Preliminary Draft Plan for Region 4 (Broadneck and Lake Shore Peninsulas)

Plan2040, the latest update of the Anne Arundel County General Development Plan, directs the County to prepare nine Region Plans. The Region Plans offer community members an opportunity to develop a shared vision for their future, and will build on the work of the previous Small Area Plans as well as Plan2040.

A preliminary draft plan for our region (Region 4) is available for review and comment until August 28th. This plan includes an evaluation of community assets and needs, a shared vision for the next 20 years, and specific recommendations for our region about land use, zoning, environmental protection, transportation improvements, public facilities, community design and other related topics. 

The Region 4 Planning Hub is here:

https://region-plan-hub-annearundelmd.hub.arcgis.com/pages/region-4

and general information about the regional planning process is here:

https://www.aacounty.org/departments/planning-and-zoning/long-range-planning/region-plans/index.html

A review drop-in session will be held at the Severna Park Library this Monday, August 7th, from 11 am to 7 pm. Residents are invited to drop in any time during that window to discuss the Preliminary Draft of the Region 4 Plan and Comprehensive Zoning Map with Office of Planning and Zoning Staff.

Data Call for Updated Community Directory

 Greetings,

Our last community directory was printed 15 years ago, so we are certainly due for an update. To make this easy, I have created an online form that will take just a few minutes to fill out, and the responses will be compiled in a spreadsheet. This information will be used for non-commercial, community-related purposes only. I'll distribute the updated directory as a pdf file via email to Campus Green residents only, at no cost. Please provide your info via this link: https://forms.office.com/r/BuSHa8Ybse , or you can scan or click on the QR code provided below.

Thanks!

Short Course at AACC, June 7-9: Citizen Engagement on the County Budget

 Greetings,

I'm sharing this note from Kurt Svendsen:

===

From June 7th-9th, I will be facilitating a “short-course” through the Peer Learning Partnership (PLP) program at the Community College. Through a series of simple lessons, videos, and guest speakers, a wide range of life-long learners will come together to explore how citizens can better engage with their local government around budget issues and honor the civic virtue of responsibility. 

Here's a link to a course flyer:

===========

Hello, I’m Nolan Gille and I live in Campus Green at 223 Melody Lane. I’m part of the Environmental Literacy Program at Broadneck High School. My capstone project involves me doing something eco friendly to help the environment. I am hosting an invasive English Ivy cutting event at Twin Oaks Park on May 13, and would like you to spread the word to Campus Green. Would you be willing to email this out to the neighborhood?

This is the signup genius. It is helpful to fill out, but not mandatory. The flyer is at the bottom.

Thanks, 

Nolan Gille
