Summary Background:
The Preliminary Adelphi Roads Sector Plan provides a long-term vision for growth in the area surrounding the forthcoming Adelphi Road-UMGC-UMD Purple Line Station. It provides specific goals, policies, and strategies to implement this vision through various planning elements identified in the 2014 Prince George’s 2035 Approved General Plan (Plan 2035).
This sector plan will supersede the 1989 Approved Master Plan for Langley Park-College Park-Greenbelt. The sector plan includes a proposed Sectional Map Amendment (SMA), which outlines necessary zoning changes to implement this plan, as well as an implementation matrix, which outlines timelines and partnerships that are imperative to progressing the plan in the near and long term.
Next Steps:
A joint public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, January 18, 2022. The public comment period will close on February 2, 2022.
