Comprehensive Zoning Map Process

Once every four years, Baltimore County goes through the CZMP during which properties may be submitted for consideration for up- and down-zoning. It is a year long process beginning with submission of properties to be consider by owners, community organizations, and individuals of properties for consideration. The Office of Planning then studies each issue and makes recommendations to the Planning Board which holds public hearings. Following the Board's recommendations, the County Council votes on the final zoning changes.

The GKCA, in accordance with its mission, proposes some properties for down-zoning and may oppose some up-zoning requests.

Information concerning 2008 CZMP issues in the GKCA area can be found at the Baltimore County web site. The following is a summary of issues in the GKCA area and the final results.

* The actual current zoning often contains small amounts of other zones besides what is listed above due to inaccuracies in the County's zoning and property line data. These are not included in this list, but will be seen listed on the County web site. They are inconsequential and, in fact, often round off to 0.

** Entries from the Office of Planning are generally to allow minor adjustments to the current zoning boundaries to make them coincident with the actual property lines.
