1. City & Port of Baltimore Maritime Industrial Zone Overlay District (MIZOD) “Talking Freight” Web Conference, Nov. 19, 2008 James M. Dwyer Maryland Port Administration Deputy Director for Planning (410) 385-4469

2. The City of Baltimore has always had a great maritime history, due to its inland location. Baltimore 1752

3. Railroads led the way for terminal development. However, they lost the incentive after WWII when trucking became viable option for transportation.

4. In the past 2,000 years, there have been three paradigm shifts in ship design and maritime transportation. • Steam Propulsion - early 1800s • Steel shipbuilding - late 1800s • Containerized cargo – 1956 (Larger terminals needed.) 4 Graphic Courtesy of NOAA, Illustration by Lili Robins

5. Globalization: Baltimore’s international trade continues to grow, and domestic waterborne tonnage remains steady. POB Waterborne Cargoes Tons, (millions) 5 1931

6. Evolution continues: Many cargo terminals and maritime industries have migrated out of the Inner Harbor. Baltimore 1934 Baltimore 1964 Inner Harbor Inner Harbor

10. The Port of Baltimore generates considerable economic impact for the City and region. • 50,200 Jobs in Maryland are dependent upon cargo and vessel activity at the Port. • 16,500 Direct jobs • 33,700 Induced and Indirect jobs   • $388 million in State and local taxes per year. Neighboring Ports are very competitive for our business & jobs. Developers are competitive for waterfront land in the City.

17. In the early 2000s the City realized it could better manage Planned Unit Developments. • PUDs were eroding the Port’s critical mass. • It was difficult to say “No” to developers one-on-one. • Land Use became a constant issue at the Industrial - Mixed Use frontier. Maritime/Industrial Use Jobs Adds value Must be on deep water. Residential/Commercial Use Taxes Consumes value Desires waterfront, but can be located inland.

18. In 2004 the City passed the Maritime Industrial Zone Overlay District (MIZOD). MIZOD helped the Port’s private terminals’ ability to get financing and protection from encroachment. • Underlying Zoning is “Heavy Industrial”. • Deep water (18’), with RR or Hwy access. • Planned Unit Developments (PUD’s) are not allowed for 10 years (until 2014). • Taverns & live entertainment not allowed. • Office, Hotel, Commercial uses are not permitted, unless as an accessory use. A 10-year extension is now being considered…
