Last week Montgomery County enacted a new zoning code which went into effect on Thursday (10/30/14).  Maryland Horse Council President, Jane Seigler, attended a ceremony at MNCPPC on Thursday morning where they buried the old code and provided this photo (full info is after the photo)



New Zoning Code and Zoning Map are In Effect
The digital version of the new zoning code is now hosted with the rest of the County code on the American Legal Publishing website.  Find the zoning code (Chapter 59) in the Table of Contents list on the left-hand panel of the page.  Click on the plus symbol and select an Article. 

The digital zoning map is available through the new Digital Zoning Finder tool.  The tool displays zoning data and a variety of other information about each property in the County.  Watch a video that introduces the Digital Zoning Finder. 

The zoning code rewrite project is now complete and messages will no longer be sent out to this listserv. Consider subscribing to the weekly InfoShare e-newsletter  to receive updates from Montgomery County Parks and Planning.

Official printed copies of the new zoning code will be available for purchase from American Legal Publishing. To contact American Legal, email customerservice@amlegal.com

Old Zoning Code and Zoning Map  

A digital version of the old zoning code (as it existed on October 29, 2014) will be available on the American Legal Publishing website.  Click here and then click on the blue tab that says "View the 2004 Zoning Code".

The digital map that displays the zoning in effect on October 29, 2014 and District Map Amendment G-956 will continue to be available on the Planning Department website.         


Background
 
Planners have rewritten the zoning code and updated the zoning map to modernize antiquated, redundant zoning regulations, and to create new tools that will help achieve goals in community plans. The new zoning code and zoning map were adopted by County Council earlier this year with an effective date of October 30, 2014.
