The Calvert County Comprehensive Plan is a policy document that reflects present and future needs and concerns and gives direction in addressing those needs and concerns. One tool necessary to implement the Plan is a Zoning Ordinance designed to regulate land uses. Many aspects of land use can impact adjoining properties, neighborhoods, public facilities and overall County development. As mandated in the Comprehensive Plan, this Zoning Ordinance is adopted to regulate land uses as part of the effort to promote the health, safety and general welfare of Calvert County residents.
