City of Westminster Annexation No. 90 — Carroll County Sheriff's Office Headquarters
Carroll County
Description
About 4.3 acres being annexed into Westminster for the new Sheriff's Office headquarters; a zoning waiver is needed for the residential-zoned portion since city B-Business zoning allows much more intense uses. The commission recommended approval and the county commissioners take it up October 1.
Impact summary
The Sheriff's headquarters site moves into the city's B Business district; the Planning and Zoning Commission found the annexation won't overburden county infrastructure.
