The Montgomery County Planning Department has begun a comprehensive update of the 1978 Town of Kensington and Vicinity Sector Plan. The update will look closely at six major issues: land uses, zones, design, transportation, the environment and community facilities such as schools, libraries, police and fire stations. The updated plan will articulate the Kensington communities’ vision and guide the area’s physical development over a 20-year period.
The Kensington Sector Plan area includes the incorporated Town of Kensington and three adjacent areas: the West Howard antiques district, the Ken-Gar community north of the CSX railroad tracks and the small commercial district at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and University Boulevard.
