White Flint 2
Nicholson Court
Light industrial and commercial uses, including a Ride On bus parking facility and warehouses, are the primary uses in this block. Redevelopment in this district is likely to take place in the long-term. The MARC station will be located in this block and there may be some interest in combining Ride On bus storage and MARC parking facilities. Nicholson Lane, the northern boundary, crosses the CSX tracks and will provide excellent east-west access to the MARC station. For this reason, the zoning and existing uses in this block should be retained and revisited during the development of the White Flint II Sector Plan that will examine the eastern side of the CSX tracks. Retain the existing I-4 zoning (p.46). Construct a MARC station at Nicholson Court. The location replaces the Bou Avenue location recommended in the 1992 North Bethesda/Garrett Park Master Plan. The relocation is appropriate since White Flint will be the most intensely developed activity center in North Bethesda along the Brunswick line (p.52)
