Votes at a glance: Council approves multiple zoning and planning measures on Oct. 27
Summary
Several zoning and planning bills were approved on third reading Oct. 27, including rules for small-box retail, a transfer of zoning-administrator duties to the planning department, bulk-and-yard amendments, an elimination of off-street parking requirements, and a planned-unit development amendment for the Under Armour headquarters site.
The Baltimore City Council approved the following items on Oct. 27 (third reader actions and outcomes as announced by the clerk):
- City Council Bill 25-0040 (zoning, uses, retail, small box establishment): approved on third reading. - City Council Bill 25-0063 (zoning administrator transfer to Department of Planning): approved on third reading. - City Council Bill 25-0064 (zoning, bulk and yard requirements, amendments): approved on third reading (several members recorded 'no'). - City Council Bill 25-0065 (zoning, eliminating off-street parking requirements): approved on third reading after extended debate (recorded 'no' votes noted). - City Council Bill 25-0082 (planned unit development amendment, Under Armour headquarters): approved on third reader. - City Council Bill 25-0062 (building code, single exit from residential occupancy): after the bill was returned from the mayor's desk, council substituted the corrected third-reader copy during a special meeting and approved the bill.
Where the clerk recorded votes or noted opposition, the meeting transcript notes the specific members who cast 'no' votes on particular items; in other cases the clerk announced that the bill "is approved" without a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript.
Provenance: Third-reader readings and approvals are recorded across the meeting starting at 00:19:42 and the special-meeting substituted reading and approval of 25-0062 at 00:34:25.
