Zoning Ordinance

Camiros is working with the City of Baltimore to update the City’s Zoning Code to implement the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Currently under review by Council, the goals of the Code update are to properly manage the future growth of the City, from preserving its historic character and residential neighborhoods to facilitating redevelopment of commercial areas to protecting key industrial and waterfront sites. The Zoning Code is focused on a number of areas including sustainability, design and form, predictability and consistency in Code application, public health, and large-scale development concepts such as transit-oriented development and campus districts. This includes form-based controls to preserve neighborhood character, such as the City’s rowhouses, creation of a new Downtown district that reflects the form and intensity of the character areas, crafted through a charrette process, protection of and continued reinvestment in the City’s waterfront, including industrial port facilities, waterfront recreation, public access permissions, and waterfront promenade and viewshed protections, and new regulations for renewable energy technologies, including solar, wind, and geothermal at the private, community, and energy provider levels.
