Title

AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING GENERAL PROVISIONS-DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY PURSUANT TO THE PRIOR ORDINANCE-LIMITATIONS ON DEVELOPMENT for the purpose of limiting the authority in the Zoning Ordinance for development under the prior Ordinance superseded by the revised Subtitle 27 of the Prince George’s County Code, being also the Zoning Ordinance of Prince George’s County.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. Accordingly, this bill will limit authority for development applications in the County using the prior Ordinance.
