County considers steps to allow airport operations

Maryland Independent, by NANCY BROMLEY McCONATY

The Charles County Planning Commission is considering a proposed zoning text amendment that would allow some airport equipment, facilities and utilities on properties zoned for business park use near Maryland Airport in Indian Head.

The airport on Livingston Road is located in the general industrial zone, the only zone where an airport is permitted, according to a county planning staff report. The property was zoned for general industrial use during the county’s 1992 comprehensive rezoning, but it did not take into account a planned expansion of the airport that requires a realignment of the existing runway because of environmental features that were not taken into account or known of during that time.

  • 1. · Since Maryland Airport (which is actually located in Pomonkey) is so close to where the CCC extension would be I assume that's another "reason" for why the Commissioners are so emphatic about the CCC extension.

    My guess is that plans are to expand the airport, which would require the "need" for hotels/motels in Bryans Road. As the airport continues to expand, it will provide further "justification" for the bridge connecting Charles County with Woodbridge VA.

    In my opinion, these are the "long range plans", which have been in the making for over 40 years and are now on the verge of becoming reality - all that's "needed" is the CCC extension!!

    I know some of you may doubt what I'm saying, but just wait and see if I'm not right about this over the next decade or so...
