Miss
Amy
Mante
deputy
director
of
the
Department
of
planning,
introduced
the
master
plan
to
the
board
for
2030.
tonight.
The
members
of
the
Department
of
planning,
including
Miss
Mante,
Miss,
Jennifer,
Mitchum
and
Mr
Chris
Weaver,
are
here
to
further
present
the
plan
to
the
board.
A
L
Good
evening
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
planning
board,
the
department
of
planning
is
proud
to
introduce
master
plan,
2030
Baltimore,
County's
10-year
comprehensive
plan.
This
evening,
I'm
joined
by
Jennifer
Meacham
and
Christopher
Weaver
we're
going
to
provide
an
overview
of
each
of
the
five
sections
of
the
plan.
Taylor
binsley
will
be
moving
through
the
master
plan
online
as
we
are
presenting
master
plan.
L
2030
represents
the
culmination
of
a
lengthy
Master
planning
process
which
began
in
the
spring
of
2021
and
included
extensive
Community
engagement,
recommendations
from
local
experts
and
stakeholders,
as
well
as
deliberation
among
County
agencies
and
Department
of
planning
staff.
We
had
four
goals
in
mind
as
we
created
Master
Plan
2030.
Focus,
on
preparing
for
the
future
needs
of
the
county,
incorporate
best
planning
practices,
provide
clear
implementation,
guidelines
and
benchmarks
and
create
a
living
document
that
will
evolve
throughout
the
years.
L
The
master
plan
provides
policies
and
guidelines
for
sustaining
livable
communities
and
achieving
balanced
development
in
Baltimore
County.
Several
mandates,
including
state
and
local
regulations,
affect
master
plan
2030..
First,
the
Baltimore
County
Charter
requires
that
a
master
plan
be
prepared
and
adopted
every
10
years.
Additionally,
details
on
required
and
optional
contents
of
the
plan
are
described
in
the
county
code.
Finally,
the
annotated
code
of
the
Maryland
land
use
article
outlines
the
elements
required
in
most
local
Master
plans
in
the
state
of
Maryland
related
to
land
use.
The
master
plan
does
not
change.
L
These
themes
run
throughout
the
plant
elements,
particularly
influencing
the
goals
and
actions
that
are
found
in
the
growth
and
vision
Frameworks
in
order
to
incorporate
best
planning
practices.
The
plan
draws
heavily
from
the
American
planning
association's
report,
sustaining
places
best
practices
for
comprehensive
plans
throughout
the
process
to
develop
the
master
plan.
We
use
this
report
as
a
guideline
and
as
a
source
of
inspiration.
L
Sustained
places
is
a
policy
document
and
a
tool
that
focuses
on
achieving
livable,
healthy
communities
in
harmony
with
nature,
communities
that
have
resilient
economies,
social
equity
and
strong
Regional
ties.
This
idea
has
been
adapted
into
the
six
principles
in
the
vision
framework,
livable
built
environment,
harmony
with
nature,
resilient
economy,
responsible,
regionalism,
inclusive
planning
and
healthy
community.
L
The
master
plan,
along
with
other
regulatory
documents
and
manuals,
is
used
to
formulate
policies
and
decisions
for
sustainable
and
Equitable
development
throughout
the
county.
One
of
the
most
important
roles,
the
master
plan,
is
its
connection
to
the
implementation
of
capital.
Improvement
program
reviewed
annually
at
the
capital
Improvement
program
is
a
tool
for
implementing
the
goals
and
priorities
of
the
County's
master
plan.
L
The
County's
Capital
Improvement
program
is
a
six-year
plan
for
the
construction
and
maintenance
of
the
County's
Parks
roads
and
bridges,
schools,
Water
and
Sewer.
Among
many
others,
Capital
Improvement
planning
is
primarily
used
to
create
long,
a
long-term
plan
for
Capital
Improvement
projects.
It
helps
bridge
the
gap
between
the
goals
and
actions
set
forth
in
the
master
plan
and
the
budget
process
master
plan.
2030
is
organized
into
four
sections:
the
overview,
the
growth
framework,
the
place
types
map
and
the
vision
framework.
L
The
overview
where
we
are
now
provides
the
guide
to
using
the
online
document
and
the
purpose
of
the
master
plan,
as
well
as
other
information,
such
as
background
on
community
engagement
and
commonly
used
terms.
The
growth
framework
is
focused
on
outlining
a
new
approach
to
growth
over
the
next
10
years.
The
place
types
map
provides
General,

