MEMORANDUM INTRODUCTION Board of Zoning Adjustment District 1140 Connecticut Avenue NW Suite 600 Washington, DC 20036 202.296.8625 MEMORANDUM To: Jenna Jacobson Rock Creek Property Group David Avitabile Goulston & Storrs Jane Nelson Nelson Architects From: Tracy Jones-Schoenfeld Daniel Solomon Robert B. Schiesel, P.E. Daniel B. VanPelt, P.E., PTOE Date: June 9, 2017 Subject: 5 Thomas Circle – Comprehensive Transportation Review INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents a Comprehensive Transportation Review (CTR) of the proposed expansion of the National City Christian Church, located at 5 Thomas Circle in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Northwest Washington, DC. This document was prepared in support of the project’s Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) application. Figure 1 identifies the regional site location within the District, and Figure 2 shows an aerial of the site in relation to its near vicinity. The site is currently improved with a three-story structure occupied by the National City Christian Church. The Campbell Wing, located on the western portion of the property, currently has 39,000 square feet of space which has included a variety of uses including office, educational, and childcare. The proposed project will add two floors with approximately 21,000 additional square feet of office space to the Campbell Wing. It is anticipated that this space will be primarily leased by tenants not affiliated with the National City Christian Church. The site is located 0.3 miles from the McPherson Square Metrorail Station, which provides direct connections to areas in the District, Maryland, and Virginia. Pedestrian facilities near the site provide excellent connections to transit and other destinations. The presence of numerous bike facilities near the site, including a Capital Bikeshare station directly adjacent to the site, will increase the use of non-vehicular travel modes to and from the site. Due to the property being a historic landmark, no vehicular or bicycle parking spaces are required by the Zoning Regulations. However, the Applicant has an agreement with Atlantic Parking to provide up to 40 parking spaces in two nearby facilities if there is demand for the spaces. Trash and loading will continue to take place within the alley to the north of the site, with access via N Street NW. The purpose of this memorandum is to: . Provide a summary of the proposed development program, including existing site conditions and details on the proposed expansion plans. Review the major transportation elements of the site plan, namely a review of pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the vicinity of the site; a review of transit facilities near the site; and parking accommodations, including curbside management and a review of available public parking near the site. Provide a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan for staff and employees. Board of ZoningBoard Adjustment of Zoning Adjustment Transportation Planners and Engineers District of ColumbiaDistrictwww.goroveslade.com of Columbia CASE NO.19534 Case No. 19534 EXHIBIT NO.30 30 5 Thomas Circle BZA – Comprehensive Transportation Review Page 2 June 9, 2017 The following conclusions were made regarding the proposed expansion of the National City Christian Church: . The site is surrounded by an extensive network of transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities that results in an excellent environment for safe and effective non-auto transportation; . Given the site’s excellent access to numerous modes of transportation, minimal vehicular parking is anticipated to be necessary to serve the programmatic needs of the development; . The amount of parking generated by the expansion can easily be accommodated in the public parking supply in parking garages close to the building. The Applicant has secured an agreement with Atlantic Parking to provide up to 40 parking spaces for employees in the project; . The planned expansion of the western wing of the National City Christian Church will not generate a significant number of new trips; and . A robust TDM plan will encourage non-auto use by employees of the expansion, further reducing the demand for automobile parking. EXISTING CONDITIONS This section provides a review of the existing transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities in the vicinity of the site. The site is served by several public transportation sources, including Metrorail, Metrobus, and the DC Circulator bus system. The project site is also served by a pedestrian network consisting of sidewalks and crosswalks along the streets surrounding the project site. Additionally, the site is served by an on-street bicycle network, consisting of bike lanes, shared lanes, and signed bicycle routes. Transit The development is well-served by numerous public transit options in close proximity to the site. Local transit services that provide access to the 5 Thomas Circle site include Metrorail, Metrobus, and the DC Circulator. These services are operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and DDOT. WMATA operates Metrorail, the nation’s second largest heavy rail transit system, as well as Metrobus, the nation's fifth largest bus network. DDOT and WMATA collaborate to operate the DC Circulator, a system of six (6) bus lines that provide frequent service and low fares throughout the city. The McPherson Square Metrorail Station is located 0.3 miles from the development and is served by the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines, which provide direct connections to areas in the District, Maryland, and Virginia. The Blue Line travels north from Springfield, VA to Rosslyn then continues east to Largo, MD. Trains run approximately every 12 minutes during the morning and afternoon peak periods. They run about every 12 minutes during weekday non-peak periods, every 20 minutes on weekday evenings after 9:30 PM, and every 12-20 minutes on weekends. The Orange Line travels east from Fairfax, VA to New Carrollton, MD. Trains run approximately every 6 minutes during the morning and afternoon peak periods. They run about every 12 minutes during weekday non-peak periods, every 20 minutes during weekday evenings after 9:30pm, and every 12-20 minutes on weekends. The Silver Line travels east from Reston, VA to Largo, MD. Trains run approximately every 6 minutes during the morning and afternoon peak periods, every 12 minutes during weekday non-peak periods, every 20 minutes during weekday evenings after 9:30 PM, and every 12-20 minutes on weekends.

