Description: The Growth Policy area visually communicates where and how growth should evolve as a county over the next 20 years, as well as which parts of the County will not experience substantial change. The Growth Policy area takes into account existing development patterns, environmental features, existing and planned transportation investments, and projected growth and balances these factors with the County’s underlying capacity to meet the needs of existing communities and to accommodate future development. The data in this layer was created by combining existing data for the Growth Boundary from Plan 2035, along with heads up digitizing of the employment areas and future water and sewer areas. It is only a rough representation of the areas, not suitable for analysis at the property level, and meant to be refined with each master and sector plan.
Description: The Property_Info_Py layer dissolves properties from the "Property Flattened" layer with common tax account/ownership information (LDF records) creating many-to-one relationships between the LDF_Info records and Property_Info features, creating an ersatz "Ownership" map. For Zoning purposes, these boundaries are evaluated for frontage and side-yard provisions. Add and toggle the "Property_Flattened" layer on and off to see how 2 or more properties are combined to create one effective parcel.Each group of related LDF records is assigned one ACCOUNT number as the "PRIMARY" account (ACCT_PRIMARY) - usually the tax account with the highest valuation. Many numeric attributes from related LDF accounts are summed to the Property_Info features. (Dwelling Unit - DU, Valuation, Building Area, etc.) For non-numeric attributes from the related LDF accounts, the values from the Primary Account are used. (Owner, Ownership-Type, various Use Codes, etc.) In general, this produces satisfactory results since the account with the highest valuation is the predominate use and primary owner, BUT WHEN NON_NUMERIC DATA IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT -- YOU SHOULD ANALYZE THE PROPERTY_FLATTENED AND LDF TABLE for that data as it relates back to the Property_Info layer.
Description: This layer shows the Growth Boundary established through the approval Plan Prince George’s 2035, per CR-26-2014. The Growth Boundary designates the areas that may be eligible to receive public water and service and provides the demarcation between the Rural and Agricultural Areas and future growth areas. The Growth Boundary follows property lines and municipal boundaries. The Growth Boundary may be changed through General Plan amendment (such as through the approval of a new master or sector plan). CR-26-2014 is available at http://prince.he195.vps.webenabled.net/sites/default/files/documents/DC%20General%20Plan%20Final%20Resolution%20Signed%205-6-2014.pdf.
Description: The updated BRAC area of interest (Near Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington, formerly Andrews AFB) was determined using the DBED Proposed BRAC Zone Map. The amount of overlap has decreased from approximately 122 Acres to 0 Acres. The index of biotic integrity scores for Piscataway Creek 2 are BIBI: 4.14, FIBI: 4.33. The BRAC Zone boundary in this data set was derived from the Prince George's County Tier II/BRAC Assessment Focus on Area Near Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington map, produced on February 2, 2009.

Description: The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. County subdivisions are the primary divisions of counties and their equivalent entities for the reporting of Census Bureau data, and they include legally minor civil divisions (MCDs) and statistical census county divisions (CCDs), and unorganized territories. For the 2010 Census, the legal MCDs are the primary governmental and/or administrative divisions of counties in 29 States and Puerto Rico; Tennessee changed from having CCDs for Census 2000 to having MCDs for the 2010 Census. In MCD States where no MCD exists or is not defined, the Census Bureau creates statistical unorganized territories to complete coverage. The entire area of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas is covered by county subdivisions. The boundaries of all 2010 Census legal MCDs are as of January 1, 2010 as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). For the 2010 Census, CCDs or their equivalents are delineated in 21 States. The boundaries of all 2010 Census statistical CCDs were delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP).

