Approved Transit District Development Plan and Transit District Overlay Zoning Map Amendment for the West Hyattsville Transit District Overlay Zone July 2006 Plan This document contains text and maps of the Approved Transit District Development Plan and Transit
District Overlay Zoning Map Amendment for the West Hyattsville
Transit District Overlay Zone. This plan will amend the 1998 West Hyattsville Approved
Transit District Development Plan for the Transit District Overlay Zone and portions of
the 1994 Planning Area 68 Master Plan. Developed by the Commission with the assistance
of the community, this plan contains a comprehensive development vision,
development review process requirements, and form-based development standards and
guidelines. Together, these elements comprise the amended West Hyattsville Transit
District Development Plan (TDDP). It controls and guides the use and development of all
land within the amended Transit District Overlay Zone (TDOZ) from the initial submittal
of plans to the issuance of permits. Together, the TDOZ and TDDP are intended to foster
transit-oriented development that increases the use of public transit, maximizes return
on investment in transit facilities and services, encourages appropriate development near
transit stations with coordinated urban design elements, and increases local tax revenues.