  • Budget Letter
    February 28, 2019 The Honorable Muriel Bowser Mayor of the District of Columbia 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 300 Washington, DC 20002 Re: Fiscal Year 2020 Budget Proposal Dear Mayor Bowser: As you prepare your Fiscal Year 2020 (“FY20”) proposed budget, I would like to highlight a few Ward 5 priorities and request that you consider funding them in FY20. Last year, your Fair Shot budget made critical investments essential to Ward 5 residents such as supporting $20 million in funding for a new Lamond-Riggs library; $500,000 for new Main Streets and Clean Teams along South Dakota/Riggs Road and Bladensburg; and $300,000 for the design and creation of a statue of native Washingtonian and civil rights leader, Charles Hamilton Houston. Our Ward 5 FY20 budget is about making the District equitable and inclusive for all. From investing in affordable housing to keep residents in their homes to expanding behavioral health and trauma informed services, together, our Ward 5 FY20 budget requests moves the District towards real achievable and equitable results. Further, our Ward 5 budget represents feedback gathered from residents during my Ward 5 Budget Engagement Forum, and consideration of over 300 hours of Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) and civic association meetings. 1. Affordable Housing Affordable housing remains one of the highest priorities of Ward 5 residents. With your leadership and the support of the Council, we have made critical investments in the Housing Production Trust Fund, adjusted amounts for HPAP, and other important steps to ensure housing affordability. However, the Washington Post just reported that “[i]ncome inequality is rising so fast… that data can’t keep up”.

  • Statement of Compliance Application of The
    STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE APPLICATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, REPRESENTED BY THE AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY 1601 Massachusetts Avenue, NW (Square 181, Lot 162) 1. Introduction The Commonwealth of Australia, represented by the Australian Embassy, Washington DC (the “Embassy” or the “Applicant”), proposes to remove the existing Australian chancery building at 1601 Massachusetts Avenue, NW (Square 181, Lot 162) and replace it with a new chancery building.1 The building will contain chancery office space, conference and meeting rooms, consular services, and accessory space. The replacement chancery building’s height, density, and lot occupancy will be generally consistent with that of the existing chancery building. As further detailed below, Foreign Missions Board of Zoning Adjustment (“FMBZA”) review is required for the proposed replacement chancery. The FMBZA has exclusive jurisdiction to review the proposed project pursuant to Section 206 of the Foreign Missions Act (22 USC § 4306) (the “Act”) and Subtitle X, Chapter 2 of the 2016 Zoning Regulations (“DCMR 11”), including public space approval and historic preservation approval pursuant to 11X DCMR §§ 201.8 and 203.7. The Act makes it clear that provisions of law other than the Act "shall apply to chanceries only to the extent that they are consistent with this section." 22 USC § 4306(j). Further, "[N]o act of any Federal agency shall be effective to confer or deny any benefit with respect to any foreign mission contrary to this Chapter." 22 USC § 4307. The final determination made by the FMBZA concerning the location, replacement or expansion of a chancery “shall not be subject to 1 “Chancery” is defined in the Zoning Regulations and in the Foreign Missions Act as “[t]he principal offices of a foreign mission used for diplomatic or related purposes, and annexes to such offices (including ancillary offices and support facilities), including the site and any building on such site that is used for such purposes.” 11B DCMR § 100.2; 22 USC § 4302.

