The Gaithersburg City Council on Monday night passed a change to the city code to clarify where public housing may be built.
Opponents worry the change could limit affordable housing and impede a proposed redevelopment of a hotel into a senior center.
The council introduced the amendment in November. It states that properties zoned for commercial, employment and industrial uses could not have residential uses in those zones.
