Extra 3: Request: Requesting approval of a Departure from Design Standards (DDS) to reconfigure the front parking lot, due to acquisition of 10,335 square feet of property by the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), for the construction of the Purple Line light rail. The applicant requested a departure from design standards (DDS), per Section 27-558(a) of the prior Prince George’s County Zoning Ordinance. Section 27-558(a) provides design standards for parking space sizes. Standard nonparallel parking spaces are required to measure 19 feet by 9.5 feet. Compact nonparallel parking spaces are required to measure 16.5 feet by 8 feet. The applicant requested that the proposed standard nonparallel spaces be reduced to 18 feet by 9 feet, to maximize the number of standard spaces within the remaining parking lot.
