Councilman Marks: Developer Drops Plans for Child Care Center
The center was proposed on Joppa Road, at land that was downzoned in 2016 to lighten development.

I have just been informed that the developer of the proposed day care center at Joppa Road and Kahl Avenue has dropped plans for the project. There will be no hearing on September 25th.
I would like to thank all those who expressed their opinion about this proposal. I agreed that this was an inappropriate location, and I have encouraged the developer to look elsewhere.
The zoning here is DR 1H, or one house per acre, which is as low as allowed for residential development. I initiated the downzoning here in 2016 to lighten any future growth at this site.
