Legislative and Regulatory Issues Impacting the counties in the Upper Chesapeake
CECIL COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
July 2023
Harford County:
Bill 23-005 Moratorium-Warehouse
The bill creates a 90-day moratorium on the issuance of any approvals or permits for the development of any warehousing and wholesaling, processing, distribution and local delivery facilities on property zoned Village Business District - VB, General Business District - B3, Commercial Industrial District - CI, Light Industrial District - LI and General Industrial District - GI in Harford County. The stated purpose of the bill is for the county to study and reconsider zoning and development regulations with respect to the above facilities. The bill was amended in council to provide that the moratorium will not apply to projects that have already acquired a vested right to completing the project by completing significant construction. The moratorium will also not apply to projects where warehousing is a tertiary function of the project. MBIA advocated against this legislation.
March 2023
