Zoning: Planned Business District (PBD)
Centreville Zoning: Excerpts from Town of Centreville Official Zoning Map
:
PBD Future Land Use as noted in Town of Centreville Comprehensive Plan: 2040: “Intensive
business and light industrial uses are recommended in the Centreville Business Park…. The business
park is currently zoned Planned Business Development (District) which permits a variety of
commercial land use activities.
PBD Zoning: §170-29 F.1.l “Any use permitted in the C-3 District”. C-3 allows car washes (§170-
24. A.7).
Comments
The applicant has kindly worked through TAC review comments to address several issues as
outlined in their letter. We can provide further context during the meeting if desired re the context
of those issues.
Outstanding Issues/Comments for Planning Commission consideration and discussion with
the Applicant:
Future application for Subdivision – Minor Subdivision Plat lot “Q”
The application includes a preliminary minor subdivision plat for proposed lot “Q” in response to
TAC note that Lot N was no longer available.
3

1. The Applicant has updated the Laser Drive to note it as Private Right of Way (ROW),
however it needs to be properly noted that eventually Laser Drive will become and be
built/improved to Public ROW standards. Especially re Minor subdivisions as defined in
Centreville’s Town Code (§138-5) as “…have frontage on an improved public street or
streets...”.
Concept - Sketch Site Plan
1. Same note as Item 1 above – needs to note becoming that eventually Laser Drive will
become and be built/improved to Public ROW standards.
2. The Planning Commission may wish to discuss the location of the vacuum spaces with the
applicant. TAC asked the applicant to consider additional reconfiguration of the proposed
site plan, with alternate access and potential relocation of the “vacuum” spaces (similarly to
the parking space provision requirements re C-3) to the side or rear of the lot. Additionally,
Centreville Design Guidelines Commercial Parking;” Required Standards: Commercial
parking lots shall be located behind buildings. Commercial parking lots shall only be
allowed to remain in front of or beside buildings as permitted by the Planning Commission.”
• While the applicant has kindly improved their access but notes and shared with
Town Consultants that vacuum spaces on the sides or rear of the lot “does not align
with most car wash business models or practical use of the site, …).
•
3. The Applicant has nicely addressed the required site plan furnishings to include pedestrian
bench, decorative trash receptacles and special interest plantings all shown to be included in
the front buffer yard.
a. Signage: They note that the signage and lighting are included on the plans. However,
the next submissions will need to address the requirements of Article IV §170-38
especially Attachment 9, Table 3 Centreville Design Standards regarding signs,
number 5. Signage, Page 71, as well as §170-66 (Higher Standards to Prevail).
i. Currently the only item showing the proposed monument sign on the
submitted items is its general location. As Planning Commission is aware,
monument signs are considered a type of free standing sign in the Town
Code and Design standards and applicable standards need to be
demonstrated.
b. Lighting: The application still needs to clearly demonstrate compliance §170-47,5.f.
Location of outdoor lighting facilities (lighting plan) as part of site plan, §170-49
Commercial Property Exterior Lighting and Centreville Design Standards number
4.D Commercial Lighting Page 65.
4

c.
4. Buffer yards: Buffer yards (§170-42): While the applicant kindly notes the rear buffer yard along
the rear property line is fully established with existing vegetation and is comprised of a mix of
canopy, understory, and evergreen trees along with woody shrub type vegetation and meets or
exceeds the requirement, the Planning Commission may wish to consider asking the applicant to
quantify this description to demonstrate how the existing buffer meets the requirements of Buffer
yard E (PBD and R-1).
Architectural Renderings
TAC has not yet reviewed or provided any comments on these, just informed the applicant that they
will be required. Planning Commission may wish to review the proposed Architectural renderings
with the Town of Centreville Design Guidelines. The following considerations are a minimum to
consider when discussing with the applicant.
Roofline Expression Intent- To ensure that rooflines present a distinct profile and appearance for
the building and express the neighborhood character.
Required Standards • Commercial buildings shall be designed to promote a pedestrian scale. To
attain the continuation of a pedestrian scale, the use of sloping elements shall be required. Any
alternative roofline not utilizing sloping elements must be approved by the Planning Commission.
Additional Comments
Please note these items that the applicant acknowledges that future PC submittals will address these
additional TAC Comments:
• Connect to existing 8” sanitary sewer via a new lateral from Laser; manage curb cuts
carefully.
• Centreville DPW (Kip Matthews) to provide standards for storm drain and wastewater
calculations.
• Verify use of existing storm drain via hydraulic analysis and determine easement
Requirements.
• Install a 1,000-gallon oil sand interceptor.
• Centreville DPW suggests installing a water recycling system because of the 2 self-serve
bays.
• QAC DPW Stormwater Review – Applicant notes additional analysis and calculation will
be completed prior to site plan development and submittal to Town of Centreville.
General Process Comments:
• All criteria of §138-5 and §170-47 to be met for additional submittals to PC.
5

• All comments should be addressed by the applicant prior to submission of Preliminary Site
Plan review.

