Introduction to Area
This Community-Based Planning area is generally bounded by Northwest Branch and the Capital Beltway (I-495) on the north, and Rock Creek Park to the west. Prince George's County is the eastern boundary and the District of Columbia is located to the south. This area includes the following communities:

The Community-Based Planning Team has recently revised the master plans for all of these areas. This major master plan effort utilizes the revised and streamlined preparation process adopted by the Planning Board and County Council.

The Silver Spring Central Business District is the focus of a major revitalization symbolized by the County's investment in a large Urban Renewal Project in the Core. As a result, the Community-Based Planning Team will be involved in numerous regulatory reviews of redevelopment projects. The success of the overall revitalization will have major implications on the economic stability and residential quality of life in the entire community-based planning area and beyond.

This Community-Based Planning area also contains the City of Takoma Park which was recently unified in Montgomery County. The development of a new master plan for the City of Takoma Park is the first by the County to plan comprehensively for the unified City. As such, it involved cooperative, closely coordinated effort with the municipal government and the citizens of Takoma Park.
