## § 12-207 W Waterfront Overlay Districts.

Balt., Md., Code art. 32, § 12-207 (2026)

W Waterfront Overlay Zoning Districts are intended to preserve, create, and enhance public views of and access to the waterfront and creatively encourage use of the waterfront by providing a waterfront promenade, including connections to nearby public rights-of-way, open spaces, and other public amenities.  These Districts serve to establish a process to encourage new waterfront development to occur in a manner that seeks to minimize substantial change to existing public views of the waterfront from adjacent public streets and neighborhoods, and to enhance the existing waterfront promenade by creating a continuous public access via a promenade along non-industrial portions of the City’s waterfront.