use
based
upon
the
vision,
framework
goals
and
actions,
as
well
as
the

found
in
the
growth
framework.
The
vision
framework
establishes
the
goals
for
future
long-range,
develop
long-range
development
of
a
sustainable
Baltimore
County.
L
In
creating
master
plan
2030,
it
was
planning's
intention
to
shift
the
master
plan
from
a
static
document
completing
it
completed
at
a
point
in
time
to
a
living
document,
we've
used
an
online
platform
called
story
maps
to
create
the
master
plan.
This
platform
has
allowed
us
to
be
more
creative
and
formatting
master
plan
2030
than
we
would
have
been
with
a
static
printed
document.
L
It
will
also
allow
us
more
to
more
clearly
document
and
exhibit
any
updates
to
the
plan,
as
dictated
by
legislative
actions.
It's
important
to
note
that
Community
engagement
has
been
the
foundation
of
master
plan
2030.
in
order
to
enhance
opportunities
for
engagement,
as
well
as
transparency
in
the
process
we
created
online
platforms
to
engage
the
community.
L
A
master
plan,
2030,
Hub
or
website
was
created
at
the
very
beginning
of
this
process.
The
Hub
provides
information
such
as
meeting
recordings
information
collected
from
Community
input
and,
most
recently
it
provides
a
reference
guide
to
refinements
to
the
plan.
Today
over
1200
people
have
joined
the
master
plan
Hub.
The
largest
group
of
those
who
have
joined
are
60
to
69
years
old.
That
is
followed
by
the
50
to
59
age
group
and
then
the
40
to
49
age
group.
L
L
During
the
phase
one
Community
engagement,
listening
sessions,
which
were
held
virtually
from
June
to
September
2021,
we
held
50
meetings
head
over
a
thousand
attendees
and
gathered
over
3
800
comments.
The
input
that
was
gathered,
included,
topics
on
Big
Ideas
and
the
vision
for
the
local
community
and
the
county
in
the
next
10
years.
This
story
map
shows
the
input
that
was
gathered
from
the
participants
in
those
Community
engagement
meetings.
L
As
we
heard
from
communities,
there
is
a
desire
to
establish
a
measurable
implementation
plan
for
the
master
plan.
After
adoption
of
Master
Plan
2030,
an
implementation
dashboard
will
be
created
to
show
the
status
of
each
action.
Successful
implementation
of
the
master
plan
depends
on
a
coordinated
effort
by
many
parties
and
will
be
measured
through
key
metrics
that
are
tied
to
plan
goals
and
Associated
actions.
L
Each
guiding
principle
in
the
vision
framework
has
a
set
of
goals.
These
goals
set
the
stage
for
future
long-range
development
of
a
sustainable
Barbara.
County
actions
are
specific
tasks
for
further
study
and
consideration
by
County
agencies
to
accomplish
each
goal.
Each
action
has
been
given
an
estimated
time
frame
for
initiation
and
assigned
responsible
agencies
that
will
help
with
implementation.
L
L
The
glossary
of
commonly
used
terms
is
intended
to
help
everyone
understand
the
terms
that
are
used
throughout
this
document.
Some
of
the
terms
are
technical
in
nature,
says
our
hope
that
the
commonly
used
terms
will
be
a
useful
guide
to
make
the
master
plan
easier
to
understand
and
more
accessible.
L
The
vision
framework
establishes
the
goals
for
the
future
long-range
development
of
a
sustainable,
Baltimore
County.
As
with
all
sections
of
the
master
plan,
the
vision
framework
draws
heavily
on
the
American
planning
association's
report,
sustaining
places,
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
The
fundamentals
of
the
same
places
report
have
been
adapted
into
the
six
principles
of
the
vision
framework,
livable
built
environment,
harmony
with
nature,
resilient
economy,
responsible
regionalism,
inclusive
planning
and
healthy
community.
Each
principle
includes
goals
and
supporting
actions
for
achieving
sustainable
outcomes.
L
I'll
touch
on
a
few
items
in
each
of
these
sections
of
the
vision
framework,
livable,
built
environment
is
focused
on
ensuring
that
elements
of
the
build
environment,
including
land,
use,
Transportation,
housing
and
infrastructure
work
together
to
provide
sustainable
places
with
a
high
quality
of
life,
because
the
built
environment
shapes
quality
of
life
for
the
entire
population,
sustaining
its
livability
and
ensuring
that
it
functions
at
the
highest
level.
Our
primary
tests
for
any
master
plan,
the
livable
built
environment
section,
has
six
priorities:
land
use
and
development,
housing,
Transportation
infrastructure,
Community
facilities
and
historic
preservation.
L
In
addition
to
any
links
related
to
commute
County
plans,
harmony
with
nature
is
focused
on
ensuring
that
the
contributions
of
the
natural
resources
to
well-being
are
explicitly
recognized
and
valued
and
that
maintaining
their
health
is
a
primary
objective.
While
some
natural
resources
are
protected
are
protected
through
separate
functional
plans.
The
master
plan
sets
the
framework
and
direction
for
protecting,
maintaining
and
restoring
natural
systems.
The
section
has
four
priorities:
Forest
sensitive
areas
and
land
preservation,
free
network
water
quality
and
climate
resiliency
and
Energy
Efficiency.
L
Although
there
may
be
some
areas
with
specific
Economic
Development
strategies,
the
master
plan
provides
the
instrument
for
placing
those
strategies
within
the
context
of
broader
Community
Development
efforts.
The
four
priority
areas
are
commercial
Industrial,
Development
and
reinvestment,
Workforce,
Development
tourism
and
dismantling
barriers
to
entry,
in
addition
to
the
goals
and
actions
tied
to
the
four
priority
areas,
there's
also
a
focus
on
the
County's
existing
commercial
revitalization
program,
which
began
over
25
years
ago.
L
Responsible
regionalism
ensures
that
local
proposals
account
for
connect
with
and
support
the
plans
of
adjacent
jurisdictions
in
the
surrounding
region.
From
the
local
government
perspective,
the
plans
and
policies
of
adjacent
jurisdictions
have
overlapping
impacts
in
terms
of
factors
such
as
the
location
of
new
development
commuting
patterns
and
storm
water
flows.
L
Therefore,
connecting
these
plans
and
policies
through
the
master
plan
is
a
way
to
manage
these
and
other
functions.
The
five
priority
areas
for
this
section
are
expanding
the
regional
economy,
Transit
network
service,
delivery,
sustainability,
Community
stabilization,
inclusive
planning,
ensures
fairness
and
equity
in
providing
for
the
Housing
Services
health
safety
and
livelihood
needs
of
all
citizens
and
groups.
Three
priority
areas
are
data
access,
Community
engagement
and
capacity
building.
The
section
also
highlights
two
initiatives
that
came
out
of
the
Baltimore
County's
2021
efficiency
review.
The
first
is
small
area
plans.
L
One
of
the
efficiencies
identified
for
the
Department
of
planning
was
the
development
and
implementation
of
a
systematic
approach
to
completing
small
area
Community
plans
county-wide
as
a
follow-up
to
the
master
plan
2030
process.
These
plans
will
build
on
the
work
of
previously
adopted
Community
plans,
as
well
as
build
on
the
themes
and
goals
of
Master
Plan
2030.
In
recognition
of
limited
staff
resources,
we've
proposed
12
plan
boundaries.
The
small
air
plans
are
intended
to
provide
area-specific
recommendations
for
achieving
and
refining
the
goals
of
the
master
plan.
L
The
other
recommendation
from
the
efficiency
review
was
the
creation
of
a
community
planning
Institute
in
order
to
engage
community
members
in
the
planning
process
and
develop
a
strong
cohort
of
well-informed
supporters
of
planning
initiatives.
The
community
planning
Institute
has
actually
already
begun.
It
kicked
off
this
month
of
sessions
once
a
week
for
the
five
weeks
in
May.
Our
first
class
has
had
25
participants,
which
were
selected
by
an
application
process
and
due
to
a
high
level
of
Interest,
we
anticipate
holding
the
next
session
later
this
year.
L
Reimagine
security
squares,
also
highlighted
within
this
section,
is
a
community
planning
project
that
began
during
the
master
plan
process.
Since
opening
in
1972
the
site
has
declined
and
remains
under
utilized.
The
vision
for
redevelopment
of
the
mall
site
was
informed
by
the
reimagined
Security
Square
charette,
that
was
held
on
site
in
the
fall
of
2022..
L
And
finally,
the
healthy
Community
section
ensures
that
public
health
needs
are
recognized
and
addressed
through
Provisions
for
healthy
food,
physical
activity,
access
to
Recreation,
Health,
Care,
environmental
justice
and
safe
neighborhoods.
The
master
plan
is
the
appropriate
tool
for
identifying
and
mitigating
public
health
hazards
and
for
promoting
effective,
healthy
Community
goals.
L
M
Growth
framework
outlines
the
plan
for
growth
in
the
county
over
the
next
10
years,
highlighting
Place
types
that
set
aspirational
directions
for
future
development
and
Redevelopment
planning
board
established
the
Baltimore
County
Urban
rural
demarcation
line,
otherwise
known
as
the
erdel
in
1967..
It
was
divided.
It
has
divided
the
county
into
urban
or
suburban
and
rural
areas.
M
Since
that
time,
it's
outlined
in
red
here,
the
division
of
land
allows
infrastructure
investment
in
most
Land
Development
to
be
focused
in
the
urban
or
Suburban
areas,
while
natural
and
agricultural
resources
in
the
rural
areas
are
protected
as
a
result
of
the
ertle,
90
percent
of
the
County's
population
resides
in
one
third
of
the
County's
land
area.
By
confining
much
of
its
growth
to
a
limited
geographic
area,
costs
that
might
have
been
incurred
by
extending
infrastructure
and
development
are
avoided
and
two-thirds
of
the
land
area
is
reserved
for
farming
and
natural
resource
conservation.
M
Baltimore
county
is
one
of
the
top
10
counties
in
the
country
with
over
70
000
Acres
preserved
through
land
preservation
programs.

