Rockville council approves amended CUP for metal recycling and an interim use permit for llamas
Summary
The council adopted planning recommendations to allow metal recycling at 1380 Prairie Drive under an amended conditional use permit and granted an interim use permit to house llamas at 24949 County Road 138; both motions passed unanimously and staff will track permit conditions and compliance.
Planning staff presented two land-use items to the Rockville City Council. The first was a request to amend an existing conditional use permit (CUP) for a 2.02-acre I-1 property at 1380 Prairie Drive to explicitly allow metal recycling. Six notices of public hearing were sent; no members of the public testified for or against. The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to the existing CUP conditions, hazardous-waste handling requirements and compliance with I-1 zoning standards. A council member moved to adopt the resolution granting the amended CUP (transcribed in meeting notes as 2024-31); the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. The transcript does not include individual vote tallies or the full, unambiguous resolution number.
The second item involved a request from an applicant identified as Travis Yamry to house llamas on a 5.75-acre R-1 parcel at 24949 County Road 138. Fifteen notices were sent, and two neighboring residents spoke in favor during the hearing. Planning recommended approval with conditions that follow R-1 agricultural requirements, applicable health and safety codes, and local nuisance rules. The council voted to grant the interim use permit (IUP) by motion, which was seconded and recorded as unanimous.
Both land-use approvals were presented as routine and came with conditions to ensure compliance with zoning and hazardous-waste rules where relevant. Staff said they would continue to monitor compliance and return to council if issues arise.
