The 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan is the approved area master plan for Planning Areas 71A, 71B, 74A, and 74B. The Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan supersedes the 2006 Approved Master Plan for Bowie and Vicinity and the 2010 Approved Bowie State MARC Station Sector Plan. This plan amends portions of the 2014 Plan Prince George’s 2035 Approved General Plan (Plan 2035) and other Countywide functional master plans within Planning Areas 71A, 71B, 74A, and 74B. This master plan was formulated over a 17-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 master plan contains the community’s vision for Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity along with goals, policies, and strategies to implement the vision through the eight planning elements identified in Plan 2035 as well as an additional element, Comprehensive Zoning. The 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan recommends directing future growth to the Plan 2035-designated Bowie Local Town Center (at the US 50/301 and MD 3 interchange) and Bowie State University MARC Campus Center, expanding economic development opportunities along MD 450 at Free State Shopping Center/Bowie Marketplace, and the Collington Local Employment Area, revitalizing Old Town Bowie, and strategically investing along US 301/MD 3, MD 450, and MD 197. The plan recommends preserving rural character and sensitive environmental features within the County’s Rural and Agricultural Area. The plan includes land use concepts and illustrative sketches for parts of Bowie Local Town Center, Bowie State University MARC Campus Center, Old Town Bowie, and Free State Shopping Center/Bowie Marketplace. The plan also includes an implementation matrix, clearly illustrating the timeline, and necessary partnerships to implement the vision for Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity over the next 25 years.

County Council The County Council has three main responsibilities in the planning process: (1) setting policy, (2) plan approval, and (3) plan implementation. Applicable policies are incorporated into area plans, functional plans, and the general plan. The Council, after holding a hearing on the plan adopted by the Planning Board, may approve the plan as adopted, approve the plan with amendments based on the public record, or disapprove the plan and return it to the Planning Board for revision. Implementation is primarily through adoption of the annual Capital Improvement Program, the annual Budget, the water and sewer plan, and adoption of zoning map amendments.

Foreword The Prince George’s County Planning Board of The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission is pleased to make available the 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan. This plan: • Provides a vision for the City of Bowie and portions of the Mitchellville and Collington areas and describes how the plan area will grow and evolve over the next 25 years. • Recommends creation of a university-focused, mixed-use community at the Bowie State University MARC Campus Center. • Identifies strategies to achieve economic success for this area of Prince George’s County by recommending an increased mix of land uses at the Bowie Local Town Center, expanding economic development opportunities at the Free State Shopping Center/Bowie Marketplace area along MD 450 (Annapolis Road) and at the Collington Local Employment Area, revitalizing Old Town Bowie, and strategically investing along US 301/MD 3 (Robert Crain Highway), MD 450 (Annapolis Road), and MD 197 (Collington/Laurel Bowie Road). • Recommends expansion of employment opportunities in critical growth industries, such as health care, higher education, and transportation, logistics, and warehousing, at Bowie Local Town Center, BSU MARC Campus Center, and the Collington Local Employment Area. • Recommends the creation of a more diverse housing stock that attracts new residents while retaining existing ones. • Recommends continued preservation and protection of important environmental resources and scenic, rural, and agricultural areas. This is a comprehensive master plan that contains recommendations for Land Use and Comprehensive Zoning, Economic Prosperity, Transportation and Mobility, Natural Environment, Housing and Neighborhoods, Community Heritage, Culture, and Design, Healthy Communities, and Public Facilities specific to Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity, and a matrix that identifies the time frame and responsible entities for implementation. The plan is organized by plan element and then further organized by geographic area, with policies and strategies applicable to the entire plan area, followed by policies and strategies applicable to Plan 2035 Growth Policy Areas and Centers, and other policies and strategies applicable to key opportunity areas and corridors. The Prince George’s County Planning Board and the District Council held a duly advertised joint public hearing on October 4, 2021 to solicit comments from property owners and residents. All comments and recommendations presented at the public hearing became a matter of public record. The Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan was approved by the District Council on March 8, 2022.

History of Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Development History The Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan area has seen two major periods of sustained development. The first period saw the development of Belair at Bowie built by Levitt & Sons, which began in the late 1950s and concluded in the early 1970s. The Belair at Bowie development is characterized by uniform single-family detached houses built on quarter-acre to half-acre lots. A second and more sustained building boom began in the mid-1980s, lasting until the Great Recession in 2008. These two periods significantly shaped the development pattern of the plan area, which is primarily occupied by low-density residential uses, rural and agricultural uses, and parks and open space. Although low-density residential has been the primary land use, occasional high-density residential projects were constructed, such as Heather Ridge (1987), The Willows (2004), and The Bowen (2014). Several multifamily and townhouse developments exist within the plan area, and more have been approved in several locations to meet the growing national and regional demand. Since 2012, much of the development has continued to be very lowdensity residential housing (<3.5 dwelling units per acre [DU/A]) such as Collingbrook Estates (2014) and Oak Creek (2014).
Significant Locations BELAIR AT BOWIE (LEVITT & SONS) The Belair at Bowie community was developed in seven phases over a 20-year period. Each phase created a new community, including Meadowbrook, Tulip Grove, Somerset, Foxhill, Buckingham, Kenilworth, and Heather Hills. It is considered a late example of Levitt & Sons’ suburban development. By
the time of its construction, its development style had been emulated by other developers across the country, diminishing its historical significance. This development style is marked by curvilinear streets, homogeneous housing, staggered setbacks, manicured lawns, and primarily quarter-acre plots. Various housing models ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet were offered to future residents. Overall, much of the historic fabric has been altered by housing additions, window replacements, the remodel of garages for additional living space, and the mitigation of asbestos shingles and siding.1 However, its significance should not be overlooked as the County’s second bedroom community constructed outside of the Capital Beltway.
BOWIE STATE UNIVERSITY Bowie State University (BSU), the oldest Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in Maryland, was founded in 1865 by the Baltimore Association for the Moral and Educational Improvement of Colored People. The school relocated to its current site in 1908 and changed its name to Maryland Normal and Industrial School at Bowie in 1914. Around 1911,2 the Pennsylvania Railroad opened a commuter rail station in Old Town Bowie; this station closed and reopened as the Bowie State MARC Station on the MARC Penn Line in 1989.3 The school originally focused on twoyear degrees but expanded its offerings to three-year degree programs in 1925. In 1963, the school began a liberal arts program and changed its name to Bowie State College.4 As BSU evolved and expanded its educational opportunities to include graduate studies, the school changed its name to Bowie State University.5 As of 2020, the school has a population of 6,171 students (5,227 undergraduates and 944 postgraduates) and offers 22 undergraduate majors, 19 master programs, and two doctoral programs.

FAIRWOOD
Segregation—Belair at Bowie Built in the era of the Civil Rights Movement, Belair of Bowie was unsurprisingly segregated, becoming an all-White community as it developed. Like many suburban neighborhoods from this time, African Americans were blatantly and unapologetically denied access to purchase homes. Even when pressured by an executive order under John F. Kennedy, Jr. in 1962, Founder William Levitt still failed to take the directive to prevent discrimination based on race or color in developments that received federal financial assistance, citing that it would be bad economically, and that business decisions would be based on strategy rather than sociological and moral questions. These harsh practices were met with protests on the streets of Bowie and sit-ins at the model homes by activists and civil rights groups. Still change did not come easily, it was not until the weeks leading up to the approval of the Fair Housing Act on April 11, 1968, that Levitt and Sons, lifted their discriminatory stance, which at this point many considered to be an empty gesture after of decade of discrimination and vitriol toward African Americans.* *Source: https://boundarystones.weta.org/2020/06/12/belair-bowiesegregated-suburbia
Fairwood is one of the largest master planned communities in Prince George’s County. Fairwood was built on the site of Fairview Plantation; established about 1800 by Baruch Duckett,6 Fairview was one of the largest slave-holding plantations in the County.7 The associated plantation house, also named Fairview, is centrally located in the development on a 9.9-acre site. The Federal/Greek Revival style house is a designated County historic site.8 The Fairwood property was sold to the now-defunct Rouse Company in the 1980s. The construction of the Fairwood community began in 2005 under new ownership and continues today.

Collington Center, known as Collington Trade Zone, was first identified for an airport in the 1970 master plan. The airport was never constructed, and the area was reclassified in 1975 to the E-I-A (Employment and Institutional Area) zone, which allows for lightindustrial and flexible commercial land uses. Collington was designated as a foreign trade zone in 1980, a designation which has since expanded to the entire County. The construction of the industrial park began in 1984 and was substantially built out by 1993. A few smaller parcels within the Collington Trade Zone can still be developed. The proposed National Capital Business Park immediately southwest of Collington Trade Zone would add 3.5 million square feet of industrial space, focusing on transportation, logistics, and warehousing.

Old Town Bowie, originally named Huntington City, is a railroad town platted in 1870. The Baltimore and Potomac Railway Company extended rail operations to Huntington on July 2, 1872. With the advent of the railroad came a growing population; by 1880, the town was home to about 60 families. The town was incorporated in 1916 and the name changed to Town of Bowie as a tribute to the train station named after Maryland’s Governor Oden Bowie (1869-1872). A fire in 1910 that started in one of the local hotels9 destroyed most of the original station buildings. They were quickly rebuilt and operated until 1989, when the station10 was closed with the reopening of the Bowie State MARC Station. Businesses in Old Town Bowie began to struggle with fewer visitors. The town has only minimally changed since this time—only a few small businesses and Bowie Railroad Museum attract visitors today.
Expanding Job Market
Railroad Town
In 2020, Target acquired a 762,000-square-foot distribution center at 15900 Leeland Road (Tax ID 5509894) that is anticipated to bring additional jobs to the plan area.
A railroad town is a settlement developed around a railway station. The station is the catalyst for the town’s construction. Many towns were developed by the railroad, or a real estate subsidiary of a railroad.

Planning Background Plan 2035
ESTABLISHED COMMUNITIES POLICY AREA
A comprehensive 20-year general plan, the 2014 Plan Prince George’s 2035 Approved General Plan (Plan 2035) articulates a shared vision for making Prince George’s County a competitive force in the regional economy, a leader in sustainable growth, a community of strong neighborhoods and municipalities, and a place where residents are healthy and engaged. Plan 2035 specifies indicators of success and growth management targets to measure progress toward the vision and goals described in Plan 2035.
Plan 2035 classifies existing residential neighborhoods and commercial areas served by public water and sewer outside of the Regional Transit Districts and Local Centers as Established Communities. Established Communities are most appropriate for context-sensitive infill and low- to medium-density development. This policy area makes up most of the land area in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity.
Plan 2035 seeks to strategically direct growth to designated Regional Transit Districts and Local Centers. Plan 2035 identified 26 Local Centers and eight Regional Transit Districts. The eight Regional Transit Districts are high-density, vibrant, and transit-rich mixed-use areas envisioned to capture most future residential and employment growth and development in Prince George’s County (see Plan 203511 for more information about Plan 2035 Centers).
CENTERS Local Centers are focal points of concentrated residential development and limited commercial activity serving the County’s Established Communities (see below). A location’s center designation is based on its access or proximity to high-capacity transit services, universities, or significant public and private investments in infrastructure. Plan 2035 further categorizes Local Centers into Local Transit Centers, Neighborhood Centers, Town Centers, and Campus Centers. The Plan contains two Local Centers within its boundaries, Bowie Local Town Center and Bowie State University MARC Campus Center. Town Centers are predominantly automobile accessible and anchor larger suburban areas; they are less intense than other center types. They generally have a walkable core and a mix of uses. Campus Centers are transit accessible with low- to medium-density, mixed-use development oriented toward supporting university research as well as community and student housing and retail needs.
COUNTY’S GROWTH BOUNDARY AND RURAL AND AGRICULTURAL POLICY AREA Plan 2035 demarcates a growth boundary where development beyond the boundary is restricted through zoning and other preservation tools to very low-density residential development on well and septic systems. This area is called the Rural and Agricultural Policy Area. This is where significant natural and agricultural resources are found and where agricultural activity, and forest preservation are encouraged. Property in this area is often preserved through Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF) and Historic Agricultural Resources Preservation Program (HARPP) easements. The boundary is also meant to provide an outer limit on the urban growth of the County and to encourage infill development within the centers.
EMPLOYMENT POLICY AREA Plan 2035 designates Employment Policy Areas that have the highest concentrations of economic activity in the County’s four targeted industry clusters—health care and life sciences; business services; information, communication, and electronics (ICE); and the federal government. Plan 2035 recommends continuing to support business growth in these geographic areas—in the targeted industry clusters—concentrating new business development near transit where possible, improving transportation access and connectivity, and creating opportunities for synergies. Bowie Local Town Center is designated an Employment Area.

Rural and Agricultural Area Policy The policy of Prince George’s County is articulated by Strategy 1.10 of the 2017 Rural Character Conservation Plan, part of the 2017 Approved Resource Conservation Plan: A Countywide Functional Master Plan, which directs the County to “(m)aintain the size and configuration of the Rural and Agricultural Area in perpetuity and do not reduce the size for any reason.” Most of the area east of US 301/ MD 3, Race Track Road, and surrounding Bowie State University is a critical and well-preserved portion of the County’s Rural and Agricultural Area.
Campus Center In the context of a Campus Center, “low- to mediumdensity, mixed-use development” means development that is still dense and walkable, but at lower densities than a typical transit-oriented development around a Metro station. Campus Centers were envisioned by Plan 2035 to have an average net housing density of about 10-15 dwelling units per acre and floor area ratios between 0.5 and 3.
Master Plan Evaluation Program Prince George’s County has 38 active area master plans (including sector and transit district development plans). M-NCPPC will regularly evaluate each master plan to determine progress toward implementation, consistency with current County growth policies, and the need for update or replacement. The program includes four phases: 1.
Creating an inventory of all plan recommendations.
2.
Determining the status of each plan recommendation to date.
3.
Creating a scorecard for each plan showing general progress toward implementation, highlighting key implementation actions, development approval and construction activity, identifying areas where updates to policies or strategies may be warranted, and identifying next steps.
4.
Geocoding where recommendations have been implemented.
What’s in a Name? This plan contains references to Bowie Local Town Center and Bowie Town Center. Bowie Local Town Center is a designated Plan 2035 Center where planned growth is concentrated. Bowie Local Town Center includes areas along the MD 197 (Collington Road) corridor between US 50 (John Hanson Highway) and US 301 (Robert Crain Highway) and the Melford area northeast of the US 50/US 301/MD 3 interchange. Bowie Town Center is an outdoor retail center at 15400/15606 Emerald Way within the designated Bowie Local Town Center.
Plan 2035 designated the area northwest of the Bowie State MARC Station as the Bowie MARC Campus Center. This name, although accurate, obscures the critical role played by Bowie State University (BSU) in the past, present, and future of this planned university-centric community. This master plan adds the BSU campus to this Center and recommends renaming the Center the Bowie State University (BSU) MARC Campus Center in recognition of BSU’s importance to the region.
The Collington Local Employment Area is a focus area defined by this plan and not included as part of the Plan 2035 designated Employment Areas. However, it is a major employment hub with job growth potential. This area consists of the developable area west of US 301, east of the CSX rail line, south of the South Lake development, and north of Leeland Road. It includes the current employment area known as the Collington Trade Zone, the proposed National Capital Business Park, and surrounding properties. This plan wants to emphasize this opportunity and has renamed this area the Collington Local Employment Area. Source—Photo by: M-NCPPC
2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022 • 23
Previous Plan Summary 2006 APPROVED MASTER PLAN FOR BOWIE AND VICINITY The 2006 Approved Master Plan for Bowie and Vicinity envisioned four existing commercial areas including Bowie Main Street, Old Town Bowie, West Bowie Village, and Pointer Ridge as mixed-use activity centers suitable for a wide array of public, commercial, employment, and residential land uses. The plan recommended flexible zoning regulations be enacted to preserve rural character and sensitive environmental features. While some retail and residential construction has occurred since 2006, the Great Recession of 2007-2009 and continuing real estate market trends toward new construction and walkable, amenity-rich locations have limited market interest in most of BowieMitchellville and Vicinity. In the 21st Century, employers and highly skilled workers increasingly desire living and working in amenity-rich, walkable communities with transit access to jobs, educational opportunities, and other entertainment/recreational amenities. Meanwhile, the vision for the Bowie Regional Center was predicated on high-frequency transit (i.e., bus rapid transit or light rail) access to job centers, such as Washington, D.C. Such transit service is cost-prohibitive and extending such service to new areas creates a “chicken-or-egg” scenario: it is extremely difficult to secure transit funding to new locations that do not have transit-supportive densities, and transit-supportive densities without transit are politically unpopular and often exacerbate traffic congestion.
2010 APPROVED BOWIE STATE MARC STATION SECTOR PLAN The 2010 Approved Bowie State MARC Station Area Sector Plan envisioned a set of vibrant neighborhoods with active, pedestrian-oriented streets and a small “college town” character at the heart of a broader picturesque, rural community. There has been no plan-envisioned construction to date. Implementation challenges for both plans include the lack of density to support amenities, pre-recession assumptions about the real estate market, lack of highfrequency transit access to job centers, and Bowie State University’s remote location. However, there are several implementation opportunities including a municipal partnership with the City of Bowie, Bowie State MARC Station Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) transit-oriented development (TOD) Designation, and the US 301 upgrade to a full, limited-access freeway.
One area of success comes not as a result of the original master plan; Plan 2035 amended the 2006 master plan by re-defining the nature of the Bowie Regional Center, reclassifying it as the Bowie Local Town Center. Plan 2035 added Melford to this Center and changed its recommended buildout from the master plan-recommended 866 dwelling units to the 10 to 60 dwelling units per acre appropriate for new construction in a Town Center. Since 2014, Melford has added 140 units of assisted living construction.

