FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING:

 

CASE NO. 13-07 (David Belt - Zoning Consistency Map Amendment to a Portion of Square 5081)

 

THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANC 7D

 

On April 19, 2013, the Office of Zoning received a petition (“ Petition”) from David P. Belt (“Petitioner”) for a map amendment to rezone Lots 11-22, 52, 804, 805, and 806 in Square 5081 (“Subject Property”) from the C-3-A to the R-1-B Zone District.  The Office of Planning (“OP”) indicated in its report dated June 28, 2013, that an amendment to the R-5-A Zone District would better reflect the Moderate-Density Residential designation for most of the Subject Property on the Future Land Use Map and avoid the creation of nonconformities.  OP suggested that the Commission could advertise an amendment to the R-5-A Zone District either alone or in the alternative and stated that the Petitioner did not oppose an R-5-A amendment.  The Zoning Commission at its public meeting held July 8, 2013 set down the Petition as an amendment to the R-5-A Zone District only.

 

The Subject Property has an approximate land area of 59,800 square feet (1.33 acre).  This portion of Square 5081 is abutted by a public alley 16 feet wide along the northern (rear) and eastern (side) perimeters, and Benning Road and 39^th Street along the southern (front) and western (side) perimeters, respectively, in Northeast Washington, D.C.

 

The R-5-A Zone District is designed to permit all types of urban residential development that conform to certain height, density, and area requirements.  Only low height and density are permitted in this district and proposed residential development, not consisting of one-family detached or semi-detached dwellings, is subject to special exception review.

 

Proposed amendments to the Zoning Map of the District of Columbia are authorized pursuant to the Zoning Act of 1938, approved June 20, 1938 (52 Stat. 797; 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 § 3021 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.

 

All individuals, organizations, or associations wishing to testify in this case should file their intention to testify writing.  Written statements, in lieu of personal appearances or oral presentations, may be submitted for inclusion in the record.

 

Information should be forwarded to the Secretary of the Zoning Commission, Office of Zoning, Suite 210, 441 4^th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.  20001.  Please include the number of the particular case and your daytime telephone number.  FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, YOU MAY CONTACT THE OFFICE OF ZONING AT [phone].
