The
DC Office of Zoning had its second hearing on the
proposed baseball stadium amendment to the Capitol Gateway Overlay District last night, July 11. (I swear I checked the
agenda within the past few days and it wasn't there, otherwise I would have told you! Honest!) According to a very helpful lady at DCOZ, the proposed amendment was approved with only minor modifications ("wording clarifications"); what happens now is that the revised text will appear in the
DC Register (perhaps in the July 22 edition). Thirty days are allowed for comment, with the Zoning Board then acting on final approval after that (perhaps at the September 12th meeting). Note that this is just the zoning for the area--the
proposed stadium itself will also have to come before the Zoning Board for hearings and approval. I would point you to the Capitol Gateway Overlay District laws in the full
DC Municipal Regulations, but Chapter 16/Capitol Gateway Overlay District is mysteriously not listed in the
Zoning Table of Contents!
