TITLE
Transit-Oriented Development - Penn Station
For the purpose of supporting a State Transit-Oriented Development designation for Penn Station, the area surrounding and including Baltimore Penn Station; and providing for a special effective date.
BODY
Recitals
Whereas, Title 7, Subtitle 1 of the State Transportation Article requires that, in addition to other criteria, that a Transit-Oriented Development (“TOD”) be designated as a TOD by the Maryland Secretary of Transportation and the relevant local government;
Whereas, Mayor Brandon M. Scott, in his letter to the Secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation dated April 27, 2022, attached hereto as “Exhibit A”, identified the City’s transportation priorities for inclusion in the Consolidated Transportation Program and, in part, proposed a TOD designation for Penn Station, the area surrounding and including Baltimore Penn Station, as depicted in “Exhibit B”, and as more particularly described in “Exhibit C” (the “Project”)”;
Whereas, the Project will be a mix of private and public parking facilities, commercial and residential structures, and uses, improvements, and facilities customarily appurtenant to such facilities and uses;
Whereas, the Project is part of a deliberate development plan and strategy involving property that is either adjacent to or located within one-half mile of the passenger boarding and alighting location of Baltimore Penn Station;
Whereas, the Project is planned to maximize the use of transit, walking, and bicycling by residents, employees, and other users of the Project;
Whereas, this Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore represents the City’s support of a State TOD designation pursuant to the Maryland Governor’s Executive Order 01.01.2009.12 entitled “Locating State Facilities to Stimulate Transit-Oriented Development” as well as provisions of the State Code, including the Economic Development and the Housing and Community Development Articles; and
Whereas, this Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore could potentially bring the Project prioritization for funds, resources, financing assistance, tax credits, the location of State offices, and support from State agencies.
Section 1. Be it resolved by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, That the City of Baltimore supports a State Transit-Oriented Development designation for Penn Station, the area surrounding and including Baltimore Penn Station, as depicted in “Exhibit B”, and as more particularly described in “Exhibit C”, in accordance with the Maryland Governor’s Executive Order 01.01.2009.12 and the State Transportation Article.
Section 2. And be it further resolved, That this Resolution takes effect the date it is enacted.
