HIGHWAYS AND
PUBLIC TRANSIT

The general plan includes the
detailed master. plan of high.
ways already adopted by the
commission.
The commissions highway
plan is closely tied in with the
State Roads Commissions H.
year plan and the commission
has saved taxpayers millions OF
dollars in right-of-way acquisi-
ton costs getting needed lane
through subdivision controls.
At the same time, the commits
sion has pinpointed locations OF
other major roads such as the
Northern Parkway and the Outer
County Circumferential and has
prevented development in their
paths through reservations.
The general plan in detail
outlines the procedures being
followed in the Metropolitan
Area mass transit studies to in
dictate there is no conflict be-
tween the commissions own
planning and that Of the public
transit experts.
The general plan points out
that any new mass transit sys-
tenn will have a major effect on
the course of development in
the suburban Maryland area.

INDUSTRIAL
PLANNING

The concept Of the suburban
counties as merely the Capitals
bedrooms" is being revised, the
planners contend and point to
the attractions they offer indus
try.
The suburbs need industry net
only to diversity the economic
base but also to provide addi-
tional taxes to support schools
and other public services.
The general plan places a great
emphasis on the industrial ca
pacity Of the regional district
and the need for better under
standing by the public that in
dustry is mo longer a misfit to
be Stunned but rather a valued
neighbor."
The plan proposes establish
ment planned Of industrial dis
tricts."
The staff asserts there is vir-
tually no industrial land reserve
in Montgomery and an made
quate amount in Prince Georges.
The plan foresees Prince Georges
continuing to capture most of
the industry.
The plan shows 5000 acres in
industrial districts plus about
1900 more at general locations
for a total reserve exceeding six
times that now being Used.
In Montgomery an industrial
site Is proposed on Old George
town road near the southeast leg
Of Route 240. Another 220 acres
is shown at Montrose where it
would be served by the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad. Four other sites
are proposed along new Route
20 and the outer Circumferential
in the eastern section.
Most of the industrial land
proposed in Prince Georges is
on the Baltimore Washington
axis served either by the B g. o
or Pennsylvania railroads, or the
Washington circumferential or
Annapolis expressways.

BUSINESS DISTRICTS

The general plan contemplates
eight major shopping centers
roughly four to six miles apart,
including Silver Spring, Be-
thesda. Wheaton, Langley Park,
District Heights and Eastover.
Two proposed major centers
would be at new Route 240 and
Bells Mill road in Montgomery
County and at new Route so and
the Baltimore parkway in Prince
Georges County. -
The plan would promote bust
ness districts that would be CEN
tiers Of community activity rather
than simply commercial areas
Existing areas have been rounded
out to secure compact develop
ment.
At the same time, the staff
hopes this will help eliminate
ribbon commercial development
along major highways. The stan
notes that despite its repeated
warnings ribbon development
continues along the Marlboro
pike in Prince Georges.
In addition to the major CEN
ters-to be supplemented by new
centers at Laurel, Oxon Hill and
Rockville-l4 secondary centers
are provided.

centers are 81 local centers, Sc

DETRIMENTAL
INSTALLATIONS

The Federal Government owns
$4,000 acres Of land in the reg
ional district-all of the tax
rolls.
Planners are concerned over
the failure Of the Federal Gov
eminent to have an understand
able, consistent policy on locat-
ing new agency sites in the
Washington area.
Planners feel that Federal
agencies virtually ignore plan
ming authorities in selection OF
sites and pay little or no atten-
ton to recommendations Of other
Federal agencies.
The general plan suggests as
potential Federal installation
sites two tracts near new Route
$40 west Of Bethesda, another
at Forest Glen road and Georgia
avenue. 1t also suggests con-
tinued expansion of Federal
facilities at Suitland.
The general plan calls for In
creased cooperation between
University Of Maryland officials
and College Park officials to
make the city a university COM
munity."

