On Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2024, the Calvert County Planning Commission voted to extend the public comment period for the proposed update to the Calvert County Zoning Ordinance. The record remains open until 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 20, 2024.
The Calvert County Zoning Ordinance Update began in 2021 as part of a comprehensive review of the county’s growth and development policies. The update aims to modernize zoning rules and maps to better align with current planning goals and community needs. Throughout this process, several public input opportunities have been offered, including public workshops, online surveys and open comment periods. Most recently, public review of the second draft was available from Aug. 30, 2024, to Sep. 27, 2024.
The Zoning Ordinance Update document with highlighted changes, meeting schedule, draft articles, map and supplemental materials are available online at www.calvertcountymd.gov/ZoningOrdinanceUpdate. Comments can be submitted to ZOupdate@calvertcountymd.gov or by mail to Attn: ZO Update, 205 Main Street, Prince Frederick, MD 20678.
