and enhance the quality of life throughout the
area.

Highlights
The intent of this Plan is to preserve the
existing residential character and to reinforce
the many desirable features of East Silver
Spring's neighborhoods. The map shows the
community preservation, stability and character
concept for East Silver Spring. If the police
station on Sligo Avenue relocates to another
area of the county, this Plan recommends that
this site be redeveloped with townhouses to
provide a wider range of housing types in
East Silver Spring. The plan also recommends
using a variety of County programs to
improve community infrastructure and the housing
stock.
Recommendations
Preserve
the residential character of East Silver
Spring neighborhoods.
Encourage
reinvestment by allowing low, medium,
and high density apartment areas to
continue or be replaced at the current density.
Encourage
maintenance and preservation of housing
through code enforcement and other improvement
programs.
Meet
the needs of area residents by providing facilities
for social service organizations.
Support
protection of historic resources.
Recommend
townhouse zoning as an option for two
properties to increase the range of housing
choices.
Limit
concentration of special exception
commercial uses along major highways
between commercial centers.
