Baltimore City Council, Planning Commission, and Board of Municipal and Zoning Appeals process rezonings, urban renewal plan amendments, PUDs, and conditional use permits under the Transform Baltimore zoning code. Urban renewal plans govern redevelopment in designated areas including the Port Covington waterfront, Inner Harbor, and East Baltimore biotech corridor near Johns Hopkins. PUD applications provide flexibility for large-scale projects that span multiple zoning categories. The Remington, Federal Hill, and Canton neighborhoods generate active infill rezoning and variance filings. Transform Baltimore's modernized code encourages mixed-use and transit-oriented development categories that appear frequently in rezoning requests.
