Gaithersburg to hold public hearing tonight on Royal Farms, Starbucks at Spectrum development

Gaithersburg's Mayor and Council and Planning Commission will hold a joint public hearing tonight on three proposed additions to the Spectrum development along Watkins Mill Road between I-270 and MD 355. A Royal Farms convenience store, with gas station and car wash, has been proposed for a site near the future interchange with I-270. Also on the drawing board is a Starbucks, and a pad site for a future retail or restaurant tenant.

Royal Farms has shown some renderings of what its structures will look like. The store, best known for its award-winning fried chicken, will have 61 parking spaces. If approved, it will be the first Royal Farms in Montgomery County.

City staff have not made a recommendation on the proposal yet, as it is very early in the process. The Mayor and Council will determine how long to keep the public comment period open at tonight's meeting, which will be held at 7:30 PM at City Hall.

  1. Surprising no one corrected (at least not on this map) the reference to Route 355 as Rockville Pike. That name only applies up to the intersection of Route 355 and Gude Drive.
