Baltimore County's 2008 Comprehensive Zoning Map Process (CZMP)
"The CZMP takes place every four years on a schedule specified in the County Code.  Any citizen or organization may request a zoning change on any property in the County.  The permitted use for a property is determined by its zoning classification.  Changing the zoning classification on a property may change the permitted uses and the intensity of those uses.  The potential for land use changes makes it important to be an active participant in the 2008 CZMP."
