The Applicant is requesting approval of a consolidated planned unit development and related map amendment for Lots 102, 103, 104, 105, 879, 910, and a portion of a public alley to be closed, all of which are in Square 2892 (the "Subject Property"). 

 

The Office of Planning provided a report on November 27, 2013.  At its public meeting on December 9, 2013, the Zoning Commission voted to set the application down for a public hearing.  The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on December 23, 2013.       

 

The Subject Property has a combined land area of approximately 16,756 square feet, with approximately 116.67 linear feet of frontage on Georgia Avenue.  Square 2892 is located in the northwest quadrant of the City and is bounded by Lamont Street to the north, Georgia Avenue to the east, Kenyon Street to the south, and Sherman Avenue to the west.  The Subject Property is located in Ward 1 and within the boundaries of Advisory Neighborhood Commission ("ANC") 1A.

The proposed project is a mixed-use development that includes approximately 3,816 square feet of gross floor area devoted to retail uses, and approximately 96,000 square feet of gross floor area devoted to 105 residential units (plus or minus 10%).  The project will have a building height of approximately 87 feet, and an overall density of 5.95 FAR.  The project also includes 36 off-street parking spaces, with 34 spaces located in a below-grade parking garage and two surface spaces located at the rear of the building.
