Councilman David Marks Supports Open Space Zoning Along Slater Avenue

Baltimore County Councilman David Marks will recommend restricting development along 2.6 acres between Slater Avenue and Mispillion Road in the densely-populated area of southeastern Perry Hall.

The land, currently used as a common area, is presently zoned for single-family homes or townhouses. Neighborhood Commons zoning will be recommended for this property, blocking any development whatsoever in case it is ever sold by Baltimore County.

"It is these smaller pieces of green space that, in many communities, serve as places where families have picnics and kids enjoy the outdoors. They should not have a development potential," Councilman Marks commented.

Councilman Marks is reviewing the development potential of thousands of acres of land in his district in an effort to lighten school overcrowding and preserve green space.
