Development Activity

Until a development application is submitted, the County does not have access to future application materials. However, some projects may request to forego a review process prior to submitting a development application, and those are done through a modification request. Find more information on active modification requests here.

• Active Modification

Furthermore, you may request more information on an active modification application, or an active application for development, by completing a request in the below link, and selecting the Planning and Zoning button.     

Public Information Act Requests

Visit our Community Meeting Calendar and select the button for “Future Meetings”. You may also select past meetings still available for comment, or those closed for comment. Community Meeting information is displayed for a minimum of 1 year from the date held on our website. 
 
Community Meeting Calendar

Generally, community meetings must be held before an application for development is submitted. A subsequent follow up meeting is often required as the project progresses. Some projects are exempt from the requirement to hold a community meeting, but may do so as a courtesy. Community meeting provisions, including when a project is required to hold a community meeting, can be found in Articles 17-2-107 & 108 of the Anne Arundel County Code, with additional information and useful links found on the Office of Planning and Zoning’s Community Meeting webpage.
