PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Goal

  • Implement the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) policies recommended in the Prince George's County General Plan.

Objective

Develop a countywide strategic plan for TOD that will:

  • Identify the opportunities for and challenges to achieving significant TOD at transit facilities -particularly Metrorail and MARC stations-in the county.

  • Identify the best and most applicable TOD practices elsewhere in the metropolitan area and the nation, to find out what market characteristics attract quality TOD, particularly mixed-use development.

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of county regulatory tools, planning and zoning in attracting TOD, and recommend changes where necessary.

  • Develop and recommend a community education and outreach effort to demonstrate to citizens, local officials and other stakeholders how TOD achieves the Smart Growth and other county development objectives in the General Plan.
