Winery and resort transparency in the Duvalltown Road corridor
Prince George's County
Summary
An appellant is challenging the county's reading of a rule that bans farm-based alcohol production on lots in subdivisions with recorded covenants and an HOA. His argument: the Queen Anne Meadows HOA was forfeited by the State in 2004, so it legally doesn't exist and can't satisfy the rule. A win could open the door for similar farm businesses in AG-zoned subdivisions.
