FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING:

 

CASE NO.  07-26F (City Market at O Condo, LLC and Roadside Development – Modification of Previously Approved PUD and Zoning Map Amendment @ Square 398)

 

THIS CASE IS OF INTEREST TO ANC 6E

 

On June 26, 2014, the Office of Zoning received an application from City Market at O Condo, LLC and Roadside Development (the “Applicant”).  The Applicant is requesting approval of modifications to the approved planned unit development for the O Street Market project, now known as City Market at O.  The Applicant originally requested that the Zoning Commission consider the proposed modifications on the consent calendar, pursuant to § 3030 of the Zoning Regulations.  The Office of Planning provided its report on July 7, 2014, in which it concluded that the modifications were not minor, but recommended that the application be set for public hearing. When the Zoning Commission considered the case at its public meeting on July 17, 2104, the Commission determined that the matter should not be considered on the consent calendar and determined to schedule a public hearing on the application. The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on August 25, 2014.

 

The overall property that is the subject of this application consists of approximately 149,600 square feet of land area and is located in the block bounded by 7^th, 9^th, O  and P Streets, N.W. (Square 398, Lot 32).  The subject property is zoned C-3-C.

 

The Applicant proposes to modify the building to be located on the western portion of the site on the south side of P Street and the east side of 9^th Street.  The modifications for that portion of the overall PUD include:

• Addition of bays on the interior courtyard;
• Reallocation of approximately 4,266 square feet of commercial floor area to residential use, which extends the 8th floor along the 9th Street frontage at 82 feet;
• Increase in building height from 90 feet to 91.8 feet at the P Street frontage;
• Increase in the height of roof structure (#4) on the north side from 100 to 102 feet;

·         Increase in height of the mechanical penthouse from 102 feet to 108.5 feet (roof structure #4); and 

·         Request for flexibility from the 1:1 setback for a portion of the roof structure to allow added height at the elevator core.

 

 

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