Title

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS - LIMITATIONS - USE OF PRIOR ORDINANCE for the purpose of approving, with the force and effect of law, certain limitations on the time for processing of development applications pursuant to the superseded prior Zoning Ordinance of Prince George’s County.

 

Background

In consideration and approval of the new Zoning Ordinance for the County via CB-13-2018, CB-98-2021, and CB-68-2022, the County Council carefully evaluated the scope and extent of its transition to implementation of the revised Ordinance as the only body of local zoning laws governing land use and development in the County. Inherent in its legislative power of the Council is the authority to amend such laws as may be deemed necessary and appropriate. This Resolution is companion legislation, with the force and effect of law, to a separately introduced bill before this Council to repeal the affected provisions of the prior, now superseded Ordinance.
