FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING:
CASE NO. 08-06B (Office of Zoning - Text Amendment to 11 DCMR, Subtitles Y and Z to Establish Board of Zoning Adjustment and Zoning Commission Fees)
THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ALL ANCs
At the December 11, 2014 public meeting held by the Zoning Commission, the Office of Zoning (“OZ”) requested that it be allowed to commence a proceeding under the Zoning Regulations Review case, Case No. 08-06A, to establish the fees for the Board of Zoning Adjustment and the Zoning Commission applicable to the various types of proceedings described in the revised Title 11 for which the Commission took proposed action at that same meeting. The actual fees were left blank in the version of the revised title before the Commission. The purpose of this proceeding is the fill in the blanks. If the Commission takes proposed action as to this proceeding, the fees proposed would be incorporated into the final version of the revised Title 11 and considered by the Commission at the time it considers taking final action on the entire title. OZ further requested that the proceeding be permitted to be advertised without a setdown procedure per § 3011.3. The Commission agreed to waive setdown.
The vast majority of the fees are those that presently exist, although a few additional fees have been added for several new special exceptions that will be available under the revised Title 11. Those new fees were based upon the present fee structure. As an alternative, the Office of Zoning is proposing that the all the fee amounts that follow should be three percent (3%) greater than the amount stated.
Title 11 DCMR (Zoning) is proposed to be amended as follows:
