The Market and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Potential, Priorities, and Strategies Study will support the Subregion 4 Central Avenue-Metro Blue Line Corridor TOD Implementation Project. Planning at the station level will be formed by corridor-level planning and will include an analysis of the development potential at the following Blue Line Metro Stations: Capitol Heights, Addison Road-Seat Pleasant, and Morgan Boulevard. Development opportunities at the Largo Town Center station are further defined in the 2013 Approved Largo Town Center Sector Plan and Sectional Map Amendment. The Preliminary Subregion 4 Master Plan and Proposed Sectional Map Amendment encourages “medium to medium-high density, mixed-use, transit and pedestrian-oriented development.”

Phase 3 of the Central Avenue Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Mobility Study was initiated in order to investigate needs along the corridor and prepare guidance that would assist the Prince George’s County Planning Department and The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) with implementing the approved Subregion 4 Sector Plan. The effort included an analysis of the existing transportation network including roadways, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities; refinement of feasible transportation solutions; review of existing county design guidelines and policies; and tailoring of broad Complete Streets policies to specifically implement concepts in the study area.

This report summarizes the visioning process and results of a four-month study focused on maintaining the rural character of the Broad Creek Historic District, specifically the Livingston Road corridor between Old Fort Road to the north and Fort Washington Road to the south. The project was carried out under the Planning Department’s FY 1995 Community Preservation and Design Workshops Work Program. This document was prepared as a supporting element to the original Broad Creek Historic District Design Guidelines, produced by the Historic Preservation Section and Broad Creek Historic District Advisory Committee in 1987 and approved by the District Council in 1988. Included in this report is a set of documents and plans that portray the design ideas and goals of the Broad Creek Historic District Advisory Committee and local residents. This report is divided into five parts, each containing photographs, charts, drawings and maps produced through the visioning process and pertaining to the Livingston Road Streetscape. Each part contains information which allows the reader to follow the community visioning process from the beginning of brainstorming ideas to the final design proposals and recommended courses of action. A supplemental appendix section provides plant suggestions for the Livingston Road streetscape.

The Broad Creek Historic District Preservation Planning Study reflects the results of a series of design workshops conducted in 2001 by staff of the Planning and Preservation Section of the Community Planning Division, Planning Department, M-NCPPC, for property-owners, residents and others interested in the future of the Historic District. The study updates a previous planning study, provides a history and architectural survey, and clarifies county policies for protection of the historic district. The study, illustrated with photographs and maps, is divided into five major sections: Section I, the Introduction, explains a chronology of planning efforts in the community and the purpose of the present study. Section II contains a detailed history of Broad Creek from the period of Native American occupation to the end of the twentieth century. Section III contains the Architectural Character and Significance complete with photographs and individual site plans of all buildings in the district. Section IV, Planning Context, discusses environmental features, land use, zoning, transportation, parkland and trails in the district. Section V, Visioning Process and Goals for the Historic District, comprises a review of the process and results of the three design workshops. Four Appendices contain the 1987 Design Guidelines, the Historic District Advisory Committee Rules of Procedure, the Historic Area Work Permit process and other regulations, and the implementation strategies from the 1995 Broad Creek Historic District Livingston Road Streetscape Guidelines.

This report summarizes the findings of an historical/ architectural survey of Brentwood, requested by the Mayor and Council of the Town. The goals of the project were to document the earliest of the historic buildings still standing in the Town, and to prepare a written history of the community’s development with emphasis on the early residents. The Town of Brentwood is located in Prince George’s County, just outside the northeast boundary of the District of Columbia. Development of the community began in the 1890s in areas platted by the Holladay and Brentwood Companies. The first residents were families attracted to the area by the easily accessible transportation to and from work in Washington, D. c., offered by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the City and Suburban streetcar line. The residents of this community incorporated in 1922 as the Town of Brentwood. The report is divided into seven major sections: Pre-Subdivision History, The First Subdivision, The Second Subdivision, Growth and Development of the two Subdivisions, Continued Development, The Development of Community Institutions, and the Period of Incorporation. The report includes background history on the earliest development of the community, and on Captain Wallace A. Bartlett, the principal figure in the development of the first two subdivisions. It describes the expansion of the original subdivision, and the settling of the first families in the newly built homes. It describes and compares the first dwellings erected in the community; it analyzes by building type a representative group of dwellings which survive from the first building period. The report also outlines the establishment of community institutions such as school, church, citizens’ association and firemen’s organization, and describes the community’s development as it approached incorporation in 1922. The report is supplemented by photographs, plats and maps.

This study concerns revitalization of an older community in southern Prince George’s County, located between rapidly developing areas adjacent to MD 5/US 301, and the county’s designated Rural Tier. The Brandywine Revitalization and Preservation study area straddles both the Subregion 5 and Subregion 6 master plans, approved in 2009, and responds to recommendations in those plans that a planning study focus on revitalization in this community. While this older Brandywine community has attributes of a small town and a cluster of historic resources, it lacks other characteristics that would distinguish it as such. The threat is that without a definition of the desired community character and strategies for achieving it, new development, when it arrives in old Brandywine, will subsume it into the suburban fabric of the greater community. The strategies and illustrations in this study are intended to be used as an action plan for community stakeholders to improve the look and function of the public realm, focusing on improving the Brandywine Road streetscape, pedestrian circulation and safety.