    S H A W H I S T O R I C D I S T R I C T S H A W H I S T O R I C D I S T R I C T Unlike many of Washington’s neighborhoods, Shaw was not fashioned by developers who built strings of nearly identical rowhouses. Rather, Shaw was settled by individuals who constructed their own single dwellings of frame and brick, which were later infilled with small rows of developer-built speculative housing. Originally Shaw was in a part of the District called the Northern Liberties, north of the line where livestock were required to be penned and so were able to roam freely. Initially an ethnically and economically diverse neighborhood, Shaw was home to European immigrants and free African Americans, and, during and after the Civil War, increasing numbers of southern Freedmen flooding to cities in search of work. The name Shaw came into use in the mid-20th century to define the area around Shaw Junior High School, which was named for Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, leader of the all-black 54th Massachusetts Regiment. The brick residence at 1243 10th Street, built c. 1850, reflects typical early masonry construction in Shaw. HPO Photo. The Shaw neighborhood developed primarily along 7th Street, which was part of L’Enfant’s plan for the city and extended as far north as Boundary Street (now Florida Avenue). Beyond that, 7th Street became a toll road leading north from the District into the farmlands of Montgomery County. This turnpike provided Maryland farmers with direct access to the markets and wharves of the city and, after it was paved in 1818, became one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares.

It extends from Glover Archbold Park on the west to North Capitol Street on the east. Its northern boundary is formed by Whitehaven Parkway west of Rock Creek, and by Connecticut Avenue, U Street, and Florida Avenue east of Rock Creek. The southern boundary is formed by the Potomac River, the Central Employment Area, and New York Avenue (east of 7th Street). These boundaries are shown on the Map at left. Most of this area has historically been Ward 2, although in past and present times parts have also been included in Wards 1, and 5, and 6. 2100.1 2100.2 Near Northwest is known for its historic architecture, well-established neighborhoods, lively shopping areas, and nationally recognized institutions. These features provide enduring reminders of the city’s growth, from the 18th century to today’s international city. The Georgetown Historic District, established in 1950 in response to the demolition of large numbers of waterfront and canal-related historic buildings, was the first historic district established in the city.

In addition, over the next two-year CIP cycle, Council staff recommends that DOT reevaluate whether the criteria for these two programs be revised or to scrap the programs altogether, and to bring its recommendations to the Council. However, at the worksession Council staff did not receive the Committee's recommendation. Council staff has requested certain short briefings as part of this worksession, noted in italics in this staff report.

  • Logan Circle Heritage Trail
    A Fitting Tribute LOGAN CIRCLE HERITAGE TRAIL Th e 170s mansions of Union Army leaders gave this neighborhood its original elegance. Later, its proximity to Howard University brought well-heeled African American families. Th ough urban ills eventually drove many residents away, those who remained were joined by newcomers in the 1970s to begin a new chapter. Walk their history as you explore Logan Circle. Welcome. General John A. Logan, rendered in bronze in Logan Circle’s center, could tell a tale or two. The elegant mansions around the park rose soon after the Civil War. Later, housing shortages and neighborhood decline turned them to rooming houses and even brothels. But today they shine again. Prosperity has also returned to 14th Street. Once notorious for its “ladies of the night,” it now bustles with theater- and restaurant-goers. Follow A Fitting Tribute: Logan Circle Heritage Trail to explore the neighborhood’s transformation.