M
Communities
within
the
ertle
can
encourage
economic
growth
and
help
pay
for
infrastructure
and
services.
In
the
future,
the
County's
Ertl
was
aligned
with
the
state
approved
priority
funding
areas
in
December
of
2020..
Any
changes
to
the
ertle
now
would
involve
coordination
with
the
state
to
also
change
the
priority
funding
area
boundary
similar
to
the
priority
funding
area.
The
erdle
is
directly
related
to
or

to
define,
a
number
of
State

elements
such
as
the

and

M
The
very
first
goal
in
our
master
plan,
2030
Vision
framework,
relates
to
reinforcing
the
existing
hurdle
and
focusing
Redevelopment
strategies
inside
the
ertle.
The
ertle
and
the
newly
proposed
Place
types,
which
will
be
discussed
later,
allow
the
county
to
manage
growth
in
a
matter
that
protects
important
natural
resources
and
agricultural
activities,
while
maximizing
the
efficiency
of
County
expenditures
for
transportation,
Improvement
utilities,
schools
and
other
capital
projects
with
the
adoption
of
Master
Plan
2030
Baltimore
County
will
continue
to
maintain
the
Ertel.
M
Ensuring
sustainable
development,
Baltimore
County's
development
capacity
model
shows
that
the
number
of
potential
additional
units
within
the
hurdle
could
range
from
10
from
10
890
units,
with
the
moderate,
build
out
scenario
to
26
950
units,
assuming
the
full
Zone
built
out
most
slots
do
not
build
out
to
their
fullest
density,
but
rather
to
a
moderate
density.
The
current
Residential
Building
rate
is
1
300
residential
permits
per
year
for
urban
areas
of
the
county.
If
this
building
rate
continues
with
no
change
to
zoning,
the
urban
area
will
reach
full
build
out
in
8
to
20
years.
M
M
Retrofitting
means
embedding
planning
principles
such
as
density,
walkability
and
public
space
into
a
well-established
patterns
of
the
modern
Suburban
built
environment,
in
order
to
improve
the
efficiency
and
well-being
of
anyone
who
lives
there.
The
department
of
planning
developed
a
methodology
to
identify
areas
in
the
county
that
are
most
suitable
for
retrofitting,
creating
the
conditions
for
the
next
step
in
the
evolution
of
the
Suburban
landscape
planning
identified
locations
through
Baltimore
County,
using
a
neutral
data-driven
process
based
on
a
number
of
geographic,
social
and
economic
determinants.
M
27
metrics
were
identified,
which
were
condensed
into
seven
categories:
weights
of
one
three
or
five
points
were
assigned
to
each
layer.
The
layers
were
then
overlaid,
atop,
one
another,
the
overlapping
area
with
the
highest
total
score
or
the
resulting
core
retrofit
areas.
A
work

consisting
of
Department
of
planning
staff,
including
staff
and
department,
heads
from
each
of
our
divisions,
development

community
sign,
conducted
a
series
of
meetings
to
discuss
and
vet.
M
M
Planning
staff
also
made
sure
to
highlight
local
and
institutional
assets
where
commercial
and
pedestrian
activity
is
generated,
along
with
current
land
use
to
accurately
portray
existing
conditions
in
the
county
and
show
which
areas
could
theoretically
support
more
intense
uses
after
the
core
retrofit
areas
were
mapped.
These
areas
were
reviewed
by
the
planners
to
determine
if
the
errors
were
truly
areas
primed
for
possible,
retrofit
weights
were
shifted
and
data
layers
were
removed
or
added
to
produce
a
final
map
of
sites
that
are
truly
areas
primed
for
retrofit.
M
There
are
seven
main
categories
in
the
27
data
layers
that
were
used
for
the
analysis.
This
right
here
shows
the
demographic
status.
The
bulleted
points
here
show
that
the
gis

that
were
used
for
each
category
and
the
weights
that
were
assigned
here
is
the
employment

that
were
used.
Some
of
these

and
others

M
M
The
core
retrofit
areas
helped
the
planning
department
to
map
the
urban

use
map,
which
we
call
the
master
plan.
2030
Place
types,
the
core
of
retrofit
areas
and
and
the
principal
underpinnings
of
the
15-minute
city
concept,
were
combined
to
create
the
new
Master
Plan
2030
Place
types
map.
This
concept,
revised
refine,
refers
to
areas
where
the
surrounding
population
and
dwelling
units
are
within
certain
walking
and
biking
distances
to
the
core
and
will
support
the
primary
functions
therein.
M
A
quarter
mile
represents
a
five
mile
walk.
Three-Quarter
mile
represents
a
15-minute
walk,
and
one
mile
represents
a
five
minute
bike
ride.
We
begin
with
the
areas
that
were
mapped
for
the
from
the
process
described
above,
and
these
are
the
core
retrofit
areas
from
here.
An
eighth
mile
buffer
was
created
around
those
areas,
as
well
as
a
quarter
mile
buffer
around
existing
Transit
stops
and
heavily
used
bus
stops
to
create
a
more
generalized
shapes
for
which
we
call
the
node
Place
type.
M
There
are
several
factors
that
would
impact
the
prior
priority
of
certain
nodes
being
redeveloped,
and
some
of
those
include
proper
infrastructure
and
place
proper
zoning
in
place,
public
input,
County
priorities,
County
funding
and
the
willingness
of
the
property
owner
to
develop
the
level
of
Redevelopment
for
each
node
will
be
discussed
in
Greater
detail
and
involved
public
input
during
the
small
area
plan
process,
because
the
mapping
analysis
was
done
at
a
higher
level.
Therefore,
farther
site-specific
analysis
is
warranted
for
the
sites
identified
for
retrofit
next
quarter.
M
M
The
intent
is
that
these
areas
could
support
some
higher
intense
uses
and
Redevelopment
due
to
their
proximity
to
the
place
type
node
everything
else
inside
the
hurdle
becomes
a

neighborhood.
The
intent
is
that
these
areas
would
remain
with
the
current
uses
that
presently
exist.
M
The
new
role,
Place

located
outside
of

are
based
on
the
Land

and
Parcels
to

There
are
four

in
the
rural
areas
and
four
in
the
urban
areas.
Rural

are
located
outside

M
The
last
few
sections
of
the
growth
framework
focus
on
land
use
and
development
process
reform.
The
three
main
recommendations
to
the
land
use
processes
include:
realigning
the
major
processes
to
the
following
sequence:
decennial
census,
master
plan,
small
area
plans,
comprehensive
zoning
map
process,
Capital,
Improvement
planning
and
water,
and
sewer
plan
amendments.
This
is
the
typical
alignment
for
a
long-range
planning
process
modifying
comprehensive
zoning
map
process
from
a
four-year
to
a
10-year
cycle.
M
A
county-wide
operational
efficiency
review
is
conducted
in
2021
to
assess
the
structure
and
function
across
agencies
and
departments
to
achieve
cost
savings
through
operational
efficiency.
One
of
the
proposals
in
the
report
was
to
adjust
the
frequency
of
the
comprehensive
zoning
map
process
from
every
four
years
to
every
10
years
to
reduce
staff
time
dedicated
to
the
process.
The
planning
department
could
then
align
its
ccmp
with
the
County's
master
plan
process.
This
change
would
produce
Time
Savings
of
nearly
50
000
staff
hours
that
could
allocate
to
current
under-resourced

functions.