A proposal to annex the Providence Farm property, referred to as “Providence at Centreville,” was
formalized through Resolution 14-2024, which received a favorable recommendation from the Planning
Commission. In conjunction, the property was recommended to be rezoned through Ordinance 05-
2024 (effective upon effective on the date the County Commissioner for Queen Anne’s County
expressly approve the zoning classification of Traditional Neighborhood Development District (TND) for
the Annexed Property, or 5 years after the effective date of the Resolution 14-2024, whichever occurs
first;), and its future land use designation was recommended to be updated to “Complete
Neighborhood.”
Figure 1: Future Land Use Plan
Ordinance 06-2024 revised the Traditional Neighborhood District (TND) zoning to permit the Planning
Commission to consider front-loaded garages under specific conditions and to allow TND zoning for
Complete Neighborhood Future Land Use. The Planning Commission also began extensive discussions
to update the TND and Planned Unit Development (PUD) approaches, including exploration of form-
based codes, regulating plans, and updating design standards to better reflect the vision of Complete
Neighborhoods outlined in the Comprehensive Plan.

June 6, 2025

Figure 2: Providence Farm
Several Future Land Use map amendments were recommended to better align zoning designations with
existing and future land use. Notably, parcels at 401 and 409 Kidwell Avenue were changed from
Commercial to Residential. Parcels on Map 44C were incorporated into the Central Business District,
and the rear portion of Parcel 1056 and Parcel 1085 at 425 S Commerce Street were redesignated from
Resource Conservation Open Space to Commercial. These changes support cohesive planning and
efficient development patterns within Centreville’s growth areas.
Numerous development projects progressed during the year, including mixed-use site plans at 216 N.
Commerce Street and 425 S. Commerce Street, including ground-floor commercial space and upper-
story apartments. Additional site approvals included commercial expansions in the Centreville
Business Park and the YMCA’s outdoor pool and support building.
While no new schools or school-related zoning changes occurred, the Planning Commission and Town
Council strongly focused on infrastructure and service alignment to support anticipated growth.
Stormwater management, critical area compliance, and sidewalk connectivity remained key
considerations throughout the site plan approval process.

Please describe any other planning improvements identified or implemented in 2024.
A significant focus was placed on revising and modernizing zoning tools to align with the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan. This included updates to the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) zoning and creating of a
Complete Neighborhood Planned Unit Development (PUD) framework designed to encourage diverse housing
types, walkability, and integration of open spaces. The Planning Commission pursued a comprehensive
rezoning initiative to address inconsistencies in land use designations, clean up split-zoned properties, and
support future growth areas, particularly around the Providence Farm annexation site.
The Planning Commission also worked on improving procedural clarity and transparency. Site plan review
standards were updated to define processes and terminology better, and a moratorium on certain
development types was adopted to give planners time to implement new zoning strategies. The Town also
discussed the need for a full-time zoning administrator, to best assist the Town Manager with zoning
administration duties.
Several initiatives focused on small-scale housing and livability enhancements. These included discussions
and planning around tiny homes and pocket neighborhoods as innovative solutions for aging residents and
those needing affordable living options. Form-based code elements and transect-based planning were
introduced to ensure new developments respect the existing character of neighborhoods while encouraging
mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly environments.

2024 CENTREVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTIVITIES
In 2024, the Centreville Planning Commission maintained an active role in shaping the town's development,
focusing heavily on zoning modernization and sustainable growth. The Commission advanced both future land use
map and zoning map amendments and pursued procedural improvements, including updated bylaws and clearer site
plan standards. It dedicated significant effort to refining the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) and
developing the Complete Neighborhood Planned Unit Development framework, often using design exercises and
comparisons with regional models like Gibson’s Grant to visualize future developments. Public engagement and inter-
agency coordination were consistent themes, particularly in discussions surrounding stormwater compliance, critical
area impacts, and open space integration. The Commission also promoted housing diversity and affordability through
initiatives exploring tiny homes and pocket neighborhoods, highlighting their potential for senior and low-income
housing.

170-29.1 Traditional Neighborhood Development District - TND
The TND District is intended to allow development consistent with design principles of a traditional neighborhood.
A traditional neighborhood is compact; is designed for the human and pedestrian scale; provides a mix of residential
uses including civic, small scale retail and open space uses in close proximity to one another in the neighborhood;
is architecturally integrated; provides a mix of housing styles, types and sizes to accommodate a variety of
households; is integrated into the surrounding communities; incorporates interconnected streets with sidewalks and
bikeways and transit that offer multiple routes for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists and provide for the
connections of those streets to existing and future developments and incorporates significant environmental features
into the design. TND District Zoning is for areas designated in the Town Comprehensive Plan as residential Future
Land Use to be developed as TND and/or Master Planned Complete Neighborhood Development. A diversity of Commented [KW1]: This sentence was added to the

minimum acreage may be developed as TND if they are contiguous to an existing TND zoned area
and development on said parcels or tracts can be harmoniously integrated into the existing TND
consistent with the requirements and purposes of this zone.
2. The TND development shall have access to an existing or planned arterial or collector road;, and
be organized around a network of interconnected public streets in a grid pattern that
establishes and forms a street hierarchy limited to arterial, collector, local/secondary streets,
and alleys. The street network/hierarchy must be delineated by a Regulating Plan.
3. TND developments have physical form (buildings styles and sizes, and lot sizes) as well as
required open spaces that vary in character and intensity so as to best integrate and
interconnect with the surrounding neighborhood and community character.
