The Prince George’s County Council’s Planning, Housing and Economic Development Committee is scheduled to consider CB-019-2026 at its meeting on Sept. 17, 2026, according to the published Legistar agenda. The bill would repeal the exemption from detailed site plan review currently granted to qualified data centers in the county.
The measure matters to residents because detailed site plan review is a county process that examines specifics of proposed development projects. According to the agenda, CB-019-2026 is described as “AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING USE REGULATIONS – QUALIFIED DATA CENTERS for the purpose of repealing the exemption from detailed site plan review for qualified data centers.” Removing this exemption would change how such projects are reviewed by the county, per the draft ordinance language included in the agenda.
