FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING:

Z.C. Case No. 07-08B (Text Amendments to DCMR Title 11, Chapter 21, Off-Street Parking Requirements, to extend the permission for temporary surface parking spaces on specified lots and squares from April 1, 2013 to April 1, 2018.)

 

THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANC 6D

 

On June 30, 2012, the Office of Zoning received a report that served as a petition from the District of Columbia Office of Planning on behalf of the DC Sports and Entertainment Commission and the Washington Nationals for a text amendment to the Zoning Regulations to extend the previously approved permission for temporary surface parking lots on specified squares and portions of squares in the South-west neighborhood.  The original approvals (Z.C. Case Nos. 07-08 and 07-08A) provided an end date for the temporary parking lots of April 1, 2013.  The report requested that this be extended to April 1, 2018 (5 years).

No other changes to the provisions of the temporary parking lot permission were proposed.

At its regular public meeting held July 9, 2012, the Zoning Commission setdown this case for a public hearing. 

The proposed amendments to the Zoning Regulations are as follows, with deletions from existing provisions text shown in strikethrough and additions to existing provisions shown in bold and underlined text:
