Title
AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING ADMINISTRATION - APPLICATION-SPECIFIC REVIEW PROCEDURES AND STANDARDS -PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING MAP AMENDMENT for the purpose of streamlining land development administration in support of the County’s affordable housing goals by amending Planned Development (PD) Zoning Map Amendments requirements to remove certain filing requirements and allow for the submission of subsequent development applications under certain circumstances.
Background
The Zoning Ordinance details specific actions that applicants must take following the approval of a Planned Development (PD) Zoning Map Amendment but prior to development of the site in the subject PD Zone. This bill removes the requirement that an applicant file copies of the PD Basic Plan and PD Conditions of Approval with the Land Records of Prince George’s County prior to submitting a development application subsequent to the PD Map Amendment.
Additionally, this bill allows these subsequent development applications to be submitted following the issuance of Zoning Hearing Examiner’s recommendation on the underlying PD Map Amendment application. This would allow applicants to file these subsequent applications prior to the District Council public hearing on the PD Map Amendment application. However, these subsequent applications cannot be accepted by the receiving agency prior to the District Council’s order acknowledging the applicant’s acceptance of the conditions of approval of the underlying PD Map Amendment.
