Title
A Resolution concerning Preparation of a Sector Plan (Master Plan Amendment) and SMA and approval of Goals, Concepts, Guidelines and Public Participation Program for the Landover Gateway Area for the purpose of initiating an amendment to the 1993 Approved Landover and Vicinity Master Plan (Planning Area 72), the 1990 Approved Largo-Lottsford and Vicinity Master Plan and SMA (Planning Area 73), and approving Goals, Concepts, Guidelines, and a Public Participation Program in order to develop a comprehensive approach to implement the recommendations of the 2002 Approved General Plan to ensure that future development is consistent with County policies.
Background
The 2008 Planning Department Work Program requires that a sector plan be prepared for the Landover Gateway area; and the sector plan area being part of Planning Areas 72 and 73 is generally comprised of the properties within a half-mile radius of the immediate Landover Mall site area including Landover Crossing Shopping Center, the former Landover Mall site, Glenarden and Maple Ridge Apartments, Brightseat Liquors, Good Year Tire, Bonnie Johns Vocational School, other privately owned properties south of the intersection of Landover Road (MD 202), Brightseat Road, and the Woodmore Town.
The sector plan will establish goals, policies and strategies to guide the future growth of the Landover Gateway area. The planning and zoning recommendations will attract quality economic development, identify needed transportation and pedestrian improvements, and ensure efficient use of existing infrastructure and new investments in and around the former Landover Mall site and its vicinity. In so doing, the plan will implement the 2002 General Plan’s recommendation for this area to be a Community Center in the Developed Tier.
