Reminder: Worcester County Notice of Public Hearing

Friday, July 17, 2026

(July 17, 2026) Many owners of property on the north side of Ocean Pines received a Notice of Public Hearing from Worcester County for property recently sold that is situated west of the north gate entrance.

Per the notice, the request is to rezone 14.72 acres of land from a R-2 suburban residential district to a R-3 multi-family residential district.

Clarification has been received from Worcester County regarding this request. As the parcel currently is listed as R-2, this would allow for approximately 59 dwelling units. The owner of the property is requesting rezoning to a R-3, which would allow for approximately 87 dwelling units. Further received was that the initial concept if the zoning change is approved that the land would be a townhome development, with a 100’ buffer around the Ocean Pines lot and the wetlands on the property.

Those that wish to attend the hearing can do so on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. in the Worcester County Government Center, Room 1101, One West Market Street, Snow Hill, MD. For more information, please contact the Department of Development, Review and Permitting at 410-632-1200 and reference Rezoning Case No. 453.
