Adopted West Hyattsville-Queens Chapel Sector Plan and Proposed Sectional Map Amendment

The 2025 Adopted West Hyattsville-Queens Chapel Sector Plan is the proposed sector plan for the southwestern portion of Planning Area 68. Upon approval, the West Hyattsville-Queens Chapel Sector Plan will supersede and replace the 2006 Approved Transit District Development Plan for the West Hyattsville Transit District Overlay Zone in its entirety. This plan will supersede and replace the 1994 Approved Master Plan for Planning Area 68 and the 2004 Approved Sector Plan for the Prince George’s County Gateway Arts District for the portion of Planning Area 68 and the 1989 Approved Master Plan for Langley Park-College Park-Greenbelt and Vicinity for portions of the Northwest Branch Stream Valley Park within Planning Area 65, within this sector. This plan will amend portions of the 2014 Prince George’s 2035 Approved General Plan (Plan 2035) and other countywide functional master plans within the West Hyattsville-Queens Chapel sector.

This sector plan was formulated over a 39-month period, guided by a detailed Public Participation Plan that included meetings with, and feedback from, residents, property owners, business owners, public agencies, and other stakeholders. This sector plan contains the long-term vision for West Hyattsville Queens Chapel, along with goals, policies, and strategies to implement the vision through the eight planning elements identified in Plan 2035. This sector plan is accompanied by a concurrent Proposed Sectional Map Amendment (SMA), which recommends the zoning changes necessary to implement this plan.

The 2025 Adopted West Hyattsville-Queens Chapel Sector Plan recommends directing future residential growth in and adjacent to the Plan 2035-designated West Hyattsville Local Transit Center and the Prince George’s Plaza Regional Transit District. This plan recommends maximizing the potential for transit-adjacent and pedestrian-friendly residential development while mitigating impacts to sensitive environmental features. The plan includes an implementation framework clearly illustrating the timeline, necessary partnerships, and key action items to implement the vision for the West Hyattsville Queens Chapel area over the next 25 years.
