This document is the Approved Historic Sites and Districts Plan for Prince George’s County. Policy guidance for this plan came from the 2002 Prince George’s County Approved General Plan. The approved plan updates the 1992 Historic Sites and Districts Plan by including additions to historic sites and resources and a set of goals, policies, and strategies to guide future preservation planning efforts. The plan also contains an initial set of implementation priorities and a proposal for a strategic plan of implementation. Appendices provide updated county and community histories; a summary of historic themes; and lists of cemeteries, organizations, and sources of additional information.

This document contains text and maps of the approved master plan and sectional map amendment for the Henson Creek-South Potomac Planning Areas 76B and 80. This plan supercedes the 1981 Master Plan for Subregion VII and updates the 1984 Approved Subregion VII Sectional Map Amendment. It also amends the 2002 Prince George’s County Approved General Plan and other functional master plans. This plan was developed primarily during a communitywide, seven-day planning charrette. This document provides visions, goals, background, policies and strategies for numerous planning elements. The Development Pattern element generally reinforces the lowdensity character of the planning areas. High-intensity development is encouraged at the National Harbor Metropolitan Center and medium- to high-intensity redevelopment is encouraged at the Oxon Hill Regional Center. There is a strong emphasis on mixed-use, transit- and pedestrian-oriented development patterns in these areas. It also encourages low- to moderate-intensity mixed-use development at designated corridor nodes, activity centers, and other mixed-use areas. The plan recommends enacting conservation subdivision regulations and other flexible standards that place a premium on conserving open areas and protecting environmental features. Land use and urban design concepts and illustrations are included that encourage mixed-use, compact and pedestrian-friendly development. The Areawide Infrastructure element addresses environment, transportation, schools, fire, police, library, parks and trails. The Community Character element addresses economic development, historic preservation, urban design, and revitalization issues. The Implementation section provides short- and long-term implementation strategies and recommends specific properties and areas for future rezoning to achieve the visions and goals for those areas. The General Plan Rural and Developing Tier boundaries are redefined, the corridor along MD 210 is removed, and a new transit corridor along Oxon Hill Road is recommended.

Historic cemeteries contain information on the county’s social, cultural, and historic heritage. Cemeteries provide genealogical data and information on the history of a particular place, religious practice, and lifestyle. They also display the folk art of tombstone carving and preserve the natural features of the landscape. Regrettably, many cemeteries-especially family burial plots-have been abandoned and suffer from neglect. This manual provides information on the types of cemeteries present in Prince George’s County, why it is important to preserve cemeteries, how to develop a cemetery preservation plan, where to look for funding, and how to research and survey historic cemeteries. Guidance is offered on basic preservation techniques, including initial clean-up, regular maintenance, gravestone cleaning, repairs, resetting gravestones, and selecting a skilled conservator. The appendices provide a glossary of terms commonly used in cemetery research, survey, and preservation, how to identify cemetery features, sample survey forms, cemetery laws, and a bibliography. Through this manual, M-NCPPC hopes to bolster local cemetery preservation efforts and generate additional support for the protection of historic burial grounds.
