On Monday (July 13) the Zoning Commission will be hearing a
request from Forest City for a text amendment to the
Southeast Federal Center Overlay that would "authorize a Trapeze School and Aerial Performing Arts Center in the SEFC/R-5-E Zone District at
the Yards." This is the
Trapeze School New York, which left Baltimore's Inner Harbor
earlier this year and is currently flying through the air on the old DC Convention Center site at Ninth and H, NW. The school would take up residence on the lot on the
southeast corner of Fourth and Tingey ("Parcel O"), which someday will be a residential building but is not expected to be developed anytime soon. It's also just north of the site of the
Park at the Yards, which is scheduled to open next year.
