Summary Background:
• The subject application proposes to subdivide 0.392 acres into 5 lots to accommodate five (5) single-family attached residential units (townhouses).
• Staff review is ongoing. This item is scheduled for Planning Committee on December 5, 2023, and will be on Council’s agenda for Action on December 18, 2023.
• The application is a minor subdivision and will not have a Planning Board hearing. The final decision will be made by the Planning Director on or before January 23, 2024.
• As less than 10 townhouses are proposed, it is anticipated that the development will not require a Detailed Site Plan; however compliance with the applicable development standards, landscape manual, and tree canopy coverage ordinance will have to be demonstrated with this PPS.
The subject property is a 0.392-acre (17,077sf) parcel located approximately 200 feet south of the intersection of 29th Avenue and Ager Road at 5713/5715 Ager Road, Hyattsville (Figure 1). The site is currently undeveloped and occupied primarily by a mowed lawn.
The proposal contemplates the subdivision of two adjacent parcels to accommodate five (5) single-family attached dwelling lots along with two parcels (Parcel A and Parcel B) to be conveyed to a future homeowners association. Lots 1 through 5 are proposed to be 20’ x 63’. Parcel A would contain open space area and landscape buffers. Parcel B is proposed to contain an 18-foot-wide private road/alley that would run behind the dwellings and serve as the only direct vehicular access to Ager Road (Figure 2). Dwellings will front on Ager Road, and no driveway access is proposed from the fronting street.
Next Steps:
This item will be scheduled for Action on the December 18 Council agenda.
