Let's go around the horn and see what happened at last night's various meetings.
* The Zoning Commission voted to give final approval to the plans for
250 M Street, William C. Smith's planned 190,000-sq-ft office building on M Street just east of what will be
Canal Park. The building, which is actually part of the
Capper/Carrollsburg Planned Unit Development (and will help fund all the redevelopment at Capper), is expected to start construction at the end of 2007.
* ANC 6D had three Near Southeast items on the agenda--unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend, so I'm giving you the quick and dirty results, and will hopefully have links later for additional details. First, they gave their approval (again) to the 276-unit residential building planned by Camden Development at
1325 South Capitol Street, but this was pretty prefunctory since they approved it a few months back and nothing has really changed except a bureaucratic need to resubmit the plan to the Zoning Commission in a different manner; the ZC hearing is on
May 31. Second, they voted not to support Zoning Commission Case
07-08, the request to amend the city's zoning laws to allow temporary (no longer than five years) surface parking lots
on certain squares in Near Southeast to help provide parking for the new stadium. There was also a presentation by the DC Housing Authority on what's been happening with
Capper/Carrollsburg and the
Capper seniors buildings, but of course you've been reading this site religiously and so know it all already.
UPDATE: Apparently the feelings against the parking case ran pretty strong; and I understand that Andy Litsky of the ANC will be testifying in opposition at the
Zoning Commission hearing next Monday (May 21).