Description: Plan Prince George’s 2035 created substantial changes to the General_Plan_Center_Poly data from the Approved General Plan from 2002. Adding seven new centers, mostly located around future Purple Line stations. Center typology changed with the approval of Plan Prince George’s 2035, where the Community, Regional, and Metropolitan center types are replaced with Local Center Types (Local Transit Centers, Neighborhood Centers, and Campus Centers) and Regional Transit Districts.Center boundaries follow property lines, zoning boundaries, TDO and DDO boundaries.Boundaries may currently be designated as a polygon, an intersection (such as Langley Park) a Metro station (such as Southern Avenue) or a MARC station (such as Seabrook).Centers may be changed through a General Plan amendment (such as through the approval of a new master or sector plan). Local Transit Center areas are primarily based upon future development of Purple Line Stations.
Name: General Plan Generalized Future Land Use (2035)
Display Field: GFLU
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: This layer was created by examining the future land uses from master, sector and transit district development plans that have been approved by the District Council in Prince George’s County since 2002 and digitizing the future land use from the approved plans. For areas of the county that did not have a recent land use plan or the land use plans were too old, greater than 15 years, the standard that the Approved Subregion 4 Master Plan(2009) set was utilized. After the future land uses were added to the FLU field, the land uses were then generalized. The generalization process first identified the future land uses that were less than or equal to twenty (20) acres in size. Once the future land uses that were less than or equal to twenty acres in size were identified, they were attributed with the adjacent predominate future land use and thus being generalized. If there was no predominate future land use surrounding the future land use, the future land use was not generalized. Any plan approved after May 6, 2014 will utilize the Generalized Future Land Use categories from the approved General Plan. The generalized land use categories do not identify permitted uses or imply dimensional standards. By definition, the generalized future land use should be interpreted broadly and is intended to provide a countywide perspective of future land use patterns. To identify the future land use designation for a specific property, please refer to the property’s relevant approved sector or master plan.The Approved Plan Prince George’s 2035 General Plan has identified ten (10) Future/Generalized Land Use categories. The categories are: Mixed-Use, Commercial, Industrial/Employment, Institutional, Residential High, Residential Medium-High, Residential Medium, Residential Low, Rural and Agricultural and, Parks and Open Space. The Generalized Future Land Use is to be used at the County scale while the Future Land Use can be used down to the parcel scale.

Description: Criteria for HUBZone Qualified Census Tract Designation:The Small Business Act defines a Qualified Census Tract (QCT) as having the meaning set forth in Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. That section of the tax code defines a QCT for purposes of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designates QCTs for purposes of the LIHTC program. The LIHTC statute provides two criteria for QCT eligibility. A census tract must have either: 1) a poverty rate of at least 25 percent; or 2)50 percent or more of its householders must have incomes below 60 percent of the area median household income. A QCT may be located in a nonmetropolitan county or metropolitan area. Further, the LIHTC statute requires that no more than 20 percent of the metropolitan area population reside within designated QCTs. (This limit also applies collectively to the nonmetropolitan counties in each state). Thus, it is possible for a tract to meet one or both of the above criteria, but not be designated as a QCT. The LIHTC statute does not provide for an appeal process to change the QCT designation of an individual census tract.

Description: An Opportunity Zone is an economically-distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualify as Opportunity Zones if they have been nominated for that designation by the state and that nomination has been certified by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury via his delegation authority to the Internal Revenue Service. Opportunity Zones were added to the tax code by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017. The first set of Opportunity Zones, covering parts of 18 states, were designated on April 9, 2018. Opportunity Zones are designed to spur economic development by providing tax benefits to investors. First, investors can defer tax on any prior gains until the earlier of the date on which an investment is sold or exchanged, or December 31, 2026, so long as the gain is reinvested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund. Second, if the investor holds the investment in the Opportunity Fund for at least ten years, the investor would be eligible for an increase in basis equal to the fair market value of the investment on the date that the investment is sold or exchanged. QOZ: "DESIGNATEDQOZ" = List of designated Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs). This variable was updated June 14, 2018, to reflect the final QOZ designations for all States. A total of 8762 population census tracts were designated. See IRS Notice 2018-48, 2018–28 Internal Revenue Bulletin 9, July 9, 2018, for the official list of all population census tracts designated as QOZs for purposes of §§ 1400Z-1 and 1400Z-2 of the Code.

