Planning commission approves amended RV‑1 use changes, will forward zoning change to town council

Nov 20, 2025

The commission voted to make several uses (including recreational/fitness studios and certain professional/retail uses) conditional in the RV‑1 zone—limited to preexisting mixed‑use/multifamily buildings—and will forward the amendment to the town council for final action.

The full story

The Chesapeake Beach Planning & Zoning Commission voted on Nov. 19 to amend the RV‑1 land‑use table so several uses would become conditional in that zone rather than categorically prohibited. The change—approved by a voice vote at the meeting—applies a preexisting condition so the uses would only be allowed as integral parts of an existing mixed‑use commercial and multifamily development recorded prior to the ordinance cutoff date.
