Council waives review for Marlboro Pike nursing-home expansion; Planning Board had approved with conditions
Summary
The council voted to waive its review on a detailed site plan (DET-2023-005.0) for a 33,000-square-foot addition to a Marlboro Pike nursing facility that would increase beds from 162 to 199; the Planning Board and staff had approved the plan with conditions and the applicant requested an alternative compliance from the county landscape manual.
Prince George's County Council on April 28, 2025 voted to waive its council-level review of detailed site plan DET-2023-005.0, a proposal by Marlboro Leasing Co. LLC to add 33,000 square feet to an existing nursing facility at the northwest intersection of Marlboro Pike and Ritchie Road in Council District 6.
Planning materials presented at the hearing said the project would add 33,000 square feet to an existing 45,034-square-foot nursing home, increasing the facility's gross floor area to 78,034 square feet and expanding licensed beds from 162 to 199. The applicant filed an alternative compliance request (ACL-2025001) from section 4.7 (buffering incompatible uses) of the 2018 Prince George's County Landscape Manual. Planning staff and the Planning Board had approved the detailed site plan with conditions.
Council Member DeBlaguet moved to waive the council's review and Council Member Hawkins seconded. The clerk conducted a roll call and the motion carried unanimously on the recorded vote. The planning record lists an appeal-by date of May 19, 2025 for this application.
The waiver allows the Planning Board decision and the applicant's next administrative steps to proceed without a separate council-level report-and-review period. The meeting record did not include a council decision on the merits of the site plan itself; the Planning Board approval and conditions remain part of the public record.
