Design Review
The Design Review committee reviews all of the plans for individual property improvements or proposed property subdivisions and monitors the projects to make sure property owners are complying with Baltimore City law and zoning codes. The city recommends that any major additions to individual properties or proposed property subdivisions be submitted to the community association prior to any public hearings. It is the policy of the LPCA to request a postponement of any hearing for an applicant that has not first notified the LPCA Board of Directors and presented plans to the Board. Please submit plans to LPCA P.O. Box 27097, Baltimore, MD 21230.

Dog Park
Chaired by Chelsea Hooks | latrobedogparkcommunity@gmail.
In partnership with Under Armour, we offer plots for residents to grow their own plants and produce. Currently, there is a waiting list for plot openings. We added 24 new plots this year and have added more than 30 new gardeners. The committee is looking to add more plots to accommodate demand next year. Besides individual plots, gardeners also get to taste communal items such as blueberries, strawberries, apples, pears and pumpkins. The garden also features honey bees and the honey is sold through the Maryland Honey Shop.

Elections & Nominations – Vacant
The Elections & Nominations Committee only meets a few times a year prior to the Civic Association Elections to draw nominations for Board and Office Positions, and run the balloting and teller functions during the election.
By-laws – Not Active
This committee is occasionally tasked with updating the by-laws of the Civic Association. The by-laws, which govern the organization and procedural functions of the Association, had not been updated in 20 years preceding the June 2006 revision. The committee works with a professional parliamentarian for guidance on revisions.
