CSG in the News: Prince George’s council pulls ‘Machiavellian’ zoning bill after uproar
September 16, 2022 | Washington Post | Daniel Wu
“The inclusion of CB-91 with those bills was “an extra Machiavellian move,” Cheryl Cort, policy director for the nonprofit Coalition for Smarter Growth, wrote to The Washington Post. Had they all passed, CB-91′s supermajority requirement would have solidified the outgoing county council’s final zoning amendments, passed under a lower burden.”
Testimony: Support for CB-86 & CB-87-2022
We are pleased to express our support for CB-86 and CB-87. These bills build on the many advances the County has made in recent years to address the housing needs of its residents. The Council and Executive have much to be proud of as these bills show how far we’ve come.
Testimony: Oppose CB-78, split-zoned properties allowed use of higher intensity zone
Prince George’s County Council should conduct a careful assessment to address appropriate rezoning of a split-zoned property
Testimony: Support CB-86 & CB-87-2022
Prince George’s County Council bills would create a Housing Board to implement the 10-year housing strategy, and support affordable housing tax relief in Right of First Refusal purchases.
Testimony: Oppose CB 77, CB 91 & CB 92
Fast-tracking these misguided zoning bills (specifically CB-69, 77, 78, 91, 92) not only devalues residents’ participation in the 8-year process that created the new code, it also undermines efforts to attract high-quality transit-oriented development.
