Planning commission seeks joint workshop on floating‑zone text amendment, stresses master‑plan process

Members of the Boonsboro Planning Commission voted to pursue a joint workshop with the mayor and council and the town attorney to discuss a proposed floating‑zone text amendment. Staff said the floating zone would be a legislative change to the zoning ordinance that, if adopted, would create a new zoning classification but would not itself authorize construction — developers still must submit a master plan, traffic and environmental studies, phasing and typically a developer's rights and responsibilities agreement (DRRA).
