Committee recommends rezoning for 3009 Green Mount Ave to support Baltimore Italian Center project
Summary
The committee adopted planning commission findings and recommended Council Bill 25136 favorable, clearing the way for a parcel on Green Mount Avenue to be rezoned from R6 to C2 so the Baltimore Italian Center can convert a parish house for community and commercial-kitchen uses.
Councilwoman Ramos presented Council Bill 25136 on March 26 seeking to rezone a parcel at 3009 Green Mount Avenue from R6 to C2 so the Baltimore Italian Center can renovate a parish house into community uses including cooking classes, event space and a commercial kitchen.
Ramos said the project would support neighborhood revitalization and follow a planning commission recommendation. Planning (Eric Tisser), the Law Department (Desire Lucky), BMZA (Justin Williams), DHCD (Jason Wright) and DOT (Christian McNeil) reported in support or without objection; the planning commission's findings were moved for adoption under the "change in neighborhood" standard. The committee adopted the planning commission findings by voice vote and recommended the bill favorable to the full City Council.
Questions focused on parking and compatibility with the general land-use map; the sponsor said on-site and on-street parking are available and that the rezoning aligns with corridor reinvestment goals.
Outcome: The committee recommended CB 25136 favorable; no recorded roll-call vote was provided in the transcript.
