Four annexation requests and a pair of zoning code changes are scheduled before the Aberdeen City Council tonight (Monday) at 7 p.m. in City Hall.

The 952 Gilbert Road, LLC annexation plan could be adopted by the mayor and city council Monday night and resolutions to annex Paradise Meadows, Inc., Presbyterian Home of Maryland, Inc. and Vernon K. Johnson Trust Properties, and the Scotten Property are set for introduction.

In February, the Aberdeen Planning Commission reviewed plans for a 221-acre annexation at 600 Paradise Road owned by Paradise Meadows, Inc.