Chris
before

our

I
would
like
to
move
the

Ahub
is
where
we're
keeping
track
of
input.
We've
received
on

this
page
documents
all
changes
that
have
been
made,
providing
the
suggested

the
original

well
as

In

we
held

The

50
of

were
considered
and
added
all

on

Just
a
reminder.
The

work
session
on
master
plan
2030
will
be
held
on
June
1st
and
the
planning
board
vote
is
scheduled
for
June
15th.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
members
of
the
planning
board.
A
L
A
June
1st,
thank
you
very
much.
Miss
Mante
I
appreciate
that
now
board
members.
If
you
have
any
questions,
if
you
have
more
than
two
I
ask
you
that
you
only
ask
two
at
a
time
to
give
all
the
board
members
an
opportunity
to
speak
you'll,
be
able
to
ask
as
many
questions
as
you
want,
but
just
two
at
a
time
please
who
would
like
to
start
with
the
first
question:
Mr
Avery.
B
K
O
N
So
through
those
workshops
it
was
determined
that
we
didn't
necessarily
need
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
We
just
needed
to
sort
of
update,
update
our
wheel,
I
guess
that's
akin
to
just
putting
new
tires
on
it,
but
not
making
a
new
wheel.
So
the
the
original
wre
from
2020
to
master
plan
2020
is
linked
in
our
story.
Map
It's,
probably
hard
to
see
when
we
were
scrolling
through
it.
But
the
original
document
is.
N
O
Yeah,
the
only
thing
that
that
concerns
me
and
I'm,
not
even
sure
if
this
is
part
of
what
you
were
talking
about,
is
that
when
you
talk
about
infiltrate
into
the
waterways,
especially
down
here
in
the
southeast
side,
A
lot
has
changed
in
terms
of
the
quality
of
the
water
over
10
years,
with
the
closing
of
the
steel
mill
and
all
of
the
Investments,
the
trade
Point
Atlantic
have
put
into
environmental
remediation,
and
so,
if
we're
carrying
data
that
creates
a
certain
narrative.
That's
now
13
years
old.
O
We're
never
going
to
see
improvements,
because
we
keep
carrying
through
age
data
that
that
that
that
that
that
demonstrates
a
different
narrative
and
so
to
the
extent
that
those
data
that
are
being
shown
in
that
report
are
dated.
I
think
that
new
water
quality
studies
need
to
be
conducted
to
see
just
where
we
are
and
not
rely
on
13
year
old
data.
A
Adhering
any
others,
then
thank
you
all.
We
will
now
begin
our
public
testimony
for
members
of
the
public
who
do
not
wish
to
speak,
but
would
like
to
submit
a
comment
you
see
you
can
do
so
in
the
chat
feature.
Please
send
your
message
to
the
host.
The
host
will
copy
the
comments
and
email
them
to
all
the
board
members.
A
H
Sure
I
am
our
first
speaker
is
Isaac
ambruzzo
speakers.
I
will
go
ahead
and
make
you
a
panelist
when
I
call
on
you,
then
you
will
have
the
option
to
turn
on
your
video.
If
you
wish
to
do
so
and
then
I
will
move
you
back
down
to
an
attendee
once
you're
finished
speaking
and
we
do
have
a
timer
we're
just
working
on
getting
that
called
up
Jessica.
If
you
could
share
your
screen
whenever
you're
ready.
A
P
Thank
you
very
much
chair
Hafford
from
Baltimore
County
planning
board
I'm
here
representing
the
Maryland
building
industry
Association,
which
represents
268
businesses
and
thousands
of
employees
across
the
county.
Mbia
is
testifying
in
opposition
to
the
current
draft
master
plan
2030.
as
the
largest
building
and
development
trade
Association
in
Maryland.
We
feel
it
is
incumbent
on
us
to
point
out
the
flaws
in
the
plan
and
its
inherent
hostility
to
development
and
growth
across
the
county.
P
Our
Baltimore
County
chapter
of
the
mbia
spend
extensive
time
reviewing
and
commenting
on
this
plan
and
has
submitted
a
letter
outlining
our
complete
comments.
Prior
to
this
meeting,
I
cannot
cover
all
the
points
in
that
letter.
In
the
two
minutes
allotted
to
me
here,
but
I
respectfully
respectfully
request
that
you
refer
to
the
letter
for
more
extensive
comments.
P
This
plan
fails
to
address
or
even
identify
the
lack
of
developable
land
in
the
county.
The
plan
creates
roadblocks
for
housing
by
recommending
less
frequent
rezoning
opportunities
and
overhauling
the
Pud
process
to
make
make
it
even
more
cumbersome
than
the
already
existent,
slow
and
inefficient
process.
Baltimore
County
faces
a
growing
housing
shortage,
and
the
existing
regulatory
framework
is
already
insufficient
for
addressing
this
need.
The
plan
also
calls
for
very
little
new
development
inside
the
urinal,
despite
the
purpose
of
the
establishment
of
the
urinal
to
be
to
direct
development
to
that
area.
P
Considering
the
development
restrictions
that
exist
for
projects
outside
the
erdle,
this
seems
a
significant
oversight
that
will
only
exacerbate
the
County's
chronic
housing
shortage.
A
major
theme
of
this
plan
is
vibrant
communities
and
ensuring
all
residents
have
access
to
high
quality
and
accessible
health
care,
and
the
plan
cites
that
Baltimore
County
only
has
8.4
years
of
possible
development
under
the
current
zoning
regime
and
calls
for
further
zoning
restrictions.
P
This
implies
the
county,
expects
to
be
fully
built
out
and
made
Italian
shortage
in
that
period,
which
is
an
unrealistic
expectation
under
the
current
rules
and
even
more
so
under
the
new
rules
proposed
in
master
plan
2030.,
we
recommend
that
a
worker
be
established
in
order
to
improve
the
plan
with
industry
and
Community
experts
to
recommend
changes
to
the
plan
and
meet
County
goals.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Q
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
okay,
I'm
trying
to
start
video,
but
it
doesn't
want
to
do
it
at
any
rate,
I'd
like
to
commend
the
planning
department
staff
for
a
huge
effort.
Baltimore
county
is
a
very
large
jurisdiction
and
has
a
long
history
of
development
which
is
challenging.
They
include
many
things
that
we're
grateful
for
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
protect
the
Ertel,
protect
agricultural
resources,
rural
Watershed
properties
and
directing
growth
to
retrofit
and
Redevelopment.
Q
It's
difficult,
it's
much
harder
to
do
Redevelopment
than
it
is
to
do
Greenfield
development,
so
I
understand
the
mbia's
concerned
that
they're
going
to
have
to
shift
strategies.
However,
it
is
the
right
way
to
go
in
this
direction.
Another
point
I'd
like
to
make
that's
a
strong
point.
The
master
plan
is
that
it
talks
a
lot
about
environmental
Futures,
but
they're
put
in
the
last
section.
Q
The
unfortunate
part
is
that
the
implementation
strategies
and
priorities
are
not
part
of
what
you're
looking
at
right
now
and
I.
Think
that's
a
real
challenge,
mostly
because
the
mapping
that
was
done,
that
which
is
very
extensive
about
retrofit
opportunities,
is
extensive.
It
affects
many
many
areas
and
I
I
think
that
it's
important
that
citizens
understand
when
Redford
is
likely
to
be
targeted.
Their
neighborhoods
I
want
to
use
my
remaining
time
to
raise
a
major
caution
related
to
this
that
could
disrupt
master
plan
adoption,
let
alone
implementation.
Q
My
Luther,
my
neighborhood
is
Lutherville
and
we're
in
the
midst
of
a
gigantic
controversy
about
a
proposal
to
redevelop
an
old
unsuccessful
property.
Next
to
the
Lutherville
Light
Rail
station.
It
should
be
a
no-brainer
it's
right
next
to
Lutherville
Light
Rail.
It
should
be
redeveloped
as
a
mixed-use
transit-oriented
development.
However,
there
are
signs
in
the
neighborhood
that
have
popped
up
to
say
no
Apartments.
Okay,
no
compromise.
A
R
I'm
here
so
my
name
is
Michael.
Cepanic
I
live
in
District
3
in
Cockeysville
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
effort
put
into
the
draft
master
plan
overall.
I
think
it
is
very
well
done,
and
I
have
two
points
to
make
so
point
one
I
very
much
agree
with
many
of
the
ideals
presented
in
the
plan,
adding
this
missing
middle
housing
types
and
making
the
built
environment
less
hostile
to
pedestrians
