Located in Ward 6, the Planning Area for the Plan is bounded on the north by I-395, to the west by Maine Avenue, SW, to the east by South Capitol Street, and to the south by P Street, SW. The Plan provides a community-based strategy for an urban design, land use, and neighborhood preservation framework to enhance parks, pedestrian and street  connections,  integrate community amenities, enhance transportation choices, and accommodate and guide the direction of future growth in the Southwest neighborhood. The Plan also provides land use guidance for multiple underutilized District controlled properties that currently house municipal facilities.
