Recently, the Save DC Public Land campaign filed a FOIA with the DC Zoning Commission regarding Zoning Case 23-02 and the future of 1617 U Street NW.
The FOIA has been acknowledged and the campaign is awaiting responsive documents which will be shared here once they are received.
From the FOIA:
The DC Zoning Commission took final action on ZC Case No. 23-02 on September 12, 2024 (https://play.champds.com/dczoning/event/1084/s/1010). That’s almost thirteen months ago.
The future of 1617 U Street, NW, is of serious public interest and impacts existing first-responder services for many, many residents in the area. The outcomes at this site, including by way of zoning will have a permanent and lasting impact affecting the quality of life and emergency response times for the entire U Street corridor and Wards 1 & 2 neighborhoods.
Impacted residents, included those filing this FOIA, are confounded that more than a year later a Zoning Order has not yet been published for public review. We seek communications around this case to better understand the substantial delay in this matter.
