Corridor Sectional Map Amendment

The Corridor Sectional Map Amendment Project consists of three components—legislation to amend the Zoning Ordinance, a Sectional Map Amendment (SMA), and comprehensive urban design guidelines.

This project is essential because the Zoning Ordinance will not permit an SMA for the Subregion 4 TOD Implementation Project area as it is currently written. An SMA is required to implement the Addison Road Regulating Plan per the provisions of Subtitle 27A and will be necessary should either of the two existing overlay zones need to be amended. To communicate a cohesive vision for the Central Avenue Corridor and to facilitate development, this project will also create a user-friendly summary of urban design standards and guidelines.

Milestones:

Conduct public education and outreach
Change the existing zoning along the corridor
Create legislation to amend the Zoning Ordinance
Initiate and draft the SMA.
Prepare urban design summary

Timeline:

Fall 2011–Fall 2012
