Zoning Ordinance #18-2008 approving with amendments,
the Capitol Heights Transit District Development Plan And Transit District Overlay Zoning Map Amendment as transmitted by the Planning Board
Background
On April 26, 2005, the District Council adopted CR-24-2005, a Resolution directing that the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission prepare a new Transit District Development Plan (TDDP) and Transit District Overlay Zone (TDOZ) for Capitol Heights in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
On October 9, 2007, a joint public hearing was held on the Capitol Heights TDDP/TDOZ. On December 6, 2007, the Planning Board held a public work session to examine the transcript analysis of testimony presented at the joint public hearing, and adopted Resolution No. 07-219 to recommend approval of the Capitol Heights TDDP/TDOZ.
On March 25, 2008, the District Council held a work session to consider public hearing testimony and recommendations of the Planning Board and decided to propose amendments to the Adopted Capitol Heights TDDP/TDOZ. Accordingly, and pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Zoning Ordinance, the District Council adopted CR-18-2008 on April 8, 2008, to propose amendments to the TDDP/TDOZ and direct that a public hearing be set on the proposed amendments.
A public hearing on the amendments was held on June 10, 2008. The Committee of the Whole of the District Council met on June 17, 2008, to review the testimony on the public hearing.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 27-213.05 of the Zoning Ordinance, the Council must take final action on these plans by July 1, 2008.