Description: The public land data is mapped to support reporting efforts, as they relate to Sec. 2-111.01. - Sale, lease, or other disposition of County property. of the County Code of Prince George's County, under Subtitle 2 - Administration, Division 2 - County Executive. The data was extracted by exempt class code from SDAT records designated as public lands. This includes Federal Real Property (Codes 100-190), State owner real property (200-390), County owned (400-590) and Town or Municipality Owned (600-690). This data was compared to an existing report of public lands from Prince George's county, discrepancies between the two data sources were reviewed and resolved in the most appropriate way possible. Account information is related to individual properties and multiple properties are combined to create a singular site, which would be assigned a unique site ID. Accounts that were located were mapped and joined to the Department's Property_Flattened_Py feature class; accounts that could not be located are flagged in the source Oracle table and not mapped. The feature data and table are used to validate existing public land properties for an annual report generated for Prince George's County Department of the Environment. Data will be maintained on an annual basis by deriving extracts from the SDAT database and soliciting input from owning agencies.
Description: The interim Sustainable Communities designation will continue for a transition period and local governments will have the opportunity to apply for continued designation. The term of the transition period is as follows: Existing Designated Neighborhoods will automatically become Sustainable Communities effective June 1, 2010. The designation will continue for a period of 24 months, during which time local governments will have the opportunity to apply for continued Sustainable Communities designation. Community Legacy Areas designated prior to January 1, 2008 will become Sustainable Community for 24 months after June 1, 2010. Existing Community Legacy Areas designated on or after January 1, 2008 will be considered Sustainable Communities for a period of 36 months after June 1, 2010. An application procedure is being developed for local governments to request continued Sustainable Communities designation beyond the transition period. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will begin accepting applications for Sustainable Communities in the Fall of 2010. Applications for Sustainable Communities designation will be reviewed by an interagency panel led by DHCD and must be approved by the Governor’s Smart Growth Subcabinet. Once approved, newly designated Sustainable Communities (those that apply after June 1, 2010) will retain their designation for a period of five years. Sustainable Communities also include designated Transit Oriented Development Zones (TOD’s) and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Zones. These areas are automatically considered Sustainable Communities effective June 1, 2010 and do not need to reapply for continued designation. The first, second, and some of the thrid and fourth rounds have been updated. This is a MD iMap hosted service. Find more information at http://imap.maryland.gov.
Description: There are four SGA Tiers designated on the SGA Tier map approved by the County Council. Tier I areas are generally comprised of properties in sewer categories 3 and 4. These properties are considered approved for sewer service. Tier II areas are generally comprised of properties in sewer category 5 that are located within the Developed or Developing Tiers. These properties are considered planned for public sewer service. Tier III areas are generally comprised of properties that are not planned or zoned for public sewer service, not planned for preservation, are generally in sewer category 6, and are located in the Rural Tier. Tier IV areas are generally comprised of properties that are not planned or zoned for public sewer service and are planned for conservation of agricultural or forestry uses. These properties are generally in sewer category 6 and are located in the Rural Tier. Residential subdivisions on properties located in Tier IV are limited by the underlying zoning and are limited to a maximum of seven lots, regardless of the size of the property.
Description: Council of Governments Traffic Analysis Zones - COGTAZ is a stand-alone geography. COGTAZ is a geographic designation used by the Council of Governments to collect and analyze statistical information for input to COG's travel demand forecasting model. This geography is maintained by the Research Section and corresponds to the geography for which dwelling unit, household, population, and employment estimates are maintained and forecasts developed. There are currently a total of 2,191 COG-TAZs in the entire COG modeled region, and 380 of the zones are in Prince George's County. Each zone in the county is uniquely identified by a number ranging from 640 to 1020. (Since the unification of Takoma Park, there is no TAZ 648 in Prince George's County.) Coverage Derivation: The original coverage from the COG came with unspecified scale which has been adjusted to 1:2,400 scale. The following coverages (layers) were used to adjust the COGTAZ boundaries: PAZ, CAZ, PA, Streams, Muni., PGTAZ, Cline, Property, 2000 Aerial, Roadsall and Zoning. In addition, the Research Section also sought input from the Community and Countywide Planning Divisions to achieve further refinements to the geography and data. The boundaries and attribute data were checked by the Research Section staff for quality control. This data is current to Round 9 of the Council of Governments projections.

