2024 COMPREHENSIVE ZONING MAP PROCESS
The 2024 Comprehensive Zoning Map Process (CZMP) will begin on September 1 and will conclude in September of 2024. The CZMP takes place every four years on an exact schedule specified in the County Code. Any citizen may request a zoning change on any property in the County. The CZMP covers a period of approximately 12 months and results in zoning decisions that are reflected in a final Log of Issues, with the County Council enacting legislation for each issue whether to retain the existing zoning or to enact a different zone(s) or district(s). Generally, each issue is a single property, but an issue may cover many adjoining properties and might even cover many hundreds of acres. The zoning on all properties which were not issues is re-enacted without change.

SEWER PROJECT PERRY HALL MANOR
The Department of Public Works and Transportation is connecting 104 homes in the Perry Hall Manor area in a long-term project to provide sewer service. In September, residents saw topographical and environmental surveyors gathering information for the design phase. The surveyor work has been completed for the moment, though more field work is anticipated. Construction is expected to begin within two years and will take from one to one-and-a-half years to complete.

SEWER RELINING PROJECT IN CARNEY, PERRY HALL AND TOWSON
The Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPWT) began an extensive sewer relining project in Carney, Perry Hall and Towson in May 2022. It’s 100 percent complete. More than 12 miles of sanitary sewer pipe has been relined, costing about $5.8 million.

SEWER RELINING PROJECT BOWLEY’S QUARTERS, CARROLL ISLAND AND WHITE MARSH (BENGIES/BIRD RIVER)

RED HOUSE RUN STRUCTURAL SEWER REHABILITATION
Baltimore County has started a major sewer rehabilitation project consisting of almost 15 miles of sewer line in the Overlea and Rosedale areas. Work on the $4.7 million project began in June 2022 and is expected to take about a year and a half to complete. It's approximately 35 percent toward completion and should be finished by the end of this year. The Red House Run Structural Sewer Rehabilitation project is part of the County's Consent Decree—the County’s agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to improve the entire sanitary system and eliminate sanitary sewer overflows.
