Chesapeake Beach has a population of about 6,000. It doesn't have the
resources to set up its own building/inspection department. None of the
bitty towns in this county do. What they do have are zoning areas that
help prevent the sort of unsightly urban commercial sprawl you see in,
say, Florida. We're not going to have some crappy convenience store or
gas station opening up on a vacant lot a mile away.

You already have a 7-11 store 2.72 miles away as the crow flies.How
convenient.
What more could you want? My guess is that you'd like a full time fire dept.
