The transit district development plan (TDDP)/transit district overlay zone (TDOZ) will guide and control land use and development of all properties at or near the New Carrollton Metro station consistent with transit-oriented development (TOD) principles. The project will be coordinated with neighboring municipalities, WMATA, Maryland Department of Transportation, Maryland Department of Planning, and county agencies.

The New Carrollton Approved Transit District Development Plan and Proposed Transit District Overlay Zoning Map Amendment(March 2009)
This document is the Transit District Development Plan (TDDP) and Transit District Overlay Zone (TDOZ) for the New Carrollton Metropolitan Center and vicinity. The plan contains a comprehensive vision to guide future development within the area. The plan amends the 2002 Prince George's County Approved General Plan and the Prince George's County Zoning Map for those portions of Planning Areas 69 and 72 described as the New Carrollton TDOZ. The TDDP and TDOZ 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 the New Carrollton Metro Station, and increases local tax revenues. The TDDP was initiated through County Council Resolution CR742007 and developed by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission with extensive community input primarily through community planning workshops held in December 2007 and April 2008.
