It also amends the 2002 Prince George's County Approved General Plan and other functional master plans. This plan was developed with citizen input during numerous community planning workshops in 2007 & 2008. Planning policies in the General Plan are refined as land use concepts for the Brandywine Center and for the Rural Tier. Consistent with policies in the General Plan, future development is primarily directed toward areas with existing or planned infrastructure and away from areas that are designated to retain rural character. Specific commercial areas in Clinton and Brandywine are designated as future mixed-use, transit- and pedestrian-oriented growth centers suitable for a wide array of public, commercial, employment, and residential land uses. The land use concept for the Brandywine center refines the boundaries of this center and encourages development centered on two future transit hubs.

In the Rural Tier, the future development pattern is planned to minimize impacts to the environment and infrastructure. The plan addresses the subregion's environmental infrastructure, transportation, schools, fire, police, library, parks, recreation, economic development, historic preservation, and scenic roads.
