Cafritz, Church, Sign Change Requests on Tap for Tonight's Hyattsville Council Meeting

This is the last scheduled Hyattsville City Council meeting of 2011.

There are a number of housekeeping items on tonight’s city council work session agenda, including the proposed Cafritz development, work at West Hyattsville Baptist Church and an answer to Mount Rainier’s request to be added to a Metro station sign.

Hyattsville does not support Cafritz developer’s request to amend the Riverdale Park M-U-T-C, instead recommending the plan go forth according to M-U-I standards, which would permit input from parties of record, including communities surrounding the development.

At the Dec. 5 council meeting, representatives of Mount Rainier petitioned the council for addition of their city’s name to the West Hyattsville Metro station sign. The name would be added in smaller lettering below the current destination.

The Hyattsville City Council is opposed to this change, suggesting talk of this change would be better suited when WMATA undergoes its comprehensive station renaming process upon opening the silver line.

West Hyattsville Baptist Church is looking to make some changes to its location on Nicholson Street, partially to become more ADA compliant. These pending changes prompted the church to desire on-street parking during church service times.

The city currently does not permit on-street parking in that area. The city council does not support this request, but is supportive of the other changes the church is petitioning M-NCPPC for.

The city council meets at 8 p.m. at city hall.
