The Middle River Community Plan (MRCP) effort is in response to Baltimore County Council Resolution 40-04, which recognized that development pressures were impacting the study area (defined as Pulaski Highway to the West, Ebenezer Road to the North, Windlass Run and Bengies Road to the East and Martin Boulevard to the South). Resolution 40-04 recognized the need to explore ways to strengthen the existing residential character of the area, while not damaging its commercial vitality, by calling for a comprehensive evaluation and review of existing and potential development.
An eight person advisory group was formed in August of 2004 and County staff presented the existing conditions in terms of development, roads, water and sewer, schools, recreation and parks, and police services. These topics were reviewed over several meetings with a draft document summarizing the impacts associated with potential development scenarios the plan area.
On September 4, 2007, the County Council approved the Middle River Community Plan and zoning issues. The Community Plan may be viewed as one PDF file or individual PDF files.
