The Comprehensive Planning Division directs the formation of and ensures the adherence to the City's Capital budget and comprehensive plans. This includes, but is not limited to directing the Mayor's Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan program, urban renewal plans, community based planning initiatives, environmental review, transit oriented development, the Capital Improvement Program, and critical areas management.Working closely with private citizens, neighborhood/community based organizations, and non-profits to ensure that sound planning principles are being applied, the Comprehensive Planning Division incorporates a variety of planning disciplines including land use, environmental planning, transportation planning, and community planning to ensure that the City is provided with realistic, implementable plans.
Comprehensive Planners within this section are assigned to geographic sections (planning districts) that correspond to the points of a compass. The Comprehensive Planners each specialize in specific areas such as housing, transportation,commercial development, environment, historic preservation, etc. Each planner is intimately involved in, and aware of, the Capital Improvement Program and its role in implementing the plans developed through this Division. Comprehensive Planners in the Division provide services such as:
- Developing a capital budget and six-year capital improvement program (CIP) annually, by reviewing capital improvement requests and making recommendations about the placement, reuse, or closing of facilities.
- Publishing Baltimore's Capital Improvement Program, which lists projects funded through the CIP once it has been adopted by the City Council.
- Developing and coordinating appropriate community review of planning-related City Council bills, as well as zoning appeals and subdivision and development plans.
- Implementing State-mandated Forest Conservation and Critical Area (shoreline protection) Programs, as well as greenways projects.
- Enforcing the City's Floodplain Management Program, coordinating the City's flood prevention initiatives with other agencies, and educating the public about floodplain management.
- Developing the City's loan authorization program.
- Providing technical assistance to neighborhoods as they develop urban renewal plans and plan amendments, neighborhood plans, and institutional master plans.
