Land Use - Transit-Oriented Development - Alterations (Maryland Transit and Housing Opportunity Act)

Summary

The bill makes any area that the state already labels a transit‑oriented development (TOD) and that is served by a rail station with at least hourly service on weekdays an enterprise zone, overriding existing caps. It also directs the Maryland Economic Development Corporation to give priority to certain redevelopment loans near those stations, limits local governments’ ability to impose parking, zoning, and fee requirements, and delays collection of development taxes until projects are finished. The changes aim to spur mixed‑use, affordable housing and job‑creating projects near high‑frequency rail service.
