Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail Since 1975 the idea of a trail parallel to the Potomac River has been incorporated into various county trail plans and master plans. These local trail segments contribute to the idea of a continuous route between the Chesapeake Bay ‘and the Allegheny Highlands. Responding to such interest, a corridor for a Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail was designated by Congress in 1983 as an amendment to the National Trails System Act. A study of the concept in 1987 examined the feasibility of such a multiuse trail and explored potential routes in Prince George’s County, Maryland, between Piscataway Park and the District of Columbia. In 1999 a subcommittee of the Prince George’s County’s Bicycle and Trails Advisory Group (BTAG) began to explore further routes for both an on-road bicycling route and the potential for trail alignments away from traffic to serve the needs of walkers, joggers, equestrians, and cyclists.

This document contains text and maps of the approved transit district development plan (TDDP) and transit district overlay zoning map amendment for the Capitol Heights Metro Station and vicinity. This plan contains a new TDOZ and transit district overlay zone (TDOZ) and amends portions of the 1993 Approved Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment for Landover and Vicinity (Planning Area 72) and the 1986 Approved Master Plan for Suitland-District Heights and Vicinity, Planning Areas 75A and 75B. Developed by M-NCPPC with the assistance of the community, this plan contains a comprehensive development vision, development review process requirements, and form-based development standards and guidelines. Together, these elements comprise the Capitol Heights Transit District Development Plan (TDDP). It controls and guides the use and development of all land within the Transit District Overlay Zone (TDOZ) from the initial submittal of plans to the issuance of permits. Together, the TDOZ and TDDP are intended to foster transit-oriented development that increases the use of public transit, maximizes return on investment in transit facilities and services, encourages appropriate development near transit stations with coordinated urban design elements, and increases local tax revenues.

The Approved Branch Avenue Corridor Sector Plan and Sectional Map Amendment comprises text, maps, illustrations, and pictures. The sector plan amends portions of the 2000 Approved Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment for the Heights and Vicinity (Planning Area 76A) and the 2002 Prince George’s County Approved General Plan. Developed with broad public participation, this document presents background information, the vision for the area, and a discussion of the five elements that frame the vision-Land Use and Economic Development, Design and Appearance, Infrastructure to Support the Plan, Quality of Life, and Community Involvement. The plan recommends the designation of the Naylor Road Metro Station as a Regional Center with a mixed use, high-density residential/office/retail land use classification, and the Iverson-Marlow Heights Mixed-Use Center as a node on the Branch Avenue Corridor with a mixed-use, medium-density residential/office/ retail land use classification. The plan contains policies and strategies for land use, economic development, urban design, parks and recreation, transportation systems (including roadways, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and trail facilities), revitalization, public safety, and community involvement. The overall objective of these policies and strategies is to revitalize and redevelop the sector plan area, thereby improving its visual appeal and providing pedestrian- and transit-oriented, mixed-use development that will create a positive sense of place and attract new residents, quality retail, and jobs while preserving and strengthening the existing residential neighborhoods. The sectional map amendment (SMA) contains zoning changes to allow implementation of the plan vision and the land use concepts in the sector plan.
