Attorney Soo Lee-Cho, in conjunction with The Maryland National Capital Building Industry Association, recently achieved the successful enactment of three separate but related pieces of legislation through the Montgomery County Council (ZTA 12-16, ZTA 12-18, and SRA 12-03) that finally clarifies once and for all the property rights of “pre-1928 substandard lots” in the County. When the County enacted its first Zoning Ordinance on March 16, 1928, it established a minimum lot size requirement of 5,000 square feet for a one-family dwelling, rendering substandard a number of smaller pre-existing lots located mostly in down-county areas such as parts of Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Glen Echo and Cabin John, among others.
