You can view the adopted changes here.
By the numbers:
We downzoned 417 acres and upzoned 18 acres in the Fifth District. That means that 96 percent of the land that changed during the rezoning process had its development potential lowered.
About 174 acres received the newly-created open space zoning designation. This means that no development can occur on this property. No other district had as much land designated as open space.
More land was downzoned in Towson, Loch Raven, and the Cromwell Valley than during any previous rezoning cycle. In Perry Hall, where development pressures are the greatest, we downzoned 263 acres, including much of the environmentally-sensitive area southwest of Perry Hall High School.
I believe these changes will lighten the impact of future development from Towson to Perry Hall, which will lessen the strain on our schools and roads.