Legal Context
Countywide Map Amendment
This master plan supersedes the 2006 Approved Master Plan for Bowie and Vicinity and the 2010 Approved Bowie State MARC Station Sector Plan. It also amends the 2014 Plan Prince George’s 2035 Approved General Plan (Plan 2035), the 2009 Approved Countywide Master Plan of Transportation (MPOT), and Formula 2040: Functional Master Plan for Parks, Recreation and Open Space (2013). See Appendix B. Plan 2035 and Functional Master Plan Amendments for a list of specific amendments to functional master plans and Appendix E. Functional Master Plan and Recent Other Relevant Plans and Studies for a list of key recommendations that apply to the master plan area found in the County’s nine functional master plans. This area master plan is informed by several recent plans and studies conducted by partner agencies since 2016, also listed in Appendix E.
In 2020, the Planning Department proposed a Countywide Map Amendment (CMA) to update the County Zoning Map with the 2018 Zoning Ordinance zones. This master plan was developed assuming approval of the proposed CMA and can only be implemented by the zones in the 2018 Zoning Ordinance. Since the approval of this master plan, on March 8, 2022, the new zoning ordinance has taken effect as of April 1, 2022. Visit zoningpgc.pgplanning.com for more information about the 2018 Zoning Ordinance and the Countywide Map Amendment.
This master plan was prepared pursuant to the procedures of Subtitle 27 of the Prince George’s County Code, the Zoning Ordinance, as it existed on July 1, 2021. In 2018, the Prince George’s County Council adopted a new Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Regulations, and Landscape Manual that will go into effect upon the Council’s approval of a Countywide Zoning Map Amendment (CMA). Although the CMA has not yet been adopted as of the effective date of this plan, the land use and zoning recommendations were evaluated and prepared pursuant to the language in the new 2018 Zoning Ordinance (including the approved Countywide Map Amendment), Subdivision Regulations, and Landscape Manual as they existed on July 1, 2021. Other provisions of the County Code affecting the use and development of land considered in the preparation of this plan include, but are not limited to: Table 1.

Community Engagement Public participation is an essential element in the preparation of successful comprehensive master plans. The public and key stakeholders, such as elected and appointed officials, property owners, business owners, community leaders, students, and workers provide onthe-ground eyes and ears that can identify key issues of importance, critical feedback on the feasibility or desirability of plan recommendations, and support for plan approval and implementation. Well-informed stakeholders are key to the success of a public engagement program.
VIRTUAL KICKOFF MEETING On June 13, 2020, the Prince George’s County Planning Department held the virtual kickoff meeting to discuss the initiation of a new master plan for the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan area. This meeting included 278 attendees.
VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETINGS M-NCPPC staff and the consultant team held twelve virtual public meetings from June 2020 through December 2020. The meetings were well attended with a large percentage of new participants each time.
Section 27-643 of the Zoning Ordinance requires submittal of a public participation program for District Council review and approval. The approved public participation plan for the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan includes use of traditional and electronic media to quickly gather and disseminate information, interviews with key stakeholders and partner agencies, a field office presence, surveys, and briefings to decision makers.
KEY STAKEHOLDER/FOCUS GROUP MEETINGS Staff held 18 meetings (virtual and inperson) with multiple stakeholders including Bowie State University, the City of Bowie, key property owners, agency partners, and others to identify major issues, challenges, and opportunities in the planning area.

Public and Stakeholder Engagement: Key Takeaways This plan reflects interviews with key stakeholders and partner agencies, online office hours with residents, community surveys, community chats, student focus groups, and briefings with decision-makers and elected officials. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional methods of outreach were modified in March 2020 to a strictly online environment. Methods included virtual meetings and discussion groups, online surveys, frequent website, social media, and email updates, and posting documents online for public comment.
Land Use and Comprehensive Zoning Participant residents expressed concerns regarding new development in the area. Their top concern was the development of new apartments and condos, such as those proposed at the former Sears site at Bowie Town Center and at Bowie Marketplace shopping center. Residents preferred to enliven these two destinations through nonresidential land uses such as shops and restaurants. Many residents were also worried about the future land use of the site of the canceled Bowie ice rink project (4151 Church Road, Tax ID 3665791).
Economic Prosperity One frequent concern raised by residents throughout the County is a desire for easier access to retail, restaurants, and other amenities closer to home. More specifically, participants expressed a desire to strengthen the quality of retail options at Bowie Town Center.
Transportation and Mobility Participant residents noted pedestrian and bicycle safety concerns around the shopping centers along US 301 (Robert Crain Highway) and MD 450 (Annapolis Road), as well as along Church Road, which has less pedestrian traffic but has proven difficult to traverse for some residents. The avid bicycle enthusiast community in the plan area commends the existing trail network but laments the lack of bicycle lanes along the major corridors and would like to see the expansion of this type of infrastructure and the construction of the many planned but unbuilt trails.
Natural Environment Participant residents expressed concerns about removing trees as new development occurs; addressing the area’s impact on climate at the local level; and mitigating stormwater runoff in new and existing developments and areas perceived to be prone to flooding.
Housing and Neighborhoods Some aging residents want to downsize and stay in their neighborhoods, but the plan area does not offer the housing types (apartments, condos, or townhouses) that meet their needs and budget. Bowie State University leadership and students also identified a shortage of student housing near campus. Student survey responses showed most students live off campus but would prefer to live on or near campus.
Community Heritage, Culture, and Design Some stakeholders desire increased tourism and visitation opportunities in Old Town Bowie that celebrates the history of Old Town Bowie with various events and spurs an Arts and Entertainment District.
Healthy Communities Some participant residents expressed concerns that certain locations in the plan area lack access to fresh, healthy foods through supermarkets. Residents in the northern portion of the plan area have specifically expressed frustration that the closure of a grocery store at Bowie Plaza (6948 Laurel Bowie Road) has forced them to travel father south on MD 197 to buy groceries. Many in the community would also like additional urban agriculture opportunities and farmers markets.
Public Facilities Stakeholders expressed a desire for more athletic fields and courts and the introduction of multigenerational spaces that cater to the entire family. Stakeholders also expressed concerns about the impact of new development on school capacity.

Major Opportunities and Challenges During development of this plan, the project team conducted a comprehensive analysis of existing conditions in the plan area and its opportunities and challenges. The project team also analyzed the prior applicable area master plans. Additional details of this analysis can be found on the Department’s website.12
Land Use
CHALLENGES
• As properties within the Plan 2035 Growth
Boundary are developed, pressure may increase to develop outside the Growth Boundary.
• The prevalence of low-density, single-family
detached housing creates challenges in attracting much-desired retail amenities to the area.
• Bowie State University has a student housing
OPPORTUNITIES
• Bowie Local Town Center is surrounded by
neighborhoods that offer a mix of housing types that can be expanded upon to attract and support commercial offerings as it transforms into a mixed-use center.
• Bowie Local Town Center is positioned to attract new residents that range in age and income by offering different housing types and amenities.
• BSU MARC Campus Center has ample land
adjacent to a commuter rail station and major regional university that can be developed with a mix of uses, including university-related uses, housing for commuters, university employees, and students, and supportive retail.
• At Bowie Marketplace, Superior Lane can
become a boulevard connecting to Free State Shopping Center.
• MD 450, between Free State Shopping Center
and Bowie Marketplace, can be transformed into a vibrant pedestrian-friendly destination with a strong sense of place.
• Old Town Bowie can be revitalized through strategic infill development and adaptive building reuse.
• Aging retail centers can be revitalized with a mix of uses under the Commercial, General, Office (CGO) zone.
• Collington Local Employment Area is poised to
shortage, making it difficult to expand, accommodate, and attract students who do not want to commute to school.
Comprehensive Zoning OPPORTUNITIES
• The 2018 Zoning Ordinance contains zones that
allow maximum flexibility for property owners to respond to the evolution of the real estate market.
• Reclassification of several properties within this
plan area will lead to speedier implementation of Plan 2035’s and this plan’s vision.
• Different zones allow context-sensitive
development at a variety of intensities, which creates a better transition between uses.
CHALLENGES
• The Legacy Comprehensive Design (LCD) Zone
requires a lengthy, three-stage development process (comprehensive design plans, preliminary plans of subdivision, and specific design plans).
• The continuation of validity periods for
development applications since 2007 coupled with the prevalence of property-specific provisions within the old Zoning Ordinance may lead to unintended or no-longer-desirable types or intensities of development.
become an important regional economic and employment hub along an increasingly vital highway corridor.

