District Council approves site plans for Central Industrial Park and Layton Warehouse

Prince George's County Council has taken significant steps towards enhancing local industrial development during its recent meeting on May 5, 2025. The council approved two detailed site plans that promise to revitalize key areas within the district.

The first approval pertains to the DSP 23020 Central Industrial Park, located on East Hampton Avenue. This project, covering 6.3 acres, seeks to modify the list of permanent uses within the Light Industrial I-1 development district overlay. The council's decision, made with a unanimous vote of 7-0, follows a thorough review process, including a hearing held on April 28, 2025. The planning board had previously endorsed the project with conditions on March 20, 2025, indicating strong support from technical staff and planning authorities.

In a related development, the council also approved DSP 24003 for Spacemaker Self Storage, which involves the conversion of an existing 72,114 square foot building into a consolidated storage facility, alongside the construction of a new 58,165 square foot building. This project, located on the east side of West Hampton Avenue, is expected to enhance storage options in the area and is also situated within Council District 6. The approval came after a favorable recommendation from park and planning technical staff on January 15, 2025.

Both projects are set to move forward with specific conditions and are expected to contribute positively to the local economy by increasing industrial capacity and providing new services to residents. The council's actions reflect a commitment to fostering growth and development in Prince George's County, with further reviews and actions scheduled in the coming weeks.
