Article 66B Zoning and Planning, of the Annotated Code of Maryland, was enacted in 1927 and substantially revised in 1970. It delegates planning and zoning regulatory powers to several counties and municipalities. Among several of the delegated powers is the authority to create a planning commission to prepare comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances, and subdivision regulations and to guide development within this framework.
The seven-member Carroll County Planning and Zoning Commission was formed on August 10, 1959. Members serve without pay, and receive a $90 per diem allowance. All are citizens of Carroll County. The Commission members as of November 2011 were as follows:
