Donohoe's planned 146,000-sq-ft office building at
1111 New Jersey Ave. (on the west side of New Jersey between L and M) takes a step forward tomorrow with a
hearing in front of the
Board of Zoning Adjustment--they're looking for a special exception for a waver of the rear yard requirement, which apparently would allow them to put up an 11-story building with higher ceilings as opposed to a 12-story building with lower ceilings if they have to keep the rear yard. ANC 6D
voted in April to oppose this application, but more because the developers are not providing a community benefits package than any issues with the application itself. The hearing should be
webcast, and I'd tell you what time it's scheduled for, but the
Zoning Schedules and Agendas site has been down for three days now, so I can't look it up to confirm.
UPDATE: The BZA site is back, so I can tell you that the
hearing is the third item on the agenda for the session that begins at 9:30 am.
