI1ox6~VCImJbj4iog0Tl2z3iHNkkLwJ3eaPurrK6PNy3fVygEYx6gRvpNGI5hVwTKD6fxdcg9~jxuRLkezA-XGZg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sherry Kelly introduced an AstraZeneca application for a perfusion addition on the company’s Research Court campus. The addition, to sit between two existing buildings (633 and 636 Research Court), was described by the applicant as slightly over 7,000 square feet and largely internal to the campus, bounded by three highways and surrounded by other commercial buildings.

Erin Pratt, construction manager with DPR Construction, described the addition’s function and lab fit-out. Pratt said the project includes roughly 5,000 square feet of cell-culture and media-preparation space with back-of-house technical support areas, bioreactors and associated process equipment that will enable faster perfusion production cycles. Pratt characterized the perfusion process as allowing faster turnaround for protein vials used in cancer treatments and said the proposed facility would reduce typical perfusion timelines; she cited a planned 4.5-day perfusion run compared with longer standard cycles.

Pratt described work on utilities and site infrastructure: encasing sewer in concrete, relocating a storm line, demoing and relocating some electric and internal fiber lines, installing a new rooftop electrical feeder with an 800-amp panel, and relocating an 8-inch Washington Gas line that was moved two years earlier. She said the addition will not create new regular employees and will have minimal community impacts because it is tucked between existing buildings.

City staff concluded the plan completed the first round of review and will proceed through technical review and permitting; no public comments on the item were recorded during the meeting.","AstraZeneca presented plans for a perfusion addition between two campus buildings at 633/636 Research Court; the addition is described as a little over 7,000 square feet with about 5,000 square feet of cell-culture and media-prep lab space, no net increase in regular staff, and several utility relocations.","actionData","errors"]
