THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANC 6D
This case concerns a proposed new planned unit development (“PUD”) and related Zoning Map amendment for a new multi-family residential building, church, and community center located at 222 M Street, S.W. (Square 546, Lot 301) (the “Subject Property”). The Subject Property is currently zoned R-3, and the proposed PUD-related Zoning Map amendment is to the CR Zone District.
On June 13, 2011, the Zoning Commission received the application of TC/CSG St. Matthews, LLC (“Applicant”) for the consolidated approval of a PUD and related Zoning Map amendment.
On December 2, 2011, the Office of Planning provided its report recommending that the consolidated PUD and related Zoning Map amendment case be set down for a public hearing, which the Commission did at its public meeting held December 12, 2011.
The Subject Property is unimproved and contains approximately 50,000 square feet of land area located at the southwest corner of M Street and Delaware Avenue, S.W. The proposed project will contain approximately 210 apartments and approximately 151 below-grade parking spaces. The proposed project will have a floor area ratio of approximately 4.17. The proposed building will have a measured building height of approximately 110 feet along M Street and approximately 80 feet at the rear.
This public hearing will be conducted in accordance with the contested case provisions of the Zoning Regulations, 11 DCMR § 3022.
