COMCOR 42A.00.03 Creation of a Friendship Heights Share-A-Ride District

Under the authority of Chapter 42A, titled “Ridesharing and Transportation Management,” of Montgomery County Code, 1984, as amended, the County Executive is establishing a regulation for the creation of a Share-A-Ride District. The regulation facilitates parking reductions under Chapter 59, Article E of the Montgomery County Code for those owners of office developments who meet the qualifications established in Chapter 42A and enter into a written agreement with the County.

A. Section 42A-2, titled “Share-A-Ride Districts,” allows Share-A-Ride Districts to be established by the County Executive at locations where concentrations of employment provide opportunities for a large number of new ridesharing arrangements. Each district is to be an employment center that has a minimum of two million gross square feet of existing office space within a one-half square mile area. All land in the general vicinity of the above area that is zoned or recommended in the appropriate master plan for commercial or industrial use is to be included in the district.

B. All commercial and industrial developments within the boundaries of the Friendship Heights Share-A-Ride District are subject to applicable fees, actions, etc. which apply within that district.

The Friendship Heights Transportation Management District area meets the requirements for a Share-A-Ride District and is hereby established as such by the County Executive.

The boundaries of the Friendship Heights Share-A-Ride District are the same as those of the TMD, and are as follows:
