Prince George's County, MD · Prince George's County Zoning Ordinance
The Legacy Mixed-Use Community (LMXC) Zone recognizes former Mixed-Use Community (M-X-C) Zones established before April 1, 2022 for which a Comprehensive Sketch Plan, Preliminary Plan of Subdivision, Final Development Plan, or Detailed Site Plan was approved before that date. Both the development standards and the permitted uses are property-specific: they follow the approved plan and the M-X-C Zone as it existed on April 1, 2022, not a countywide table (Subtitle 27, Sec. 27-4205(d); transitional provisions Sec. 27-1700). If the approved plan becomes invalid before the land is fully developed, the land is placed in another zone under Sec. 27-1700. No property may be rezoned into a Legacy Zone after April 1, 2022.
Development standards in LMXC
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.

Permitted uses in LMXC
ConditionalPer Approved Comprehensive Sketch Plan / PPS / FDP / DSP Uses follow the plan approved for this property and the uses permitted in the M-X-C Zone as it existed on April 1, 2022. Consult the approved Comprehensive Sketch Plan, Preliminary Plan of Subdivision, Final Development Plan or Detailed Site Plan, and Sec. 27-4205(d).
"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.
