The proposed 709 sq ft addition
will represent less than one percent 1

there is

proposed change in
the
building will be relocated closer to the side southern elevation of the Ambulatory Services
Pavilion which is already paved
Additionally Section 27 295 e
5 of the Zoning Ordinance states When a minor change is
approved by the Planning Board or its authorized representative any requirements or conditions
deemed necessary to protect adjacent properties and the general neighborhood may be added
The proposed modifications to the site plan are all internal to the site and are changes to an
existing building more than 300 feet from the closest single family residential properties
separated by existing trees parking areas and a stormwater management facility Consequently
the proposed site changes will not impact any existing residential properties
Finally Section 27295 e
2 allows the Planning Board to determine whether to hold a public
hearing or to designate its authorized representative to grant approval of the minor change
application without a hearing The applicant request
s that no public hearing be required due to
the minor nature of the changes and the fact that they will not be visible to any adjacent
landowners Staff concurs with this request for the reason stated
The County
s proposed Capital Improvement Program for FY 2014 includes the CT project as
well as the systemic repairs proposed The State provided a grant for this project under Capital
Budget Bill SB86 Project cost is 250
000
II
Findings
Based on the review and analysis of the proposed modifications to the Bowie Health Campus site
plan staff makes the following findings
The proposed revisions to the site plan are considered to be minor in nature and
fall with the parameters of Section 27295 e of the Prince George
s County
Zoning Ordinance
The proposed site changes will not impact any existing residential properties
The CT project and systemic repairs proposed have been included in the FY 2014
s Capital Improvement Program and
County
Section 27295 e of the County Zoning Ordinance allows the Planning Board to
determine whether or not to hold a public hearing on this matter
I1I
Recommendation
Since the request complies with the above findings staff recommends APPROVAL of the
applicant request for constructing a 709 sq ft addition onto the rear of the onestory building
s
housing the Emergency Department to accommodate a CT scanner relocating the ambulance

Statutory Authority
Section 27292 c of the Prince George
s County Zoning Ordinance sets forth the
procedures for the approval ofall buildings and uses serving public health
purposes on land owned by Prince George
s County Maryland upon which
hospitals or health centers are located The Bowie Health Campus has received
numerous approvals in the past to allow for the construction of the existing
emergency department building nursing home assisted living facility and
medical office building
Section 27295 e ofthe Prince George
s County Zoning Ordinance allows the
Planning Board or its authorized representative to grant minor changes to the site
plan approved by the District Council
The proposed changes to the District Council approved site plan are included
under Section 27295 i
IXA which states
e
There is proposed increase in gross floor area of a building or in land area
covered by a structure other than a building over that approved on the
original site plan which is not greater than 15 of the gross floor area or
covered land area
as well as Section 27295 exl
Bi
which states
There is a proposed change in the design of a parking lot or loading
Section 27295 ex2 provides that the Planning Board shall determine whether to
hold a public hearing or to designate its authorized representative to grant
approval of the minor change application without a hearing We request that no
public hearing be required due to the minor nature of the changes and the fact that
they will not be visible to any adjacent landowners
Section 27295 ex 2 further provides that if the Planning Board designates its
authorized representative to grant approval without a hearing the authorized
representative shall send a copy of the application at the time of its acceptance
and the final decision on the application to any municipality within a half mile of
the property The Bowie Health Campus is located in the City of Bowie We
have met with the City of Bowie concerning this minor site plan proposal
The proposed revised site plan complies with all applicable requirements of
subtitle 27 and with any conditions relating to the use imposed by the District
Council or Planning Board in the approval ofthe building or use as required by
Section 27295 e
4 The site plan Sled with this request reflects the proposals
Compliance with Subtitle 27
Section 27295 e
5 provides that when a minor change is approved by the
Planning Board or its authorized representative any requirements or conditions
deemed necessary to protect adjacent properties and the general neighborhood
may be added We contend that no requirements or conditions are necessary to
protect adjacent properties and the general neighborhood as there will be no
impact to adjacent properties and the general neighborhood as a result of the
proposed minor changes to the District Council approved site plan for the
emergency department due to their limited nature and their lack of
visibility to adjacent properties
The inclusion of a CT scanner at the emergency department is a benefit to the
health safety and welfare of the general neighborhood as well as the residents
of Prince George
s County and the City of Bowie
4
Conclusion
Therefore we respectfully request that the minor site plan changes to the Bowie
Health Campos by approved by the designee of the Planning Board without a
public hearing and without any requirements or conditions

