ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
NOTICE OF FINAL RULEMAKING
AND
Z.C. ORDER NO. 13-01
Z.C. Case No. 13-01
(Text Amendment – 11 DCMR
(Minor Modification to § 1700.1)
March 11, 2013
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 Consent Calendar procedure set forth at 11 DCMR § 3030, hereby gives notice of its adoption of an amendment to § 1700.1 of the Zoning Regulations in Title 11 (Zoning) of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR). The amendment eliminates an outdated reference to the boundary of the Downtown Development Overlay. Since the amendment is technical in nature, no hearing was held and the amendment was not referred to the National Capital Planning Commission for its review.
A notice of proposed rulemaking was published in the D.C. Register on January 25, 2013 at 60 DCR 901. No comments were received.
At a properly noticed public meeting held on March 11, 2013, the Commission took final action to adopt the text amendment, making no changes to the text as proposed.
The amendment shall become effective upon the publication of this notice in the D.C. Register.
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.
On March 11, 2013, upon the motion Chairman Hood, as seconded by Commissioner May, the Zoning Commission ADOPTED this Order at its public meeting by a vote of 5-0-0 (Anthony J. Hood, Marcie I. Cohen, Robert E. Miller, Peter G. May, and Michael G Turnbull to adopt).
In accordance with the provisions of 11 DCMR § 3028, this Order shall become effective upon publication in the D.C. Register; that is on March 22, 2013.
[1] The second sentence read:
The boundaries of the DD Overlay District are indicated in Map A, filed in Zoning Commission Case No. 89-25, which may be viewed at the D.C. Office of Zoning.