Suburban Plan Unveiled
For Nearby Maryland

lare trying to maintain the
character Of some existing areas
and to prevent premature sub
division In outer regions" he
said.
Chief architects Of the plan
were MI, Burrage, Robert L.
Wrigley and John s. Hewins.
The planners have as their
goal the development Of a SUBJ
urban area containing we'll
planned parks. schools and other
public facilities criss-crossed by
limited-access expressways and
parkways which would hold the
bulk Of commercial centers, CEN
tiers Of employment and indus
try.
This suburban area would be
surrounded by q rural area Of
farms. small estates and big
regional parks. country clubs and
other green strips" readily ac-
cessible to the population.
Previously adopted master
plans Of highways and schools,
parks and recreation, as well as
detailed reports on coming and
street plans for shopping areas
are included in the general plan
Cabin John Plan Included
The general plan also encom-
passes the recently detailed land
use and coming plan proposed by
the commission stan Tor the
Cabin John Valley area. The
commission plans to make SIM
liar studies Of other areas.
The population forecasts and
studies that went into the Gen.
eral Plans preparation were CO.
ordinated closely with those Of
John T, Howard in his proposals
for the entire Metropolitan
| washington Area.
The Maryland planners, how
ever, did not go as far as Mr.,
Howard, who, in effect, urged a
virtual ban on development In
the so-called rural areas.
The plan forecasts big popu-
lation gains for the Oxon Hill
and Spaulding areas Of Southern
Prince Georges where the Hen
son Greek sewer line is being
built. It also points to the growth
in the adjacent areas which now
have no planning or coming
controls.
At one point the commissions
staff recommends that the low
density character Of the North
west Branch valley be main
tanned.
Yet this area already is slated
for a sewer line extension that
can be expected to touch of a
big development boom in specu-
lative homes.
The plan calls for an end to
the "tail-wagging deg" act
lin which the Washington SUBJ
urban Sanitary Commission
controls the course Of develop
ment by its sewer and water
extensions.
At present. for example, the
sanitary commission has It's own
lflve-year construction program
which was adopted without a
requirement for agreement from
the planning commission or the
two counties. And the North
west Branch sewer line was pro-
Igrammed over opposition Of the
planning staff.

Seek to Reduce DensIties
The planners are aiming at
continued growth outward from
the District but at reduced den,
stiles.
The planners pointed out thai
most outlying areas In bott
counties will remain rural ii
character because Of their dis,
lance from the District.
It was noted, however, thai
mass housing and Commercial
development has consumed
eight square miles Of open lane
on the fringe Of the Washington
area each year during the post
war period.
The plan emissions a popula.
ton Of 1.165, 900 for all of Mont,
lgomery and Prince Georges
Counties by 1880. It forecasts thu
population of the 294-Square
mile regional district, put a
ass, 900 in 1855, will increase tt
$4,000 in the next IS years.
The suburban area within
which they propose to limit me.
diunn and high density develop
ment lies roughly between tn,
District line and the Outer Cir.
cumferential and Cabin Johr
valley in Montgomery County
and the District line and thu
Washington Circumferentia'
FreeWay In Prince Georges
County.
Within this 144-square-milC
area planners emphasize there
is adequate room to handle the
population increases anticipated
The plan seeks to maintain
the farmette and estate area Of
Potomac; the character Of the
low density, high value develop
ment in the Northwest Branch
valley, and the farmland (some
of Prince Georges County'S best)
in the Largo section. It also
would discourage residential
growth around Andrews All
tofce Base.
Satellite communities both In.
side and outside the Regional
District are seen developing In
/ the rural areas around villages
like Burtonsville. Ashton and
Olney.
Federal Cooperation Asked

of the plan plead for increased
cooperation between govern.
mental agencies in determining
the areas future.

PARKS AND
RECREATION

The general plan recognizes
the need for large regional parks
and recommends 10 both inside
and outside the regional district.
The commission stan feels
that because these parks are
sorely needed not only for Mary
land but also for District Of
Columbia residents the Federal
Government should help pay for
them.
The stan proposes one acre
Of playground space for 800 per-
sons and one acre Of regional
park space for 100 persons. The
commission at present owns g..

FARMING AND
RURAL LIFE

About one-fifth Of the regional
district is in farmland and
twice this much is in woodland.
The commissions stan urges
efforts to preserve the best farm
land for agricultural uses. The
farmettes and estates should be
promoted In areas having poorer
soil.
The planners feel that farm
ers may be encouraged not To
tacate their land through pos
sible tax relief.

855 acres Of stream valley park
land with TIA acres Of this de-
veloped for recreation. 1t also
owns As local parks and recrea-
ton centers totaling $50 acres.
The general plan also stresses
the need for watershed protec-
ton, noting that while it re-
quired an S.3-inch rainfall in
1888 to produce an 11-foot flood
in Rock Greek, it takes only a
5-inch rain to cause the same
damage today.
