MD HB894

Transit-oriented developments served by rail stations with at least hourly service (8 AM-6 PM, Monday-Friday) automatically qualify as enterprise zones, bypassing the Secretary's usual designation limits

Local governments cannot impose minimum off-street parking requirements on residential or mixed-use developments within 0.25 miles of qualifying rail stations, and must allow mixed-use development within 0.5 miles

State-owned land adjacent to qualifying rail stations used for transportation purposes is exempt from local zoning restrictions on height, setback, and land use classification if subject to a Department of Transportation-approved transit-oriented development plan

Development excise taxes and impact fees for qualifying residential projects in transit-oriented developments cannot be collected until after construction is complete and occupancy permits are issued

The Maryland Development Corporation must prioritize redevelopment of state-owned land near rail stations when making Strategic Infrastructure Revolving Loan Program loans, and projects using project labor agreements receive scoring preference for Transit-Oriented Development Capital Grants
