Prince George's County, MD · Prince George's County Zoning Ordinance
The Legacy Mixed-Use Town Center (LMUTC) Zone recognizes former Mixed-Use Town Center (M-U-TC) Zones established before April 1, 2022. It provides for a mix of commercial and limited residential uses supporting a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented town-center environment, and relies on the Development Plan approved at the time of zoning, which sets the minimum and maximum development standards and design guidelines in written and graphic form. Legally existing buildings may be expanded or altered, and uses established under valid permits are carried forward as permitted. Permitted uses and development standards are therefore property-specific -- governed by the zone's approved Development Plan rather than a countywide table (Subtitle 27, Sec. 27-4205(e); transitional provisions Sec. 27-1700). No property may be rezoned into a Legacy Zone after April 1, 2022.
Development standards in LMUTC
Maximum height
Set by the approved development plan for this property — see Sec. 27-4205
Maximum height is set by the approved development plan for this property. This is a planned district: the ordinance does not set one figure for the whole district, and those plans differ from property to property, so no single number would be true here. The section that says the plan governs is cited on each row above. For the plan that applies to a specific property, ask M-NCPPC / Prince George's Planning.

"Conditional" means the use generally requires a public hearing or special-exception approval — a very different timeline and risk profile from a by-right permit.
