Trachtenberg Office Tours Kensington Sector Plan Area

The Trachtenberg Office participated in a recent tour of the Kensington and Vicinity Sector Plan area. The tour, organized by Montgomery County Planning Board staff, visited key neighborhoods and business districts in the Plan Area.

The draft sector plan, which has been forward to the County Council for its consideration, provides a vision for the area and guides its physical development for the next 20 years.

The updated plan will articulate the Kensington communities’ vision and guide the area’s physical development over a 20-year period. The Kensington Sector Plan area includes the incorporated Town of Kensington and three adjacent areas: the West Howard antiques district, the Ken-Gar community north of the CSX railroad tracks and the small commercial district at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and University Boulevard.

Among the planners’ recommendations are ways to redefine the town center as a mix of housing, businesses and activity spaces with pedestrian friendly connections to Kensington’s established neighborhoods.
