# Montgomery County Planning Commission Meeting 10-21-2026

The Montgomery County Planning Commission meeting on October 21, 2026, considered several special use permit requests and procurement-related work. Commissioners unanimously approved, with conditions, an amendment to Camp Altamont’s existing permits to update its master plan and allow existing and proposed campground improvements. They also unanimously approved Black Diamond Resources’ requests for a contractor storage yard and a clean-earth fill area exceeding 15,000 cubic yards at 4677 Arsenal Circle. The fill proposal covers roughly 105 acres in two phases on a roughly 170-acre property; conditions address buffers, operating hours, dust control, permits, and traffic improvements, including revised access arrangements. No contract awards or spending amounts were reported.

In the work session, staff discussed a resubmitted application for a 194-foot telecommunications tower, scheduled for a future public hearing, and draft zoning amendments to regulate tobacco/vape shops and stand-alone towing establishments. The county’s RFP for a zoning ordinance rewrite was already issued, with responses due October 27; staff expected to report on responses and the schedule at the November meeting. No vendor selection was made. The commission also approved its agenda and moved into work session, and later adjourned.
