Annapolis City Planners To Debate Master Plan in May

A plan that would lay the groundwork for massive changes at City Dock in downtown Annapolis will be up for debate among city planners in May.

The Annapolis Planning Commission is scheduled to deliberate on the City Dock Master Plan at 7 p.m. on May 2. The public hearing on the plan was closed in March, during which dozens of residents and organizations turned out to voice varying levels of concern and support for the plan.

In addition to adding more green space to the downtown district and retaining the view shed down Main Street, the plan seeks to open building heights up to five stories along Dock Street, and up to three stories at the Fawcett site.

The plan was created by the 25-member City Dock Advisory Committee appointed by the mayor. In October 2012, they unveiled their recommendations, which were then brought before the Planning Commission for a public hearing.

The goal of the plan is to establish guidelines on how the gateway to the city's downtown could grow over time.

Following a vote from the Planning Commission, the City Council would next consider the plan's recommendations. 

Questions about the City Dock plan are being directed to City Hall via CityDock@annapolis.gov.
