Prince George's County routes most major projects through the Planning Board and District Council, with detailed site plans, special exceptions, and preliminary plans forming the core entitlement process. The County Council handles zoning map amendments. Purple Line light rail construction along University Blvd and the FBI headquarters relocation to Greenbelt are driving transit-oriented filings in those corridors. College Park, New Carrollton, and Oxon Hill near National Harbor generate the highest volumes of mixed-use detailed site plan applications. Departure from design standards requests appear frequently for projects in older commercial zones being repurposed for higher-density uses.

Zoning Hearing Examiner - 2026-05-06
The Zoning Hearing Examiner heard a request to validate two permits issued in error for 6313 Joyce Drive, Temple Hills, MD 20748. The permits in question are for a six-foot fence (permit 41406-2018-RGW/O1) and a building addition (permit 37152-2020-RGU) that does not meet the required 20-foot setback, having only 10 feet. The property operates as an eight-resident congregate living facility seeking future expansion to 20 residents via special exception. The hearing examiner left the record open pending submission of a revised site plan and statement of justification.
