The Prince George’s County Council is scheduled to consider introduction of CB-019-2026 at its Sept. 22, 2026 meeting, according to the published Legistar agenda. The bill would repeal the exemption from detailed site plan review currently afforded to “qualified data centers.”
According to the agenda, the measure is listed under “Reading of Bills – (Introduction) (Continued)” and is titled “An Ordinance Concerning Use Regulations – Qualified Data Centers.” The agenda identifies the bill’s sponsors as council members Oriadha, Blegay and Dernoga.
The proposal matters to residents because it addresses how data center projects are reviewed by the county. Detailed site plan review is a step in the local land-use process; the current exemption for qualified data centers removes that step for eligible projects, and CB-019-2026 would end that exemption, according to the agenda text.