Economic Prosperity OPPORTUNITIES
• Strong demand for private office space driven by tenants in the health care and social assistance sector, including clinicians and medical technology support.
• Bowie Town Center, part of Bowie Local Town
Center, presents opportunities to encourage nearby employees from Inovalon and the UM Bowie Health Center to shop, dine, and socialize near their place of work. Additionally, this presents an opportunity to attract a health care technology hub.
• Bowie Local Town Center and BSU MARC Campus Center can be positioned to attract new tenants that generate economic growth and increase the area’s regional competitiveness.
• Increasing housing at Bowie Local Town
Center and Free State Shopping Center/Bowie Marketplace may sustain existing retail and attract new retail, potentially diminishing the spending gap.
• The Collington Local Employment Area
possesses several competitive advantages— geographic positioning, nonretail employment concentrations, and specialized industries— for attracting industry tenants in the region, especially for the warehousing, transportation, and logistics industry.
• Aging retail centers present revitalization
opportunities to help strengthen rents and attract tenants.
• The Bowie Baysox and Prince George’s Stadium, and the future Green Branch Multifield and Athletic Complex (see Public Facilities), are major regional attractions that bring visitors to the area and help support the businesses at Bowie Gateway.
• Pursuing infill residential development along the
main corridors—MD 197, MD 450, and US 301/ MD 3—and diversifying housing types at key nodes such as Bowie Local Town Center can support and expand local retail.
• The upgrade of US 301 to a limited-access
highway will spur economic development along the corridor, especially highway-related services that cater to travelers and regional and interstate transportation, logistics, and warehousing at the Collington Local Employment Area.
• Old Town Bowie’s historical significance, pedestrian scale, and niche market of antique shops can be leveraged to revitalize the area. The area has the potential to enhance commercial offerings with eating and drinking establishments. More specifically, small-scale neighborhood services and retail (health and personal care) can fit into the existing village fabric of Old Town Bowie.
CHALLENGES
• The plan area lacks the residential density,
amenities, and transit access that most top employers demand when seeking Class A office space, available in other areas of the County and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. These challenges have led to a high vacancy rate for Class A office space.
• It is too early to fully evaluate the impact of
COVID-19 on future office trends, but a continued trend toward increased teleworking is anticipated.
• The lack of residential density inhibits Bowie-
Mitchellville and Vicinity’s ability to attract and support the high-end retail the community desires.
• Lack of visibility from major thoroughfares, small
parcel sizes, and limited parking create Old Town Bowie’s community character and walkability but contribute to the area’s low weekday activity.
Medical Technology Inovalon is a technology company that provides cloud analytics and data-driven solutions to the health care industry and employs more than 600 people in the company’s corporate headquarters along the MD 197 corridor.
Bowie Baysox The owner/operator of the Bowie Baysox has secured $1 million in state funding for infrastructure improvements to the stadium. The Baysox plan to secure a 20-year lease and, with M-NCPPC’s planned Green Branch Multifield and Athletic Complex located adjacent to the stadium, the area will be transformed into a year-round athletics destination and potential economic driver.
Class A Office Buildings Class A office buildings are high-quality, newly constructed buildings with modern-day designs and infrastructure. They command the highest rents in a market and attract high-income, high tax-paying tenants.
30 • 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022
Transportation and Mobility OPPORTUNITIES
• The plan area is strategically located between Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Annapolis.
• MARC provides a convenient one-seat ride
between the BSU MARC Campus Center and Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.
• Several roads in the plan area were overbuilt or
have excess horizontal rights-of-way, creating opportunities to retrofit them to facilitate active transportation and transit.
• The expansion of the Governor Harry W. Nice
Memorial/Senator Thomas “Mac” Middleton Bridge, which carries US 301 over the Potomac River linking Charles County to Virginia, positions the plan area to facilitate interstate trade that bypasses the congested I-95 corridor and capture spending bypass-through travelers.
CHALLENGES
• The plan area was constructed to be automobile
dependent. This creates a variety of challenges, including longer-than-average car commutes and lack of pedestrian and bike facilities.
• Seventy-five percent of commuters drive to work
alone, and an additional 8.5 percent carpool. Only 10 percent of commuters take transit as their primary mode, 1 percent walk, and even less than one percent bicycle to work. The remaining percent either work from home or arrive to work by other means.
• Lack of connectivity between land uses including
between shopping centers leaves few alternatives to driving. The existing transportation system has a rigid hierarchy of roads that feeds traffic onto increasingly high-volume, high-speed, and multilane highways that are major barriers to walking, bicycling, and transit. Current opportunities for bicycling and walking in most of the plan area are limited.
• Many of the common demand factors for active
transportation (walking, biking, and taking transit), including zero-car households, proximity to major employment centers, and mixed-use, high-density development have historically been absent, limiting momentum for change.
• Lack of fixed-guideway (other than MARC service
in the far northern part of the master plan area) or high-frequency transit. Transit service is limited, often difficult to access, and infrequent.
• Lack of bus stops and first- and last-mile
connections for bicyclists and pedestrians discourages transit use.
• Until the transformation of US 301 to a limited-
access highway is complete, traffic congestion will increase throughout the corridor, especially around the Collington Local Employment Area and the Bowie Local Town Center.
• The lack of sidewalks and adequate crosswalks at intersections limit safe and convenient walking from transit.
• An overabundance of parking lots leads to long inconvenient and uncomfortable trips by foot, bicycle, and transit and further discourages active transportation.
• High concentrations of crashes at intersections
along US 301 (Robert Crain Highway), MD 197 (Collington/Laurel Bowie Roads), and MD 450 (Annapolis Road) compared to other intersections in the plan area.
Natural Environment OPPORTUNITIES
• Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity retains about
28,000 acres (approximately 38 percent of the plan area) of forest cover and tree canopy coverage but increasing tree canopy in developed areas and over impervious surfaces would reduce the urban heat island effect, thermal heat impacts on receiving streams, and stormwater runoff.
• There was, overall, an 8 percent increase in
forest and tree canopy coverage between 1938 and 2017 due, in part, to street tree plantings, reforestation programs, and retention of large tracts of woodland.
• The Belt Woods Natural Environmental Area
is recognized by the National Park Service as a national natural landmark. It is one of the few remaining old-growth upland forests in the Atlantic Coastal Plain and has been protected and enlarged by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources by purchasing adjacent properties with Nontidal Wetlands of Special State Concern.
2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022 • 31
• The County is creating a Climate Action Plan to
prepare for and build resilience to regional climate change impacts, and to set and achieve climate stabilization goals.
CHALLENGES
• The imperviousness is high, at 20 percent
(8,000 acres) with the majority (62 percent) of imperviousness being roads, buildings, and parking lots. This results in excessive, rapid stormwater runoff that damage receiving streams and wetlands.
• The Middle Patuxent River and Collington Branch watersheds have a high level of imperviousness, 7.27 percent and 6.48 percent respectively, which is consistent with the poor and very poor quality ratings of the two watersheds.
• Much of the development within Bowie-
Mitchellville and Vicinity occurred prior to the adoption of current state and local environmental requirements for the protection of regulated environmental features.
• Loss of stream buffers and wetlands, stream
channelization, and the construction of multiple stream crossings for development is difficult to retroactively mitigate for lost habitat, poor water quality, and excessive stormwater runoff and flooding.
• Patuxent River Upper, Patuxent River Middle, and Patuxent River Lower are impaired, with high amounts of chlorides, sulfates, bacteria, and total suspended solids (TSS).
Sustainability and Climate Change The Prince George’s County Council established The Prince George’s Climate Action Commission with Council Resolution CR-07-2020 to develop a Climate Action Plan for Prince George’s County and to prepare for and build resilience to regional climate change impacts, and to set and achieve climate stabilization goals. The Bowie City Council approved a Climate Action Plan 2020-2025 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to enhance community resilience. Climate stabilization and community sustainability are impacted by all elements that define this master plan. Consequently, comprehensive planning is necessary to fully achieve the outcomes of this plan while also achieving climate action and sustainability goals.
Housing and Neighborhoods OPPORTUNITIES
• Existing centers of economic activity, such as
Bowie Local Town Center and Free State Shopping Center/Bowie Marketplace can evolve into walkable neighborhoods.
• The two major transit facilities, the Bowie Local
Town Center park-and-ride, and Bowie State MARC Station, are well situated to provide locationefficient, transit-supportive housing opportunities, reducing automobile dependence and related costs.
• Low- to mid-rise student housing units could
provide BSU students with off-campus housing options adjacent to BSU MARC Campus Center.
• There are vacant lots and parcels that could
accommodate infill development in Old Town Bowie.
• With an increasing aging population, there is a market to develop more senior housing.
• As the existing housing stock ages, it may become naturally affordable, increasing homeownership opportunity.
CHALLENGES
• While aging, single-family, detached neighborhoods will continue to attract new households to Bowie, their price points may struggle to compete with new construction and walkable, urban neighborhoods in amenity- or transit-rich locations; this shift in buyer and renter preferences could lead to a decrease in the ability to draw new retail and businesses to the community, as corporations, retailers, and entrepreneurs focus on higher-income locations.
• There is a low supply of the housing stock
(apartments, condos, and townhouses) that meets the needs and preferences of current and future residents, especially generation Z, millennials, and seniors.
• Affordable housing is limited; only six affordable
housing projects are subsidized by the federal government in the plan area, and there are no new projects in the development pipeline.
• Because rents are relatively low compared to
neighboring jurisdictions and there is an abundance of naturally-occurring affordable housing in the County, there are only a few options available at this time to incentivize affordable housing in the plan area where affordable housing is needed.
32 • 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022
Community Heritage, Culture, and Design OPPORTUNITIES
• There are 30 County-designated Historic
Sites, many with the potential for historical interpretation signage.
• Prince George’s County offers tax credits and the
M-NCPPC offers grants to County-designated Historic Sites for adaptive reuse and/or restoration.
• The rich history of Bowie-Mitchellville and
Vicinity, which includes the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Bowie State University, African-American contributions, the communities of Fletchertown and Duckettsville, and the history of horse racing and breeding can be highlighted using interpretive and wayfinding signage, and programming.
• The Maryland Heritage Area Authority offers
grants, loans, and tax credits to qualified organizations to make improvements along the Anacostia Trails Heritage Area (ATHA).
• Expansion of existing community activities and entertainment events in Old Town Bowie and Bowie Local Town Center.
• Expand existing performance and art groups,
including those associated with BSU Theatre and the City of Bowie’s Performing Arts Center; to Old Town Bowie and Bowie Local Town Center.
• New design standards in the 2018 Zoning
Ordinance, help ensure design consistency and excellence throughout the plan area and beyond.
CHALLENGES
• Two historic properties, Goodwood (Historic Site
74B-014) and Partnership and Cemetery (Historic Site 74A-015), are in danger of demolition by neglect and recognized by the Historic Preservation Commission as Properties of Concern.
• Old Town Bowie currently fails to meet the
criteria to establish a state-designated Arts and Entertainment District. Its biggest obstacle is the lack of an art-related anchor institution, strong leadership to pursue designation, and lack of affordable artist housing.
• The remoteness of Old Town Bowie makes attracting visitors more difficult.
• Developers and utility companies are resistant
to installing utility lines underground in Prince George’s County despite doing so in other neighboring jurisdictions.
Healthy Communities OPPORTUNITIES
• The City of Bowie has health-related programs that can be further promoted or expanded.
• Expansion of community gardens and urban agriculture.
• The existing agricultural sector, which is rooted in a variety of fruits, vegetables, livestock, and other products, can be leveraged to increase the supply of local fresh foods that can be sold through farmers markets and other venues.
CHALLENGES
• As the BSU MARC Campus Center develops, there
will be an increased unmet need for a grocery store.
• Pedestrian and bicycle access to healthy food
options, parks and open space, and recreation is inadequate.
Public Facilities OPPORTUNITIES
• Existing public facility assets can be improved through expansion, rejuvenation, and new partnerships.
• Acquisitions and dedications can increase park access in existing and developing sectors of Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity.
CHALLENGES
• Perception of school overcrowding among residents.
• Ensuring areas seeing new residential
development have access to community facilities such as recreation that is comparable to access enjoyed by older residential communities.

Section III
Plan 2035 Centers
Bowie Local Town Center This center includes Melford and the adjacent retail and service areas west of US 301 (Robert Crain Highway) with Bowie Gateway, Bowie Town Center, and the commercial properties just north of MD 197. Plan 2035 encourages growth in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity to concentrate at these sites by designating them, collectively, as a Local Center. Bowie Local Town Center is the primary location within this plan area with potential for economic growth because of its location near MD 3, MD 197, US 301, and US 50 and opportunity to grow into a more walkable environment that includes a mix of complementary uses. To increase economic competitiveness and meet future residential demand, visible and regionally accessible parcels, such as those at the interchange of US 301, MD 3, and US 50, can be repositioned to draw more visitors to the center through the addition of residential, recreational, and entertainment uses, including a diverse range of housing options, such as age-restricted senior housing. As the center densifies, it will be important to ensure that the urban form of new developments, especially at Bowie Town Center, blend with the surrounding residential developments. Map 7.

Bowie State University MARC Campus Center Bowie State University (BSU) is one of the nation’s oldest Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), with enrollment today of more than 6,000 students. BSU is adjacent to the Bowie State MARC Station, from which residents can connect to other regional destinations via the MARC commuter train. The undeveloped County-owned land northwest of the station and the station parking lots can be leveraged to better serve the needs of the BSU campus community and offer additional amenities and expanded transit access through transit-oriented development (TOD).
Map 8. Amended BSU MARC Campus Center Boundaries*
Although the BSU MARC Campus Center is connected to regional destinations by rail, it has low connectivity by foot, bicycle, and public transit to the broader plan 197 area. Due to perceptions among faculty, staff, and students of limited transit in the area, most students and faculty commute to campus by car, with only 29 percent of students N and 16 percent of staff living 1,000 Feet 1 within five miles of the university.

While the BSU MARC Campus Center faces connectivity and isolation challenges today, transit-oriented development near the center can improve connectivity and meet the needs of students and residents who commute to Baltimore or Washington, D.C. With 81 percent of students living off campus and many commuting from as far as Washington, D.C., the BSU campus community presents a promising base for new residential development around this focus area. This increased residential base, improved pedestrian connectivity, and a mix of uses supporting 18-hour activity is vital for the development of a lively and vibrant community. 1 Bowie State University Anchor Scan (Margrave Strategies, 2018). 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022 • 37

Master Plan Focus Areas & Corridors
Collington Local Employment Area The Collington Local Employment Area is an industrial and flex commercial center located west of US 301 and north of Leeland Road at the southern end of the plan area. It is currently the industrial core of Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity, featuring more than 460 acres of primarily light-industrial land use, comprised mainly of warehouses and distribution centers, and not heavier industrial uses typically associated with increased community impacts. Just north of the trade zone, South Lake, a mixed-use development on more than 380 acres annexed by the City of Bowie in 2019, presents an opportunity to expand retail services and housing options for both nearby residents and employers in the area.

Old Town Bowie is part of a Limited Supermarket Access (LSA) area. Old Town Bowie’s location relative to major thoroughfares (MD 197 and MD 450) and current lack of connecting pedestrian or bicycle infrastructure creates the perception among many residents that it is isolated from the rest of the community. The Amtrak Northeast Corridor rail line, which divides Old Town Bowie, additionally hampers pedestrian travel within the community. The Chestnut Avenue/11th Street bridge provides the only pedestrian and vehicular crossing of the rail line through Old Town Bowie and creates an opportunity to better unify the two halves of Old Town Bowie and foster an important connection to the larger plan area.
Limited Supermarket Access (LSA) Areas A national analysis conducted by The Reinvestment Fund (TRF) identifies areas with relatively limited access to supermarkets as Limited Supermarket Access (LSA) areas. This analysis uses supermarkets as a proxy for healthy food access, given that these stores tend to provide a wider variety of healthier foods, at lower prices. LSA areas are contiguous sets of limited access block groups with a population of 5,000 people or more, in which there may be enough market demand to support expanded supermarket offerings. In Prince George’s County, 229,480 residents (as of 2018) live within LSA areas—which constitutes about 25 percent of the population. Approximately 12,367 of these residents—or about 5 percent of the total—reside within BowieMitchellville and Vicinity. 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022 • 41

MD 450 (Annapolis Road) is a busy four-lane divided highway and important transit corridor—served by two Metrobus lines —with average daily vehicle counts of 20,000 and 25,000 for much of its length. There are bus stops along the length of the corridor west of Race Track Road, several of which have shelters and seating; this existing infrastructure offers potential for improved public transit access along the corridor. The high amount of traffic and difficult pedestrian conditions along MD 450 (Annapolis Road) creates a hot spot for vehicular crashes, particularly at its intersection with Superior Lane, which recorded a cluster of crashes in the past five years, and at its intersection with Belair Drive where there was a fatal crash in 2016. Although there is a side path for the length of the corridor west of Race Track Road, there is limited bicycle access to shops and other services. To support the creation of a vibrant and active corridor along MD 450, traffic calming strategies present an opportunity to improve both real and perceived safety issues and facilitate active uses, including walking and biking, and make them more readily accessible to the residents of the neighborhoods that line the corridor. With most retail located east of MD 197, shopping destinations along the MD 450 corridor include The Shoppes at Highbridge, Fairwood Green, Lidl, West Bowie Village, and Bowie Marketplace. In 2016, Bowie Marketplace’s successful revitalization contrasts with West Bowie Village, an aging 85,000-square-foot shopping center that suffers low visibility from MD 450. Although West Bowie Village is nearly fully leased in 2020, its aging buildings and low visibility may present future challenges to its viability. To address these challenges and maintain highquality retail in the area, the City of Bowie has been instrumental in assisting with demolition costs and providing other financial incentives to encourage redevelopment.
WB&A Railway Bridge The Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Electric Railway Bridge, also known as the Concrete Railroad Bridge, is located to the west of Laurel Bowie Road (MD 197). The bridge was constructed in 1908 and is located under a pedestrian bridge that spans Laurel Bowie Road as part of the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Recreation Trail. The pedestrian bridge is located just north of Rustic Hill Drive. The Washington, Baltimore, & Annapolis Electric Railway Bridge spans the Horsepen Branch of the Patuxent River.

Designated as a scenic/historic road for its entire length within the plan area, MD 197 provides scenic views, features the WB&A Railway Bridge, and runs through the heart of established communities. In addition, the nearby BSU MARC Campus Center is planned as a new activity center with mixed-use, transit-oriented development.

MD 197 (Laurel Bowie/Collington Road) serves as an important local connector for residents of the plan area, with Bowie State University and the Bowie State MARC Station on the north end, and Bowie Local Town Center to the south. The corridor’s residential and scenic character, paired with existing and planned trails and side paths, present an opportunity to increase safety and connectivity, while the retail spending gap and certain aging properties present an opportunity to expand its commercial market.

The MD 197 corridor has traffic volumes ranging from 50 10,000 vehicles a day at its northern end (near BSU) to more than 30,000 vehicles a day near the intersection N with MD 450 (Annapolis Road). MD 197 has four travel 3,000 Feet i lanes near BSU, so the level-of-service (LOS) for the roadway is estimated at LOS A and is considered freeMaster Plan Boundary MD 197 Corridor Property flow or even light traffic. Conversely, at Old Annapolis City of Bowie Building Road, MD 197 has four through travel lanes northbound and two through travel lanes heading south. North of Source: Prince George’s County Planning Department the intersection is estimated at LOS C, which while is still within the roadway’s capacity is considered moderately heavy traffic. South of MD 450 (Annapolis Road) the estimated LOS exceeds LOS E and should be considered heavy traffic. Regardless of the LOS, roadways without facilities to accommodate all modes creates challenges for both vehicular and pedestrian safety, which crash data in the area reflects; of the top 25 intersections with the most frequent crashes in the plan area, more than half are located along MD 197. Roadways lacking pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, while providing motor vehicle facilities designed to permit traveling at speeds higher than the posted limits create unsafe conditions for walkers and bicyclists. The interchange of MD 197 (Collington Road) and US 50 (John Hanson Highway) has the only signalized intersection along the corridor with controlled pedestrian crossings at all corners, while numerous other intersections have no pedestrian crossing facilities. Poor pedestrian infrastructure, combined with infrequent transit schedules, makes automobile travel the most efficient mode of transportation along this corridor. Existing trail networks in the area, however, present an opportunity to expand and improve connectivity.
£ ¤
The MD 197 corridor—especially the section to the north of US 50 (John Hanson Highway)—has fewer retail and commercial uses when compared to the US 301 (Robert Crain Highway) and MD 450 (Annapolis Road) corridors. Primary market opportunities along this corridor include redeveloping the underperforming Bowie Plaza shopping center and developing new retail and residential options at and near the BSU MARC Campus Center. With few retail options available at the northern end of the corridor, there is potential for retail development near Bowie State University, while university-related uses may also support office development near campus. Located near MD 450 (Annapolis Road) and Free State Shopping Center/Bowie Marketplace, potential redevelopment at Bowie Plaza can achieve right-sized retail for this location and may prevent long-term vacancies. 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022 • 43
US 301/MD 3 Corridor
This plan aligns with the County’s Plan 2035 growth policy by limiting development east of US 301 to conserve sensitive environments along the corridor, including woodland, wetlands, and farmland. US 301 intersects with scenic and historic byways such as Mitchellville Road, Mill Branch Road, and Excalibur Road.

