Resumen
Descripción
Logit analysis is used to evaluate the performance of the zoning body in Frederick
County, Maryland , in term of its statutory policy objectives. Models are formulated to
test the hypothesis that the rezoning process is consistent with the guideline specified in
the County Zoning Ordinance. An analysis of 59 requests for rezoning from agricultural
to other uses indicates that, in general , both the Planning Commission staff and the
County Commissioners conform to the Ordinance. At the Commissioner ' level , a
development bias in favor of industrial u e was found . The methodology may also be
used to forecast the probability a particular rezoning request would be approved.
