THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANC 7C

On May 8, 2017, the Office of Zoning received an application from The Warrenton Group (“Applicant”) for approval of a consolidated planned unit development (“PUD”) and a Zoning Map amendment from the MU-3 zone to the MU-5-A zone for the above-referenced property. The Office of Planning submitted its report to the Office of Zoning on June 16, 2017, and the application was set down for a public hearing by the Zoning Commission on June 26, 2017. The Applicant filed its prehearing statement with the Commission on August 1, 2017.

The subject property consists of approximately 17,029 square of land area, including a portion of the adjacent public alley to be closed (“Property”). The Property is located west of the intersection of Nannie Helen Burroughs and Division Avenues, N.E. The historic Strand Theater is immediately east of the Property.

The Applicant proposes to redevelop the Property with approximately 86 residential units, comprised of 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units, all of which will be reserved for households with incomes not exceeding 60% of the median family income (“MFI”) and ground floor retail and community space. Of the 86 units, 28 will be replacement units for the Lincoln Heights and Richardson Dwellings communities controlled by DCHA, in accordance with the New Communities Initiative Plan. The height of the proposed new building will be approximately 68 feet; the maximum density will be approximately 4.59 floor area ratio (“FAR”); and the maximum non-residential density will be approximately 0.2 FAR. In addition, the PUD includes a ground level parking garage with 17 spaces.

This public hearing will be conducted in accordance with the contested case provisions of the Zoning Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, 11 DCMR Subtitle Z, Chapter 4.
