Planning Board Meeting, September 17, 2026

The Baltimore County Planning Board held a meeting on September 17, 2026, focusing primarily on amendments to the water supply and sewage master plan and a comprehensive data center study report. The board reviewed two water and sewage designation amendments for the Covenant of Grace Presbyterian Church and the Randlestown Islamic Center, discussing classifications (W1 vs. W3) related to water and sewage infrastructure and capital improvements. Motions were passed to approve these amendments with specific conditions, including limitations on extensions beyond the metropolitan district. The board also extensively discussed and approved a detailed data center study report with multiple amendments addressing zoning, community benefits, energy usage comparisons, and economic impacts, recommending the report be forwarded to the county council for further action. Additionally, the meeting included updates on certificates of appropriateness issued by the Landmarks Preservation Commission and recent county council legislation affecting zoning and regulatory matters. The board voted to adjourn after confirming the next meeting date and cancelling the October 1st session.
