Title A Ordinance for the purpose of establishing a new Subtitle to the County Code that specifies development review and approval procedures and design regulations to ensure and control future transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use development in selected Centers and Corridor Nodes within Prince George’s County, Maryland. Background The proposed legislation establishes a new Subtitle to implement policy guidance of the 2002 General Plan and subsequent Functional Area Plans, Master Plans, Sector Plans, and Transit District Development Plans for Centers and Corridor Nodes. The legislations includes the creation of four new urban center zones and specifies processes, procedures, and regulations for development at selected Centers and Corridor Nodes. The new Subtitle requires the creation of functional overlays to address environmental, transportation, public facilities, development phasing, and historical and archaeological resources, and a Regulating Plan based on the functional overlays and community input that links development on the ground with specific design regulations. The Subtitle would establish an administrative procedure for form-based site plan review after a Regulating Plan has been established for an area. The legislation also provides design regulations to foster pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented, mixed-use development within selected Centers and Corridors Nodes. THIS BILL WAS NOT ENACTED.
