By Ordinance 06-250, the Mayor and City Council approved the application of Natty Boh, LLC, to create a Planned Unit Development for Brewers Hill by repealing Ordinance 00-128 and replacing the previous Planned Unit Development and accompanying Development Plan.
Natty Boh, LLC, wishes to amend the Development Plan, as previously approved by the Mayor and City Council, to amend the development sub-limits in Area 6 of the Planned Unit Development, and the adjustment of the Area 6 sub-limits does not increase the overall square footage or unit limits within the Planned Unit Development.
On September 12, 2006, representatives of Natty Boh, LLC, met with the Department of Planning for a preliminary conference to explain the scope and nature of the proposed amendments to the Development Plan.
The representatives of Natty Boh, LLC, have now applied to the Baltimore City Council for approval of these amendments, and they have submitted amendments to the Development Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Title 9, Subtitles 1 and 4 of the Baltimore City Zoning Code.
