Gaithersburg Mayor & Council to review plan for swim school at Market Square

The owner of Market Square shopping center is seeking a plan amendment that would allow a retail building at the property to be rezoned for private educational use. Once home to DressBarn, the proposal is to convert the space into an indoor swim school.

Gaithersburg's Mayor & Council will conduct a courtesy review of the proposed amendment at their meeting tonight at City Hall. They can then either declare the change to be of minor impact, and direct the city's Planning Commission to make a final decision on the amendment, or send the amendment to the commission for a full evaluation, public hearing and decision. In the latter case, the Mayor & Council would then vote whether or not approve the amendment, if it is approved by the commission.
