COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (CDC) REPORT

  • The Commission voted unanimously (6-0) to support the following Applicant requests considered at the CDC’s October 29 meeting: 1) BZA zoning relief and design plan support for 1017 12th St, NW; 2) HPRB concept and massing for 925 M St, NW, and; 3) HPRB concept, massing, and design support for 1222 11th St, NW. The vote also included opposition to 1320 14th St, NW’s (The Pig) DDOT public space application for a sidewalk café, as neither the Applicant nor their representative was present at the CDC meeting to present the project or answer related questions. The denial was procedural and did not consider the merits of the application. The Applicant was present and indicated he would make a formal request at the December CDC meeting.
  • After extensive discussion, the Commission voted in favor (4-3) of the requested BZA parking special exception for 90 Blagden Alley, NW and parking variance for 91 Blagden Alley, NW. Several Commissioners and community members expressed their opposition to 100% parking variance for the fully furnished 123-unit residential project, also noting the negative precedent being set. In a prepared statement read aloud, Commissioner Walt Cain, (who was not present at the meeting) wrote that “the very nature of [this particular] development makes it unique among projects requesting this extent of parking relief. I believe the Applicant has show the project will have only a minimal impact on the community’s parking stock, and that they are putting in place significant remedial efforts to address the concerns identified by the community and CDC. Relatedly, the Applicant has approached this process cooperatively and in good faith, serving as a partner with the community and ANC in resolving concerns.”
  • The CDC report also included a summary of the presentation given by the Applicant behind 1428 9th St, NW (initial HPRB design presentation), and a request made by Commissioners Cain and Melcher to the community at large (and especially neighbors in the vicinity of the proposed Marriott hotel project at 9th & L, NW) to communicate to ANC 2F a list of desired improvements for inclusion in the Community Benefits Agreement that will be part of the planned unit development (PUD).
  • The December CDC meeting will not be held on the usual fourth Wednesday of the month. Instead, the meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, 7pm at the Washington Plaza Hotel. Subscribers to ANC 2F’s email list will receive additional reminders about the date change.