and
encouraging
mixed
use
and
mixed
income
development.
They're.
R
The
retrofit
concept
needs
to
be
bolstered
with
widespread
allowances
for
a
gentle
and
gradual,
buy
right,
densification
throughout
the
erdle
and
B
establishing
commercial
businesses
and
storefronts
throughout
residential
neighborhoods,
whether
they
be
connected
or
existing.
So
point
two
is
whether
this
czmp
happens
every
10
years,
four
years
or
even
every
year.
It
only
changes
the
zoning
classification
assigned
to
individual
Parcels.
In
contrast
to
that,
what
we
really
need
is
every
10
years,
a
comprehensive
zoning
code
revision
process.
The
County
zoning
code
is
overly
complex,
onerous
to
understand
it
should
be
completely
revised
and
simplified.
R
S
Hello,
my
name
is
Rob
all
Miller
and
I
am
a
Baltimore,
County
resident
and
local
real
estate
professional.
The
proposed
master
plan
acknowledges
that
the
county
was
quickly
becoming
fully
built
out
inside
the
ertle.
This
has
already
led
to
skyrocketing
rocketing
housing
costs
and,
more
recently,
the
decline
in
County
population
as
growth
is
pushed
to
surrounding
areas.
The
plan
proposes
that
future
growth
in
the
county
must
come
from
retrofitting
or
Redevelopment.
S
When
a
plan
identifies
the
area's
theoretically
best
suited
for
redevelopment,
the
plan
hasn't
studied
these
areas
to
determine
if
they
have
the
infrastructure,
land,
availability
or
Community
Support
to
accommodate
Redevelopment
and
increase
density.
This
is
proposed
to
be
done
after
the
plan
is
passed
with
small
area
plans.
My
fear
is
that,
during
the
lack
of
infrastructure,
limited
smoke
capacity
in
other
and
Community
opposition,
these
retrofitting
areas
will
be
unable
or
unable
to
accept
growth.
S
This
would
lead
the
county
with
virtually
no
opportunities
for
future
housing
or
economic
growth
over
the
next
10
years,
and
result
in
a
further
decline
of
housing,
affordability,
population
loss
and
economic
and
less
economic
opportunities
for
residents.
They
applaud
the
plan
for
its
goals
of
providing
affordable
housing,
missing
middle
housing
and
land
for
employment
needs.
However,
the
specifics
of
the
plan
provide
no
proven
strategies
to
meet
these
girls
other
than
potential
retrofitting
within
very
limited
areas.
S
I
believe
a
proposed
NASA
plan
requires
fertile
thought
and
consideration
of
the
land
challenges
facing
our
accounting
so
that
it
can
properly
plan
to
address
our
County's
many
future
needs.
Additionally,
the
plan
should
be
revised
to
incentivize
retrofitting
within
the
core
retrofitting
areas,
while
also
making
clear
that
development
outside
of
these
areas
is
not
prohibited
or
in
conflict
with
the
master
plan.
Lastly,.
S
To
state
that
our
fully
agree
with
all
the
concerns
raised
by
mbia
in
its
letter
to
the
planning
board
regarding
the
proposed
plan,
I
encourage
you
to
seriously
consider
the
latter,
as
it
thoughtfully
outlines
major
concerns
with
a
proposed
plan
and
its
potential
long-term
negative
economic
effects
on
the
county.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
C
Okay,
thank
you
good
afternoon.
Thank
you,
everybody.
For
your
time
my
name
is
Adam
rosenblatt
I'm,
an
attorney
at
Venable
law
firm,
and
some
of
you
know
that
before
joining
this
firm
I
worked
for
eight
years
for
the
Baltimore
County
government,
as
an
assistant,
County
attorney
and
as
an
assistant
to
the
former
director
of
Pai
and
I,
helped
draft
and
Implement
a
lot
of
the
policy
for
that
department
and
I.
Take
the
Land
Development
process
in
Baltimore
County
very
seriously.
C
I
have
a
deep
care
and
appreciation
for
this
process
and
through
working
on
master
plan
2020
and
seeing
that
plan
in
action,
I've
seen
a
lot
of
the
pros
and
cons,
positives
and
negatives
of
that
plan,
so
very
invested
in
this
process.
You
will
hear
from
some
of
my
colleagues
about
the
specific
issues
that
we
see
with
master
plan
2030,
but
I
want
to
focus
my
remaining
time
on
the
process
by
which
this
plan
made
its
way
to
the
board
and,
with
all
due
respect,
there
has
not
been
sufficient
public
input
from
the
people.
C
C
It's
troubling
to
see
that
the
planning
board
meetings
were
set
where
the
final
version
of
the
plan
was
to
be
presented
and
voted
on.
That
was
already
set
by
the
time
that
the
public
was
given
a
draft
of
the
plan
and
it
gives
the
stakeholders
the
impression
that
the
county
is
collecting
comments
for
the
sake
of
checking
a
box
and
will
not
give
any
meaningful
consideration
to
them.
C
Instead,
we
have
government
employees
and
I
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
the
people
from
the
planning
department
that
are
here
tonight
have
worked
with
them
for
many
years,
but
we
have
a
number
of
very
new
to
government
County
employees
that
are
making
decisions
and
comments
on
this
plan
that
feel
often
arbitrary
and
yet
will
control
the
Land
Development
process
for
the
next
decade,
or
so
it's
our
suggestion
for
the
reasons
you'll
hear
that
the
board
delay
its
Vote
or
send
this
plan
back
to
the
department
for
further
revisions.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
D
You
so
much
good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Chuck
Connor.
I
too,
am
an
attorney
at
Venable,
Law
Firm,
and
my
main
comment
this
evening
is
that
the
story
map
format
that
we've
been
presented
with
is
unworkable
in
the
PDF
form.
The
master
plan
2030
is
134
plus
Pages.
This
PDF,
however,
is
not
reflective
of
the
over
5
000
Pages
contained
in
the
online
story.
Map
format,
which
is
proposed
to
be
the
final
version
of
the
plan.
D
D
That
is
both
easy
to
review
and
cite
further
earlier
this
week
during
normal
business
hours,
both
the
story,
map
format
and
the
PDFs
failed
to
load
and
were
unavailable.
This
is
not
only
problematic
compared
with
a
published
document
that
you
know
is
going
to
be
changed
without
notice
or
suddenly
become
unavailable
so
again
both
for
consistency
and
ability
to
cite
moving
forward.
We
really
do
believe
that
this
plan
should
not
be
in
the
story,
map
format,
but
should
be
in
something
that
is
more
concrete.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
T
Okay,
here's
my
video
isn't
working
my
apologies.
My
name
is
Noreen
badley
and
I
work
at
bannable
I'm
speaking
today,
to
share
how
there
appear
to
be
substantial
issues
with
the
data
and
methodology
application
in
the
place
types
map,
I
have
a
background
in
data
analytics
and
GIS
and
I've
spent
hundreds
of
hours
analyzing.
The
data
that
was
used
to
create
the
draft
master
plan
I
have
probably
cited
this
plan
more
than
anyone
else.
T
T
Examples
of
this
include
the
apparent
use
of
both
current
and
outdated
data,
including
2010
census
data,
the
deletion
of
certain
data
within
a
set
without
explanation
and
the
selective
use
of
specific
versus
General
data,
depending
on
the
circumstance
also,
the
student
methodology
does
not
appear
to
be
consistently
applied
and
applying
the
methodology.
Some
areas
that
received
a
high
retrofit
score,
meaning
they
should
be
slated
for
high
density,
mixed
use,
development
and
categorized
as
nodes
are
deleted
from
the
map
without
explanation
and
become
established,
neighborhoods
a
more
static,
lower
intensity
category.
T
Given
this,
it
is
concerning
that
this
tool
could
be
used
to
limit
potential
limit
development
potential
When,
comparing
the
place
types
map
to
the
equivalent
maps
in
the
2020
master
plan,
the
amount
of
area
inside
the
erdel
proposed
to
be
labeled
as
established
neighborhood.
The
most
restrictive
category
is
nearly
double
the
hurdle
has
a
clear
purpose
inside
of
it,
development
is
permitted
and
should
not
be
restricted
by
a
proposed
mapping
methodology
which
can
be
imperfect.
T
Given
that
the
place
types
map
is
the
backbone
of
the
master
plan
