THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANC 2B

 

On February 22, 2013, the Office of Zoning received an application from ICG 16th Street Associates LLC, the owner of Lot 41 in Square 185 (the “Applicant”), requesting approval of a planned unit development ("PUD") and related map amendment for the property from the SP-2 to the C-3-C District.  The Office of Planning provided its report on March 29, 2013, and the case was set down for hearing on April 8, 2013. The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on April 9, 2013.

 

The property consists of approximately 17,483 square feet of land area.  Lot 41 is currently improved with the Third Church of Christ, Scientist Complex, which will be demolished subject to clearance by the Mayor’s Agent for Historic Preservation.  The PUD and map amendment will allow the site to be developed with a mixed-use project comprised of an office building and a new church for the Third Church of Christ, Scientist.  The project will include approximately 140,863 square feet of gross floor area, or an aggregate floor area ratio (“FAR”) of 8.06.  Proposed uses will include approximately 125,246 square feet of gross floor area devoted to commercial office space; approximately 11,722 square feet of gross floor area devoted to a house of worship; and approximately 3,895 square feet of gross floor area devoted to retail uses.  The overall height of the building will be 112 feet, 3.5 inches, consisting of nine stories.  The new structure will occupy 100 percent of the site. 

 

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