The Countywide Map Amendment (CMA) converts the zoning classification of all properties to the zones contained in the new Zoning Ordinance adopted October 23, 2018. This process is outlined in The Approved Guide to New Zones (http://bit.ly/ZRDM2019). The Planning Department is recommending 16 revisions to the County Zoning Map to specifically implement recommendations of the East Riverdale-Beacon Heights and Greater Cheverly Sector Plans or to correct previous split zonings.

The 2017 Approved East Riverdale-Beacon Heights Sector Plan and 2018 Approved Greater Cheverly Sector Plan were developed concurrently with, and in anticipation of, the new Zoning Ordinance. In particular, recommendations for the Riverdale Park-Kenilworth and Beacon Heights-East Pines Purple Line Stations were crafted with the new Neighborhood Activity Center (NAC) Zone in mind. Both plans were approved by the District

Council prior to approval of the new Zoning Ordinance and the District Council authorized the rezoning of properties to implement these approved sector plans through the CMA. Upon applying the The Guide to New Zones to all 9,124 parcels in both sector plan areas, 8,900 parcels received the appropriate zone classification. Sixteen properties (comprising 224 parcels) received zone classifications in conflict with, or that would prohibit implementation of, the recommendations of these sector plans.

The County Council has authorized the assignment of “the zone that meets the intent of the approved sector plan recommendations for those properties….” The Planning Department created and applied the Decision Matrix, found on the last page of this brochure, to implement this direction, identifying the zone classifications most appropriate for each type of land use recommendation in the sector plans.
