Title
An Ordinance concerning conveyances of land by the State of Maryland for the purpose of restating and clarifying the process for reclassifying property conveyed by the State for the University of Maryland as previously enacted by CB-31-2005 and CB-50-2005.
Background
The proposed legislation that was drafted to correct inconsistencies between CB-31-2005 and CB-50-2005. CB-31 was enacted in July 2005 to allow certain property owned by the University of Maryland to be conveyed to a private developer for a residential subdivision. CB-50 was enacted in November to provide an administrative process for all similar transactions to remove the need to enact specific legislation for each instance. CB-50 was restructured and redrafted to meet the Committee’s directions between the PZED Committee meeting and the date of introduction. In that redrafting process, some of the amendments enacted by CB-31 were omitted. Constituents have indicated, and our staff agrees that the final language in the County Code does not reflect both enactments by the Council. The proposed legislation is designed to correct this error and fully reflect the intended legislative action of the Council in the enactment of CB-31 and CB-50.