Running north to south, the US 301/MD 3 (Robert Crain Highway) Corridor consists of an existing fourto-six lane high-speed highway; the existing highway will be replaced with a planned limited-access freeway (F-10) and adjacent arterial (A-61) that connects the plan area’s commercial core (Bowie Local Town Center) and industrial core (the proposed Collington Local Employment Area) to regional markets such as Baltimore and Richmond, Virginia. This corridor acts as a boundary between the County Rural and Agricultural Area and its Established Communities; it serves as the growth boundary for most of the plan area, demarcating the eastern limits of public water and sewer service. US 301 has significant zoning differences on each side: east of US 301 is characterized by very low-density housing, agriculture, and open space, while west of the roadway has a greater mix of uses with a wider range of densities. Planned upgrades to this corridor will provide opportunities to improve regional access to the area, especially access to Collington Local Employment Area.

The section of US 301 running south from its Source: Prince George’s County Planning Department interchange with US 50 (John Hanson Highway) and MD 3 is a high-volume, high-speed arterial route with two to three through lanes in each direction. More than 75,000 vehicles a day use the corridor; this total is expected to increase with the opening of a widened Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial/Senator Thomas “Mac” Middleton Bridge, which carries US 301 over the Potomac River in Charles County. US 301 and MD 3 have been planned for an upgrade to a limited-access highway since the 1970s. There are sections without pedestrian or bicycle infrastructure—there are no sidewalks and only one marked and signalized crosswalk in the corridor, on the south side of Heritage Boulevard/Ballpark Road, which will be eliminated when the freeway is constructed. The total crossing distance is 170 feet and pedestrians must cross in two stages. Though bus routes service the Bowie Gateway Shopping Center and the Collington Local Employment Area, there are no bus stops located along the corridor . The corridor is a commercial center within Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity. Most planned development along this area is at Melford Town Center, Mill Branch Crossing, and South Lake. There is an opportunity to leverage the planned mixed-use developments of Melford and South Lake by redeveloping aging retail along the southern end of the corridor. Pointer Ridge Plaza, the only cluster of retail at the corridor’s southern end, is an aging, underperforming shopping center near a large planned mixed-use community—a redevelopment opportunity. 44 • 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022

Growth is directed away from the Rural and Agricultural Areas and Established Communities to the Plan 2035 centers.
2.
The Rural and Agricultural Areas are preserved and protected from development.
3.
A majority of residential and commercial growth in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity occurs within BSU MARC Campus Center and the Bowie Local Town Center.
4.
Flex space and telecommunication land uses are strategically expanded at the BSU MARC Campus Center.
5.
The Collington Local Employment Area attracts light industrial and office land uses.
6.
Integrate land use and transportation to encourage multimodal transportation options including transit, bicycling, and walking along MD 450.
7.
Attract commercial uses and retail options to serve neighborhoods along the MD 197 corridor.
Existing Conditions Summary The Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity master plan area is primarily occupied by rural and agricultural areas and parks and other open spaces in addition to low-density, single-family detached housing. There is a considerable supply of parkland and open spaces, while rural and agricultural land uses are concentrated outside the County’s growth boundary, mostly east of US 301/MD 3 (Robert Crain Highway). Higher-density residential land uses, including townhouses, apartments, and condominiums, are concentrated around existing commercial nodes like Bowie Local Town Center and along key corridors such as MD 450 (Annapolis Road) and MD 214 (Central Avenue). Institutional uses, such as places of worship and public schools, are spread throughout the plan area and tend to occupy large parcels. Commercial land uses also tend to be located on large parcels that line the corridors and cluster around intersections. Most of the commercial nodes are primarily single use; however, this is changing with proposed projects at Bowie Town Center (shopping center) and approved projects like Bowie Marketplace, Melford, and South Lake. Map 14. Master Plan Existing Land Use, shows additional detail of the use of land. Most of the land in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity is privately owned (71 percent); with the majority already developed. The remaining 29 percent is publicly owned, mostly by M-NCPPC and the State of Maryland (see Map 15. Public Land). Areas owned by M-NCPPC are primarily used for parks and open space, whereas the State owns several large, undeveloped parcels; the City of Bowie also owns many small undeveloped parcels scattered throughout the city. Prince George’s County owns approximately 291 acres, with approximately 94 acres of developable land adjacent to the Bowie State MARC Station.

Land Use Policies and Strategies AREAWIDE
RURAL AND AGRICULTURAL AREA
Policy LU 1 Preserve community parks, sensitive environmental areas, and open spaces.
Policy LU 2 Preserve the Rural and Agricultural Areas for open space, agriculture, environmental preservation, and very low-density housing exclusively served by individual well and septic systems (see Policy PF 4).
LU 1.1
In Map 16. Future Land Use, designate community parks, sensitive environmental areas, and open spaces for Parks and Open Space land uses (see also Policy CZ 1, Table F-1. CZ 1.1 Zoning Recommendations, and Map F-1. CZ 1.1 Zoning Recommendations).
Sustainability and Climate Change Land use, sustainability, and climate change are closely connected. Land use decisions across the plan area have a key role in sustainable development, resource protection, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Directing development to specific locations, such as the Plan 2035 centers and the plan-defined focus areas, can preserve undeveloped land and protect sensitive environmental features such as streams, forested areas, habitat, and open space.
LU 2.1
With the exception of the properties at 6513 and 6517 NE Robert Crain Highway (Tax IDs 0822239, 5635696, and 5635708) and all institutional land uses in existence on March 8, 2022, recommend rural and agricultural land uses for all properties in the Rural and Agricultural Area. (See Strategy CZ 2.3)
LU 2.2
Add the Belt Woods Natural Environment Area to the Rural and Agricultural Area. Designate this area as Parks and Open Space in Map 16. Future Land Use (see Map 17. Belt Woods Natural Environment Area–Plan 2035 Policy Area Amendment, Table 4. Rural and Agricultural Area Additions–Belt Woods Natural Environment Area, Map 25.

Future Land Use, recommend Commercial, Residential Medium-High, or Residential Low Land Uses east of US 301 (Robert Crain Highway) south of US 50/301 (John Hanson Highway) on the properties removed from Bowie Local Town Center to limit mixed-use development outside of the Bowie Local Town Center.
LU 4.6
As part of the Plan 2035 Five-Year Evaluation (see Section XV of this Plan at page 224), monitor and evaluate density and FAR of new development in the Bowie Local Town Center according to guidelines in the 2018 Zoning Ordinance and the recommendations set forth in Plan 2035 (see Plan 2035 Table 16, page 108); once those goals have been met on average for the Center, future expansion of the Bowie Local Town Center boundary may be considered.
BOWIE LOCAL TOWN CENTER Policy LU 4 Define the boundaries of Bowie Local Town Center as well as the Core, and Edge to concentrate mixed-use development pursuant to Plan 2035, with the most intense development at the center and less-intense development on the periphery. LU 4.1
LU 4.2
Expand the boundaries of Bowie Local Town Center to include the commercial properties north of MD 197 (see Map 20. Bowie Local Town Center—Plan 2035 Policy Map Amendment, Center Boundary Expansion, Map 25. Plan 2035 Growth Policy Map Amendments, and Appendix B. Plan 2035 and Functional Master Plan Amendments for a list of affected properties and CZ 5.2). Define the Core of the Bowie Local Town Center as the Bowie Town Center shopping center (see Map 21. Bowie Local Town Center—Core and Edge and Appendix B. Plan 2035 and Functional Master Plan Amendments for a list of affected properties and CZ 5.1).
Mixed-Use Centers Walkable, mixed-use areas, including transit-oriented developments, are often roughly one-half mile in diameter and organized around a core and edge. An entry to a Metro station or another transit stop is often located at the center of the core, with the most dense and intense development growing out from this point. Best practices dictate employment and retail uses be concentrated in the core and that the edge include more of a residential mix with less of an emphasis on commercial uses.

Land Use Policy LU 5 Reinforce Bowie Local Town Center as the focal point of Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity by concentrating new development with a mix of uses. LU 5.1
Construct mid-rise (less than eight stories) multifamily housing at varying price points and number of bedrooms to provide additional housing options throughout Bowie Local Town Center and complement existing neighborhoods surrounding the center.
LU 5.2
Concentrate the highest densities in the Core of Bowie Local Town Center.
LU 5.3
Construct infill residential and retail in the underused parking lots centrally located in the area immediately southwest of the US 50/ US 301/MD 3 interchange known as the Bowie Gateway. Infill retail should include businesses with a sports and recreation focus, such as indoor trampoline parks, driving ranges, climbing walls, or batting cages (see Figure 2. Bowie Gateway Concept Plan).
LU 5.4
To maximize redevelopment potential, parcel assembly is encouraged for all properties within the Bowie Local Town Center along Mitchellville Road, Heritage Boulevard, Harbour Way, and North Hanson Court. Parcel assembly is essential to achieve this plan’s recommendations for residential infill development and retail redevelopment at Bowie Gateway.
LU 5.5
Melford should continue to develop pursuant to its approved Conceptual Site Plans.
LU 5.6
Develop office uses within Bowie Local Town Center with the support of Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation (PGCEDC) and state programs.
Policy LU 6 To preserve commercial viability and the continued presence of neighborhood-serving retail and services, construct infill housing at challenged existing shopping center locations. LU 6.1
Redevelop Shoppes at Bowie Town Center (3811, 3851, and 3901 Evergreen Parkway, tax IDs 3415163, 3586344, and 3507290) with multifamily residential uses. Development should front the sidewalk along Evergreen Parkway and decrease in height and visual impact southward from Evergreen Parkway, minimizing visual impact on adjacent neighborhoods.
BOWIE STATE UNIVERSITY MARC CAMPUS CENTER Policy LU 7 Define the boundaries, Core, and Edge of BSU MARC Center to concentrate mixed-use development pursuant to Plan 2035, with the most intense development at the Bowie State MARC Station and less-intense development to the north and west. LU 7.1
Rename this Plan 2035-designated Campus Center as the Bowie State University MARC Campus Center, abbreviated as the BSU MARC Campus Center.
LU 7.2
Expand the boundaries of BSU MARC Campus Center to include the portions of the BSU campus (14000 Jericho Park Road, tax IDs 1646090, and 1615558) within the Established Communities and the portion of Parcel 117 of the Amtrak Northeast Corridor (Tax ID 1658186) east of the MD 197 (Laurel Bowie Road) identified in LU 2.4 and shown in Map 19.

Neighborhood and Locally Serving Retail “Neighborhood and locally serving retail is broadly defined as retail establishments serving their immediate neighborhood. Municipalities across the country uniquely define neighborhoodserving retail to fit their local context, but common themes include retail that serves a specific geographic radius, caters to a certain portion of the community’s population, and is locally owned and/or has a small footprint. Many communities codify neighborhood or locally serving zoning in their zoning, such as the City of San Diego, which defines locally serving zones as “having 100,000 square feet gross floor area or less and demonstrates through a market area study that the market capture area for the project is approximately three miles (or less) and serves a population of roughly 25,000 people or less.”* Neighborhood-serving retail at the Bowie State University MARC Campus Center will ideally be locally owned, occupy less space relative to big-box stores or regional chains, and serve local students, staff, and employees who work and reside near Bowie State University.

Define the Edge of the BSU MARC Campus Center as the North Village and Office and Research Campus neighborhoods (see Map 24. BSU MARC Campus Center–Core and Edge, and Appendix B. Plan 2035 and Functional Master Plan Amendments).
As part of the Plan 2035 Five-Year Evaluation (see Section XV of this Plan at page 229), monitor and evaluate density and FAR of new development in BSU MARC Campus Center according to guidelines in the 2018 Zoning Ordinance and the recommendations set forth in Plan 2035 (see Plan 2035 Table 16, page 108); once those goals have been met on average for the Center, future expansion of the BSU MARC Campus Center boundary may be considered.
Policy LU 8 Create a new mixed-use center at the BSU MARC Campus Center that includes multifamily student housing, and townhouses at commuter rail-supportive densities commensurate with the Neighborhood Activity Center zone, in the newly established University Village and North Village (see Figure 3. Bowie MARC Station TOD Plan: Neighborhoods and Figure 4. BSU MARC Campus Center Proposed Concept Plan [ThreeDimensional View]). LU 8.1
Construct multifamily housing, including student housing, in University Village and construct multifamily housing and townhouses in North Village to create the residential base necessary to support a vibrant, mixed-use, transit-oriented center at the BSU MARC Campus Center (see HN 6).
LU 8.2
Implement the recommendations of the Bowie State University Facilities Master Plan 2020-2030 for the current BSU campus east of the Amtrak Northeast Corridor. Facilities recommended for west of the Northeast Corridor are incorporated in this area master plan but are envisioned in different locations given the recommended street network, stream buffers, and utility rights-of-way.
LU 8.3
Acquire, consolidate, and redevelop all developed parcels west of the Amtrak Northeast Corridor within the BSU MARC Campus Center.

Land Use Neighborhoods, Core, and Edge BSU MARC Campus Center contains a set of three vibrant subareas, University Village, North Village, and an Office and Research Campus, with active, pedestrian- and bicycle-oriented streets and trails. The center provides different retail options, housing alternatives, office space, and inviting public spaces within walking distance of BSU and the Bowie State MARC Station. The area is a prime opportunity for the university to expand its campus with new offices and classrooms, and to explore possible publicprivate initiatives. The center serves as a model for sustainable cost-effective development that protects sensitive ecological habitat, open space, and natural systems with low-impact construction methods to treat stormwater and wastewater and using alternative sources of power.

Construct or convert existing structures into housing that supports artists along MD 564 (9th Street) and at other strategic locations in Old Town Bowie. In addition to conventional housing types, artists’ residential studios and live-work dwelling units may be accommodated in properties within the Commercial-Neighborhood (CN) Zone (see Table 6. Artist Housing Locations and HN 7.1). All new buildings along MD 564 (9th Street) should contain dwelling units or offices on upper floors. Where feasible, existing buildings should be retrofitted to support upper-level residential units as well.

Pop-Up Retail Pop-up retail is a temporary retail store or space that sells goods for short periods before closing again. It generally includes a variety of vendors and range of products that can include jewelry, fresh produce, clothing, books, and seasonal items among many others.
MD 450 CORRIDOR Policy LU 16 Create an active and lively neighborhood destination along MD 450 (Annapolis Road) between Belair Drive and Race Track Road. LU 16.1

GOAL COMPREHENSIVE ZONING GOAL
The County Zoning Map classifies all Table 7. Zoning Categories Zone Description properties1 in the zoning classification TAC-c Town Activity Center that best allows implementation of (core) this master plan.
Existing Conditions Summary Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity’s zoning reflects, for the most part, current land uses. The plan area is primarily classified with low-density residential and open space zones. Medium-density residential zones are found in older locations such as Old Town Bowie. Mixed-use zoning is prevalent at BSU MARC Campus Center (west of the Northeast Corridor), Melford, Bowie Town Center, Fairwood, and South Lake. A significant portion of the plan area has developed as master-planned communities pursuant to Comprehensive Design Zones. This master plan recommends intensification, deintensification, and other changes to the use of land in several locations throughout the plan area. This plan recommends where such changes would be best implemented by rezoning through a future Sectional Map Amendment, recommended for initiation upon approval of this master plan.

