Within Baltimore City’s zoning code is Title 14, subtitle 4, detailing the removal of gasoline service stations. Baltimore City emphasizes the importance of regulating removal of gasoline stations because the City considers gasoline service stations a conditional use in all zoning districts due to the transient demand for gasoline service stations in certain locations as land is developed and markets change.69 Other counties may reference this issue under sections on abandonment of gasoline stations.
