Adequate Public Facilities Planning

FOR the purpose of creating the Adequate Public
Facilities Planning Commission to study the
development and implementation of Statewide
[[adequate public facilities legislation]] plans for

adequate facilities; and encouraging local

implementation of interim [[legislation]] plans.

rapid, speculative, and uncoordinated growth. Presently
there is a lack of coordination among local
[[ordinances]] subdivisions to insure reasoned,
controlled, and fiscally responsible regional and
Statewide growth.

There is a need for comprehensive, Statewide
planning to insure that adequate facilities exist or are
planned or developed in order to anticipate and prevent
problems of health, safety, traffic congestion,
overcrowded schools and environmental damage; now,

the State Department of Planning, the Chairman of the
Maryland Association of Counties, the Chairman of the
Maryland Municipal League, the Chairman of the Regional
Planning Council, the Chairman of the Maryland National
