MD SB389

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 normal Secretary designation limits and applying retroactively to existing designations

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

State-owned land contiguous to qualifying rail stations is exempt from local zoning restrictions on height, setback, and land use classification when subject to a Department of Transportation-approved transit-oriented development plan

Development excise taxes and impact fees for qualifying mixed-use 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 loans for redeveloping state-owned land near rail transit stations under the Strategic Infrastructure Revolving Loan Program, and project labor agreements become a scoring preference for Transit-Oriented Development Capital Grant funding
