Chairman Ball and Members of the County Council:

The League of Women Voters of Howard County supports County Council Bill 73 which removes certain zoning requirements from the Howard County Code that relate to properties wholly owned by the Howard County Housing Commission.

Council Bill 73 is a companion bill to County Council Bill 72. Subject to County Council adoption of Bill 72 and enactment it is appropriate that Section 13.1315 b. of the Howard County Housing and Community Development code be deleted.

The League supports County Council Bill 72 with amendments and therefore supports Bill 73. We urge favorable adoption by the County Council.
