10.a. CB-97-2022 - Amendment to Sec. 27-4204. Transit-Oriented/Activity Center HCC-82-FY23
Base Zones
The City Council authorizes the Mayor to send correspondence to the Prince George’s County
Council, sitting as the District Council regarding the proposed amendment to the Prince
George’s County Zoning Ordinance, Section 27-4204 - Transit-Oriented/Activity Center Base
Zones. The correspondence shall reflect the City of Hyattsville’s positions as follows:
· The City of Hyattsville requests the County Council withdraw CB-97-2022, as the
proposed revisions to the County Zoning Ordinance in no way furthers the vision of
transit-oriented development and undermines the transparency of redevelopment with
Local Transit-Oriented zones;
· If the County Council elects to adopt CB-97-2022, the City requests the Council amend
CB-97-2022 to explicitly exempt parcels located within the City of Hyattsville.
· If the County Council’s intent is to further specific redevelopment within certain land
areas within Prince George’s County, it is the City’s recommendation that the County
Council amend CB-97-2022 to limit the CB-97-2022 to those specific parcels or
land-areas.
