THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANCs_5D & 5C

 

On August 10, 2015, the Office of Zoning received an application from 411 New York Avenue Holdings, LLC (the “Applicant”).  The Applicant is requesting approval of a consolidated planned unit development (“PUD”) and related map amendment from C-M-1 to C-3-C.

 

The Office of Planning filed its report on September 11, 2015, which recommended that the case be set down by the Zoning Commission.   The case was set down for hearing by the Zoning Commission on September 21, 2015. 

 

The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on November 9, 2015.

 

The property that is the subject of this application consists of approximately 14,000 square feet of land area and is located at 411 New York Avenue, N.E. (Square 3594, Lot 800).  The subject property is zoned C-M-1.

 

The C-3-C Zone District permits matter-of-right development for major business and employment centers of medium/high density development, including hotel, retail, office, housing, and other mixed-uses to a maximum lot occupancy to 100%, a maximum PUD floor area ratio (“FAR”) of 8.0 for commercial uses, including hotels, and residential uses and a maximum PUD height of 130 feet.

 

The Applicant proposes to develop the property with an 11-story hotel with space dedicated to an art gallery, outdoor sculpture terrace, studio spaces, and classroom.  The project will have a density of 8.0 FAR and a building height of approximately 110 feet.  It will include 47 parking spaces. 

 

This public hearing will be conducted in accordance with the contested case provisions of the Zoning Regulations, 11 DCMR § 3022.
