Prince George's County Council convenes June 9; unanimously advances multiple development items
Summary
The council met June 9, 2026, approved prior minutes and unanimously voted to reconsider and refer a Melwood Estates rezoning and to waive review for three development plan amendments in Council District 6, advancing staff preparation of orders and waivers.
The Prince George's County Council, sitting as the district council, convened on June 9, 2026. Chair (speaker 1) opened the session, stating, "This is the county council of Prince George's County." The clerk conducted a roll call that recorded seven members present.
The council approved district council minutes dated April 27, 2026. A motion to approve was seconded by Council Member Hunter and the clerk recorded the vote as unanimous: "Motion carries 7 0." The session then moved through land‑use agenda items focused on applications in Council District 6.
Most substantive action involved land‑use procedures: the council reconsidered a prior rezoning action for Melwood Estates and referred that item to staff to prepare an order for approval with conditions. The council also waived its review of amendments to Oak Creek Club development parcels CDP‑9902 and CDP‑99025 and advanced a conceptual site plan amendment for the Southern Hills mixed‑use development, each by unanimous 7–0 votes.
The meeting adjourned with notice that the council would continue in executive session after the public session.
Why it matters: the votes accelerate staff processing of zoning orders and waivers for multiple development proposals in District 6, moving controversial and large residential and mixed‑use proposals closer to final administrative action or permit review.
