Master Sector Plans from Tech Report
August 2013 Purple Line – Social Effects and Land Use Planning Technical Report 3.2 Affected Environment 3.2.1 Land Use, Zoning, and Planned Development The Purple Line study area comprises a variety of urban and suburban land uses, including residential, commercial, recreational, institutional, and industrial (see Figure 18). Land use in the Montgomery County portion of the corridor is largely residential, with commercial development in Bethesda and Silver Spring. In the Prince George’s County portion of the corridor, land uses include relatively large areas of recreational, institutional, and commercial uses scattered among primarily residential communities. Housing types and densities within the study area include single-family dwellings and both low-rise and high-rise apartment buildings. Clusters of higher density mixed-use development characterize the five major activity centers of Bethesda, Silver Spring, Takoma/Langley Park, College Park, and New Carrollton. With the exception of the area surrounding the University of Maryland (UMD) campus and M Square, most of the remainder of developed land in the study area contains low to medium-density residential and commercial uses. Current zoning concentrates urban growth around activity centers to support transit oriented development (TOD). Specialized TOD zoning districts where mixed-use development is permitted are located in downtown Bethesda and in the areas around the following proposed Purple Line stations, East Campus, College Park, Annapolis Road/Glenridge, and New Carrollton (see Figure 19). The mixed-use and commercial development zoning at other proposed Purple Line station locations also would be compatible with transit stations. Zoning is directed by land use planning efforts, including the Master Plans and Sector Plans discussed in the following section.
