Master Plan Evaluation Program
Summer 2022 Master Plan Evaluation Program (MPEP) Project
Staff is currently working on finalizing the Summer 2022 MPEP Project. This project aims to complete the 37 active master/sector plan recommendation databases and progress reports. The project of completing the databases and the project reports were structured in four categories:
- Recommendation Inventory (completed)
- Recommendation Categorization (completed)
- Recommendation Status (ongoing)
- Opportunities/Challenges (ongoing)
Prince George’s County has 37 active area master plans (including sector and transit district development plans). The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (Prince George’s County Planning Department) will regularly evaluate each master plan to determine progress toward implementation, consistency with current County growth policies, and the need for update or replacement.
Program Components
| Description | Status | |
| Phase 1 | Create an inventory of all active plan recommendations. | Completed |
| Phase 2 | Determine the status of all plan recommendations. | Ongoing |
| Phase 3 | Determine which recommendations are no longer valid. Determine which recommendations conflict with Plan 2035. Conduct a qualitative analysis of each plan’s viability moving forward. Create a report for each plan showing general progress toward implementation, highlighting key implementation actions to date, development approval, and construction activity, identifying areas where updates to policies or strategies may be warranted, and identifying next steps. | Ongoing |
| Phase 4 | Geocoding all information gathered. | Future Phase |
