The Prince George’s Planning Department is excited to announce a series of upcoming community engagement workshops and a survey aimed at assessing the compatibility of the 2022 Zoning Ordinance with desired land use. These initiatives are part of the broader Neighborhood Compatibility Study, which will play a crucial role in shaping the future of our community.
Neighborhood Compatibility Study: What You Need to Know
The study will conduct a comprehensive analysis of various factors affecting our neighborhoods, including:
- Development activity
- Land use patterns
- Economic threats and opportunities
- Environmental considerations
- Flooding issues
- Traffic patterns
- Community perspectives on future growth
This holistic approach ensures that we address all aspects of neighborhood development and sustainability.

Your opinion matters! We invite all stakeholders to participate in our Central US 1 survey, available in both English and Spanish. This survey is a critical tool for gathering community input on the future of our area.

Project Background
In December 2023, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission initiated the Central U.S. 1 Neighborhood Compatibility project by releasing a solicitation for consulting services. Following a thorough selection process, the Commission entered into a contract with Design Collective Inc. on March 22, 2024.
Design Collective Inc. will work closely with the Prince George’s County Planning Department, residents, and key stakeholders over a ten-month period beginning May 2024 to develop this crucial study.
