Zoning Information.
Calvert County, Maryland has adopted the town center zoning concept to best
utilize the resources and address environmental concerns. The Calvert County
Zoning Ordinance calls for the concentration of commercial, retail and high
density residential developments to occur in designated Town Center areas.
Industrial areas are located throughout the County, but mainly at the Calvert
County Industrial Park. In addition to the Calvert County Zoning Ordinance, many
of the town centers have Town Center Master Plans which impose additional
regulations on allowed uses and architectural style.
Business Zoning Categories
