Zoning Text Amendment
ZTA #21-163 (Bill #2021-12) Revising Mixed Use (MX) Zone Development Standards in the Federal Opportunity Zone.
The Charles County Commissioners will hold a Virtual Public Hearing on Wednesday, January 12, 2022, at 6:00 p.m., to consider the proposed Zoning Text Amendment filed by Soltesz, Inc. on behalf of Mark Vogel Companies, Inc., in accordance with the codified procedural requirements of §297-447 of the Charles County Zoning Ordinance.
Zoning Text Amendment, ZTA #21-163, proposes to correct discrepancies regarding the permissible number of stories for multi-family uses, such as garden, mid-rise, and high-rise apartments, that currently exist between the base zoning figures and definitions, modify the required percentage mix of certain land uses, and refine applicable highway corridor and rear yard setbacks for consistency with comparable zoning designations, such as those within the Waldorf Urban Redevelopment Corridor. The application would amend Article VII and Article X of the Charles County Zoning Ordinance.
