The 2026 Preliminary Port Towns Sector Plan proposes a new sector plan for portions of Planning
Areas 68 and 69. Upon approval, it will fully replace the 2009 Approved Port Towns Sector Plan. In
addition, this plan will amend portions of the 2014 Plan Prince George’s 2035 Approved General Plan
(Plan 2035) and other relevant countywide functional master plans.
This sector plan was developed over 24 months with significant public input, including meetings and
feedback from residents, property owners, business owners, public agencies, and stakeholders. The
result is a long-term community vision for the Port Towns area along with goals, policies, and strategies
to implement this vision.
The plan prioritizes directing growth and development to the Plan 2035 designated Neighborhood
Center and targeted opportunity sites. It aims to promote transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly
development while preserving the natural environment. The implementation framework provides a
clear timeline, identifies key partnerships and funding sources, and outlines action items to guide
development over the next 20 years.
This sector plan is accompanied by a concurrent Proposed Sectional Map Amendment and
recommends zoning changes necessary to implement the communitywide vision and plan.
