Department of

Planning & Community Development

OVERVIEW

This Department of Planning & Community Development is organized into three functional areas – planning and zoning, community development, and economic development. The planning program involves the preparation of local plans, as needed, and the coordination of planning efforts with other agencies including the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), and the University of Maryland. Planning staff review and provide recommendations to the City Council on plans, projects, and development applications within the City and vicinity. The Advisory Planning Commission (APC) is supported by the Planning Department and holds public hearings on applications for zoning appeals and departures. The department also applies for and administers funding from local, state and federal sources to enhance the city as a place to live, work and visit.

Current Projects

Age-Friendly Action Plan

 The City of College Park has been accepted into the AARP’s Network of Livable States and Communities Program which requires the adoption of an age-friendly action in certain areas or domains. These areas were selected by the College Park Seniors Committee and include housing, transportation, social participation, health services and community support, and communication and information. A $65,000 technical assistance grant under the Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Communities Program (PAMC) of the M-NCPPC was obtained to hire a consultant team to help perform the work.

Discovery District Multi-Use Transit Access Trail

The City requested and received a technical assistance grant for $60,000 on behalf of the Discovery District Work Group from the Washington Council of Government’ s Transportation Planning Board under their Transportation Land Use Connections (TLC) program. This project will look at the feasibility of providing a pedestrian/bicycle trail to connect the Purple Line stations between East Campus and Riverdale Park.
