The sector plan and SMA will amend portions of the 1994 Approved Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment for Bladensburg–New Carrollton and Vicinity, Planning Area 69, build upon the 2010 Subregion 4 Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment, Planning Area 72, the 2005 Countywide Green Infrastructure Functional Master Plan, the 2008 Approved Public Facilities Master Plan, and the 2009 Master Plan of Transportation, and the 2002 Prince George’s County Approved General Plan. The sector plan will be a long-range, comprehensive plan that provides recommendations and strategies to enhance the quality and character of communities and neighborhoods, encourage quality economic development and re-development, provide diverse housing opportunities, protect environmentally sensitive lands, protect and preserve historic sites and make efficient use of existing and proposed county infrastructure and investment. The goal of the final product will be to establish the framework for viable community enhancement, land use compatibility, sustainable economic development, and an improved transportation system. The sector plan and SMA are being prepared concurrently in accordance with Section 27-225.01.05 of the Zoning Ordinance. Approval of the resolution authorizes the Planning Board to begin preparation of the plan and approves the plan’s proposed Goals, Concepts, Guidelines, and Public Participation Program.
