The Community Learning Sessions will feature Clarion Associates highlighting 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 stronger ways to implement community plans, and new use tables. This is the first step in drafting a 21st Century Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations for Prince George’s County. Copies of draft Module One will be available on the web at zoningpgc.pgplanning.com, and on OpenComment at pgplanning.opencomment.us for public input. This event is FREE and open to the public.

The Prince George’s Zoning Rewrite will update the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations to make development regulations easier to understand, more user-friendly, and supportive of the type of quality development that encourages economic growth for the County. The project will also implement the newly adopted Plan Prince George’s 2035 General Plan, which establishes the vision for how the County hopes to grow.