Dear Dr Piret
At its meeting on April 15 2013 the Bowie City Council reviewed a proposal minor changes to
the site plan for the Bowie Health Campus approved by the District Council for the purpose of

Department to accommodate a CT scanner Other modifications include relocating the ambulance drop
off from the front of this building to the rear adjacent to the proposed addition relocating three 3
existing parking spaces and realigning the existing front entrance to the Emergency Department

provided
Section 27292 c of the Prince George
s County Zoning Ordinance sets forth the procedures for
the approval of all buildings and uses serving public health purposes on land owned by the County upon
which hospitals or health centers are located
Since the proposed modifications to the current site plan for the Bowie Health Campus are
considered to be minor in nature and since these minor changes to the site plan fall within the parameters

WMATA Service Evaluation Study B Service Routes
DATE
April 11 2013
Manager
Officials from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority WMATA will brief City
Council on their Service Evaluation Study for the B Service Routes which provide transit service in the
portion of the City north of Bowie Town Center Public outreach meetings were held on March 21 2013
at the Bowie Senior Center and on March 27 2013 at Bowie State University The meeting held at the
Senior Center was one of the most wellattended meetings WMATA planners have held recently A
synopsis of comments received is provided below
Y
Y
We had 28 people sign in but we probably had approximately 32 33 people attend This is one of the
highest attendances that we had for a very long time
Most attendees seemed to favor the following recommendations
Increased service hours
Y
Y
Increased service frequency
Coordinated trips between routes i
e bus arriving
leaving from Bowie Park and Ride every 15
minutes
New bus stops along existing routes at new commercial and residential developments
Providing service to Bowie State MARC Station on the B21
22 and B27
People would also like the schedules to be coordinated
We received very little feedback on the potential restructuring of the B27 we anticipate feedback on that
recommendation at Wednesday
s meeting
Between the two B24 weekend service options presented most people favored the Bowie Town Center
alignment
Although attendees did mention the existing C29 service to Bowie State is too infrequent
too long
of a route
Y
Most attendees favored the hub
spoke service realignment from Bowie Park
Ride
Most of the attendees were riders who travel tofrom New Carrollton to Bowie Park
Ride and
favored a more frequent service between the two locations
Some Crofton attendees favored the recommendation if it created more frequent and reliable
service
Some attendees did not favor this option since it would create a twoseat ride to New Carrollton
Additional comments from attendees

Buses from Bowie Park

Attendees mentioned recent auto breakins at the Bowie Park

MEMORANDUM
TO:
City Council
FROM:
David J. Deutsch
City Manager
SUBJECT:
November 2013 Referendum/Candidacy Filing Deadline
DATE:
April 9, 2013
Council decided at the March 18, 2013 Meeting to place a question on the
November 5, 2013 ballot regarding the length of Council terms. The proposed language
for the advisory question is as follows:
“Do you support four-year terms
for the Mayor and City Council?”
 Yes
 No
If a majority votes “Yes”, the Council elected in 2015 would be the first to serve a fouryear term.
Also, at the March 18th Meeting, there was discussion of extending the deadline to
file for candidacy to 60 days prior to the election. The current deadline is 30 days prior
to the election.
The City Clerk surveyed area municipalities and found that the 30-day deadline is
the most common. Greenbelt and Hyattsville each have a 40-day cutoff. At the other end
of the spectrum, some smaller communities have 20 or 25-day deadlines.
The State has a 90-day cutoff, but this is understandable given the task of
preparing for Statewide elections, and having to coordinate with 24 local jurisdictions’
Boards of Elections.
If the Council does extend the deadline, the City Charter and Code will need to be
amended. These actions would need to occur soon given that the election is less than
seven months away.
