Prince George's County Retail Market Analysis | August 2015 | Report | Prince George's County Retail Market Analysis | The challenge for retail in Prince Georges County pertains to quality more so than quantity. On the surface, the County is not significantly over-retailed relative to the national or regional average retail square feet (SF) per person, but the average productivity (sales per square foot) of that retail space is less than in other comparable counties in the Washington-Baltimore region. New retail centers built since 2006 have demonstrated strong market absorption, but are often cannibalizing the tenants of older shopping centers which show negative net absorption during the same time period. This creates an environment where lower quality tenants can over achieve and locate in better space than they typically would occupy. Local-serving retail centers in Prince Georges County display this phenomenon most often: many community centers contain tenants that would be more appropriately located in neighborhood centers, and neighborhood centers contain tenants that would be more appropriate for unanchored convenience/in-line retail. |

Approved Subregion 5 Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment | July 2013 | Plan | Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment for Subregion 5 (Planning Areas 81A, 81B, 83, 84, and 85A) of Prince George's County, Maryland | This document contains text and maps of the Approved Subregion 5 Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment for Planning Areas 81A, 81B, 83, 84, and 85A. The plan amends the 1993 Approved Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment for Subregion V, Planning Areas 81A, 81B, 83, 84, 85A, and 85B. It also amends the 2002 Prince George's County Approved General Plan. This plan was developed with citizen input during numerous community planning workshops in 20072008. Planning policies in the 2002 General Plan are refined as land use concepts for the Brandywine Community Center and for the Rural Tier. Consistent with policies in the 2002 General Plan, future development is primarily directed toward areas with existing or planned infrastructure and away from areas that are designated to retain rural character. Specific commercial areas in Clinton and Brandywine are designated for future mixeduse, transit- and pedestrian-oriented development suitable for a wide array of public, commercial, employment, and residential land uses. The land use concept for the Brandywine Community Center refines the boundaries of this center identified in the 2002 General Plan, and encourages development centered on a future transit hub. The key planning concept in Accokeek preserves the rural Livingston Road corridor as the focus of the community and recommends low-intensity future development. In the Rural Tier, the future development pattern is planned to minimize impacts to the environment and infrastructure. The plan addresses the subregion's environmental infrastructure, transportation, schools, fire, police, library, parks, recreation, economic development, historic preservation, and scenic roads. The sectional map amendment approved zoning changes to allow implementation of the land use concepts in the master plan. |

Conserving Significant Cultural Landscapes: Protecting the Piscataway and Accokeek Historic Communities and the Mount Vernon Viewshed | March 2013 | Report | This study provides recommendations for conserving the cultural landscape of the rural communities of Piscataway and Accokeek, which are a portion of a significant viewshed across the Potomac River from the porch of Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon, located in Fairfax County, Virginia, is the historic home and Potomac riverfront plantation of George Washington, the nations first president. It is one of the most important historic sites in the nation, receiving more than a million visitors each year, and the view across the Potomac River into southern Maryland is a key element of any visit to the site. The sweeping panorama or viewshed, also called the Mount Vernon Viewshed Area of Primary Concern, covers portions of Prince Georges and Charles Counties, making them important components of the environmental setting of a national historic landmark and a candidate for World Heritage site designation. As seen from Mount Vernon, the Piscataway-Accokeek area has remained largely unchanged since the 18th century while locally under an extensive tree canopy. The area has moved into the 21st century as a rural enclave in Prince Georges County, but development now threatens its cultural and historic integrity. The recommendations of this study focus on facilitating appropriate land development in two rural and historic communities in order to maintain and conserve the tree canopy coverage within the Mount Vernon Viewshed Area of Primary Concern, which would retain the local character and livability of these communities while preserving the historic, cultural landscape view. |

