FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING:

 

CASE NO.  03-12Q/03-13Q (Capper Carrollsburg Venture, LLC and D.C. Housing Authority – Modification to 1^st-Stage PUD @ Squares 739, 767, and 768)

 

THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANCs 6B and 6D

 

On December 31, 2013, the Office of Zoning received an application from Capper Carrollsburg Venture, LLC and the District of Columbia Housing Authority ("DCHA") (collectively, the "Applicant").  The Applicant is requesting a modification to the first-stage planned unit development (“PUD”) and related zoning map amendment approved for Squares 739, 767, and 768 (the "Subject Property"), pursuant to Z.C. Order No. 03-12/03-13, as modified by 03‑12H/03-13H.  The Subject Property is part of a larger PUD, approved pursuant to Z.C. Order No. 03-12/03-13, effective October 8, 2004, that included 707 public housing replacement units. 

The Office of Planning provided its set down report on January 31, 2014.  At its February 10, 2014 public meeting the Commission set down the modification for a public hearing.  The Commission also deferred consideration of a companion time extension request made in Z.C. Case No., 03-12R/03-13R until its consideration of final action under this case.  The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on April 29, 2014.

In the Applicant's application materials, dated January 2, 2014, the Applicant sought a modification to the first-stage approval to reallocate the location and distribution of the remaining required Annual Contribution Contract ("ACC") units to provide 99 ACC units in Square 739; 48 ACC units in Square 767; 59 ACC units in Square 768; and 30 ACC units off-site in Lot 77 in Square 737.  In the Applicant's subsequent prehearing submission materials, dated April 29, 2014, the Applicant revised its request so that rather than identifying Squares 739, 767, and 768 as the location for the remaining 206 on-site ACC units, the Applicant sought the flexibility to construct these units anywhere on the undeveloped squares within the PUD boundaries without identifying the number of units per square at this time.

The overall PUD site consists of approximately 33 acres of land area and is generally bounded by 2^nd Street on the west, 7^th Street on the east, Virginia Avenue on the north, and M Street on the south, all in the southeast quadrant of the District (the "PUD Site").  The PUD Site is within the boundaries of Advisory Neighborhood Commission 6D.  The requested modification will maintain the approved total number of 707 public housing units proposed for the PUD Site.  Instead of providing 695 ACC units on the PUD Site and 12 ACC units off-site, as approved in Z.C. Order No. 03-12/03-13, the modified development will provide 665 ACC units on the PUD Site and 42 ACC units on off-site locations.  The requested modification does not change any of the zoning parameters for the approved PUD.

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

Interested persons or representatives of organizations may be heard at the public hearing.
