Gaithersburg Planning Commission to make recommendation on new Spectrum apartment building proposal


The Gaithersburg Planning Commission will vote on its final recommendation to the Mayor and Council on a proposed new residential development at the Spectrum development this Wednesday night, October 19, 2022 at 7:30 PM. Located at 103 and 203 Spectrum Avenue, the building would house 230 units. It would be six stories tall, at a total height of 70'. 


City planning staff notes that residents of 30 units on the first and second floors may have difficulty accessing the lobby and amenity space of the building, and that the applicant's revised proposal has not adequately addressed those concerns. It also finds that the side of the development facing MD 355 could still be better enhanced with tile or landscaping features. 

Despite these two areas of concern, staff is still advising the Planning Commission recommend the Mayor and Council approve the project. Staff will address the two concerns with amended conditions to the approval, if the Planning Commission wishes.