Key Economic Opportunity There is potential to coordinate and market the MD 3/US 301 corridor as a regional sports, entertainment, and recreation corridor. The potential stems from the opportunities created by existing and proposed facilities along the corridor including Whitemarsh Park, Prince George’s Stadium, Green Branch Regional Park, and Liberty Sports Park.
Retail Attraction The Prince George’s County Retail Marketability and Competitiveness Study (2016) notes that: Two factors related to a retailer’s initial location analysis from the first look business standpoint complicate the identification of the ideal County sites to attract high-quality retail.
• Prince George’s County has a disparity between where above-average household density is located and where medianhousehold incomes are high.
• The County’s prime retail locations must compete with the Baltimore-Washington region’s super prime locations with higher population densities and some of the highest incomes and education levels in the United States. (Prince George’s County Retail Marketability and Competitiveness Study [2016], page 4).
92 • 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022
Economic Prosperity Existing Conditions Summary Located near two major metropolitan markets, Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity enjoys a strategic location and a relatively wealthy residential population with the potential to support specific types of office, industrial, and retail. The area is predominantly suburban with lowdensity land uses that pose a challenge in attracting new retail and office uses. However, there are opportunities, including expanding employment in certain sectors, meeting unmet retail demand, and constructing infill development in strategic locations that allow the plan area to strengthen its economic competitiveness and expand its market position, consistent with Plan 2035 goals. With more than 1.8 million square feet of office space, the plan area’s office markets have seen varying degrees of economic health. Class A office space has a high vacancy rate of 20.3 percent, with no recent private development activity, while Class B and Class C office have healthier vacancy rates at 5.4 percent and 0 percent, respectively. Expanding the health care and social assistance sector has led to increased office space demand. The health care and social assistance industry is responsible for a large portion of Bowie’s employment growth over the past five years, particularly within outpatient care centers, home health care services, mental health facilities, and family service centers. Since much of the office market in the plan area serves residents, the capacity for office market growth is tied to overall population growth. Nearly a fourth of all businesses in the plan area belong to the health care sector, and more than 14 percent of employees in the plan area work in this sector.1 The growing health care sector presents an opportunity to the plan area, which can position itself as an employment center and add mixed-use developments with accessibility to workplaces in health care. In terms of tourism, the plan area is home to Six Flags America, a theme park and major employment center for the County with 100 full-time employees and 1,200 to 1,500 seasonal employees, and the Bowie Baysox, a Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity’s 1
4.2 million square feet of industrial space remains an economic driver; Collington Local Employment Area comprises 3.2 million of the total industrial space. Retail space comprises 3.75 million square feet with 887,000 additional square feet in the development pipeline. Retail is generally located along three main corridors: MD 197, MD 450, and US 301/MD 3. Recently, retail vacancies have seen an uptick, largely due to the closure of large national retail chains including Sears, Dressbarn, and A.C. Moore. Before these closures, retail vacancies in 2018 were at a record low 2.3 percent. In addition, the plan area has some unmet retail demand, leaving many residents no choice but to shop in neighboring Anne Arundel County.
Policies and Strategies AREAWIDE Policy EP 1 Use existing City of Bowie, Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS), and BSU programs and resources to better prepare and market the existing workforce. EP 1.1
Increase funding for, and promotion of, the PGCPS’s and BSU’s Education Innovation Initiative (EI2).
EP 1.2
Increase participation in the City of Bowie and County workforce training programs to prepare youth and adult workers for health care and STEM sector jobs.
EP 1.3

EP 2.5

Sustainability and Climate Change Economic prosperity is essential to the vitality of sustainable communities and to the quality of life of its citizens. Maintaining economic prosperity while converting to renewable energy sources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is an important challenge for local and regional planning. Investments in a zero‐carbon economy also can be investments in a future workforce, the wellbeing of future generations, and the resilience of our infrastructure and public spaces. Creative approaches to establishing new jobs and commercialization around renewable energy, housing energy efficiency, and carbon‐free transportation technology will be essential to combat climate change while maintaining economic prosperity. Finding sustainable and equitable solutions in the face of increasing heat waves, storm damage, and flooding threats is imperative for ensuring healthy and economically viable communities.
Retail Needs Rooftops One important factor new retailers and other businesses consider before opening a new location is to ensure there is the population that can support their commercial use. This means that to attract businesses to key destinations, a larger, denser population may be necessary. As new businesses locate to the plan area or existing businesses stay and expand, jobs will increase. The policies and strategies in this element focus on business attraction, growth, and retention as the primary means to increase job opportunity.
Education Innovation Initiative The Education Innovation Initiative (EI2) is a preK-20 pipeline program that promotes academic success and exposes students from underrepresented groups to careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
City of Bowie Workforce Training Program The City of Bowie Office of Grant Development and Administration, in conjunction with Bowie Youth and Family Services, offers residents a free Workforce Development and Life Skills Training Program for youth and young adults between the ages of 15 and 25. The program provides free workforce readiness training, which includes a portion on life skills and another on STEM career paths.
Bowie Business Innovation Center
96 • 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022
The Bowie Business Innovation Center (Bowie BIC) is located at the Center for Business at Bowie State University. Bowie BIC is the first business incubation and accelerator program in Maryland to be located at a historically black educational institution. Bowie BIC targets innovative, growth-oriented professional service firms in the Greater Bowie and Prince George’s County communities and works with these companies to provide business support services that will accelerate their growth and ability to generate jobs.
Economic Prosperity Advanced Industries Advanced industries are an economic sector characterized by its deep involvement with technology research and development (R&D) and STEM workers. Comprised of 50 different industries, ranging from manufacturing industries (aerospace and pharmaceutical construction) to energy industries and high-tech services (computer systems design), employment in the sector has surged since the Great Recession (2008). With average earnings increasing nearly five times as fast as the economy overall, BowieMitchellville and Vicinity may capitalize on the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area’s advanced cluster of services such as computer systems design, software, and R&D to bring innovative, sustainable, and inclusive growth to the area.

EP 3.4
Revitalize or redevelop the West Bowie Village Shopping Center located at 1361113637, 13701, 13711, 13801 and 13811 Old Annapolis Road (Tax IDs 0657106, 0822510, 0821579, 0822528, 0822536, 0821587, 0821660, 0821595, 0821652, 0821603, 0821611, 0821645, 0821629, 0821637, 0821561, 0800375, 0821249, and 0816942) to support economically viable uses. (See Map 27. West Bowie Village.)
Farm-to-School “Farm-to-School” is a term that strives to bring locally produced foods into school cafeterias; hands-on learning activities such as farm visits, producers visiting schools, school gardening, and culinary classes; and the integration of food-related education into the standards-based classroom curriculum. Farm-to-school includes of all types of producers and food businesses including farmers and waterman as well as food processors, manufacturers, and distributors.
Buy Local Program Buy local programs are initiatives where residents commit to buying local products such as meats, produce, art, and other items made by small businesses in the area. They are usually organized by local entities including municipalities, counties, chambers of commerce, and nonprofits. These organizations often create directories of merchants and advertise and organize events where products are sold. The benefits of these programs include strengthening the economy, creating jobs, providing fresher produce and reducing greenhouse gases from shorter product shipment.
Regional Agriculture Center A proposed Regional Agriculture Center (RAC) for Prince George’s County is in the preliminary planning stages. The Prince George’s County Soil Conservation District is forming a working group to identify specific locations, concepts, size, and other project details. Likely locations may be along US 301/MD 3, near US 50. The Southern Maryland RAC in St. Mary’s County will be a production facility, an instructional facility, and an incubator, built to serve the farming community and their customers. The RAC aggregates meats and produce for volume and institutional sales, instruct budding entrepreneurs on regulatory issues, empower meat industry apprenticeships, and even teaches children and adults how to cook.

Transportation and Mobility
Transportation and Mobility
GOAL PLAN 2035 GOAL
Provide and maintain a safe, affordable, accessible, and sustainable multimodal transportation network that supports the County’s desired land use pattern and Plan 2035 goals.
Transportation and Mobility Goals
1
1.
There is a robust bicycle, pedestrian, and micromobility infrastructure that allows residents, workers, students, and visitors to travel safely and efficiently to a wide range of destinations while reducing the share of travel by single-occupant vehicle and vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
2.
Public transit services are available with frequencies of service that make transit a viable alternative to driving.
3.
The needs of the population are met with greater connectivity and a built environment conducive to active transportation.
4.
There is a comprehensive trail network that connects key centers and destinations and provides multimodal options for residents and visitors alike.
5.
Traffic calming measures are implemented that will improve the safety of residents and visitors in centers and focus areas.
6.
BSU MARC Campus Center will be served by a variety of transit services that facilitate non-automobile trips within the Center and to external destinations.
7.
The US 301/MD 3 Corridor is a regional mobility corridor that facilitates regional vehicular traffic, economic development, and the movement of goods to, from, and through Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity, while increasing opportunities for north-south active transportation connections.
Existing Conditions Summary The Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity plan area is conveniently located in the middle of a triangle formed by the cities of Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington, D.C. As a result, there are several important roads and a rail link traversing the area. US 50 (John Hanson Highway) connects the plan area to Annapolis, Washington, D.C., and the Capital Beltway; US 301 and MD 3 (Robert Crain Highway) connect the plan area to Richmond and Baltimore. Bus transit services are provided by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA),1 MARC (Maryland Area Regional Commuter) train service is available at BSU, and portions of the East Coast Greenway bicycle network run through the area (see Map 30. Percentage of Population Using Public Transit [2017] and Map 31. Bus Ridership Activity [Fall 2019]). Transportation and mobility in the plan area heavily revolve around car travel. Planning documents over the past 20 years or more have imagined a walkable, bicycle-friendly, and transit-accessible community committed to sustainability and economic development. However, residents rely on singleoccupant automobiles for most trips, especially their journey to work. The built transportation network and land use pattern in the plan area reinforce this reliance on automobile travel. The transportation system has a rigid hierarchy of roads that feeds traffic onto increasingly high-volume, high-speed, multilane highways that are not only major barriers to walking, bicycling, and transit, but also prevent the fine-grained development patterns that benefit from multimodal transportation. There are few realistic alternatives to driving because of a lack of infrastructure such as sidewalks and bicycle lanes, transit service, or destinations near residences. Land uses are separated such that the places people live are disconnected from the places they need to access for shopping, education, recreation, employment, health care, and government services. The boundaries of these different land uses are frequently defined by roads that are inhospitable to pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders, and can be frustrating for drivers.
As of the public release of this plan, DPW&T The Bus does not serve Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity.

2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022 • 107
Transportation and Mobility Sustainability and Climate Change Gasoline-powered automobile dependency increases carbon emissions that contribute to climate change while the many miles of roadway and acres of parking space detrimentally impact stormwater management and increase runoff pollution and the heat island effect. Supporting alternative transportation options is paramount to a climate-conscious, resilient community. This plan prioritizes increased public transit, bicycling, walking, and micro-transit (ride- and bike-shares, electric scooters, and on-demand transit) options to mitigate carbon emissions and limit transportation’s impact on their environment. This plan also encourages policies that accelerate adoption of electric vehicles and deployment of charging infrastructure.

Driving often presents the most convenient option for residents. As shown in Map 29. Intersection Level of Service (LOS), there are few roads that experience prolonged periods of congestion, there is an ample supply of free or inexpensive parking, there is limited transit service, and few trips are short enough to walk or bicycle, even if road conditions were favorable to these modes of travel. The plan area is automobile dependent, but there exist opportunities to create walkable communities that could improve quality of life, health, safety, environment, economic competitiveness, and sustainability of the community. An automobilecentric environment has created wide, high-speed roads that are difficult to cross as well as a commercial retail environment that only permits big-box, and drive-by quick service chain business to compete. The area is also characterized by acres of parking lots that are inhospitable for walking; and long and inconvenient routes by foot, bicycle, and transit that further discourage their use even for local trips and activities such as getting to school. Although there is little demonstrated congestion in the plan area, there is a perception of a congested roadway network, which is fueled by regional congestion hotspots nearby (the Capital Beltway and sections of US 50 outside the plan area), as well as general driver impatience.

Shared-use paths are walking and bicycling transportation facilities that are physically separated from motor vehicle traffic. While many shared-use paths are parallel to a roadway and within the right-of-way, they may also have their own independent right-of-way and provide a connection wholly separate from the roadway. Shared-use paths are sometimes referred to as “trails,” however trails can also refer to natural surface or unimproved recreational facilities. While the term “trail’ may still be within the proper name of a shared-use path, care should be taken to not use these terms interchangeably, as they have different purposes and design requirements
TM 6.13 Evaluate the potential for commuter bus service connecting Annapolis and Bowie via the Northview Park-and-Ride Lot.

The Bowie Byway The Bowie Byway would be a north-south travel corridor where bicycle and pedestrian use would be given priority to the extent practicable, and would be reinforced by signage, pavement markings, environmental design, and street design (bump-outs and pedestrian crossings). Vehicular traffic would be managed for slow and safe operating speeds compatible with bicycle and pedestrian travel.* See Map 33. The Proposed Bowie Byway. *Source: City of Bowie Trails Master Plan Update. Lardner/Klein Landscape Architects, PC. (September 2019).
Greater Bowie Loop The Greater Bowie Loop would serve as a regional destination trail that would establish a hub and spoke system with connections between the regional trail system and two primary hubs located at Annapolis Road (Bowie Marketplace/Whitemarsh Park) and Bowie Town Center/Allen Pond Park (See Map 34. The Proposed Greater Bowie Loop).

M-NCPPC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Strategic Trails Plan* 1. Coordinate trail planning development with M-NCPPC Planning Department and DPR. 2. Adopt a policy framework to guide trail development activities on DPR lands. Clear policies ensure equitable development of trails geographically, and support DPR’s and Planning Department’s efforts to forge strong partnerships with County and state agencies as well as local communities, municipalities and trail user/advocacy groups. 3. Effectively manage the park trail network with regular, direct communication with users, ensure that safety matters are addressed in a timely manner, work with constituent groups and DPR divisions to upgrade the network with signage, lighting, and other amenities, manage the impacts to the trail system that result from the work of infrastructure agencies and developers, manage safety and access along the trail system daily and largely a separate function from managing safety and access to the park system through which the trails pass. 4. Maintain the park network to a standard commensurate with the agency’s national awards, expectations need to be raised, communications and coordination need to be improved, additional staff and equipment resources are needed, and volunteer/community contributions should be increased as well. 5. Activate the trail network through increased trail marketing and training and education programming. 6. Expand trail partnerships with constituents, public organizations such as municipalities and schools, and private organizations such as businesses and the health care community. *Note: The DPR Strategic Trails Plan is a strategic plan for trails planning and development and not an adopted functional master plan. 122 • 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022
Evaluate the potential for the construction of roundabouts, as well as protected intersections, to calm traffic and distinguish an active transportation corridor at the following intersections:
TM 8.3
When assessing the feasibility of traffic calming interventions to address observed safety deficiencies, the roadway operating and permitting agencies may permit traffic calming facilities, even if the expected level of service at an intersection or along a roadway segment may exceed the required level of service necessary to meet adequacy, or if the number of vehicles using a roadway near the potential traffic calming intervention does not exceed the traffic volume warrant.
Traffic Volume Warrant A traffic volume warrant is the minimum threshold, in terms of the number of motor vehicles under normal conditions, necessary to justify implementation of a roadway improvement project. For example, if an intersection is studied for a potential stop sign, traffic engineers will count the number of vehicles that use the intersection in an eighthour period, if enough vehicles travel through the intersection to exceed the minimum threshold or warrant, it may justify a stop sign. For stop signs and traffic lights, there are several different types of warrants which are related to traffic volumes, pedestrian volumes, traffic flow, proximity to schools, and crash history.

