The Prince George District Council meeting held on April 28, 2025, focused on several key developments, including zoning approvals and site plan requests. The council reviewed a detailed site plan for a significant expansion of a nursing home facility and a new commercial retail building.

One of the primary discussions centered on Marlboro Leasing Co. LLC's proposal to add a 33,000 square foot addition to an existing nursing home located at the intersection of Marlboro Pike and Ritchie Road. This expansion will increase the facility's capacity from 162 to 199 beds, bringing the total gross floor area to 78,034 square feet. The council noted that there would be no change in the property's use. The proposal includes an alternative compliance request related to landscaping requirements, with a review date set for May 19, 2025.

Additionally, the council considered a site plan for a new multi-tenant commercial retail building at Mill Branch Crossing, proposed by Green Branch LLC. This project, located on Robert Queen Highway, aims to develop a 10,237 square foot building on a 1.36-acre site. Similar to the nursing home expansion, this proposal also has a review date of May 19, 2025.

Both projects received preliminary approvals from the planning board and technical staff prior to the council meeting. The council members voted unanimously to waive the council's election review for both proposals, indicating strong support for the developments.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting a productive session focused on advancing local development initiatives. The council's actions are expected to enhance community services and commercial opportunities in the area.
