Baltimore council advances rezoning and pre‑annexation measures, tables Sleepy Hollow plat
Summary
At the Feb. 23 meeting the Village of Baltimore Council moved Ordinances 2026-04 (rezoning two parcels) and 2026-05 (pre-annexation with Cherry Lane North LLC) to second reading, cleared Liberty Ridge for a third reading, and tabled Ordinance 2026-01 (Sleepy Hollow final plat) until property closing.
The Village of Baltimore Council advanced several land-use items at its Feb. 23 meeting while tabling one final-plat action.
Sponsor Rick Foreman presented Ordinance 2026-04, proposing to rezone 1 Baltimore–Somerset Road (parcel no. 0240257620, 4.773 acres) and 5 Baltimore–Somerset Road (parcel no. 0240257700, 2.955 acres) to Suburban Single-Family Residential District (R-2). Foreman said the property is the Roger Woods property and the ordinance can proceed to a second reading.
Foreman also introduced Ordinance 2026-05, approving a pre-annexation agreement with Cherry Lane North LLC (the Lohne farm). Foreman told council that the pre-annexation would allow the property to receive municipal services; the ordinance includes emergency language intended to make it effective immediately after third reading if adopted. Both measures were presented on first reading and cleared to advance.
Separately, Ordinance 2026-03 (final plat approval for Liberty Ridge, Section 1), sponsored by Brandy McCreery, was presented on second reading and the mayor said it can proceed to a third reading. Council then considered Ordinance 2026-01, an ordinance to vacate the final plat for Sleepy Hollow (a 55.44-acre parcel, parcel no. 0240251400). Foreman moved and James Carroll seconded to table Ordinance 2026-01 until the new owners close on the property; that motion passed 5-0.
The minutes list parcel numbers and acreage for the rezoning and plat items but do not contain the ordinances’ full texts, map exhibits, or any public testimony on the land-use items. Council did not vote to adopt the rezoning or pre-annexation at this meeting; those items advance through the reading process.
