Board adopts master plan chapters for town centers, Prince Frederick and Dunkirk
Summary
After public hearings and a brief debate about possible expansion, the board closed the record and enacted ordinances adopting Chapter 1 (Master Plan of Town Centers), Chapter 2 (Prince Frederick Town Center Master Plan) and Chapter 3 (Dunkirk Town Center Master Plan). One commissioner registered opposition to expansion of Prince Frederick.
The Board of County Commissioners voted to close the public hearing record and adopt draft chapters of the Master Plan of Town Centers, including the Prince Frederick and Dunkirk town center master plans.
Planning staff summarized that public comment had been received at a July 21 hearing and that the local government article requires a 10‑day deferral after the hearing. Commissioners moved to close the record and enact the ordinances in separate motions to allow members to vote on each chapter independently. One commissioner voiced opposition to what they described as an expansion affecting Prince Frederick; the speaker and staff clarified which plan elements were intended to bring certain public amenities into a priority funding area rather than to authorize development.
The motions to close the record and adopt the chapters were seconded and approved by voice votes; the board directed staff to proceed with the enacted ordinances.
