Planning Board approves growth-tier change for 4122 Sweet Air Road
Summary
The Baltimore County Planning Board voted to amend the growth-tier designation for 4122 Sweet Air Road from Tier 4 to Tier 3 and recommended the County Council introduce a resolution to amend Master Plan 2030.
The Baltimore County Planning Board on July 16 approved a growth-tier amendment for 4122 Sweet Air Road, finding the site is not dominated by agricultural resource protection, forest lands or other conservation easements and is therefore suitable to be redesignated from growth tier 4 to growth tier 3.
Chair Scott Halukka opened the discussion by noting the item was first introduced to the board on June 4 and had a public hearing on June 18. A board member moved the motion to find the site did not meet criteria for agricultural or conservation protections and to recommend the County Council introduce a resolution to amend Master Plan 2030. The motion was seconded, followed by a roll-call vote, and carried.
Why it matters: changing a property's growth-tier designation alters the planning framework used to evaluate future development and capital improvements; the board’s recommendation sends the matter to the County Council for any formal amendment to the master plan.
The vote: the board conducted a roll-call vote and the motion carried. The board did not record additional conditions or amendments on the motion during the meeting.
Next steps: the board’s recommendation will be forwarded to the County Council for consideration of a resolution to amend Master Plan 2030; no council action was recorded at this meeting.
