A developer looking to build a large, mixed-use project across the highway from National Harbor is facing some headwinds.
Petra Development is seeking to rezone a 20-acre site near the interchange of the Beltway and MD-210 in Forest Heights to allow for mixed-use development, but the Prince George’s County planning staff recommended disapproval of its application, the Washington Business Journal first reported.
The developer will have its case heard before the county’s Zoning Hearing Examiner next month, and Petra Development Director of Development Eli Borek tells Bisnow he is confident the rezoning application will prevail because it is in line with the county’s development goals.
“We’re attempting to create a project that will be an ideal manifestation of [the county’s] goals,” Borek said. “We truly see this as a transformative development, but a transformative development based on those stated goals.”