Transportation and Mobility Historic and Scenic Roads The preservation of designated historic and scenic roads is important to retaining the heritage, cultural landscapes, and community character of the County. Several reports have inventoried or designated the County’s historic and scenic assets, including the 1984 Scenic Roads Study and the Prince George’s County Historic Sites and Districts Plan (1992 and 2010), the 2009 Countywide Master Plan of Transportation, DPR’s 1828 Levy Court Road Survey (completed by DPR in 2005), Prince George’s County: A Description of the Roads as They Currently Exist, general plans, area master plans, and separate resolutions of the County Council. Conservation and enhancement of these specially designated roadways are intended to provide safe and enjoyable travel, while preserving the resources within the rights-of-way and on adjacent land. All road designs and construction need to provide a consistently safe and visually varied environment that is pleasing to users and adjacent property owners. During the land development process and the review of road improvement projects, the natural, cultural, and historical resources within the right-of-way and adjacent to a road are evaluated for preservation or enhancement. Extensive efforts have been made to preserve and enhance the viewsheds of designated scenic and historic roads through the strategic placement of new development and the preservation or enhancement of vegetation. Scenic easements also provide permanent protections to viewsheds adjacent to scenic and historic roadways. The 2018 Prince George’s County Landscape Manual, requires, under 4.6 (Buffering Development from Streets), to “preserve and enhance the scenic and/or historic landscape qualities within the viewshed adjacent to Special Roadway.” The goal is to conserve viewsheds, community character and other natural and cultural features of Special Roadways to the fullest extent possible when considering transportation improvements and when reviewing new land development proposals.

What is a scenic road versus a historic road? A scenic road is defined in Subtitle 23 of the Prince George’s County Code as:
“A public or private road, as designated by the County Council, which provides scenic views along a substantial part of its length through natural or manmade features, such as forest or extensive woodland, cropland, pasturage, or meadows; distinctive topography including outcroppings, streambeds and wetlands; traditional building types; historic sites; or roadway features such as curving, rolling roadway alignment and leaf tunnels.” [Prince George’s County Code, Section 23-102(b)(17)(H)]
A historic road is defined in Subtitle 23 as:
“A public or private road, as designated by the County Council, which has been documented by historic surveys or maps, and maintains its historic alignment and historic landscape context through views of natural features, historic landscape patterns, historic sites and structures, historic farmstead groupings, or rural villages.” [Prince George’s County Code, Section 23-102(b)(17)(C)]

Transportation and Mobility Policy TM 13 Conserve and enhance the viewsheds along designated roadways in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity. TM 13.1
Use existing County Code provisions for scenic easement tax credits in establishing a voluntary easement program to protect viewsheds along designated roadways.
TM 13.2 Require the maximum possible conservation and enhancement of the existing viewsheds of designated roads during the review of land development or permit applications, whichever comes first. Elements to be considered shall include views of structures from the roadway; design character and materials of constructed features; preservation of existing vegetation, slopes, and tree tunnels; use of scenic easements; and limited access points to special roadways.
Traffic Calming And Safety Policy TM 15 Create a safer and more inviting Church Road corridor in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity. TM 15.1

Church Road Church Road is a major north-south corridor in BowieMitchellville and Vicinity. Community members have expressed concerns about the safety of the road and speeding drivers after a recent pedestrian fatality along Church Road. The number of motor vehicle lanes on Church Road will either remain at, or be reduced to, two. However, Church Road will maintain the same recommended right-of-way width. This space will be used to provide wide shared-use paths in both directions to improve walking and bicycling. The current alignment of Church Road (C-300) runs from Oak Grove Road in the south to MD 450 (Annapolis Road) in the north. However, approximately 0.5 mile south of MD 450 (Annapolis Road) there is a Pepco utility corridor and environmentally sensitive land that separates the northernmost segment of Church Road from the rest of the roadway. In order to complete the connection to MD 450 (Annapolis Road), there is an old feeder road that connects into the endpoint of Church Road south of the utility corridor. This feeder street was the original alignment for Church road and intersects with Old Annapolis Road, which in turn connects to MD 450 (Annapolis Road). This plan recommends renaming the feeder street as Old Church Road. Furthermore, this plan recommends classifying the Old Church Road right-of-way as a master plan primary rightof-way and eliminating the master plan classification, C-300, for the segment of Church Road north of the utility corridor. For the rest of Church Road, between Old Church Road and Oak Grove Road, it is recommended to maintain its master plan collector right-of-way classification, have two motor vehicle lanes, and shared-use paths for walking and bicycling on both sides. Lastly, it is recommended that a single shared-use path be constructed through the utility corridor and environmentally sensitive lands, connecting both sections of Church Road, until it is feasible to build motor vehicle lanes connecting the sections. 130 • 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022
To maximize connectivity and cohesion within Bowie Local Town Center, implement a variety of pedestrian enhancements to MD 197 (Collington Road) between US 50 (John Hanson Highway) and US 301 (Robert Crain Highway), including, but not limited to: • Leading Pedestrian Interval at all intersections. • Median refuge areas consistent with Americans with Disabilities Act, AASHTO, and County standards to provide sufficient space for persons with disabilities and families with small children. • Sufficient crossing times. • Curb extensions.

A protected intersection is an intersection with corner refuge islands, stop bars for cyclists set ahead of those for motorists, bicycle-friendly signal phasing, and bike lane setbacks that give turning motorists a clear view of crossing cyclists. The combination of these elements creates an intersection where cyclists and pedestrians are more readily seen by motorists and the nonmotorized travelers have shorter distances to travel to cross the street.

Existing Conditions Summary The Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity master plan area reflects a unique natural environment. Key topics in the Natural Environment element include the preservation and protection of watersheds, streams, wetlands, green infrastructure and Special Conservation Areas, tree canopy and forest cover, stormwater and floodplain management, and impervious surfaces. Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity lies within nine subwatersheds in the Patuxent River basin. The Patuxent River along the plan area’s eastern boundary, is a major tributary to the Chesapeake Bay and one of three main river drainages for Central Maryland. There are about 400 miles (2,153,546 linear feet) of known streams, 2,175 acres of known wetlands, and 2,946 acres of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain within Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity. There are approximately 180 acres of Nontidal Wetlands of Special State Concern (NTWSSC) within the plan area. Data reveal that the nine sub watersheds associated with the Patuxent River exhibit fair to very poor water quality.1 Most of this plan area was developed by the 1970s, before the adoption of environmental regulations regarding woodland conservation, stormwater management, or stream, wetland, and floodplain protections. Without these important controls, stream buffers were removed, wetlands were filled, some streams were channelized, and multiple stream crossings were constructed using standard culverts to access more land for development. This process was also accompanied by the creation of large areas of impervious surfaces, mostly parking lots and roads. Tree canopy coverage within Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity is relatively high at 38 percent, but the amount of imperviousness is also high. The plan area currently retains about 28,000 acres of tree canopy and forest cover. Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity showed an overall increase of 8 percent in forest cover and tree canopy coverage between 1938 and 2017, due in part to street tree plantings and reforestation programs, but mostly because of the retention of large tracts of woodland in the Patuxent River Park, the establishment of the Belt Woods Natural Environment Area, and tree canopy retained in the Rural and Agricultural Area.

Water Quality Water quality is a multifaceted rating system that measures seven factors: temperature, acidity (pH), dissolved oxygen, dissolved solids, i.e., conductance, particulate matter, i.e., turbidity, hardness, i.e., dissolved calcium and magnesium, and suspended sediment. This is categorized into five categories: Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, and Very Poor. Development can impact water quality by increasing the amount of impervious surface which leads to increased stormwater runoff.
Trees Forest cover and tree canopy coverage is especially important to protect air and water quality, as trees help trap airborne fine particulates (such as pollen, dust, and those found in smoke and haze), provide shade that helps reduce urban heat island effect, reduces the thermal impacts of stormwater runoff, and reduces the overall quantity of stormwater runoff.
Sustainability And Climate Change Preservation of streams, forested areas, wetlands and other habitats are imperative for protecting natural ecosystems. Protecting the natural environment not only requires protection of the water, soil, and air resources required for human survival, but also the ecosystem functions required to support the diversity of life on this planet. Preservation of native species is essential to supporting the complex food webs native to this region. Mature forest ecosystems also play an essential role in removing carbon from the atmosphere and reversing the effects of climate change.

Natural Environment Imperviousness within Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity is high at nearly 8,000 acres, or 20 percent of the plan area. The high level of imperviousness and associated construction-compacted soils in the central portion of the plan area result in excessive, rapid stormwater runoff into receiving streams and wetlands. Roads, buildings, and parking lots cover nearly 5,000 acres, accounting for 62 percent of the plan area’s total impervious cover.
Countywide Green Infrastructure Network The 2017 Prince George’s County Resource Conservation Plan: A Countywide Functional Master Plan, which replaced the 2005 Green Infrastructure Plan, builds on the policies and strategies of the 2005 plan to achieve the County’s long-term vision of an interconnected network of significant Countywide environmental features that retain ecological functions, maintain or improve water quality and habitat, and support the desired development pattern of Plan 2035. The Green Infrastructure Plan, Section II of the 2017 Resource Conservation Plan, used the same general guidelines to update the green infrastructure network.
Nontidal Wetlands of Special State Concern (NTWSSC) Nontidal Wetlands of Special State Concern (NTWSSC) are nontidal wetlands of very high ecological and educational value. They are the best examples of Maryland’s nontidal wetland habitats and many contain the last remaining populations of native plants and animals that are now rare and threatened with extinction in the state. NTWSSC wetlands receive special protection under the state’s nontidal wetlands regulations, including a minimum 100-foot-wide buffer. There are approximately 180 acres of NTWSSC wetlands at three locations within the master plan area.

Green Infrastructure Retrofit Section 502 of the Clean Water Act defines green infrastructure as “...the range of measures that use plant or soil systems, permeable pavement or other permeable surfaces or substrates, stormwater harvest and reuse, or landscaping to store, infiltrate, or evapotranspirate stormwater and reduce flows to sewer systems or to surface waters.” Green infrastructure retrofitting strategies often occur at the neighborhood or site scale, stormwater management systems that mimic nature soak up and store water. Examples include rainwater harvesting, green roofs, and planter boxes. (Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, https://www.epa.gov/) Source: All photos by M-NCPPC

Existing Conditions Summary The Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan Area is undergoing demographic changes; residents born between 1986-1995 (millennials) and residents born before 1955 (age 65 and older) comprise the fastest growing age groups. Nationwide trends are showing that these groups share a preference for walkable, mixed-use communities. As these populations increase, they will influence housing demand in the plan area. Typical of post-World War II suburban communities, Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity’s housing stock largely comprises (71 percent) single-family detached houses in low-density neighborhoods. Three-quarters of the area’s housing stock is more than 20 years old. Although the 2008 Great Recession disproportionately affected Prince George’s County more severely than other jurisdictions in the region, the plan area’s housing market is stable and healthy. Recent housing development in the area continues to largely be single-family detached houses. There has been limited multifamily and townhouse development in the past decade.
Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity is projected to have 32,120 households by 2025, most of which will be households aged 65 and older. At the same time, more than 1,000 households between ages 45 and 54 are expected to leave the plan area. These demographic shifts may create a surplus of large, single-family detached houses, while there may be a gap in townhouses and multifamily units that seniors and millennials increasingly demand. Today, the plan area’s development pipeline includes more than 1,600 single-family detached homes, 800 townhouses, 100 condominiums, and 1,800 multifamily units, which may partially address this gap.
Net Household Growth 2025 Household = 32,120 2030 Household = 32,465 2035 Household = 32,965 2040 Household = 33,151 2045 Household = 33,170
Source: WMCOG 2016
This growth in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity creates opportunities and challenges in planning for the future population’s housing demands. Balancing housing demand ( for a range of housing types) with supply (primarily single-family detached housing) is a major challenge, which developments like Melford Town Center and South Lake are already beginning to address. Housing-cost burden remains a challenge for some residents in the plan area. However, additional housing units and an aging housing stock may alleviate affordability issues. Seniors’ and millennials’ increasing demand for dense, walkable neighborhoods along with continued anticipated demand for new single-family, detached housing presents a range of opportunities including the potential to attract new employers, strengthening existing nodes through infill development, and creating healthier communities with increased walkability.

Sustainability and Climate Change-Housing and Neighborhoods Mixed-use, well-connected, and walkable neighborhoods can reduce carbon emissions while providing a greater range of services as well as affordable housing options for all income levels. In these neighborhoods, there is less incentive to drive and instead residents have active transportation alternatives such as biking and walking. Policies and programs that support energy retrofits for housing in older neighborhoods and carbon-neutral standards for new housing developments can significantly reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions while increasing home values.

Housing Affordability Programs Several major housing affordability programs by the State of Maryland could be used by residents and developers in the plan area. This includes:
Policy HN 2 Preserve and expand existing senior housing and transit-accessible housing. HN 2.1
Preserve existing senior affordable multifamily housing in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity by forming a partnership with the Prince George’s County Housing Authority, DHCD, and the City of Bowie.
HN 2.2
Expand universal design housing choices, including “visitable” units, which allow for barrier-free access into the first floor and to a first-floor restroom.
• The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) is a tenant-based voucher program that provides tenants the opportunity to live where they choose by having the Rental Assistance Division pay the property owner the difference between 30 percent of the adjusted family income and the gross rent for the unit, depending upon whether the rent for the unit is more or less than an established voucher payment standard.
• The Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program (HCVHP) uses a voucher subsidy to help first-time homeowners purchase a home.
• The Moderate Rehabilitation Program (Mod Rehab) provides project-based rental assistance for low-income families. The Housing Authority can allocate up to 20 percent of its voucher assistance to specific housing units if the multifamily housing owner agrees to rehabilitate or construct units or set aside a portion of the units in an existing development as affordable in exchange for low-interest loans. The subsidy is property-specific and will not transfer with the family if it moves.
• Prince George’s County Purchase Assistance Program offers first-time home buyers assistance for a down payment, mortgage principal reduction, and closing cost assistance. The program is funded by the Housing Investment Trust Fund and administered by the Redevelopment Authority of Prince George’s County. 154 • 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022
Conduct an areawide study to see if mixedincome development would be financially feasible.

Existing Conditions Summary The Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan area is rich in history and culture and contains significant individual sites like Melford, Goodwood, and Belair Mansion and Stables (see Appendix C Inventory of Historic Sites). There are also identified areas with concentrations of heritage resources like Old Town Bowie, which is significant for its history as a railroad town. Other historic features include a portion of the Anacostia Trails Heritage Area (ATHA), as well as numerous documented and culturally significant sites. Two small yet notable African-American communities include Fletchertown, centered around Old Fletchertown Road, and Duckettsville. Historically, many families in these communities worked for the railroad around which the Town of Bowie was founded and developed, while others were farm workers and small farm owners. There are also several organizations that host and support cultural events around a variety of themes including horse racing, African-American history, and railroad history. The City of Bowie, Bowie State University, ATHA, and the Bowie Railroad Museum all host and sponsor cultural events and programming. Although the Bowie railroad station was relocated to Bowie State University in 1989, the original railroad station is preserved at the Bowie Railroad Museum, which houses the National Railroad Historical Society’s Martin O’Rourke Railroad Research Library. Old Town Bowie could become a Maryland Arts and Entertainment District with its historic architecture, long history, and potential partnerships with local arts and entertainment groups and an expanded collection of small businesses in a walkable community. Overall, the existing character and retail shows potential for eventual designation as an Arts and Entertainment District. Historically, Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity was closely tied to agriculture and had a bucolic landscape with major plantations such as Fairview, Williams Plains, Pleasant Prospect, and Melford. The Rural and Agricultural Area, mostly east of US 301, retains its roots. However, west of US 301, much of the rural landscape has been altered with housing developments.

