Supreme Court of Maryland

Prince George's Cty. v. Concerned Citizens

September 1, 2023

Summary

The court held that the county's zoning text amendment permitting higher-density housing on qualifying properties did not violate Maryland's uniformity requirement. Although the amendment was narrowly tailored and likely benefited one airport property, it served valid public purposes and did not discriminatorily treat any similarly situated properties. The court therefore reversed the intermediate appellate court and affirmed the county council's decision.
