Friends of Harford Alert on Bill 17-015- Public Hearing Notice
2017 Friends of Harford CZR Request Evaluation Chart
This September the County Council received Bill 17-015 from the Administration. The recommendations from Planning & Zoning for each issue including 5 new ones the Department entered, are the basis of the bill. (See link with bill, Directors Report and recommendations for change/no change in zoning.) The County Council has until its final meeting in October to vote on the bill and make amendments.
The public hearings are the first week of October: Monday, October 2nd at Aberdeen High School and Thursday, October 5th at Bel Air High School, both at 6:30 pm. The vote may be taken any time after the public hearings are completed.
It is urgent that you contact your Councilman or speak at the public hearings if you wish them to approve or reject any of the zoning change/no-changes in the bill itself. Time is short.
Clicking on the green bar below provides charts for each Council district (A through F). On this chart, in the blue column (labeled “Bill 17-015”) are the requests the Council is asked to approve. The green column (“FOH”) is what FOH recommends. Rows highlighted in orange are issues where FOH strongly disagrees with what’s in the Bill and is asking the Council to amend the Bill to change them. Our reasons are shown HERE.
Remember, YOUR opinions are the most important and need to be expressed during the public hearings!
Any Councilman may add an amendment to any issue in the bill changing the zoning as they believe would be best for the property. They may offer this amendment at any time prior to the final vote.

Friends of Harford Suggested Amendments to Bill 17-015
Everyone needs to come out on 10-5 to support zoning changes specifically the rockspring request. If you haven’t heard the list of stores planned for this upscale center you need to find out. This is just what Forest Hill needs to continue the replacement of outdated business’s.
When I read the word “upscale” I started to laugh only to realize I also sharted.
Just what the white (no racism or bigotry implied) picket fence, nose tilt high in the air, dust off your shoulder stick built Forest Hill housing community definitely needs.
Big ballers, park your S class that you’re in debt in at the parking lot.
Yeah, I’m definitely jealous. Let me know when the next heroin overdose happens. It’s pretty easy to spot, there’s an ambulance and at least 1 police car at a residence.
I encourage you to cheer for more commercial businesses to develop up there.
It’ll be a great reason for Harford LINK to think about adding bus routes so that everyone “down there (route 40) can enjoy the same upscale experience you will.
I’m sure that tone will change when county employees are digging holes for bus stop sign but hey, it’s inevitable the way I see it.
Them blue busses keep getting bigger and bigger.
When I read the word “upscale” I started to laugh only to realize I also sharted.
You should get that checked out, it’s a symptom of late stage colon cancer.
