Farm-based alcohol production and forfeited HOAs
Prince George's County
Summary
Robert Rose challenged the county's interpretation that his Bowie-area farm lot can't host farm-based alcohol production because his subdivision is subject to covenants — even though the HOA was forfeited by the state in 2004. The board sided with the planning department, meaning the commercial-use restriction stands for the Queen Anne Meadows subdivision.
