The Prince George’s County Council, sitting as the District Council, voted 6-0 on Feb. 23 to approve ZMA2024002, a rezoning application for the Market at College Park that will allow a planned development of up to 665 multifamily dwelling units near US-1 (Baltimore Avenue).
The council’s clerk summarized the application as a request from Market College Park LLC to rezone about 4.52 acres roughly 635 feet west of the Hartwick Road and Baltimore Avenue intersection in Council District 3 from Regional Transit Oriented Low-Intensity Edge (RTOLE) to Regional Transit Oriented Planned Development (RTO-PD). Planning staff and the zoning hearing examiner had previously recommended approval with conditions.
During the brief hearing, a motion to adopt the prepared order of approval was made by "Mister Danoga" and seconded by Council Member Ivy. The clerk called the roll and the motion carried, recorded as a 6-0 vote. No public opposition was listed on the record.
The approval authorizes the rezoning; the prepared order includes the conditions recommended by staff and the zoning hearing examiner. The council did not elaborate on specific mitigation measures during the session; permit reviews and detailed site-plan approvals remain subject to subsequent administrative and technical review.
The council recorded the action as final at the meeting. Any appeals or related procedural deadlines were noted on the docket; the transcript records the administrative appeal-by and action-by dates, and the item’s history dating back to Park and Planning’s staff report on April 17, 2025, and the zoning hearing examiner’s December 4, 2025 recommendation.
Next steps for the project include required detailed permitting and compliance with the conditions in the approved order. The council did not set a subsequent hearing date for this specific application during the Feb. 23 session.
