Hebron--On The March To Become Little Salisbury

This from Hebron's new Comprehensive Plan:

Table 23 Planned Annexation Area Hebron, Maryland Planned Annexation Area AcresInfill 143Mixed Use 261Planned Employment 329Other, School 10Other, Park 7Total 750Source: Peter Johnston & Associates Growth Phasing Hebron’s Priority Funding Areas (PFA) shown on Map 6 corresponds with the Town’s anticipated growth staging over the next twenty years. This future growth phasing also is reflected in the Town’s water and sewer priorities (see Map 7). Land located in the Planned Priority Funding Area will be submitted for PFA certification when the Town has completed appropriate feasibility studies concerning public facilities and services. Conservation/Rural Transition The Conservation/Rural Transition area (see Map 8) includes existing farms, low density rural residential use, forested areas and stream corridors that form a rural buffer or greenbelt for the Town. The intent of this designation is to identify areas outside of the Town that are not planned for annexation at this time but are adjacent areas of interest to the Town. Specifically, the Town’s objectives for Conservation/Rural Transition Area are: • Encourage the County to limit development to agriculture and/or conservation uses; • Create a rural‐urban transition area that is a green edge differentiating the urban extent of Hebron from its surroundings and giving the Town an identity in the landscape; • Protect sensitive and agricultural areas within the buffer from development; • Supports the concept of green infrastructure that forms a network of protected habitat and buffers along drainage course;

At least Hebron is following requirements and planning. The county is way behind Hebron on that one and is letting subdivisions pop up all around the town.
