Created in 1927, the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission has jurisdiction
over parks and planning in Montgomery and Prince
George's counties (Chapter 448, Acts of 1927).
This authority covers all of the two counties except
for certain incorporated municipalities.
The Commission is composed often members.
Five are residents of Montgomery County, and five
are from Prince George's. The five members from
each county make up the county's planning board.
Within the Maryland-Washington Metropolitan
District, the Commission is empowered to acquire,
develop, maintain, and operate parks systems, the
expense of which, including debt service, is paid
from a separate park tax levied within the District.
In Prince George's County only, the Commission
operates the public recreation program, funded by
a separate county-wide recreation tax.
Taking into account all factors of urban, subur-
ban, rural, and regional planning, the Commission
is empowered to make, adopt, and amend a General
Plan for the physical development of the Maryland-
Washington Regional District. The Planning
Boards make zoning recommendations to their re-
spective County Councils, sitting as District Coun-
cils, for the portion of the District within their
county to enact the zoning ordinances and change
the zoning map. The Planning Boards have exclu-
sive responsibility for subdivision approval, location
and grades of streets, location of public buildings
and utilities, and street naming and house number-
ing. Administration and planning expenses of the
Commission are paid from an administrative tax
levied within the District.
Commission members serve four-year terms. In
Montgomery County three members are appointed
by the County Council and confirmed by the
County Executive, and two members are appointed
by the County Executive and confirmed by the
County Council. In Prince George's County, the
County Executive appoints all five members subject
to County Council confirmation. No more than
three members from each county's planning board
may be members of the same political parry. The
appointing authority designates the chairperson of
the Planning Board. Chairing of the Commission
alternates on a calendar year basis between the two
planning board chairpersons. The alternate be-
comes vice-chairperson.
The Commission appoints the executive direc-
tor, general counsel, and secretary-treasurer. The
parks director, planning director, and community
1 relations manager for each county are appointed by
