FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING:
Z.C. Case No. 08-07 (Four Points, LLC on behalf of Curtis Properties, Inc., et al @ Squares 5772, 5783, 5784, and 5785 - First-Stage Planned Unit Development & Map Amendment)
THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANC 8A
On March 31, 2008, the Office of Zoning received an application from Four Points, LLC, on behalf of Curtis Properties, Inc., 2200 Railroad LLC, JCX-Right Realty Inc., HS White, and Anacostia Professional Building Revocable Trust (collectively the "Applicant").
The Applicant initially sought first-stage planned unit development (“PUD”) approval for portions of the property, consolidated planned unit development approval for the remaining portions of the property, and related amendments to the Zoning Map. The Office of Planning submitted a report on May 30, 2008. At its regularly scheduled public meeting of June 6, 2008, the Zoning Commission voted to set the application down for a public hearing, but only as a preliminary PUD and related map amendment.
In a letter dated June 11, 2008, the Applicant expressed its appreciation for the Commission’s action, but suggested that “the Commission exercise its discretion to set the case down as a Preliminary and Consolidated PUD and Related Map Amendment, subject to the Commission's reservation of it [sic] rights pursuant to 11 DCMR § 2402.6 to ultimately determine which portions of the development will be approved on a preliminary basis and which portions will be approved on a consolidated basis.” (Emphasis in original). The Commission considered the Applicant’s request as a correspondence item at a special public meeting held June 16, 2008 and directed the Applicant to revise its application as a preliminary PUD.
By letter dated June 24, 2008, the Applicant revised its application to seek first-stage review for Square 5772, Lots 827, 829, 831, 880, 984, 1017, and 1019; Square 5783, Lots 829 and 1018; Square 5784, Lots 898, 899, and 900; and Square 5785, Lots 839 and 906. The Applicant is also seeking an amendment to the zoning map to rezone: (i) portions of Lots 984 and 1019 in Square 5772 from C-3-A/C-M-1 to C-3-A; (ii) Lots 829 and 1018 in Square 5783 from C-2-A to C-3-A; (iii) Lots 898, 899, and 900 in Square 5784 from C-2-A to C-3-A; and (iv) Lot 906 in Square 5785 from C-2-A/C-3-A to C-3-A.
The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on April 19, 2013.
The property that is the subject of this application is located in the southeast quadrant of the District. The property is generally bounded by U Street, S.E. to the north, Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue to the east, Chicago Street to the south, and Interstate 295 to the west. The property has a combined land area of approximately 340,467 square feet. The property is located in Ward 8 and within the boundaries of Advisory Neighborhood Commission (“ANC”) 8A.
The proposed project is a mixed-use development composed of retail, office and residential uses. The overall project will have a density of 4.8 FAR, as permitted under the C-3-A requirements with the utilization of bonus density permitted under the Inclusionary Zoning provisions, and will include approximately 627,840 square feet of residential uses, 144,000 square feet of retail uses, and 902,400 square feet of office uses once the project is completely built-out. The buildings will have varying heights and cornice lines and will be constructed to a maximum height of 90 feet. The project will have an overall lot occupancy of approximately 83% and will include a total of 1,486 off-street parking spaces.
This public hearing will be conducted in accordance with the contested case provisions of the Zoning Regulations 11 DCMR, § 3022.
