 The last item to summarize from Monday's ANC 6D presentation hearing was an update on the series of changes being requested to the Capper/Carrollsburg PUD. I've been writing about some portion of these requests since July, so here's some bullet points I've previously written (I just can't bring myself to have to compose new entries about this stuff AGAIN), along with comments from the ANC commissioners: "Under the original Capper plans, there was to be a strip of 61 townhouses built on this spot, but the DC Housing Authority has recognized that these homes would be dwarfed by the B.E.Q. to the north and the two planned office buildings directly behind them at 600 M Street. So DCHA has now filed a request with the Zoning Commission to allow an expansion in the total number of housing units allowed at Capper to 1,747, which would allow the construction of a four-story 189-unit apartment building (with a massing very similar to the B.E.Q.) on this stretch of L Street known as Square 882N. This Zoning Commission request is also looking to expand the number of units in the planned apartment building on the south side of L Street between Second and Third (let's call it Square 769N) to 171 units[.]" The ANC was told that the Square 769N building was originally designed to be a market-rate condo building only, but that financing realities have forced a switch to rentals. And because rental units can be smaller, they were able to not only add more than 60 units, but make 34 of those units public housing, allowing a lower proportion of public housing units in the other four apartment buildings while still maintaining the required Hope VI one-to-one replacement of the original 695 Capper public housing units. As for the Square 882 buildings, the change to apartments from townhouses would require a boost in parking spaces from 49 to 172--but they are proposing to lower the total spaces at the office building from 400 to 284. This is part of a request to bring down the overall number of required parking spaces from 1,845 to 1,780, including the removal of the requirement for 70 off-site spaces for 400 M Street, which have been determined to be unnecessary. (Note that the Square 769 and Square 882 issues before the Zoning Commission are technically a PUD second-stage review.) * Time Extensions: " There were also requests for three time extensions: to extend the first-stage PUD for an additional five years, to extend the deadline for filing second-stage approvals for the apartment building sites along Canal Park (including the trash-transfer station site) to 2013, and to extend the deadline for filing a building permit application for the planned community center at Fifth and K to January 2011, with an included extension of the start of construction to January 2012."Commissioner Bob Siegel in particular is very unhappy about the delay in the community center construction, saying that the senior residents of 900 5th Street need an exercise room and other amenities. But he was told that, simply, the community center is unfinanceable right now. And Commissioner Ron McBee wants to revisit the community benefits that were agreed to in the original Capper PUD, asking the presenters to get him a list of those benefits--I can do it for them, by pointing to pages 12-14 of the 2004 zoning order. The Zoning Commission will be hearing all these items on March 19. You can see the hearing notice for the zoning-related specifics on the three cases

Geez, 695 public housing units is still a ton and may be an unsustainable level unless the market rate units are extremely affordable and nice.
JD says: (2/4/09 6:22 PM)
300 of them are in the two already completed buildings at 900 5th Street and 400 M. There will be 96 scattered throughout the Capitol Quarter townhouses. That leaves 200 in the five apartment buildings still to come.

Can someone who is knowledgeable about financing public projects explain why the Community Center is not financeable now? Wouldn't the financing be in place if they had gotten so far as to employ and architect?
As one of the people that is going to be living across from the dump yard for apparently 2.5 years, I'm very interested in this project!
JD says: (2/6/09 12:53 PM)
Sophia--They got $35 million from the original Hope VI grant, which was enough to do some things but which is to be leveraged into the hundreds of millions of dollars needed to complete the entire project. They have to sell bonds, or enter financing deals with banks, or whatever to get that remaining money, and it just isn't very easy right now.
It's like with Capitol Quarter--there was an original $5 million for the infrastructure work, but it wasn't until they completed that huge bond sale last year that they were able to start actual construction.
Sophia says: (2/9/09 7:19 AM)
Thanks for the explanation. It's just too bad that the old building (as unattractive as it may have been) was torn down to make way for the new one... leaving us without anything for several years.
