Cnty. Cncl. of Prince George's Cnty. v. Robin Dale Land

Summary

The Supreme Court of Maryland affirmed the judgment requiring the District Council to reconsider 2019 zoning decisions after notice, a public hearing, and compliance with prior remand instructions. The Court held that the 2021 countywide zoning map was a technical, non-substantive conversion rather than a comprehensive rezoning, so it did not moot the property owners’ claims or excuse compliance with judicial directives. The Court further held that the District Council violated State and local law by downzoning the properties at a work session without providing notice or an opportunity to be heard.
