Next Week: Prince George's County Zoning Rewrite Countywide Listening Sessions (Part One)

============
Part One just reprints as is the email notice from the Prince George's County Planning Department concerning meetings next week, which will kick off the update process for the County's Zoning Code with the aim of rewriting those sections that need changing in the context of the County's economic, land use, transportation, equity, and social concerns and planning for the future.

On Monday, a second entry will discuss the PG process in the context of "lessons learned" from Montgomery County, Maryland's zoning rewrite process--which started in 2009 and culminated in passage in 2014, after hearings throughout 2013 and 2014, and DC's rewrite process, which has been underway since late 2007, with very few sections passed, amid a great deal of contention between the inner and outer city.

During the week of January 26, the Prince George’s County Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations team will hold three listening sessions in North, Central, and South county.
