The following comments were generated from permit review. Any questions or concerns regarding the following should be directed to the reviewer at the phone number provided above.

1. This permit is for an office in the C-M Zone. The work description says general contractor to conduct office related work as it pertains to projects/contracts. Will the use solely be a general business office or a contractor service that runs the day to day business of a general contractor including outdoor storage of equipment/materials and employees reporting here for work?

2. There are no prior approved permits for the subject property. The building was originally built as a single family dwelling in 1930, and zoned R-R on November 29, 1949. The property was then zoned C-O per SMA on November 8, 1977, and then rezoned to C-M on July 27, 1993. Permit 7152-88-U was placed on hold for a real estate office for compliance to all commercial and parking lot design standards and for a building permit for the required parking. This permit was not pursued and abandoned. Permit 6248-94-CE was placed on hold for an 8 foot fence for a contractor service with outdoor storage. The site was required to comply with all setback requirements of the C-M Zone, the Landscape Manual, and off street parking and loading per Part 11 of the Zoning Ordinance, and revision of the permit to include the required parking lot. This permit was not pursued and abandoned. In addition, per aerial photos the two sheds in the rear were added between 1993 and 1998, and then between 2000 and 2005 a 19.9’ x 30.03’ addition was added to the rear of the building, an addition to the north side of the building, and what appears to be a covered “carport like” structure was added to the front of the building extending off the subject property into Watkins Avenue. A building permit/permits, not a use and occupancy, must be applied for to validate all additions/alterations to the property. And since the site was not lawful on December 12, 2010, the site is fully subject to Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, and 4.9 of the Landscape Manual as well as all building setbacks of the C-M Zone and off street parking loading requirements of Part 11 of the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore applicant must apply for all appropriate building permits and submit site and landscape plans in accordance with Section 27-254 of the Zoning Ordinance. The landscape plans must be prepared and sealed by a landscape architect registered in the State of Maryland. 9/30/16 – This comment is still outstanding per revised plans. Though the carport and sheds are labeled to be removed, a building permit is still required for the expansion of the building per Behdad Kashanian, Associate Director of Inspections/DPIE. It appears a building permit application has been filed, 20178-2016, however there appears to be no activity on this application. All site and landscape plan review will occur at time of building permit. I emailed the updated comments to Carlos Ostria at [email protected] and Donna Fagon at [email protected].

3. NOTE: The GIS zoning maps still indicate CR-57-1993 on the subject property. However per our legal office there is no longer a requirement for the property to obtain Detailed Site Plan Approval as required by CR-57-1993 which was the prior 1993 Landover and Vicinity Sectional Map amendment. THE MARYLAND-NATIONAL CAPITAL PARK AND PLANNING COMMISSION PERMIT REVIEW SECTION 14741 Governor Oden Bowie Drive, Upper Marlboro Md. 20772

Per legal, the 2010 Subregion 4 Sectional Map Amendment “erased” the conditions set forth by the 1993 SMA.
