FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING:
CASE NO. 10-15 (Office of Zoning - Text Amendment to 11 DCMR, Chapter 30, § 3004, Minutes and Transcripts)
THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ALL ANCs
The Office of Zoning (“OZ”), in a request dated June 1, 2010, petitioned the Zoning Commission for a text amendment to remove all references to meeting minutes and to make other clarifications. The Office of Planning provided its setdown report on July 1, 2010, which was also deemed to be the Petitioner’s supplemental filing.
At its regular public meeting held July 12, 2010, the Zoning Commission setdown this case for a public hearing.
The proposed amendments to the Zoning Regulations, Title 11 DCMR, are as follows:
A. Chapter 30, ZONING COMMISSION PROCEDURES RULES OF PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE, § 3004, MINUTES AND TRANSCRIPTS, is re-titled “PUBLIC MEETING AND HEARING TRANSCRIPTS” and amended to remove all references to meeting minutes and to make other clarifications so that the provision will read as follows:
3004 PUBLIC MEETING AND HEARING TRANSCRIPTS
3004.1 The transcripts of Commission public meetings and hearings are a matter of public record and shall be open for inspection at the Office of Zoning.
3004.2 The public meetings and hearings shall be reported under the supervision of the presiding officer, by transcription or by other means, by an official reporter who may be designated from time to time by the Director (or designee) or who may be a regular employee of the Office of Zoning.
3004.3 The transcript prepared by the reporter shall be the sole official transcript of the public meetings and hearings.
3004.4 Copies of the transcript will be made available in the Office of Zoning fourteen (14) calendar days after the public meeting or hearing.
3004.5 A motion to correct a transcript may be made only when the alleged error is substantive.
3004.6 A motion to correct a transcript shall be filed with the Commission within ten (10) calendar days after the transcript has been made available in the Office of Zoning.

3004.11 If a motion to correct a transcript is granted, the corrected transcript will be made available in the Office of Zoning fourteen (14) calendar days after the Commission grants the motion.
Proposed amendments to the Zoning Regulations of the District of Columbia are authorized pursuant to the Zoning Act of June 20, 1938, (52 Stat. 797), as amended, D.C. Official Code § 6-641.01, et seq.
The public hearing on this case will be conducted as a rulemaking in accordance with the provisions of 11 DCMR § 3021. Pursuant to that section, the Commission will impose time limits on testimony presented to it at the public hearing.
All individuals, organizations, or associations wishing to testify in this case should file their intention to testify in writing. Written statements, in lieu of personal appearances or oral presentations, may be submitted for inclusion in the record.
