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 2035’s recommendations for Campus Centers around the Adelphi Road Purple Line station. Deliverables will assist Prince George’s 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 County’s 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.
