Allentown Rd Fort Washington, MD 20744

This property in Fort Washington, MD, presents subdivision and development potential under its current RE zoning. The designation permits one dwelling unit per acre, allowing for the creation of approximately six estate lots, each requiring percolation testing and well installation. Alternatively, a Special Exception may be pursued to allow for Senior Detached Housing, which increases the allowable density to six dwelling units per acre, supporting the development of up to 35 detached units. The conceptual design is based on the development principles of the R-55 zoning classification, with proposed lot sizes at a minimum of 6,500 square feet. Preliminary concept and resource plans indicate environmental constraints, including wetlands and a stream, which may impact the total number of buildable lots. A comprehensive feasibility study by a civil engineer is recommended during the study period to assess these conditions and refine the layout. The 5.97-acre site is 100% wooded and includes identified wetlands and a stream per a formal Wetlands Report. Additionally, a WSSC right-of-way traverses the property. Preliminary engineering work has begun, including a concept plan and natural resource inventory, with available documentation accessible online. The property may not be accessed without a scheduled appointment; unauthorized entry is not permitted.
