Scott Grama of the Carroll County Department of Planning and Resource Management briefed the Hampstead Planning and Zoning Commission on county planning priorities on April 22, including temporary deferrals, text amendments and master-plan engagement.
Grama said the county has placed a deferral on development of data processing centers until February of next year while staff prepare zoning amendments; the pause is intended to allow zoning language to be drafted to address local concerns. He also listed other items under review, including billboards, accessory dwelling units and self-storage, and said more detail will be provided at future meetings.
Grama described master-plan work groups and said staff have been conducting outreach, including visiting Carroll Community College and meeting student government representatives. He also noted the water and sewer master plan triennial update has been pushed to 2027 and identified Ethan Strickler as the county contact who will handle the water and sewer master plan work.
Commissioners thanked Grama and had no further questions recorded in the transcript.