2030,
we
would
request
and
welcome
the
opportunity
to
discuss
these
current
concerns
in
Greater
detail
with
interested
members
of
the
planning
board,
as
well
as
with
the
planning
staff,
so
that
we
can
all
be
certain
of
the
quality
and
reliability
of
the
data
and
methods
upon
which
these
maps
have
been
created.
Thank
you.
Thank.
U
You
good
evening,
members
of
the
planning
board,
my
name
is
David
carceski
I'm,
a
land
use
attorney
with
Venable
LLP,
the
master
plan
2030
encourages
Redevelopment
in
certain
areas,
but
calls
for
changes
to
zoning
and
development
process
that
would
stunt
growth
and
Redevelopment.
The
planning
knowledge
is
that,
under
current
zoning,
the
county
has
limited
raw
end
available
for
redevelopment,
yet
calls
for
restriction
on
rezoning
and
limitation
on
development,
both
of
which
are
inconsistent
with
the
need.
U
U
It
would
limit
the
County's
ability
to
be
flexible
and
to
adapt
to
changes
in
the
market
and
would
have
a
crippling
effect
on
the
County's
ability
to
promote
growth
throughout
the
duration
of
this
plan
and
doing
so
is
completely
inconsistent
with
other
stated
goals
of
the
plan,
including
having
a
resilient
economy,
encouraging
commercial
and
Industrial
Redevelopment
and
investment
allowing
for
higher
density
walkable
mixed-use
developments.
We
cannot
expect
investment
to
be
made
when
the
tools
necessary
to
facilitate
it
are
taken
away.
U
The
timing
of
this
ucmp
process
must
be
left
at
four
years
for
each
cycle,
and
the
Pud
process
should
be
left
intact.
Allegations
that
the
Pud
process
is
not
transparent
is
untrue.
The
duration
of
the
process
for
a
PUD
and
the
legal
requirement
to
engage
the
community
at
all
stages
on
multiple
occasions
ensures
that
the
community
has
a
meaningful
seat
at
the
table
throughout
the
entire
PUD
process.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
E
You
good
evening,
members
of
the
planning
board,
I'm
Christopher
Mudd
I'm,
an
attorney
at
Venable.
Sometimes
it's
lost
on
planners
and
politicians
that
the
master
plan
is
utilized
under
the
law
to
set
the
boundaries
for
Land
Development.
Some
want
to
say
that
the
document
is
just
a
guide,
but
the
law
requires
that
land
use
decisions
must
comply
with
the
plan.
E
To
that
end,
any
specific
reference
to
limitations
on
new
development
or
any
specific
language
that
appears
to
direct
development
to
a
particular
area
to
the
exclusion
of
others
must
be
removed.
Instead,
Redevelopment
in
the
selected
area
should
be
encouraged
through
prioritization
and
or
incentives
and
clear
language
should
be
added
and
repeated
throughout
the
plan
that
growth
and
development
may
occur
anywhere
within
the
hurdle
and
in
certain
areas
outside
of
the
ertle,
where
zoning
would
permit
it.
E
Similarly,
language
should
be
added
to
the
plan
to
repeatedly
confirm
that
the
place
types
map
is
aspirational
and
may
not
be
used
to
limit
or
to
restrict
uses
and
or
development
that
is
otherwise
consistent
with
zoning
and
with
other
applicable
regulations.
The
transect
maps
from
Master
Plan
2020
have
been
repeatedly
utilized
by
opponents
of
good
projects
and
projects
supported
by
the
department
of
planning
to
suggest
that
a
proposed
development
that
did
not
fit
squarely
within
the
limited
definition
of
a
particular
transfect
should
not
be
permitted.
Thank.
A
A
F
Sorry
about
that,
that's
okay,
good
evening,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I'm
going
to
speak
because
I'm
concerned
about
the
draft
plan
and
the
fact
that
it
seems
to
cater
to
an
anti-development
special
interest
group.
The
highlighted
feedback,
for
instance,
seems
to
lead
towards
an
anti-development
bias.
One
particular
quote
that
jumped
out
at
me
when
I
read,
it
is
the
one
accusing
the
Council
of
quote
playing
with
the
regulations
to
allow
for
development.
It
seems
strange
to
have
included
such
a
disrespectful
quote.
F
I
understand
that
it's
now
proposed
to
be
removed,
but
it
was
in
there
in
the
first
place
certain
action
items
leaned
heavily
in
favor
of
these
special
interests
as
well.
One
example
is
the
one-off
discussion
of
the
Middle
River
Redevelopment
area
in
the
vision
framework
section
this
discussion,
advances
or
advocates
for
a
small
area
plan.
No
other
area
of
the
county
is
specifically
called
out
other
than
the
Middle
River
area.
I
believe
this
discussion
was
added
at
the
request
of
the
local
Civic
group.
F
I
also
note
that
this
area
is
inconsistent
with
the
draft
small
area
plan
boundary
that
Amy
displayed
earlier
in
the
growth
format
section
the
growth
framework
section,
the
plan
mentions
of
the
LaFarge
foreign.
This
project
is
one
of
only
two
mentions
in
the
plan:
the
plan,
the
other
being
trade
Point
Atlanta.
You.
F
The
LaFarge
Quarry
discussion
was
also
added
the
request
of
the
same
Little
River
Civic
group,
who
is
actively
opposing
a
proposed
development
on
the
LaFarge
property.
A
representative
of
that
group
actually
suggested
to
me
that
language
will
be
added
to
the
plan
before
adoption
requiring
additional
community
outreach
for
the
large
property
before
any
development
could
be
proposed,
using
the
master
plan
to
delay
or
stop
a
development
at
the
request
of
a
specific
group
is
not
appropriate.
The
master
plan
should
take
a
more
balanced
and
unbiased
approach.
Thank
you
for.
A
F
I
You,
my
name
is
David
Thaller
and
I
am
a
principal
and
managing
member
of
DS.
They
were
and
Associates
a
civil
engineering
and
land
use
firm
that
has
been
working
in
the
county
for
nearly
50
years.
I'm
very
concerned
about
some
elements
of
the
proposed
master
plan.
It
reminds
me
of
generals
who
are
preparing
to
fight
the
last
war
instead
of
the
next
I
also
believe
it
is
founded
on
a
false
premise.
In
this
week's
a
Sun
paper,
the
county
executive
is
speaking
about
the
master
plan
said
the
county
is
quote
growing
rapidly.
Unquote.
I
It
is
not
based
on
days
of
from
Zonda
the
former
Metro
study
who
compiles
such
things.
In
2022,
there
were
a
total
of
335
new
housing
permits
issued
in
Baltimore
County,
294
single-family
and
townhouse,
and
41
multi
of
family
Prince,
George's
County
only
slightly
larger
than
Baltimore
County,
on
the
other
hand,
issued
a
total
of
5928
permits
in
2022
compared
with
Baltimore
County's
335..
The
10-year
average
for
permits
issued
in
Baltimore
county
is
1241,
and
in
2015
there
were
49
active
for
sale
communities
in
the
county.
Now
there
are
but
19.
I
the
county
has
a
population
of
just
about
850
000,
and
this
means
there
is
approximately
one
new
housing
permit
for
every
2500
people.
This
is
way
too
low
and
will
seriously
affect
the
health
of
the
county,
if
not
reversed.
If
you
don't
add
to
the
housing
Supply,
the
County's
workers
and
young
people
will
leave
having
been
priced
out.
The
urban
rural
demarcation
line,
the
Ertl
was
set
up
to
protect
rural
areas,
but
to
provide
for
development
inside
the
Ertel
I
think
the
master
plan
needs
to
be
revised
to
more
encourage
that
inside
the
erdal
development.
V
Thank
you,
madam
chairman.
Members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Jason
vittori
I'm,
an
attorney
with
Smith,
gilday
and
Schmidt
and
I
do
appreciate
all
the
work
that
went
into
this
document.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
good
aspects
to
it
and
it
can
be
built
upon.
But
the
bottom
line
is
the
present
format
of
the
master
plan.
V
In
our
case,
the
master
plan
need
only
be
revised
or
amended
every
10
years,
if
it's
necessary
and
that's
in
land
use
articles
3-301
and
1-416
someone
out
of
order,
I'm
just
going
to
point
out
that
in
2013,
the
house
bill
409
increased
review
period
for
comprehensive
plans
to
10
years
from
six
years.
So
that's
a
recent
addition
of
coming
up
with
this
master
plan.
V
The
applicable
sections
