The Anne Arundel County planning department released yesterday a comprehensive series of proposed revisions to the county zoning code that would condense the code and standardize definitions, planning officials said.
Officials expect to submit a similarly comprehensive revision of county subdivision rules in the spring. The zoning code was last fully revised in 1971.
"It is my hope that this new legislation will make the zoning process more clear to the citizens and development community," said County Executive Janet S. Owens in a statement. "A concise, accurate code is an essential tool in land use management and streamlining our service to the public."