Brandywine Revitalization and Preservation Study | November 2011 | Report | Revitalization and Preservation Strategies for a Community in Brandywine, MD | This study concerns revitalization of an older community in southern Prince George's County, located between rapidly developing areas adjacent to MD 5/US 301, and the county's designated Rural Tier. The Brandywine Revitalization and Preservation study area straddles both the Subregion 5 and Subregion 6 master plans, approved in 2009, and responds to recommendations in those plans that a planning study focus on revitalization in this community. While this older Brandywine community has attributes of a small town and a cluster of historic resources, it lacks other characteristics that would distinguish it as such. The threat is that without a definition of the desired community character and strategies for achieving it, new development, when it arrives in old Brandywine, will subsume it into the suburban fabric of the greater community. The strategies and illustrations in this study are intended to be used as an action plan for community stakeholders to improve the look and function of the public realm, focusing on improving the Brandywine Road streetscape,pedestrian circulation and safety. |

St. Barnabas-Beech Road Industrial Study and Action Plan | June 2010 | Report | st. Barnabas-Beech Road Industrial Study and Action Plan | Located just inside the Capital Beltway and south of Branch Avenue (MD 5), the St. Barnabas-Beech Road study area encompasses a strip commercial corridor and a small industrial center flanked by mid-to-late twentieth century residential and commercial development. As with many of the county's post-World War II commercial areas, new investment has moved away from St. Barnabas Road to farther-out suburbs, leaving behind obsolete commercial buildings, older infrastructure, and a corridor designed primarily for automobiles. The Beech Road industrial area has fared somewhat better since its development in the 1950s, but the proximity of residential development and the southern barrier of Henson Creek and the Capital Beltway has limited the expansion of industrial uses. Many of the industrial area properties also contain older structures, and its public infrastructure shows signs of deterioration. Additionally, development standards of previous decades have created an area with minimal landscaping and screening of operations areas. |

Postbellum Archeological Resources in Prince George's County, Maryland A Historic Context and Research Guide | March 2010 | Research Study | Prince George's County adopted subdivision regulations in 2005 that were intended to ensure that archeological sites deemed significant to understanding the history of human settlement in the county be identified as part of the subdivision review process. Historic sites dating to the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries (circa 18651958) are one of the most common categories of resources identified in archeological surveys in the county, with over 300 examples in the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) site files as of October 2007. However, additional investigations are being recommended at few, if any, of these sites. Still this time period witnessed many changes, including the subdivision of large plantations, significant changes in the relations of production, establishment of African-American-owned farms and communities, new technologies, transportation enhancements, and the growth of suburbia. Nevertheless, the contribution of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century archeological sites to the understanding of these changes in Prince George's County is either unknown or unappreciated. |

Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington Joint Land Use Study | December 2009 | Research Study | Strategically located near Washington, D.C., Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington has supported military air operations since World War II. The air base was originally located on a natural plateau surrounded by rural land populated with small farms. After World War II, rapid suburbanization of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area brought new development to the vicinity of the base, with numerous residential neighborhoods, commercial properties, and public facilities springing into existence during the 1950s and 1960s. Development persisted around the base in the late twentieth century, intensified by the construction of the nearby Capital Beltway and the Green Line branch of Washington's Metro system. New homes and businesses were added to the area as base air operations grew more complex, driven in part by Andrews' proximity to the nation's capital. As suburban growth surrounded the air installation, incompatibilities began to emerge. Homes and businesses were located in active flight paths, subjecting residents, owners, workers, and shoppers to noise impacts and potential safety hazards. |

Greenbelt Historic District Study | April 1994 | Report | This report summarizes the findings of a citizens' study committee brought together to explore various methods of recognizing the significance of the planned community known as "Old Greenbelt." The primary work of the study committee was an examination of the pros and cons of local historic district designation as a means of protecting community character. The study area included those portions of the present-day City of Greenbelt currently listed as an Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places. The study committee included representatives of Greenbelt Homes, Inc., private single-family property owners, members of the City of Greenbelt Advisory Planning Board, and representatives of owners of private, multifamily dwellings. Old Greenbelt is that portion of the present-day City of Greenbelt, designed and constructed as a self-sufficient "new town" between 1935 and 1941; one of three such communities built under the Green Towns Program of the Federal government's Resettlement Administration. Greenbelt is distinguished as the most complete and, more than 50 years later, as the most intact of the Green Towns. As the first American location where the pioneering tenets of the English community planner, Sir Ebenezer Howard, were fully realized, Greenbelt has been the subject of considerable study and served as a model of community planning since before its completion. This report is divided into five primary sections: the Significance of Greenbelt, Existing Regulatory Framework, Goals and Recommendations, Historic District Implementation, and Recommended Course of Action. The report includes a background history of the design and development of the community and a description of its physical character. It includes summaries of planning and land use policies, regulations and designations currently in place. It also includes potential boundaries for a locally designated historic district and a set of design review guidelines for administering such a district.

