Description

Repeal of Ordinance 87-1040 – Planned Unit Development Sherwood Ford, Inc. – 5104 York Road FOR the purpose of repealing Ordinance 87-1040, which designated certain property located at and around 5104 York Road a Planned Unit Development known as Sherwood Ford, Inc.; and providing for a special effective date.

Summary

Baltimore City Council Bill 26-0208 would repeal Ordinance 87-1040, which established the Sherwood Ford Planned Unit Development (PUD) for property around 5104 York Road in North Baltimore. Introduced at Loyola University Maryland’s request, the bill concerns a roughly 3.6-acre site now owned by Loyola and used for public safety, parking, transportation, and a community hub. The former dealership no longer operates, and the Planning Commission found that the PUD’s projects were completed and its special zoning flexibility is no longer needed because current C-2 zoning permits varied commercial uses. Repeal would take effect upon enactment; future development would follow underlying zoning and standard approvals. Agencies found no legal impediment, and the Planning Commission recommended approval.
