The document discusses floating zones, overlay zones, and proposed new uses. Floating zones are mapped and can include various land uses, building types, and development standards. Overlay zones may limit FAR, use mix, and height. Proposed new uses include agricultural education/tourism, various industrial uses, agricultural uses in commercial and employment zones, and senior living facilities in life science zones.

ZAP MEETING JUNE 2012 Floating Zones Overlay Zones Uses
Floating Zones
Applicability Recommended in master or sector plan or Meets applicable prerequisites in Article 59-5
Land Uses Established by the Floating Zone Map Amendment Assign one or more appropriate Euclidean zones uses under Article 59-3. Restrict by area or building type under the Floating Zone Map Amendment. Individual uses or use groups may be disallowed by the Floating Zone Map Amendment.
Floating Zones
Building Types Building types specifically prohibited for the subject property in an
approved master or sector plan are not allowed.
Any building type recommended for the subject property in an approved
master or sector plan is allowed.
No recommendation regarding building types requires development to
meet the prerequisites under Article 59-5 for the applicable building type.
Floating Zones Residential
3 families of residential floating zones Each floating zone prescribes various land uses, building types, and
development standards. Mapped indicating maximum allowed units per acre. Residential Detached Floating Townhouse Floating Apartment Floating

Floating Zones Residential
Residential Uses May be assigned from any residential detached, townhouse, or multi-family Euclidean zone. Commercial Uses Only uses allowed in CRN zone may be assigned unless another zones uses are specifically recommended in master or sector plan. Commercial uses only allowed for applications of a minimum of 150 units or residential densities of least 20 units per acre of the gross tract area.

Overlay zones (for example)
Neighborhood Protection Overlay Garrett Park Neighborhood Retail Overlay zone
Special Protection Area Overlay
Rock Creek Upper Paint Branch
TDR Overlay Based on TDR density designation in master plan

Overlay Zones
Overlay zones Several existing overlays may not need to be retained due zone designations that limit FAR, use mix, and height. As well as a lower threshold for site plan review. A few of the existing overlay zones are in master plan areas under review and one has been recently eliminated through the master plan process.
16
Overlay Zones
TDR Overlay Land designated in a TDR Overlay zone is assigned a number, as recommended in the applicable master or sector plan that delineates the maximum number of units per acre that may be built through the purchase of TDRS up to the following limits: For residential zones: TDR Density Designation Zone RE-2 RE2C Maximum 4 2 units/acre RE1 2 RLD20 11 RMD9 28 RMD6 28 RHD3 40 RHD2 50 RHD-1 100
TDR Overlay zones are delineated as the overlay zone symbol (TDR) followed by the TDR density designation (1 through 100) on the zoning map, [TDR-#].
17
Overlay Zones
TDR Overlay
For residential zones: Development using TDRs must include at least 2/3rds of the number of development rights designated. The density designation and number of units determines building types allowed and the required maximum or minimum percentage.
One TDR allows the construction of the following number of units up to the TDR density designation: i. 1 TDR= 1 detached unit, ii. 1 TDR = 2 duplex or townhouse units, or iii. 1 TDR = 3 multi-family units.

TDR Overlay For commercial/residential and employment zones: Benefit points for the provision of TDRs TDR equivalency for commercial square feet and residential units modeled on the TOMX zone

Uses
New Use Proposal
Ag Education/ Tourism Definition: Agricultural and ancillary activities conducted as part of a farm's regular operations with emphasis on: outdoor instruction, outdoor experiential training, and other fun events which provide opportunities for Agricultural Education and promotes the importance of agriculture to the general public. Use Standards: a. The minimum size of the property must be at least 50 acres. b. Not less than 60% of the property must be maintained in agricultural cultivation, pastureland, woodland, or natural features. c. Agriculture Education and Ag Tourism activities should include hands-on experiences that foster increased knowledge of farming including low-impact cultivation methods, humane animal care, water conservation, Maryland's farming history, the importance of eating healthy, locally grown foods, teamwork and personal responsibility and other outdoor fun experiences and events on farms.
