Provide your Feedback on Module 1 for the NEW Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations

Prince George’s County needs your input TODAY! The creation of a 21st Century Zoning Ordinance for Prince George’s County is well on its way. You are invited to GET INVOLVED and provide your feedback on the first step in drafting a NEW Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations for Prince George’s County. Known as Module 1, this first set of recommendations from a nationally-renown consultant team, led by Clarion Associates, highlights key changes such as updated names and modern standards for a number of the County’s zones, zone district consolidations, new commercial and mixed-use zones that will provide the County with stronger ways to implement community plans, and new use tables that will control what you can do on your property.

YOUR FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT.  Share your thoughts on Module 1 by using an online tool, called OpenComment. It allows you to comment on documents containing the new Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations recommended by Clarion, and to engage in a broad, online community discussion with fellow Prince Georgians from throughout the County. Module 1 is available for feedback on the Prince George’s County Planning Department’s OpenComment homepage. Visit https://pgplanning.opencomment.us/ to access Module 1 today.

Please provide your feedback on Module 1 by February 29, 2016 to ensure consideration as Clarion continues work on the next module (Module 2: Development Standards), expected in Spring, 2016. Comments on Module 1 will still be accepted after this date but will not be fully evaluated until the comprehensive review draft, expected in Fall, 2016.

TAKE THE NEXT STEPS today and join us in creating a 21st Century Zoning Ordinance for Prince George’s Our future depends on it!
