Planning commission approves Charles County Public Schools parking-lot expansion at Radio Station Road site
Summary
The commission approved a major site plan for a parking-lot expansion at the Charles County Public Schools facility at 5985 Radio Station Road; the work is limited to parking improvements, lighting and landscaping and does not include new buildings or water/sewer connections.
The La Plata Planning Commission on May 21 approved a major site plan for a parking-lot expansion at the Charles County Public Schools facility located at 5985 Radio Station Road. The site is part of a larger 134.3-acre campus; the expansion area under review is about 6.4 acres.
Janine Harrington, the town’s planning director, summarized staff review findings: the proposed work is limited to paving and circulation improvements for buses and vehicles, does not add buildings or water/sewer connections, and complies with Town Code chapter 108 (environmental standards), chapter 170 (streets and sidewalks) and chapter 191-48 (landscaping). Harrington said step-3 stormwater plans were submitted and approved, and that the lighting plan conforms to town standards directing light toward the ground to minimize off-site disturbance.
There were no substantive questions from commissioners on the proposal. A motion to approve the major site plan passed by unanimous vote.
The approval addresses circulation and pedestrian safety at the site; no water or sewer allocations or additional building permits were required for this work at this stage.
