On August 13, 2012, the Office of Zoning received an application from 3rd & M LLC & Park Inn Associates LP (the “Applicant”) requesting approval of consolidated PUDs and related Zoning Map amendments in order to permit the redevelopment of the Property. On October 1, 2012, the Applicant filed two revised applications splitting the original application into two because the Property is not contiguous. The Office of Planning provided its report on October 5, 2012. On October 15, 2012, the Commission set down the applications for a public hearing and agreed to hear the applications together. The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on March 15, 2013.
Combined, the property that is the subject of this hearing consists of approximately 108,895 square feet of land area (76,016 square feet for Z.C. Case No. 12-14 and 32,879 square feet for Z.C. Case No. 12-14A) and is located at the northwest corner of 3rd and M Streets S.W., to the east of the Southwest Waterfront Metrorail Station. The Property is located in the High-Density Residential land use category on the Future Land Use Map of the District of Columbia Comprehensive Plan. The Property is located in the R-5-D Zone District. The Applicant also requests a PUD related map amendment to rezone the Property to the CR Zone District.
The Applicant proposes to redevelop the Property with three new residential buildings plus the renovation of an existing residential building. If approved, the project will have the following characteristics. In total, the project will contain approximately 401 new apartments (209 apartments for Z.C. Case No. 12-14 and 192 apartments for Z.C. Case No. 12-14A) and approximately 2,940 square feet of ground-floor retail use. Two new buildings will be constructed to a height of 110 feet (one each for both Z.C. Case Nos. 12-14 and 12-14A), and one new building will have a height of 45 feet (Z.C. Case No. 12-14). The project will have an overall density of 4.43 FAR (4.02 FAR for Z.C. Case No. 12-14 and 5.24 FAR for Z.C. Case No. 12-14A), and it will contain approximately 289 parking spaces (176 spaces for Z.C. Case No. 12-14 and 113 spaces for Z.C. Case No. 12-14A).
This public hearing will be conducted in accordance with the contested case provisions of the Zoning Regulations, 11 DCMR § 3022.
