Carroll County Government - Bureau of Comprehensive Planning

The Town of Union Bridge originally adopted the 2008 Union Bridge Community Comprehensive Plan on July 27, 2008. Since its adoption, there have been two amendments to the plan document.

In September, 2009 a plan amendment proposed removing the westerly extension of Shepherd's Mill Road between Quaker Hill Road and MD 75/Green Valley Road as a planned major street. Following a November public hearing, the Union Bridge Planning and Zoning Commission recommended adopting the proposed amendment. The Town officially adopted this amended plan on December 21, 2009.

A second amendment was initiated as a result of the Town's participation in developing a unified Water Resources Element (WRE) in conjunction with the County and Carroll's seven other municipalities. This new plan element was required to be in place by April 2010. The WRE was jointly circulated by the County and all of the municipalities for 60-day public review on November 17, 2009. Following its February 11, 2010 public hearing, the Union Bridge Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the element's adoption to the Mayor and Town Council on March 18, 2010. The WRE was adopted by the Mayor and Town Council on April 26, 2010.
