PUBLIC NOTICE
Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) #21-163
Mixed Use (MX) Zoned Properties in the Federal Opportunity Zone
Notice is hereby given that the Planning Commission of Charles County, Maryland will conduct a Public Hearing on November 1, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. to consider a proposed Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA). The meeting will be held remotely via teleconference. Persons wanting more information may call 301-645-0692. Public testimony is encouraged.
ZTA #21-163 proposes to amend the development standards for the Mixed Use (MX) zone for properties that are located within the designated Federal Opportunity Zone. The amendments would correct discrepancies regarding the permissible number of stories for multi-family uses, reduce the percentage of required civic uses, as well as applicable highway corridor and rear yard setbacks for consistency with the Waldorf Urban Redevelopment Corridor. The application would amend Articles VII and X of the Charles County Zoning Ordinance.