Mount Rainier Historic District National Register Nomination | June 1989 | Report | This publication documents the architectural and physical character and significance of 1,152 buildings within the Mount Rainier National Register Historic District. The nomination's two primary sections, Description and Statement of Significance, are annotated, and illustrated with photographs and maps. '. The Mount Rainier Historic District is significant as an early, large - and essentially intact example of the type of suburban community that changed the character of western Prince George's County in the early years of the 20th century. The historic district is also significant for its large and diverse collection of vernacular dwellings and commercial buildings erected between c. 1900 and 1939. Most of the district's buildings are modestly scaled, detached, single family, frame houses. Throughout the district, buildings were erected with both subtle and substantial differences. These differences represent the evolution and diversity of vernacular design throughout the early years of the 20th century. In addition, there is an important group of five revival style churches designed by local architects. At least one of the churches is the work of a firm nationally known for its ecclesiastical buildings. The district's period of significance, 1900 to 1939, represents a time of substantial suburban growth for the western portion of Prince George's County as part of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. |

Sears, Roebuck and Company Mail-Order House Survey | April 1988 | Report | From October 1, 1986 through September 30, 1987, the Prince George's County Historic Preservation staff conducted a field survey of Sears, Roebuck and Company mail-order houses in the County. The Sears, Roebuck mail-order house survey and a companion study of Victorian pattern book houses in Prince George's County were comp orients of ongoing research projects of the Prince George's County Historic Preservation Commission, implemented by the Planning Department of M-NCPPC with a matching grant from the Certified Local Government program of the Maryland Historical Trust. This survey of Sears mail-order houses was conducted with the advice and ongoing involvement of Raymond W. Bellamy, Jr., Cheverly Town Historian and Prince George's County Historic Preservation Commissioner from September 1986 through January 1989. Mr. Bellamy became knowledgeable about Sears mail-order houses through his study of the 25 models constructed in the Town of Cheverly. His extensive research on those structures is incorporated into this report. I would like to acknowledge his help and thank him for his assistance on this project. Thanks also goes to the many Sears mail-order house owners who supplied information on their houses for this study, and to members of the Prince George's County Historical Society who "found" and reported on Sears houses in the County for this study. The eighty-two Sears mail-order houses identified during this survey are not the total number of Sears houses standing in the County. More have been identified since this study's completion. Identification and cataloging of Sears and other mail-order houses in the County will be an ongoing project of the Historic Preservation Commission. Some original drawings and text in this report are from Houses by Mail, by Katherine Cole Stevenson and H. Ward Jandl. These include pages 30, 34, 39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 49, 54, 56, 60, 64, 67, 70, 72, 74, 76, 77, 79, 83, 89, 91, 93, 95, 100, 102, 104, 105, 107, 109 and 111 of this study.

Potomac Heritage Trail Map | Special Report | Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail Since 1975 the idea of a trail parallel to the Potomac River has been incorporated into various county trail plans and master plans. These local trail segments contribute to the idea of a continuous route between the Chesapeake Bay 'and the Allegheny Highlands. Responding to such interest, a corridor for a Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail was designated by Congress in 1983 as an amendment to the National Trails System Act. A study of the concept in 1987 examined the feasibility of such a multiuse trail and explored potential routes in Prince George's County, Maryland, between Piscataway Park and the District of Columbia. In 1999 a subcommittee of the Prince George's County's Bicycle and Trails Advisory Group (BTAG) began to explore further routes for both an on-road bicycling route and the potential for trail alignments away from traffic to serve the needs of walkers, joggers, equestrians, and cyclists. |
