------------------------------------------------------------------------
The National Capital Planning Commission is the central agency for
conducting planningand developmentactivities for Federal landsand
facilities in the National Capital region. The region includes the
District of Columbia and all land areas within the boundaries of
Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland and Fairfax, Loudoun,
Prince William, and Arlington Counties in Virginia.
The National Capital Planning Commission was established as a park
planning agency by act of June 6, 1924, as amended (40 U.S.C. 71 et
seq.). Two years later its role was expanded to include comprehensive
planning. In 1952, under the National Capital Planning Act, the
Commission was designated the central planning agency for the Federal
and District of Columbia governments.
In 1973, the National Capital Planning Act was amended by the
District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which made the Mayor of the District
of Columbia the chief planner for the District; however, the Commission
continues to serve as the central planning agency for the Federal
Government in the National Capital region.
The Commission is composed of five appointed and seven ex officio
members. Three citizen members, including the Chairman, are appointed by
the President and two by the mayor of the District of Columbia.
Presidential appointees include one resident each from Maryland and
Virginia and one from anywhere in the United States; however, the two
mayoral appointees must be District of Columbia residents.
