County Hearings, etc.

Probably the biggest factor in the protection of our community is the work of various County agencies regarding regulation of building and zoning codes. Much of the work of the GKCA involves participation in hearings held by these County agencies on matters brought before them. These include the following:

  • Community Input Meetings (CIM) on proposed developments
  • requests for variances to County building codes
  • code enforcement cases
  • appeals of zoning and code enforcement decisions
  • actions to place properties on the Landmarks list
  • County Council meetings
The GKCA often takes official positions for these hearings, with board members testifying on behalf of the Association. In addition, individual members are encouraged to participate in support of issues they are concerned about.

Scheduled hearings/meetings of interest

Notices of sceduled hearings and information concerning the issues to be discussed are usually posted on-line by Baltimore County. The following provides a schedule of known hearings and links to the information about each, where available. The county web site should be checked for up-to-date infomatation of rescheduling/cancellations.
