Councilmanic District: 9 Location: Located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of MD 381 (Brandywine Road) and Den Lee Drive (3.43 Acres; R-80 Zone).
Extra 3: Request: Requesting approval of a Departure from Design Standards (DDS) from Section 4.7, Buffering Incompatible Uses, of the 2010 Prince George’s County Landscape Manual (Landscape Manual) for a church or similar place of worship. Per Table 4.7-1 of the Landscape Manual, a church is considered a medium-impact use. The one-family detached dwellings to the north and west require a Type C bufferyard between the two uses. The applicant requested a reduction from the required 40-foot building setback to 13.5 feet, and the 30-foot landscape bufferyard to vary from 0 to 30 feet. The only proposed modifications to the property are to adjust the driveway and parking areas to accommodate the new use. This includes widening the existing driveway and entrance, as well as striping the parking spaces.