provide
that
the
Planning
Commission,
or,
in
our
case
the
board,
shall
review
the
comprehensive
plan
and,
if
necessary,
revise
or
amend
the
conference
of
plan
to
include
certain
elements
laid
out
in
section
1-406
of
the
land
use
article
envisions
in
section
121
of
land
use
article.
The
emphasis
here
is
on,
if
necessary,
into
electric
set
whether
the
plan
needs
to
be
completely
written
or
simply
revised
or
amended.
V
The
plan
needs
to
include
these
elements
and
Visions
which
it
presently
does
not,
and
the
strap
master
plan
needs
to
be
written
because
it
does
not
include
the
required
visions
and
elements
for
a
comprehensive
plan.
The
recently
enacted
town
of
Bel-Air
comprehensive
plan,
which
is
easily
fine.
If
you
Google
it,
should
serve
as
a
model
of
sorts
regarding
what
should
be
included.
Baltimore
County's
master
plan
2030.
V
and
those
land
use
elements
are
development,
regulations,
element,
there's
really
no
mention
of
changing
regulation,
sensitive
areas,
element,
Transportation
element
and
Water
Resources
element
and
I,
don't
see
any
direct
calling
out
and
if
you
look
at
that
other
plan
in
Bel,
Air
you'll
see
where
it's
really
stated
pretty.
Obviously
thank.
W
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Eric
Rocco
and
I'm.
The
vice
president
of
the
greater
Timonium
Community
Council,
due
to
time
limitations
I
urge
the
board
to
read
my
full
letter,
which
further
explains
the
rationale
Behind.
These
comments,
I,
could
not
disagree
more
with
the
master
plan's
proposals
for
the
Lutherville
Timonium
area.
W
Transit
usage
in
Baltimore
County,
and
for
that
matter
the
whole
nation
is
down
and
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
coming
back
in
the
way
that
existed
prior
to
covid,
and
my
letter
outlined
some
more
about
that.
The
three
retrofit
areas
prescribed
for
the
Louisville
Timonium
area
also
concern
me
because
of
their
shape
and
their
influence.
X
It
doesn't
offer
viable
solutions
to
addressing
the
challenges
the
developers
face
in
trying
to
actually
develop
in
these
areas
without
the
tools,
zoning
and
other
measures
in
place
that
support
Redevelopment
and
core
retrofit
areas,
I
believe
the
master
plan
significantly
overestimates
the
density
that
can
actually
be
achieved
further
I'm
concerned
that,
in
an
attempt
to
promote
Redevelopment
in
these
core
priority
areas,
barriers
are
being
created
to
deter
development
outside
of
these
areas
by
broadly
designating
Place
types
to
large
areas
within
the
county.
The
master
plan,
often
mischaracterizes
individual
Properties
or
sub
areas.
X
Many
in
conflict
with
its
underlining
zoning,
which
undermines
their
intended
development
potential.
This
is
something
that
must
be
addressed
if
we
have
any
hope
of
addressing
the
significant
housing
shortage
and
affordability
issue
facing
Baltimore
County
I.
Ask
that
the
planning
board
recommend
revisions
to
the
master
plan
that
acknowledge
the
land
use
constraints
of
our
County,
provide
solutions
that
address
Redevelopment
challenges
so
that
those
projects
may
be
viable
and
does
so
without
creating
unnecessary
barriers
to
economic
growth
and
development
outside
the
core
retrofit
areas.
Thank
you.
Y
Evening,
Madam
chairman
members
of
the
planning
board,
my
name
is
Pat
Keller
I'm,
president
of
the
Perry
Hall
Improvement
Association,
congratulations
to
director,
Lafferty,
deputy
director
Mante
and
staff,
and
the
planning
board
as
well
for
putting
forward
this
very
creative
and
Innovative
master
plan.
So
some
some.
O
Y
Y
Maybe
we
could
take
advantage
of
this
of
this
delay
and
use
it
to
the
County's
advantage
item.
Two:
is
the
land
Place
land
use,
Place
types
very
Innovative,
very
creative.
The
implementation
is
to
come
through
the
small
area
plans,
the
issue
that
we
have,
and
this
may
sound
contrary
to
developers
who
find
it
too
specific
communities
find
it
actually
too
General.
So
more
detail
on
this
is
really
needed
in
these
Place
types.
Y
If
we're
going
to
go
into
the
czmp
in
the
fall
and
subsequent
years,
as
well
as
for
development
review,
so
communities
developers,
people
are
going
to
need
more
specific
definitions
of
these
Place
types,
for
instance,
what
is
meant
by
low
medium
or
high
density
that
pretty
much
that's
it
for
me.
Hopefully,
you
all
have
a
great
evening
and
thank
you
very
much.
Z
Hi
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Michael
Greenspun
and
I've
been
a
developer
in
Baltimore
County
for
22
years.
The
master
plan
2030
is
an
ambitious
plan
that
has
elements
I,
support
and
issues
that
concern
me.
My
overarching
problem
is
the
master
plan.
2030
must
clearly
state
it
lays
the
framework
develops
Concepts
and
provides
guidance
for
the
implementation
of
those
Concepts,
but
until
zoning
and
development
regulations
are
legally
adjusted
as
a
result,
the
master
plan
must
not
be
a
binding
document
upon
development.
Z
This
is
because
one,
the
master
plan
is
expected
to
be
a
dynamic
document
that
is
updated
regularly,
but
how
can
development
possibly
adhere
to
a
moving
Target
Two?
The
growth
framework
lays
down
an
aspirational
plan
of
action
and
will
be
followed
by
small
area
plants
in
the
czmp.
These
future
processes
will
give
life
to
the
master
plan's
intentions
as
best
as
the
real
world
allows,
given
development
constraints
and
Community
involvement.
Z
Only
then
should
the
zoning
outcomes
be
binding
on
development.
Three,
the
vision
framework
lays
out
an
extremely
ambitious
wish
list
for
future
development,
much
of
which
may
not
come
to
fruition
for
a
while.
If
ever,
thus,
the
master
plan
development
standards
should
be
for
generalized
guidance
and
not
mandatorily
applicable
to
development
until
specifically
passed
into
law
by
the
County
Council.
Z
Lastly,
the
master
plan
2030
should
acknowledge
what
many
other
jurisdictions
have
finally
come
to
realize,
which
is
that
the
lack
of
housing
in
general
and
the
shortage
of
affordable
housing
and
reasonably
priced
market
rate
housing
in
particular
are
primarily
due
to
Decades
of
restrictive
government
housing
policy
that
placated
local
residents
in
the
short
term,
but
decimated
the
housing
Supply
balance
in
the
long
term.
No
master
plan
can
truly
claim
to
be
an
aspirational
planning
document
without
acknowledging
and
proposing
to
address
those
Supply
problems.
Z
The
master
plan
2030
does
state
that
the
need
for
missing
middle
housing
must
be
addressed,
but
little
is
actually
done
to
address
it.
Other
Concepts
being
considered
across
the
country,
including
Arlington,
Virginia
and
Montgomery
County,
to
confront
housing
shortages
such
as
allowing
missing
middle
housing
in
all
single-family
zones,
are
not
even
considered
in
this
master
plan.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
It
was
very
much
appreciate
that
I
have
one
area
of
one
of
the
Grave
concern
to
us
and
it
has
to
do
with
the
place
designations,
specifically
I'm,
dealing
with
the
place
designation
of
special
use,
which
is
applied
to
trade,
Point
Atlantic,
a
major
major
development
in
the
Eastern
Baltimore
County.
The
master
plan
places
the
LaFarge
Quarry
in
that
same
category,
which
we
believe
is
totally
inappropriate
right
now.
The
property
is
zoned
RC8,
which
is
resource
conservation.
G
As
you
know,
we're
in
and
it's
subject
to
a
100
that
was
introduced
by
an
outgoing
County
Council
representative
I
was
opposed
at
the
time
it
was
introduced.
It
was
now
in
the
process
of
facing,
revocation
by
the
current
County
Council,
the
3
million
three
million
square
feet
of
warehousing
distribution
suggested
for
that
site.
Under
the
bud
is
totally
inappropriate
for
that
area,
not
only
because
of
its
owning,
but
because
of
its
location
and
its
proximity
to
the
Ertel,
as
well
as
the
Chesapeake
Bay.

Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Kathleen
scolney
I'm,
the
current
president
of
the
greater
Patapsco
Community
Association,
which
has
been
active
since
1986..
We
represent
a
rural,
Watershed
and
environmentally
protected
area
of
19
square
miles
from
the
ertle
west
and
south
of
Randallstown,
all
the
way
to
the
Patapsco
River
North
to
Marriottsville
and
and
South
along
the
river
with
1600
households.
We
are
now
part
of
the
Patapsco
Heritage
Greenway
and
we
are
recognized
by
the
Maryland
historical
trust.
AA
We
have
an
adopted
community
plan
and
have
actively
participated
in
master
plan
processes
since
2000..
The
New
Concept
of
the
2030
master
plan,
as
Mr
Connor
pointed
out,
makes
it
a
little
difficult
to
comment
with
specificity.
However,
one
provision
that
we
actively
support
is
the
10-year
CC
amp.
Instead
of
a
resource
training
for
your
current
cycle,
the
master
plan
is
repeatedly
presented
as
aspirational,
but
we
wholeheartedly
support
and
endorse
the
three
themes
and
the
six
guiding
principles
that
are
set
forth
but
absent
is
and
the
profound
challenges
how
this
aspiration
becomes
a
reality.
AA
We
would
like
to
urge
the
board
and
I'm
running
out
of
time
here
to
look
to
article
32,
Title,
II,
Section
203
of
the
county
code
and
include
in
the
vision
framework
or
the
growth
framework.
The
specific
requirements
in
particular
that
the
six
guiding
principles
become
requirements
that
must
be
satisfied
in
all
the
processes
that
have
to
do
with
all
of
the
activities
covered
by
the
master
plan
and,
in
particular
the
2024
CCM.
Petitions
must
say
how
they
satisfy
by
all
those
principles.
A

The
problem
that
we
would
run
into
in
this
situation
is
that
we
will
have
to
deal
with
what
the
master
plan
document
shows
in
any
2024
zoning
issue
that
that
we
would
wish
to
raise,
but
not
have
the
opportunity
time
wise
to
address
the
small
area
plan
by
that
point
in
time.
Thank
you
very
much.
That's
all
I've
got
other
than
to
make
the
comment
that
I
agree
with
earlier
comments
about
the
PDF
report,
format
that
would
make
this
document
much
easier
to
read
than
the
way
it's
layered
online
right
now.
Thank
you.
