NAC-PDNeighborhood Activity Center Planned Development (NAC-PD)

Prince George's County, MD · Prince George's County Zoning Ordinance

The Neighborhood Activity Center Planned Development (NAC-PD) Zone is a Transit-Oriented / Activity Center Planned Development zone established for a specific property by a Planned Development Zoning Map Amendment (Sec. 27-3602). Its standards and permitted uses are NOT set by a countywide table: the District Council adopts a PD Basic Plan and PD Conditions of Approval by ordinance, and Sec. 27-3602 makes those documents the zoning text for the zone. To learn what applies to a specific parcel, obtain that parcel's approved PD Basic Plan and Conditions of Approval from M-NCPPC. PD zones are described generally at Sec. 27-4301 and the Transit-Oriented/Activity Center PD zones at Sec. 27-4303.

A standard shown as "set by" is banded in the ordinance — it depends on what you build or on the lot itself, so no single figure is true for the whole zone. The cited table is the authority; read the tier that matches your intended structure.

Permitted uses in NAC-PD

"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.