Community Heritage, Culture, and Design Melford Mansion (Historic Site PG:71B-16) Located in the center of the Melford development, there is a beautiful example of a Greek Revival style brick plantation house built in the 1840s for Dr. Richard Duckett. It is characterized by an uncommon semicircular protruding bay and chimney feature along the southern gable. Its unique architecture and importance as the home to two prominent local families, the Ducketts and the Hardestys, makes this a noteworthy historic site.
Melford Mansion
Belair Mansion and Belair Stables (Historic Site PG: 71B-004 and 71B-005) This 275-year-old historic mansion was constructed circa 1745 for Samuel Ogle, the provincial governor of Maryland, and his wife, Anne Tasker Ogle. It is a five-part Georgian Style plantation house, enlarged in 1914 by the New York architectural firm Delano and Aldrich. Its restoration led to its current function as a museum owned by the City of Bowie. Accompanied by the Belair Stables, this historic property is a reminder of Bowie’s long traditions as a key location of horse breeding and racing in Maryland.

Goodwood (Historic Site PG: 74B-014) Constructed by George Calvert in 1799, Goodwood is a two-story, brick rural villa of the Federal style. The house was later adapted as the west wing of a three-part Greek Revival Style mansion in 1830. The later additions of the central and east wing were destroyed by fire 1934. Since this time, contemporary additions have been constructed, but the property sits in disrepair.

The preservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse of historic properties can create vibrant communities that attract economic activity, provide a range of housing options, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Reuse and recycling of building materials preserves local cultural heritage while supporting sustainable construction practices. Minimal site disturbance during renovations leads to less environmental disruption and a lower carbon footprint.

Healthy Communities
Healthy Communities
GOAL PLAN 2035 GOAL
Create safe, connected communities that promote active lifestyles and provide convenient access to healthy foods.
Healthy Communities Goals 1.
All residents have improved access to healthy food, high-quality parks and open space, recreational facilities, and community centers.
2.
Local agricultural growers, producers, and consumers have expanded access to markets, increasing the supply and availability of fresh produce and other farm-to-table products.
Existing Conditions Summary Access to healthy foods is uneven throughout BowieMitchellville and Vicinity, and more than 12,000 residents live in Limited Supermarket Access (LSA) areas. Lack of access to fresh and healthy food options can contribute to a range of health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. At the County level, more than two-thirds of the adult population is overweight or obese and this rate continues to rise each year. The plan area overall has relatively high supermarket access by car; 62 percent of residents live within a 10-minute drive from a supermarket. However, the area does have limited access to fresh and healthy food by foot or bicycle; less than ten percent of residents live within a 10-minute walk of a supermarket.
This is particularly seen in the northern and eastern portions of the planning area. In addition to improving pedestrian and bicycle facilities, access can be improved by developing future mixed-use areas where residential and commercial uses are concentrated. This type of development creates active means of transportation to healthy foods while supporting the plan’s larger objectives to encourage healthy lifestyles and lessen environmental impact. There are 64 parks in the plan area, many with walking and biking trails or active recreation facilities such as playgrounds, sports complexes, or exercise equipment. With the number of parks dispersed across BowieMitchellville and Vicinity, most residents can access a local or regional park within a 10-minute drive. However, just like access to healthy foods, the plan area has low accessibility by foot or bicycle, with only 22 percent of the plan area falling within a 10-minute walk, and 74 percent falling within a 10-minute bicycle ride. Overall, Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity has good access to food by car and is rich in parks, recreational facilities, and trails, with most residents living within a short drive to these amenities. It is still important to improve connectivity and walkability to promote active transportation (walking or biking) and lessen the dependence on an automobile to reach these destinations. This gets people out of their vehicles and creates the opportunity to exercise by walking or biking.
Sustainability and Climate Change— Healthy Communities The master plan supports healthy communities by increasing equitable access to healthy food and by developing infrastructure that promotes active lifestyles. Accessibility to fresh, locally grown food supports local agriculture producers, promotes a healthier diet for consumers, and reduces energy requirements for food distribution. An active lifestyle can increase quality of life and wellbeing while promoting active transportation modes that minimize vehicle emissions. Taking action to curtail climate change will ensure the health of future generations by reducing the life-threatening impacts of future temperature extremes, storm damage, flooding, fire, and other hazards.

AREAWIDE Policy HC 1 Improve access to community gardens, urban agriculture, and other food sources. HC 1.1
HC 1.2
Prioritize implementation of future community gardens in neighborhoods farther away from existing community gardens, grocery stores, and farmers markets, where healthy food access is lowest. This includes the Cameron Grove, Woodmore, and High Bridge Estates communities (see Map 46. Agriculture and Farm Fresh Food in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity and Map 47. Supermarket Access in the Master Plan Area (Walking and Driving). Expand the community gardens at South Bowie Center and Kenhill Center with programming to educate and promote urban agriculture. Improve accessibility and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.
Policy HC 2 Improve pedestrian and bicycle access to parks and open space, libraries, and recreation/ community centers that have available opportunities for physical activity and healthrelated programming. HC 2.1
Identify and prioritize opportunities to extend pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure such as trails and sidewalks to connect residential areas to parks and open space, libraries, and recreation/community centers (see Transportation and Mobility Section and PF 2.3).
Health and Wellness Programs
Sustainable Communities Program
The Bowie Senior Center promotes health and wellness by successfully implementing health-related programming and opportunities for its residents. This includes seminars about making healthy lifestyle choices, a well-equipped fitness room with weight training machines and cardio equipment, and several fitness classes.
The State of Maryland established the Sustainable Communities designation to strengthen reinvestment and revitalization in older communities such as City of Bowie. Having been designated as a Sustainable Community the city is eligible for several state incentive programs and benefits. These include the Community Legacy, Neighborhood Business Works, and Strategic Demolition and Smart Growth Impact Fund programs, for which Sustainability Community designation is a threshold requirement. Bowie is continuing to develop a blueprint to grow as an environmentally sustainable community. The City of Bowie practices better environmental health by offering rebate programs, such as a $100 discount off the $400 cost to conduct an energy audit in a private residence.

Section XIII Public Facilities
Public Facilities
GOAL PLAN 2035 GOAL
Enhance the quality of life and economic competitiveness of Prince George’s County through the efficient, equitable, and strategic siting of education, public safety, water and sewer, solid waste, and parks and recreation facilities.
Public Facilities Goals 1.
All students have quality educational instruction in modern facilities.
2.
High-quality, well-maintained public facilities catalyze economic development and revitalization, stimulate employment growth, strengthen neighborhoods, and improve quality of life.
3.
Fire and emergency medical services (EMS) respond areawide in established response times.
Existing Conditions Summary Public facilities in the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity master plan area are spaces for learning, social gathering, and public safety and wellness. Spaces for learning include schools and libraries, which may also serve social gathering functions; other social gathering spaces include community and recreation centers. Infrastructure that promotes health and safety include police and fire stations, hospitals, and health clinics. Both M-NCPPC and the City of Bowie provide a robust park system in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity. With parks comprising 10 percent of its land area, BowieMitchellville and Vicinity offers 42 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, exceeding Prince George’s County’s Level Of Service (LOS) standard of 35 acres per 1,000 residents. In 2021, Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity contained 64 parks, of which 66 percent have trails or other active recreation facilities. Residents in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity have good access to parks by automobile, with 86 percent able to reach a park in 10 minutes or less. Access on foot, however, is considerably more limited, as only 22 percent of residents can walk to a park in 10 minutes or less. All types of public facilities in Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity are concentrated in older existing communities, particularly within the City of Bowie. This poses a
challenge for recently built communities, which are largely of lower density, mostly along the Church Road corridor, and have relatively less access to community facilities than residents in older communities. The plan area is home to two public libraries and three community centers. Many residents, especially within the City of Bowie, can reach libraries or community centers within a 10-minute bicycle trip, and nearly all can reach them within a 10-minute vehicle trip. Community centers are in areas where there is a critical mass of population, such as the City of Bowie, by design. As with libraries and community centers, health and safety services including police, fire, and hospital services, provide better coverage for the City of Bowie than newer communities. Though there are no fullservice hospitals in the plan area, the University of Maryland Bowie Health Center provides routine care and emergency room services, and nearly all residents are within a 21-minute national standard for suburban hospital access. Whereas most of the master plan area already can access emergent health care within a reasonable threshold, the Prince George’s County Fire/ EMS Department has identified sites for new stations to address locations underserved by first responders. Since 2010, the number of schools throughout the County in excess of PGCPS’ target 80-95 percent occupancy has grown significantly. In BowieMitchellville and Vicinity, Bowie High School, three elementary schools and one middle school are within PGCPS’s target utilization. Between 2010 and 2018, enrollment at Bowie High School declined by approximately 600 students. With a 2,772-student State Rated Capacity, Bowie High School’s 2020 enrollment was 2,428 students. At 87 percent utilization, Bowie High School is within target occupancy. There are two middle schools within Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity: Samuel Ogle MS and Benjamin Tasker MS; at the most recent enrollment census (2019), Samuel Ogle MS was at 88 percent utilization and Benjamin Tasker MS was at 103 percent utilization, clearly is above its target utilization range. Finally, of the 11 elementary schools within the master plan area, three are within optimal utilization, six are underutilized, and two are overutilized. PGCPS is conducting a boundary study to balance enrollment within optimal capacity range.

Public Facilities In Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity, good access to quality public facilities is an asset that must be maintained and expanded to underserved communities. While residents in the master plan area’s older, established communities enjoy generally good access to public facilities, communities outside the City of Bowie have comparatively less access to these amenities.
Sustainability and Climate Change— Public Facilities Public facilities are the foundation of a sustainable community and are key to its resiliency. Climate change will lead to greater threats from heat waves, storm damage, and flooding potential in this area. Emergency planning and preparedness that addresses the populations most vulnerable to these threats are the hallmark of a resilient community. The plan supports a diverse array of public facilities that will strengthen neighborhood services, ensure public safety in emergencies, and provide for community needs. Upgrades to public works facilities for handling waste, water, sewage, and backup power availability can both ensure rapid response to emergency situations and reduce energy and emissions that impact climate change. Climate change resiliency can be further supported through retrofitting existing public facilities to be low-carbon buildings.
Public-Private Partnership (P3) Alternative Financing School Infrastructure Program With the adoption of CR-100-2020 in October 2020, the Prince George’s County Council approved a resolution to adopt a PublicPrivate Partnership (P3) Alternative Financing School Infrastructure Program for public school construction and replacement projects in the County. Through an alternative delivery model, PGCPS will pay a developer to design, build, and maintain six schools over a 30-year service period. The program is intended to supply 8,000 school seats that will include five new middle schools and one K-8 school. At the time of this Plan’s publication, there were no P3 schools planned within Bowie-Mitchellville in Vicinity.

Section XIV
Implementation Framework
Introduction The area master plan serves as a policy guide for elected officials, government agencies, property owners, the real estate and development industries, and preservation and environmental organizations. The area master plan offers many policies and strategies to address planning issues in the area. Its goals, policies, and strategies will be realized through a variety of implementation mechanisms. These approaches include recommended legislative changes to applicable ordinances, capital improvement program commitments, operating budget initiatives, the incorporation of policy guidance in future master and sector plans, and a strategic plan for implementation. The strategic plan for implementation establishes a full set of priorities and benchmarks of progress. Successful implementation will take time and require the efforts of all stakeholders—government, the private sector, nonprofit organizations, property owners, and residents. The area master plan recommendations are intended to occur over a 20-year horizon, and implementation strategies have been categorized according to priority and projected time of completion. The assigned time frames are not fixed; rather, they are intended to be flexible and to allow for implementation to occur as opportunities and resources arise.
Time Frame Short-Term (1-5 years) Mid-Term (6-10 years) Long-Term (10+ years)
Implementation time frames are as follows: Short-term: Strategies intended to be implemented by 2027. These strategies may require fewer resources and may be easier to accomplish in the near-term. Alternately, they may be high-priority strategies that lay the foundation for the implementation of later strategies. Mid-term: Strategies intended to be implemented between 2027 and 2032. These strategies may require interagency collaboration or additional resources prior to implementation. Long-term: Strategies intended to be implemented beyond 2032. These strategies require complex interagency collaboration, analyses, or resources that may take many years before implementation can begin. They may also require that the regional real estate and employment markets shift favorably to support full implementation.
An implementation framework contains a series of programs and actions that work together because no one entity is solely responsible for implementing a master plan; it takes a dedicated, coordinated effort.
190 • 2022 Approved Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan: March 8, 2022
Implementation Matrices The following implementation matrices identify agencies and partners that may have a role in implementing each strategy. The matrices may not be inclusive of all agencies and partners; rather, the list is intended to support interagency collaboration and spur timely implementation of area master plan recommendations. As strategies are implemented over time, additional partners may be identified to assist with implementation. Note that the matrix does not contain strategies that are statements of policy or guidance whose implementation is their inclusion in this master plan. High-priority implementation measures are highlighted. These measures are considered essential to the realization of the master plan’s vision Table 41.

Strengthen the use of the Guidelines for the Design of Scenic and Historic Roadways in Prince George’s County, Maryland (DPW&T, 2006), as revised in the future, when evaluating applications within and adjacent to the rights-of-way of scenic and historic roadways. Consider a variety of techniques to protect the scenic and historic qualities of the designated roads during the review of applications that involve work within the right-of-way of a designated roadway. These techniques include alternative ways to circulate traffic; the use of the historic road section as one leg of a needed dual highway; provision of bypass roads; and limiting certain types of development and signs in the viewshed. Prepare Scenic Road Corridor Management Plans for Mill Branch Road, Queen Anne Bridge Road, Queen Anne Road, Church Road, and Woodmore Road, and significant designated roadways; and seek opportunities to implement the recommendations of established corridor management plans when development occurs. Construct a replacement for the Governor’s Bridge Road bridge (Historic Site PG: 74B-001) over the Patuxent River. Explore the feasibility of preservation and adaptive reuse of the existing historic bridge structure. Use existing County Code provisions for scenic easement tax credits in establishing a voluntary easement program to protect viewsheds along designated roadways. Require the maximum possible conservation and enhancement of the existing viewsheds of designated roads during the review of land development or permit applications, whichever comes first. Elements to be considered shall include views of structures from the roadway; design character and materials of constructed features; preservation of existing vegetation, slopes, and tree tunnels; use of scenic easements; and limited access points to special roadways. Develop guidelines for the design of activities adjacent to designated roadways to include building setbacks, landscaping, scenic easements, and utility clearing.

Provide shared-use paths along A-61 as well as US 301 (F-10). Where US 301 (F-10) and A-61 abut, a single shared-use path can be provided between the roadways. A-61 should be a north-south route parallel to US 301 (F-10) and provide access to adjacent communities and to US 301 (F-10). Construct a master planned road to provide vehicular access to properties on the east side of US 301 (F-10) between the new interchanges at MD 197 (Collington Road) and Queen Anne Bridge Road. This can be a service road or can access properties directly from Hideout Lane or Mill Branch Road. Identify opportunities to consolidate access points to F-10 and A-61, including driveway consolidation and service roads. Construct minimum 12-foot-wide shared-use paths in both directions with wide landscaping buffers to separate the shared-use path from motor vehicle traffic by at least 15 feet along US 301 (Robert Crain Highway) from Melford Boulevard to Leeland Road. As US 301 transitions into a controlled-access freeway (F-10), this shared-use path should be a parallel and separate facility. Construct bicycle lanes with a landscaping buffer and eight-foot sidewalks on both sides of A-61. Until the freeway is constructed, improve existing crossings at Harbour Way and Ballpark Road to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. This includes wider, better defined walking and bicycle space as well as shorter crossing distances, improved waiting areas, and protected crossing times. Construct all interchanges with, and crossings over and under, US 301/MD 3 (Robert Crain Highway) to include full pedestrian and bicycle amenities, including, but not limited to, barrierseparated shared-use paths and signalized crosswalks.

