Title: 4:30 - 6:00 pm: Overview of our Comprehensive Rezoning
Summary
The "Zoning Unlocked" initiative aims to simplify and modernize Annapolis' zoning regulations, which currently encompass 32 districts. This legislation seeks to create a more intuitive zoning code that aligns with the city's comprehensive plan focused on housing access, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. Key components include the establishment of an Open Space Zoning District to protect parks and conservation areas, as well as a Zoning Consolidation effort to reduce and merge existing districts for clarity and efficiency. These changes will impact developers, residents, and businesses by streamlining the approval process for new projects, ultimately fostering a thriving community. Public participation is encouraged through workshops and meetings scheduled throughout 2026.
