Prince George's County Council on Oct. 28 enacted CB 66‑2025, an ordinance amending plan development and zoning map amendment procedures to remove certain filing requirements and to allow submission of subsequent development applications under specified circumstances.
Council members listed the measure’s sponsors at introduction; the ordinance was presented for a public hearing and the clerk reported there were no speakers. After the public hearing concluded, the council moved to enact the bill. Council member Lisonbee moved to enact; Council member Watson seconded. The council approved the ordinance by a recorded vote of 9‑0.
According to the ordinance description read into the record, the change is intended to streamline land‑development administration and to support the county’s affordable‑housing goals by simplifying some aspects of the plan development and map amendment process. The ordinance removes specified filing requirements and permits subsequent development applications under set circumstances; the exact filing requirements removed are detailed in the ordinance text.
The council’s adoption of CB 66‑2025 follows the county’s ongoing efforts to accelerate residential development and reduce procedural barriers. No public testimony was recorded during the hearing.
With enactment, the county’s zoning and plan‑development rules are amended as spelled out in CB 66‑2025. The county clerk will publish the ordinance and take administrative steps to implement the procedural changes in permitting and plan review.
