Petition to stop Dollar General
The Issue
Dollar General store is proposed for Fallston in the Upper Crossroad area; 2800 Fallston Road (former Exxon station site). This petition opposes the development of a Dollar General at this location.
The proposed Dollar General site in Fallston is a rural area with locally owned businesses, low density residential, and farmland / agricultural areas. The proposed new building for Dollar General would be located on a 1.43 acre lot in a designated Village Business District*1 zoning. Surrounding area Dollar General stores are located in B2 or B3 zoning NOT Village Business District.
Dollar General, Jarrettsville, MD 21084 / B3, Dollar General, Joppa, 21085 / B3, Dollar General, Street, 21154 / B3, Dollar General, Bel Air, 21015 / B2 Zoning
Retailers and services, to include Fallston’s Walmart (~ 7 miles from proposed site), are conveniently located along US 1 (an area designated as the Development Envelope) to support the communities in the area of this proposed development.
We ask that Barry Glassman, County Executive, Billy Boniface, County Executive Chief Advisor, Patrick Vincenti, County Council President and Joe Woods, Councilman District B (Fallston) to oppose the development of the Dollar General at 2800 Fallston Road. We oppose the development of a Dollar General at 2800 Fallston Road and seek to protect the character of a long established rural area.
IMPORTANT DATE - PLEASE CONSIDER ATTENDING
A virtual COMMUNITY INPUT MEETING (CIM), VIA ZOOM , is scheduled on 12/3/2020 at 6p.m., ZOOM MEETING ID- 893 6574 3779

*1 VB - Village Business District This district is intended to provide business services to rural areas and to preserve and enhance the character and function of long established rural settlements. This district compliments the VR by providing a mix of business and residential uses at an appropriate scale. The Rural Village Study is used as a guide for achieving architectural compatibility.
*2 B2, Community Business District is intended to provide a wider range and scale of retail, business and service uses than are permitted in the B1 District, and is oriented to serve several neighborhoods. The intensity of development as well as the concentration of vehicular traffic is greater than the B1 District.
*2 B3, General Business District is intended to provide a wide range of retail, service and business uses serving local and county-wide areas. Such activities are generally located along arterial roads.
