The Metrorail (Metro) in Washington, DC commenced operation in 1979. The red line extension to the Shady Grove Metro Station in Montgomery County, Maryland opened in 1984. Seven years prior to the opening of the Shady Grove transit station, the Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commission (MNCPPC) adopted and approved a Shady Grove Sector Plan to provide guidance for development around the transit station and to reduce the potential negative effects of a Metro station complex. In 1990, the MNCPPC adopted and approved another sector plan that recognized that transit should form the basis for land use and zoning recommendations. In the twenty-two years the station has been in operation, there have been significant land use changes within a one-mile radius of the station. The land use has transformed from predominately agriculture and forest to a mixture of low and medium-density residential, institutional, and industrial, with small pockets of commercial and open space.
