New daycare center proposed on MD 355 in Clarksburg

A new daycare center with two classrooms on MD 355 in Clarksburg would care for up to 42 children, according to documents filed with the Montgomery County Planning Department. The daycare facility would build on to an existing single-family home at 23126 Frederick Road (MD 355) and Woodport Road.

Planning staff has expressed reservations about the applicants' original plan to use the existing curb cut access to the property from 355 for the future daycare center. They have recommended the applicants instead create a driveway access from Woodport Road, a street with many private homes along it. Planners have asked the County's Development Review Committee to discuss this issue, as well as parking and traffic flow concerns, at their January 21, 2021 meeting at 9:30 AM.