Monitoring and Evaluation
Plan 2035 Five-Year Evaluation The Plan 2035 Five-Year Evaluation analyzes the County’s progress toward the Plan 2035 vision and goals in fiveyear intervals. The evaluation provided insight into the implementation of the general plan’s longer-range policies and strategies and gauged their alignment with local, regional, and national demographic, socioeconomic, and environmental trends. As well, the evaluation identified completed strategies, programs, and projects. Findings from the evaluation help inform possible minor plan amendments and modifications. The primary methodology to evaluate the success of the plan was the monitoring of specific indicators at one- and five-year intervals such as an increase of higher educational attainment or a decrease in poverty rates. The list of Plan 2035 indicators can be found in Plan 2035, Table 26: Indicators of Success (see page 268).
Evaluating Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity To evaluate, in part, the success of this master plan, the indicators shown in Table 50. Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Indicators of Success have been identified as those that can demonstrate progress toward achieving of the plan’s vision. Data will be collected to measure these metrics from March 2022 on and reported as part of the Master Plan Evaluation Program.
Table 50. Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Indicators of Success Indicator Retail Sales by Shopping Center
Target Increase
Percent of multifamily and townhouses of overall housing stock
Increase
Why is this important in BMVMP? Increased retail sales can demonstrate increased purchasing power, increased incomes, less leakage to surrounding areas, and the presence of the higher-end retail that residents demand.
An increase in the percentage of the plan area’s multifamily and townhouses demonstrates an increase in diversity in housing options that position the plan area to attract more residents, allow current residents to age-in-place, and make the plan area more attractive to businesses.

Why is this important in BMVMP? BSU MARC Campus Center is positioned by its proximity to campus to have some of the largest shares of pedestrian and bicycle commuting in the County. The more dwelling units in this area, the more people are able to walk and bike to campus or take MARC to jobs throughout the region. A decrease in SOV mode share means that fewer people are driving, which is good for air quality, carbon emissions, congestion, mental and physical health, economic competitiveness, and quality of life. Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity has always been a classic bedroom community. The evolution of the Collington Local Employment Area and the expansion of BSU presents an opportunity to increase the plan area’s employment base and create opportunities for workers to live close to their jobs. Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity has a large number of workers that leave the plan area for work, decreasing this number will allow for a greater live/work balance by decreasing commute times, ensuring people have more time for other activities, while also lowering their carbon footprint. Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity holds most of the agricultural land in the County with the most potential for growth. Increasing the market value of agricultural products will demonstrate growth in the market and the demand for locally grown products.

A-8. Community Engagement Summary Public participation is an essential element in the preparation of successful comprehensive master plans. The public and key stakeholders, such as elected and appointed officials, property owners, business owners, community leaders, students, and workers provide onthe-ground eyes and ears that can identify key issues of importance, critical feedback on the feasibility or desirability of plan recommendations, and support for plan approval and implementation.

Section 27-643 of the Zoning Ordinance requires submittal of a public participation program for District Council review and approval. The previously approved public participation plan for the BowieMitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan included the use of traditional and electronic media to quickly gather and disseminate information, interviews with key stakeholders and partner agencies, a field office presence, surveys, and briefings to decision-makers. However, in response to the impacts of COVID-19, the project team quickly modified the public participation program to an all-virtual planning process. The planning and public outreach process for the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan was designed to obtain and respond to detailed comments from as many area stakeholders as possible. This included translating our outreach materials to Spanish and using translation software for virtual meetings. Target groups included the City of Bowie, Bowie State University, community leaders, residents, property and business owners, land developers, officials, M-NCPPC staff, and others. The team used several techniques to ensure adequate feedback.
On August 6, 2019, staff attended the City of Bowie’s National Night Out event at Allen Pond Park. National Night Out is a community-police partnership that provides a unique opportunity for residents to increase awareness about crime prevention and safety, get to know their neighbors, and meet local law enforcement and other public safety officers. Staff solicited feedback and shared information with more than 100 community members about the upcoming master plan. Key Stakeholder/Focus Group Meetings Staff held 24 meetings with Bowie State University, the City of Bowie, key property owners, agency partners, and other stakeholders from October 2019 through March 2021. More than half of these meetings were held virtually using platforms such as Microsoft Teams and GoToMeeting. Additionally, these meetings allowed us to engage with more than 250 stakeholders who helped identify major issues, challenges, and opportunities in the planning area.

Staff met one-on-one virtually with 24 stakeholders from August 2020 through October 2020 to answer specific questions about the plan and receive input. Stakeholders included civic groups, landowners/ property owners, and other key stakeholders. Virtual Community Chats From August 2020 through October 2020, staff invited community members to participate in an eight-part series called Community Chat. Each chat focused on a specific plan element, such as land use, economic prosperity, and housing and neighborhoods. These meetings allowed open discussion between staff and community members. Each meeting started with staff providing a brief presentation about the specific planning element and facilitated discussion and question and answer segments. These virtual sessions included approximately 200 attendees.

On September 16, 2020, staff introduced a draft existing conditions report and held a public presentation and meeting that provided an overview of the major findings. At this meeting, staff facilitated small breakout groups to talk about the challenges and opportunities identified in the report. The full report was also posted on the project website for public comment. The meeting was attended by 80 people. Virtual Community Walk Shop Staff led two virtual focus area tours of Bowie Town Center and Old Town Bowie in November 2020. The tours were prerecorded and shared on the Department’s project website, social media networks (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook), YouTube, and the project’s Konveio website. Speak Out—Youth Element Staff met virtually with a focus group of students from Bowie State University (BSU) to discuss planning and how they envisioned the future of the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan area. Additionally, staff used surveys and other interactive tools to solicit feedback. The survey was conducted in mid-October 2020 with 98 student participants. The focus groups were held the last week of October 2020. Staff hosted three identical one-hour virtual events with a professor and approximately 20 students.

HOW DO YOU ENVISION THE FUTURE OF BOWIE STATE UNIVERSITY/BOWIE-MITCHELLVILLE AND VICINITY? “I hope Bowie State broadens the size of the campus for students to have the option to live on campus or off-campus. I envision a safer environment than what is already offered to the campus and better eating choices to those who have different eating habits compared to the masses.”
“More outdoor adventure places such as zip-lining and hiking spots. More townlike shopping plazas. Trolleys.”
“I envision Bowie State to expand their facilities and have more housing for students.”
“More housing, more accessible parking.”

Playbook of Strategies Presentation On November 12, 2020, the project team and consultants presented the Playbook of Strategies for the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan through a live virtual event with 120 attendees. Staff and consultant team met with stakeholders to discuss potential urban design recommendations for three key sites: Old Town Bowie, Free State Shopping Center/ Bowie Marketplace on MD 450 (Annapolis Road), and Bowie Gateway. The Playbook of Strategies provides planning and urban design strategies for consideration in the ongoing drafting of the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan. The report introduces key focus areas and corridors in the plan area that are being further reviewed for their unique planning challenges and opportunities. The included matrix of strategies outlines possible master plan recommendations by each planning element
Bowie State University Transit-Oriented Development Work Group Beginning in early 2020, MDOT convened a work group consisting of representatives of Bowie State University, the Office of the Prince George’s County Executive, the Planning Department, MDOT State Highway Administration, MDOT Maryland Transit Administration, the Revenue Authority of Prince George’s County, and other key stakeholders to advance transit-oriented development at the Bowie State MARC Station. This group met monthly to discuss ongoing initiatives (such as this master plan) and coordinated on an application for MDOT TransitOriented Development designation. This designation positions select transit stations as eligible for state technical assistance and funding to support transitoriented development. The State Smart Growth Sub-Cabinet recommended designation of the Bowie State MARC Station in September 2020. This group also provided critical input on this master plan’s recommendations for the Bowie State University MARC Campus Center.

Appendix E. Functional Master Plan and Recent Other Relevant Plans and Studies FUNCTIONAL MASTER PLANS Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity is subject to Prince George’s County’s nine functional master plans. These plans each made recommendations applicable to Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity. Table E-1. Functional Master Plans Functional Master Plan
Description
1983 Adopted and Approved Functional Master Plan Public School Sites in Prince George’s County
This plan re-evaluated the need for more than 200 undeveloped school sites in the County’s area and subregional master plans and removed more than 140 privately owned sites, and 47 undeveloped sites owned by the Board of Education from the master plans. The plan describes Anacostia Trails Heritage Area (ATHA) and tourism resources; provides strategies for heritage tourism, interpretation, stewardship, and linkages; and discusses implementation. This plan addresses facility needs for each public safety agency—Prince George’s County Police Department, Prince George’s County Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department, Department of Corrections, Office of the Sheriff, M-NCPPC Park Police Division, and the Office of Emergency Management. This plan’s goals, policies, and strategies seek to ensure an efficient multimodal transportation infrastructure in the County that accommodates the needs of all user groups. This plan identifies and guides preservation of historic sites and resources, sets implementation priorities, and proposes an implementation plan.
2001 Anacostia Trails Heritage Area Management Plan: Functional Master Plan for Heritage Tourism
2008 Public Safety Facilities Master Plan
2009 Approved Countywide Master Plan of Transportation
2010 Approved Historic Sites and Districts Plan for Prince George’s County
Key Recommendations Relevant to Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity
• Retain a small number of sites to serve projected increased enrollment in some areas of the County.
• Fund Bowie Heritage Trail in design and construction through grants associated with ATHA. • Create publications and outreach materials to advertise ATHA in the Bowie area.
• Construct two new Fire/EMS stations with the highest priority: Northview Fire/EMS Station (opened 2009) and Beechtree Fire/ EMS Station. • Construct, over the long-term, a new Fire/EMS Station near the intersection of Woodmore and Mount Oak Roads. • Construct a new PGCPD district station in the WoodmoreGlenn Dale area.
• Create dozens of new or expanded bicycle, pedestrian, and road improvements that traverse the plan area. • Delete A-44 (the “Outer Beltway” or “Inter-County Connector Extended”) and upgrade MD 197.
• Install historical markers to interpret the history and story of the community, including African American sites. • Encourage the promotion of major historic assets of commercial areas. • Seek partnerships with public, private, and charter schools, the home school community, colleges and universities, and local trade schools to promote and implement historic preservation objectives.

2010 Water Resources Functional Master Plan
This plan identifies necessary policies and strategies to maintain adequate drinking water supply and wastewater treatment capacity to 2030 and to meet water quality regulatory requirements as the County continues to grow. This plan recommends an approach to sustaining farm and forest operations, prioritizes agricultural land preservation, and provides an implementation framework. This plan establishes a framework that will ensure the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) can meet future parks and recreation, programmatic, and facility needs. This plan combines related elements of green infrastructure planning, rural and agricultural conservation, forestry conservation, and rural character conservation into one functional plan.
2012 Approved Priority Preservation Area Functional Master Plan
2013 Formula 2040: Functional Master Plan for Parks, Recreation and Open Space
2017 Prince George’s County Resource Conservation Plan: A Countywide Functional Master Plan

Description
2021 MTA Bowie MARC Station Concept Plan
This document establishes a conceptual vision for the Bowie State MARC Station area based on the principles of transportation-oriented design (TOD) and the facility and housing needs for Bowie State University.
• Create a mixed-use community center that incorporates a set of vibrant neighborhoods with active, pedestrian-oriented streets with a small college town character. Higher-intensity land use activities should be focused in the Core and land in the Rural Tier should remain rural. • Rezone the community center to mixed-use zoning. • Provide new development with high-quality residential and nonresidential uses with appropriate densities for three designated neighborhoods within the community center. • Encourage a large private or state-government user to locate to the Bowie State MARC Office and Research Campus. • Encourage the construction of a BSU convocation center and laboratory school in the community center. • Establish a multidimensional branding campaign that brings clear identity to the area and promotes the area’s quality of life. • Ensure regulated areas designated in the green infrastructure network are preserved, restored, or enhanced during development review. • Use best management strategies to house and treat stormwater on-site through bio-retention swales, rain gardens, and manmade wetlands to capture and treat stormwater and allow it to permeate into the ground or percolate into nearby wetlands and the Patuxent River. • Support one specially designated, landmark LEED building for the BSU campus to enhance education and research in green technologies. This building should employ the latest green techniques and materials and be unique to encourage visitors to learn from its example. • Require the use of alternative-lighting technologies at athletic fields, parking facilities, and shopping areas to limit light intrusion and provide safe and even lighting levels. • Use crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) techniques for future development and redevelopment to create safe and comfortable areas for residents, workers, and visitors. • Enhance the streetscape along MD 197 with native trees, ornamental lighting, and local banners. • Construct new BSU buildings at the intersection of MD 197 and New Semchopk Road to serve as a formal gateway into the university. • Provide design strategies for the BSU physical campus that facilitate and strengthen ties with the local community as the university moves forward with its planned growth.

Appendix G. Public Facilities Cost Estimates Section 27-646(c)(4) of the Zoning Ordinance states: “all approved Master Plans shall contain an estimate of the cost of all public facilities which must be acquired and constructed in order to carry out the objectives and requirements of the Plan.” As an amendment to the Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity Master Plan, the Planning Board adds the August 19, 2021, Public Facilities Report with the cost estimates below:
PUBLIC FACILITIES REPORT The public facilities report was submitted to the District Council and County Executive on August 19, 2021, pursuant to Section 27-645(b)(1) of the Prince George’s County Code, which requires that prior to adoption or amendment of any preliminary plan, the Planning Board shall submit its proposals for public facilities in the plan to the District Council and County Executive to review, provide written comments, and identify any inconsistencies between the public facilities proposed in the plan and any existing or proposed state or county facilities including roads, highways, and other public facilities. The tables below identify the proposed public facilities to implement the vision and goals of the master plan. Most of the proposed public facilities are not included in the County’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) or state’s Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP) for funding. This report includes a review of all recommended state and County facilities and whether they are included in the current six-year capital improvement program (CIP) for the County. There are a variety of CIP projects that are designated as “Countywide” projects. These projects include Countywide ADA right-of-way modifications, bridge repair and rehabilitation, access to bus and Metrorail transit, pedestrian safety improvements, traffic congestion improvements, and transportation enhancements, among others. These Countywide CIP projects could be components of, or contribute to, this plan’s recommended transportation facilities, however, since the specific locations of these projects are not included in the CIP project descriptions, the recommended transportation facility is not considered to be in the CIP. This also applies to state capital programs, such as the Maryland Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP) or the State Capital Improvement Program for Bowie State University, and to the Capital Improvement Programs for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission or the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. It is important to remember: a Capital Improvement Program is generally a six-year program; this master plan contains recommendations for new and improved public facilities over a 25-year period. The estimated costs, in 2021 dollars, of the proposed public facilities are included pursuant to Section 27-646(c)(4) of the Zoning Ordinance.
LEGEND: M-NCPPC: The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission TBD: Specific jurisdiction of a proposed project will be determined as they advance through a planning or development process. Section XIV: Implementation Framework, of the Preliminary Master Plan contains more information about potential lead and supporting implementation partners.
