Here are some quotes from some recent OFFICIAL documents put up on the zoning page for this project:

DC Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) — May 5, 2023 — https://app.dcoz.dc.gov/CaseReport/ViewExhibit.aspx?exhibitId=310442 — “DMPED supports the map amendment which would permit medium to high density mixed-use development by right at this location and would bring its zoning into alignment with that envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map (FLUM).”

DC Office of Planning (OP) — January 28, 2023 — https://app.dcoz.dc.gov/CaseReport/ViewExhibit.aspx?exhibitId=298458 — “Depending on the ultimate development plan, the MU-10 zone’s density and height maximums could permit construction of … over 200 affordable housing units.”

DC Dept of Transportation (DDOT) — May 5, 2023 — https://app.dcoz.dc.gov/CaseReport/ViewExhibit.aspx?exhibitId=310331 — “The existing Mu-4 zone allows for the site to be developed with moderate-density mixed-use development with an FAR of 3.0 and building height max of 50 feet. If rezoned to MU-10, the site could potentially achieve a 7.2 FAR, assuming the inclusive zoning (IZ) bonus and a building height max of 100 feet. It is estimated that a maximum of 408 residential units with 65,000 SF retail could be constructed on-site if the rezoning to MU-10 is granted, as compared to approximately 156 dwellings and 40,000 SF retail under the existing MU-4.”
