Prince George's County posts full Feb. 12 Planning Board meeting on YouTube

A full recording of the Prince George’s County Planning Board meeting held Feb. 12, 2026 is posted to YouTube, and the video shows planners and board members discussing land-use and park matters affecting the county. The posting gives residents a chance to review deliberations on zoning, park planning, and staff recommendations without attending in person.

Official Prince George’s County and M-NCPPC materials confirm that Planning Board meetings are routinely livestreamed and archived, and that meetings may be viewed in person at the M-NCPPC Largo Headquarters and via live-streaming video. The Planning Board web pages also offer tools for public engagement, including View Planning Board Agenda, View Planning Board Meetings, Sign Up to Speak, and Become a Person of Record. Those features are the mechanism for residents to register comments and to ensure their testimony becomes part of the public record.

The Feb. 12 video, as posted, covers the public meeting where planners and commissioners discussed county land-use and parks topics. The county’s event calendar shows a cadence of commission meetings and related items that frame Planning Board work, including a Commission Meeting scheduled for Feb. 18, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and the Presidents’ Day administrative closure on Feb. 16, 2026. Archival records on the Granicus system demonstrate that agendas and staff reports for past meetings are routinely archived; examples from 2025 include January 23 and January 30 agendas and meetings on March 6, March 13, June 12, and June 18. Those archives serve as a running docket for development cases and park proposals that often resurface at subsequent hearings.

Darryl Barnes serves as Chairman of the Prince George’s County Planning Board, having been appointed in July 2025. Manuel R. Geraldo is Vice Chair and Dr. Billy Okoye, GRI, serves as a Commissioner. The continuity of leadership matters for how applications and park initiatives move through staff review and final decisions.

For residents following specific projects, the posted meeting recording is a practical resource: it allows viewers to see staff presentations, board questions, and public comments. If you want to weigh in on future hearings, use the Planning Board’s Sign Up to Speak and Become a Person of Record options to register testimony. The county also publishes weather alerts and operational notices that can affect meeting times and office hours; recent announcements included warming center information and adjusted office openings during a January snow emergency.

What comes next for viewers is straightforward: watch the Feb. 12 recording to identify items of interest, then check the Planning Board meetings page and archived agendas to track follow-ups. For neighborhoods and park users across Prince George’s County, the recording is a chance to translate Planning Board discussion into local action and to make sure voices are on the record as cases move forward.
