ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING

Z.C. Case No. 13-01

(Text Amendment – 11 DCMR)

       (Minor Modification to § 1700.1)

 

The Zoning Commission for the District of Columbia (Commission), pursuant to its authority under § 1 of the Zoning Act of 1938, approved June 20, 1938 (52 Stat. 797; D.C. Official Code § 6-641.01 (2008 Repl.)) and pursuant to the its Consent Calendar procedure set forth at 11 DCMR § 3030, hereby gives notice of its intent to amend Section 1700.1 of the Zoning Regulations, Title 11 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR). Final rulemaking action shall be taken in not less than thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this notice in the D.C. Register.  The amendment will eliminate an outdated reference to the boundary of the Downtown Development Overlay.

 

Since the amendment is technical in nature, no hearing was held, nor will the amendment be referred to the National Capital Planning Commission for its review.

 

The following amendments to the Zoning Regulations are proposed:

 

Chapter 17, DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT, § 1700.1, GENERAL PROVISIONS (DD), § 1700.1, is amended by deleting its second sentence,[1] so that the entire provision reads as follows:

 

1700.1             The Downtown Development (DD) Overlay District is applied to the core of the Downtown area, including subareas identified in the Comprehensive Plan as the Downtown Shopping District (Retail Core), the Arts District, Gallery Place, Chinatown, Pennsylvania Quarter, Convention Center, and Mount Vernon Square, and areas designated for historic preservation and housing mixed use, which areas overlap geographically with the subareas.. All street locations in this overlay district are in Northwest Washington.

 

All persons desiring to comment on the subject matter of this proposed rulemaking action should file comments in writing no later than thirty (30) days after the date of publication of this notice in the D.C. Register.  Comments should be filed with Sharon S. Schellin, Secretary to the Zoning Commission, Office of Zoning, 441 4^th Street, N.W., Suite 200-S, Washington, D.C. 20001.  Ms. Schellin may also be contacted by telephone at [phone] or by email at [e-mail]. Copies of this proposed rulemaking action may be obtained at cost by writing to the above address.
