Comprehensive Zoning Map Process 2020

The Comprehensive Zoning Map Process (CZMP) takes place every four years on an exact schedule specified in the County Code. Any citizen may request a zoning change on any property in Baltimore County, although the usual participants in the process are individual landowners, contract purchasers, community organizations, County staff, the Planning Board and the County Council.

The CZMP covers a period of approximately 12 months and results in zoning decisions that are reflected in a final log of issues. Ultimately, the County Council decides on each issue whether to retain the existing zoning or to enact a different zone(s) or district(s). Generally, each issue is a single property, but an issue might cover many adjoining properties and might even cover many hundreds of acres. The zoning on all properties that were not issues is reenacted without change.

For more information, please visit the CZMP page. If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Planning, 105 West Chesapeake Avenue, Suite 101, Towson, Maryland 21204. Call 410-887-3480 or email czmp2020@baltimorecountymd.gov.

New Water Lines on Eastern Avenue

Baltimore County is replacing old cast-iron water lines on Eastern Avenue, which have failed frequently, between the Back River Bridge and Riverside Drive. Work on the new 24-inch mains began in mid-January and is 70 percent complete. The project is expected to be finished this summer at a cost of $3 million.

Blenhurst Pumping Station

The Department of Public Works and Transportation has started a major renovation of the Blenhurst Sewage Pumping Station at 8345 Bletzer Road. The project, which is 83 percent complete, will cost $2,633,500 and was expected to be finished by December 2019.
