Legislative Update: 2024 COMPREHENSIVE ZONING MAP PROCESS (CZMP)
Baltimore County is about to enter its quadrennial Comprehensive Zoning Map Process (“CZMP”) process. The CZMP is an opportunity to request a change in a property’s zoning which could increase a property’s value and allow flexibility for redevelopment.
The process takes a full year and ultimately results in the County Council voting on all “Issues” (rezoning applications). The online application period has opened, and the public may submit applications until October 13, 2023. Public hearings will be held before the Planning Board in February of 2024, and before the County Council in June of 2024. It is important to know that once a property is entered into the process, it is at risk for a change to any zoning classification, as an application cannot be withdrawn. Thus, now is the time to consider whether a property could benefit from this opportunity.
