Montgomery County Planning Board votes down Costco gas station in Wheaton

Published



The plans for a controversial 16-pump gas station at the Wheaton Costco will not be endorsed by the Montgomery County Planning Board, after members voted 3-2 to deny a special exception permit that would allow the station to be built.

The board’s decision will be forwarded to the county’s Board of Appeals, which will issue a decision on the matter. A hearing examiner also has to weigh in on the plan.
