THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANC 6C
On October 30, 2015, the Office of Zoning received an application from Foulger-Pratt Development, LLC (the “Applicant”) requesting approval of a consolidated planned unit development (“PUD”) and a PUD-related map amendment to facilitate the development of 301-331 N Street, N.E. (Square 772, Lots 20-23 & 800) for a mixed-use project. The Office of Planning submitted its report in support of setting the application down for a public hearing on January 29, 2016. On February 8, 2016, the Commission voted to set down the application for a public hearing. The Applicant filed its prehearing statement on March 28, 2016.
The property that is the subject of this application consists of approximately 69,240 square feet of land area. The property is located on the south side of N Street, N.E. between 3rd and 4th Streets, N.E. The property is located in the C-M-1 Zone District. The Applicant seeks a PUD-related map amendment to the C-3-C Zone District. The property is located in the mixed-use Medium-Density Commercial/Medium-Density Residential/Production, Distribution and Repair land use category on the Future Land Use Map of the District of Columbia Comprehensive Plan.
The Applicant proposes to develop the property into a project of two integrated buildings with a mix of uses. The east building will contain residential and ground floor retail uses, and the west building will contain residential, hotel, office, and ground-floor retail uses. In total, the project will contain approximately 366 residential units, approximately 175 hotel rooms, and approximately 250 underground parking spaces. The overall floor area ratio of the project will be approximately 6.65, and the maximum building height will be 120 feet.
This public hearing will be conducted in accordance with the contested case provisions of the Zoning Regulations, 11 DCMR § 3022.
