The Prince George’s County Planning Department is conducting a comprehensive rewrite of the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations. These laws define how land in certain geographic areas can be used. The current Zoning Ordinance is more than 1,200 pages, inconsistent and difficult to use. Our hope is to create a 21st Century Zoning Ordinance for Prince George’s County, transforming the current zoning code into a more modern and user-friendly ordinance.
Project Goals:
- Streamline and simplify the regulations and development approval process
- Modernize and consolidate our zones and development standards
- Incentivize economic and transit-oriented, mixed-use development
- Protect and enhance stable residential neighborhoods
