Summary

The council unanimously waived its review of ESP20003-04, a detailed site plan for a 10,237-square-foot multi-tenant retail building on Robert Queen Highway in Bowie; Planning Board and staff had approved the plan with conditions.

Prince George's County Council on April 28, 2025 voted to waive its council-level review of detailed site plan ESP20003-04 (Mill Branch Crossing), a proposal by Green Branch LLC to build a 10,237-square-foot multi-tenant retail building on a 1.36-acre parcel on the east side of Robert Queen Highway about 550 feet north of Mill Branch Road in the municipality of Bowie (Council District 4).

Staff materials show Park and Planning technical staff approved the plan with conditions on March 6, 2025, and the Planning Board approved it on April 10, 2025 with conditions. Council Member Watson moved to waive the council's review and Council Member Hawkins seconded. The clerk called the roll and the motion carried on the recorded vote.

The waiver permits the Planning Board's action and the applicant's next administrative steps to proceed without a separate council-level report-and-review period. The council record did not include a separate substantive council decision on the merits; the Planning Board's conditions remain in the planning record. The application lists an appeal-by date of May 19, 2025.
