Title
An Ordinance permitting limited industrial uses in the M-X-T Zone under certain circumstances.
Background
The County Council adopted CR-2-2007 on February 6, 2007, for the purpose of approving with amendments, the Westphalia Sector Plan and Sectional Map Amendment, thereby defining long-range land use and development policies, detailed zoning policies, and community improvement proposals within the area generally defined by Ritchie-Marlboro Road to the northeast, the Capital Beltway (I-495) to the west, and Pennsylvania Avenue (MD 4) to the south, consisting of a portion of Planning Area 78, the boundaries of which are described in the Zoning Ordinance.
CR-2-2007 contains a finding that the Mirant Mid-Atlantic property, located on Westphalia Road, which is currently developed with a large industrial building, should be redeveloped with mixed residential and commercial land uses under a mixed-use zoning category. This finding also provides that in the short term, the Council should consider legislation to allow limited industrial use of the existing industrial buildings on the site.
This legislation amends the Zoning Ordinance to permit limited industrial uses in the M-X-T Zone under certain circumstances.
