CASE NO. 11-06 (Application of Urban Investment Partners to Rezone Property Located in Square 3028, Lots 813 and 814)
THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANC 4C
On March 4, 2011, the Office of Zoning received an application from Urban Investment Partners to amend the Zoning Map to rezone property located in Square 3028 from the R-4 Zone District to the C-3-A Zone District. The Office of Planning provided its report on April 15, 2011, and the case was set down for a public hearing on April 25, 2011. The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on May 12, 2011.
The property that is the subject of this application consists of approximately 24,017 square feet of land area and is located at 3800 New Hampshire Avenue, NW and 811 Quincy Street, NW (Square 3028, Lots 813, 814).
The R-4 District is designed to include those areas now developed primarily with row dwellings.
The C-3 Districts are designed to accommodate major business and employment centers supplementary to the Central Business District and provide substantial amounts of employment, housing and mixed uses. The C-3-A Zone District is compact in area and located on arterial streets, in uptown centers and at rapid transit stops.
Proposed amendments to the Zoning Regulations and Map of the District of Columbia are authorized pursuant to the Zoning Act of 1938, approved June 20, 1938 (52 Stat. 797; DC Official Code Section 6-641.01 et. seq.)
The public hearing on this case will be conducted in accordance with the contested case provisions of Section 3022 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations, Title 11, Zoning. The Commission will impose time limits on testimony presented to it at the public hearing.
