The subject of this analysis (the “study area”) comprises 17.36 acres of approximately 67.5 acres in the Town of Bladensburg in Prince George’s County, Maryland, that was identified in the 2009 Approved Port Towns Sector Plan as the Town Center Character Area. This market feasibility and economic analysis explores if there is a market for mixed-use development in the study area, then tests if redevelopment is financially feasible from a private investor’s perspective. Feasibility is then tested under the County’s prior Zoning Ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance that went into effect April 1, 2022. The analysis has 10 sections. The executive summary summarizes the findings and makes recommendations for next steps. The initial sections describe existing conditions and trends, regional dynamics impacting market potential, and Bladensburg’s strengths and weaknesses. The market analyses follow these sections. Development scenarios are tested for financial feasibility in the final section.

The Prince George’s County Planning Department has been engaged in a work program effort to examine risk and land use compatibility issues around the county’s four general aviation airports: Potomac Airfield in Friendly, Washington Executive Airpark in Clinton, Freeway Airport in Mitchellville, and College Park Airport in College Park. The project is an outgrowth of several aircraft accidents in the neighborhoods close to Potomac Airfield during the mid-1990s and resulting residents’ concerns. To help the staff further understand the issues and risks involved at Potomac Airfield and the other airports in the county, the Planning Department hired a team of aviation consultants to examine safety and land use compatibility issues around each airport, to research what is being done in other jurisdictions, and to recommend state-of-the-art approaches to address issues in Prince George’s County.

To support the new Sector Plan and Sectional Map Amendment, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) hired a consultant team to prepare a market analysis of the Adelphi Road-UMGC-UMD Purple Line Station Area Sector Plan. The Sector Plan will implement the recommendations of Plan 2035 for the UMD West Campus Center by documenting and analyzing existing conditions in the plan area; leading an inclusive community engagement and visioning process; identifying the market potential of the plan area; identifying opportunities to increase and improve access to the nearby transit stations; evaluating stormwater management strategies; and supporting walkable, transit-oriented and transit-supportive development consistent with Plan 2035s recommendations for Campus Centers around the Adelphi Road Purple Line station. Deliverables will assist Prince Georges County Planning Department staff to better align planning with market realities and dynamics and optimize future development opportunities around existing transit stations while creating sustainable, vibrant urban places. The plan will be instrumental in the Countys future land use decisions aimed at positioning the County to attract investments, build its commercial tax base, fund critical services, grow its high-quality job base, and improve the quality of life of existing and future residents.
