It also includes an historical overview and a community profile of the development of the communities of the Planning Area. Planning themes which were identified for the Planning Area include community reinvestment, transportation and natural resources. The central theme established for the Plan is to create a supportive and committed partnership among representatives from County and local government, residents and businesses to develop and implement strategies that improve the community. Goals, objectives and recommendations to guide public policy and investment in the Planning Area are presented for the eight major elements of the Plan: residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, industrial employment centers, the transportation and circulation network, the trails system, parks and recreation, natural resources and public facilities. Since a major focus of the Plan is on revitalization, specific recommendations addressing community revitalization needs are presented, including two new zones for the US 1 corridor. Detailed revitalization plans are also presented for the Hyattsville, Mount Rainier and Riverdale Town Centers and for the Brentwood and North Brentwood Industrial Employment District. Specific action steps are identified to implement major plan recommendations. The SMA includes other zoning changes which are also designed to implement the Plan’s recommendations.

This report is the second part of a multiyear study of the rural village of Piscataway. The first part, published in 1991, documented the history of the village, defined its unique character, and proposed design concepts and methods to protect its rural and historic qualities. The purpose of this report is to provide detailed design guidelines to assist the residents of the community in protecting the character of the village. The study was begun in late 1991, and completed in February 1995. This report, as well as the earlier study, was requested by the Historic Preservation Group of the Piscataway Citizens’ Association. The historic Village of Piscataway is located in the southwest portion of Prince George’s County, on Floral Park Road between Livingston Road and Piscataway Road. Of the remaining buildings, the earliest date from the mid-eighteenth century and the most recent from the first half of the twentieth century, all of which retain their significant architectural detail. This report is divided into four primary sections: Background, Historic Preservation in Piscataway, Village Design Guidelines and Conclusions. The report includes a summary of the historical development of Piscataway, an analysis of the village’s existing character, and an overview of existing development regulations and recent development proposals. It also includes an examination of existing preservation regulations affecting the village, as well as a building-by-building review of the village’s historic resources. Design Guidelines are provided for general maintenance, rehabilitation, additions, site improvements, new construction and streetscape improvements.

This report details the findings of a study on the 18th century village of Piscataway, requested by the Piscataway Citizens Association. The goals of the project were 1) to document the history of the village, using land records research and early maps to define the extent and size of the village since its establishment; 2) to define the character of the village; 3) to propose design concepts to guide new construction in order to retain village character; and 4) to propose methods to help retain a buffer zone around the village and the open space within the village. This report begins with a history of Piscataway, including its significance as a port and government tobacco inspection location during the 18th century, and a documentation of the location of its schools and post office. Next, the existing conditions within the village are described and the historic, rural character of the village defined. The architecture of the buildings within the village is discussed and analyzed. Design concepts for sympathetic new construction within the village are proposed and strategies for protection of the open space within and around the village are offered. The report is supplemented by photographs and maps.
