The Prince George’s County District Council voted unanimously on March 18, 2025, to refer DSP19031‑O2, a remand for a Popeye’s project filed by 3 Roads Corner LLC, to county staff for preparation of a document of approval.

The site is described in the record as located on the west side of Maryland 631 (Old Brandywine Road) in the southeast quadrant of its intersection with Maryland 381 (Brandywine Road) and Maryland 373 (Ekekeek Road). The transcript describes the overall site as 4.427 acres in the CSCGO zones (prior CMCSC zones). The applicant requested approval to develop Parcels 1 and 4 with a 3,484‑square‑foot food and beverage store, a gas station and a car wash; the transcript also records a separate amendment to add Parcels 2 and 3 and to amend the DSP for development of a 2,923‑square‑foot building to serve as an eating and drinking establishment with drive‑thru service on Parcel 3. The transcript lists a car wash but does not clearly specify its size.

Why it matters: the referral advances a detailed site plan that would add a drive‑thru eating and drinking establishment and other commercial uses at a County intersection in Council District 9, after prior review by planning staff and the Planning Board.

Background and timeline recorded in the meeting: the transcript shows the Planning Board approved the case with conditions on Dec. 5, 2024; the appeal‑by date was Jan. 9, 2025; the review‑by date was Jan. 30, 2025; and the action‑by date listed in the file is March 28, 2025. The district council held a hearing on March 10 and took the case under advisement before acting on March 18.

Council action and votes: Council Member Harrison moved to refer the item to staff for preparation of a document of approval; Council Member Watson seconded. The clerk called the roll and the motion carried 9–0. The roll-call responses recorded in the transcript identify the following members as voting in favor: Chair Ivy; Vice Chair Burrows; Mr. DeNogan; Ms. Fisher; Mr. Harrison; Mr. Olson; Ms. Orietta; Ms. Watson; and Ms. Blige.

No additional conditions or amendments were stated on the record at the March 18 session. The transcript records the council’s action as a referral for preparation of a document of approval rather than final adoption on the floor; any final ordinance or approval language is to be prepared by staff and returned for final processing.
