New Carrollton Transit District Development Plan(TDDP) and Transit District Overlay Zone(TDOZ)

The Transit District Development plan process of Prince George's County Planning Department is uniquely different because it is a legislated process determined by the Prince George’s County Council. The County’s legislation provides a flexible timeline for TDDP/TDOZ plans to be completed after plan initiation. The New Carrollton TDDP/TDOZ initiated during the winter of 2007. Once a plan is initiated, planning staff are required to meet certain milestones include community workshops, completion of a preliminary draft of the plan, and public hearings held by the Planning Board and County Council. With a plan initiation date in spring 2008, County Council will encourage M-NCPPC staff to complete the plan by late 2009.
