Fells Point West

Dear community members,

It is critically important that you check the attached proposed amendments to see if your property will be impacted. If so, you need to email Emily Sherman ([email protected]) immediately to state what it is YOU want for YOUR property. It should be noted that an amendment to change zoning on Fleet Street from 1800 -2200 blocks from C-1 to R-8 was submitted by a resident, in many cases without the knowledge of these property owners. Councilman Kraft has been responding to individual requests to remain C-1 as indicated in Transform Baltimore.

Please share this information with your neighbors who are NOT on this email list.

In an email, Emily Sherman from Councilman Kraft's office said : Councilman Reisinger just announced that the first map voting session will be on Wednesday, September 7th at 5PM, here at City Hall. The committee will start with the first district and will work its way through. If they do not complete all 14 districts, then other voting sessions will be announced.

Some of you may note that this is the same date as the Baltimore Link public meeting at the Southeast Anchor Library. Unfortunately, we did not have any say in the scheduling of either of these meetings.

If you or anyone you know would like to submit comments on the map amendments proposed (attached again for reference), then please be sure to email me no later than September 1st. Please note that this is a voting session, not a public hearing, so no testimony will be taken. The hearings and testimony occurred last fall and winter.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about these amendments, please take note of the unique ID number (M1, M2, M3 etc.) and send me or Councilman Kraft an email with your comments. He will take all opinions into consideration before voting. This ends the information from Emily.

Additionally, it is recommended that all comments and questions should becopied to: Coates, Jennifer ([email protected]), andPlymouth, Paul ([email protected],)


I hope that this information is helpful to you.

City-Wide Zika Prevention & Response Plan

Under the direction of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Commissioner Wen and the Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD) have worked in concert with city, state, and federal agencies to develop a comprehensive, city-wide plan in response to the Zika virus. BCHD has convened over 20 city agencies to focus on source reduction, surveillance, education, and the public health response to locally acquired cases. BCHD will continue to work with the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to stay abreast of any new information or potential incidents of the disease within and around Maryland. The city-wide plan is based on a three-pronged approach: 1) Mosquito Surveillance, 2) Case Investigation and 3) Public Education.
