The Montgomery County Planning Board's draft of the Chevy Chase Lake Sector Plan will be presented to the county executive and Council on Jan. 31, 2013—only a couple months behind schedule, The Gazette reported.

Additional work sessions are scheduled for Jan. 10, 17 and 31, "when the board is scheduled to approve its draft version of the plan," The Gazette added.

Once County Executive Ike Leggett provides commentary on the draft, the draft will be passed to the County Council, which will hold a public hearing before approving a final sector plan, The Gazette reported.

Read more about the process by which the planning board's draft could become the new plan for the sector on The Gazette's website.

Last September, county planning staff presented the planning board with drawings of what the Chevy Chase Lake sector could look like if built up according to staff-recommended densities and heights, or according to property owners' requested densities and heights, Chevy Chase Patch reported.
