Section 11-1601. BONUS DENSITY AND HEIGHT (CG)

 

1601.1CG Overlay developments subject to the set-aside requirements of Chapter 26 Inclusionary Zoning may use the FAR, Height and Lot Occupancy in the following table as the basis of calculating the set-aside requirements of § 2603:

 

		IZ Bonus
Base Zone	FAR	Lot Occupancy	Maximum Height
Capitol Gateway
C-2-C	7.2	80%	110
C-3-C	7.8	100%	90
CR	7.2	80%	100
W-1	3.0	80%	50
W-2	4.8	75%	80
W-3	7.2	75%	100

 

Bonus density achieved via §§ 1601.2 or 1601.4 does not add to the set-aside requirements of § 2603.

 

1601.2In the CG/CR and CG/W-3 Districts, a building or combined lot development shall be allowed a maximum density of 8.2 FAR; provided that the additional 1.0 FAR in excess of § 1601.1 FAR shall be devoted solely to residential uses, which, for the purposes of this subsection, does not include hotel uses.

 

1601.3For the purpose of accommodating bonus density as authorized by § 1601.1, the maximum permitted building height shall be that permitted by the Act to Regulate the Height of Buildings in the District of Columbia, approved June 1, 1910 (36 Stat. 452; D.C. Official Code §§ 6-601.01 to 6-601.09), as amended; provided that in Squares 601, 656, and 657 those lots abutting or separated only by a street or alley from residentially zoned property shall provide a one-to-one (1:1) building setback for any part of a building that exceeds ninety (90) feet in height on the side abutting the residential zone.

 

1601.4In the CG/W-1 District, a building or combined lot development shall be allowed a maximum density of 4.0 FAR and a maximum height of fifty- five (55) feet to accommodate the additional density. The additional 1.0 FAR in excess of §1601.1 shall be devoted solely to residential uses unless the building or the combined lot development includes at least 2.0 FAR of residential uses, in which case the additional 1.0 FAR may be devoted to any permitted use in the W-1 zone. For the purposes of this subsection, the term "residential uses" does not include hotel uses.

 

1601.5In the CG/W-2 District, the Zoning Commission may grant additional density to lots as part of the review and approval process applicable to that area, in the manner set forth in §§ 1603.5 and 1603.6.

 

1601.6A building that qualifies as a Capitol South Receiving Zone site under § 1709.18 shall be subject to the maximum height and bulk limits of § 1709.21 of this title.

 

1601.7The provisions of § 411 shall apply to penthouses in the CG Overlay.