Description: This feature class represents areas in Prince George’s County, Maryland (the “County”) that are Tax Increment Finance Development Districts (TIFs). The County establishes TIFs by what is now a three-step process (details of which can be found in CR-38-2011):Establishment of development district (TIF district) by resolutionBond authorization by bill.Confirming resolution – approving TIF proposal, bond counsel certifications, and MBE plan certification.
Description: The Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative (TNI) focuses on uplifting six neighborhoods in the County that face significant economic, health, public safety and educational challenges. The objective of TNI is to improve key indicators in the targeted areas, such as violent crime, property crime, 3rd grade and 5th grade reading and math scores, school absentee rates, foreclosure rates, concentrations of Section 8 housing, income levels, pedestrian deaths/injuries and residents on public assistanceThe noted indicators for each TNI area are not all inclusive and based on neighborhood level Census Designated Place (CDP) data.Six areas of Prince George’s County have been designated in the TNI as having significant needs: 1) Langley Park; 2) East Riverdale/Bladensburg; 3) Kentland/Palmer Park; 4) Suitland; 5) Hillcrest Heights/Marlow Heights; and 6) Glassmanor.The designation is based primarily on substantial impact by violent crime rates, due to its overall impact on investment in the County by businesses, developers, and potential new residents. A secondary indicator of Education (3rd grade and 5th grade test scores) was also used to determine the areas for the TNI.A Deputy Chief Administrative Officer (DCAO) or Assistant DCAO will lead a team of agency representatives through an inventory and needs assessment of the area to develop an action plan to improve the need indicators, with as much input from local stakeholders, such as churches, towns, businesses, and civic associations, as possible. These plans are measured against individual indicators for each area, developed by each TNI area team, and provided monthly to the Office of Information Technology and Communications (OITC).The program will be reviewed every six (6) months to determine its impact on the local economy, the improvement of education, the safety of neighborhoods and the quality of health and human services. Annually, the program will be reviewed to determine if it should be continued.See http://co.pg.md.us/Government/ExecutiveBranch/tnifor further information.The TNI boundary are delineated and maintained by Prince George's County OITC.

Description: This data set approximates the boundaries of United States Postal Service (USPS) ZIP code delivery areas within Prince George's County, Maryland. The polygon boundaries are based on actual delivery areas used by mail carriers and captured to follow parcel boundaries wherever possible, with some following street centerlines, political boundaries, and topographic features. Since neither the U.S. Postal Service nor the U.S. Census Bureau maintains official ZIP code boundary files or maps, the M-NCPPC created this file in order to be able to map data aggregated by ZIP code. Planning Department staff relied on the official USPS website database and regional post office staff to delineate areas within which letter carriers delivered mail with the same ZIP code. This data set includes all the standard type ZIP codes, as well as the unique ZIP codes for the NASA Goddard Space Center, the University of Maryland College Park, the Southern Maryland Processing and Distribution Center, and the Washington Bulk Mail Center. Where the P.O.-box-only type of ZIP code differs from the surrounding standard ZIP codes, they are captured symbolically at each post office as a circular shape ten feet in diameter.
Description: As there is intended to be only one plan that actively applies to each property in the county, the Active Community Plan feature class was derived from existing plan boundaries to show only that portion that is active. Over time, a portion or all of and active plan may be superseded. The overlapping portion of a plan boundary that is superseded by a newer plan is removed from this data set and placed into a separate feature class for research purposes. A geodatabase containing feature classes of the superseded portions of each plan, as well as the original complete plan boundary are located on the Planning Department's internal network at J:\GIS\Layers\Community Plans.
Description: A one-quarter mile buffer to help guide Prince George’s County DPIE with the Public Safety and School Surcharge fees per CR-37-2018 and CR-38-2018, by locating the Platform Center or center point of all platforms for all fixed transit rail stations throughout Prince George's County, Maryland. Locations for Amtrak and MARC stations are identified from Amtrak and MTA maps and placed based on orthophotography and the center point derived by approximating the center of both platforms on either side of the track. Metro stations are identified from WMATA maps and placed based on orthophotography. Buffered areas do not exist for Purple Line stations because they are proposed and not yet built.
Description: Feature Class was developed by the Prince George's County Health Department and the Office of Information Technology’s GIS Division to display the Healthy Food Priority Areas. These areas were developed by using the Census Tracts as its base and determining the Healthy Establishments and Unhealthy Establishments, based of the Food Facilities Inspection data from the Health Department, in each tract. This was then used to determine the Retail Food Environment Index (RFEI) for each tract. This dataset was adopted as part of the County Council of Prince George’s County’s Healthy Food Priority Areas, CR-99-2020, legislation. Population information was gathered from the U.S. Census Department's American Community Survey (ACS) 2014 - 2018 estimates data. This data set is managed by the Prince George's County Office of Information Technology. This data is for internal use only and any request or inquiry should be directed to the GIS Manager of Prince George's OIT at 301-883-5343.
Description: This feature class describes the most up-to-date review areas for environmental planners within the Countywide Planning Division of Prince George's County Planning Department. Development review cases, natural resources inventories, tree conservation plans, permit applications, and other cases pertaining to environmental planning will be handled by the associated environmental planner for each attendant area. Environmental planners for Prince George’s County in 2019 are: Marc Juba, Megan Reiser, Kim Finch, and Chuck Schneider.
