The individuals in question have authorized CAG and BCA and its counsel to represent them in this proceeding, so all communications concerning any of these parties should be directed to the undersigned counsel and to the offices of CAG and BCA, who desire copies of all documents transmitted to counsel. I would also like to draw your attention to the request for time made by CAG and BCA which total 1 Yz hours. The parties need to explain to the Commission not only the new objectionable conditions that would be created by the proposed Georgetown University Campus Plan but also the existing objectionable conditions in their respective communities created by Georgetown University, which the Plan fails to mitigate, as required by law.

Finally, I request confirmation that the presentations to be made by CAG, BCA and any other parties in opposition, will be made on the second day of the Commission's scheduled hearings (May 12, 2011).

A list of witnesses who will testify on the person's behalf; 2. A summary of the testimony of each witness (Zoning Commission only); 3. An indication of which witnesses will be offered as expert witnesses, the areas of expertise in which any experts will be o~ed, and the resumes or qualifications of the proposed experts (Zoning Commission only); and 4. The total amount of time being requested to present your case (Zoning Commission only). PARTY STATUS CRITERIA: On a separate piece of paper, please answer all of the following questions referencing why the above entity should be granted party status: 1. How will the property owned or occupied by such person, or in which the person has an interest be affected by the actiol)fequested of the Commission/Board? .• !*'; 2. What legal interest does the person have in the property? (i.e. owner, tenant, trustee, or mortgagee) !''\.) 3. What is the distance between the person's property and the property that is the subject of the appeal or application before the Commission/Board? (Preferably no farther than 200ft.) 4. What are the environmental, economic or social impacts that are likely to affect the person and/or the person's property if the action requested of the Commission/Board is approved or denied? 5. Describe any other relevant matters that demonstrate how the person will likely be affected or aggrieved if the action requested of the Commission/Board is approved or denied. 6. Explain how the person's interest will be more significantly, distinctively, or uniquely affected in character or kind by the proposed zoning action than that of other persons in the general public. Except for the applicant, appellant or the ANC, to participate as a party in a proceeding before the Commission/Board, any affected person shall file with the Zoning Commission or Board of Zoning Adjustment, this Form 140 not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the date set for the hearing. PARTY STATUS CRITERIA 1. The Citizens Association of Georgetown ("CAG") represents over 1,200 individual members, all ofwhom are residents of Georgetown. Many ofCAG's members, including Barbara Downs, own property and live within a few blocks of Georgetown University ("GU") and would be directly and negatively affected by proposals and policies contained in the proposed GU Campus Plan. CAG is the sole civic association representing residents of Georgetown and it has been granted party status to represent the interests of its members in the last several GU Campus Plan proceedings. 2. The majority ofCAG's members own property in Georgetown, all regular members are residents of Georgetown. 3. Varies. See item 1 above. 4. If the GU Campus Plan were approved as filed it would have a negative impact on the quality oflife of all persons living in Georgetown, especially those living in West Georgetown as a result of unrestrained growth in student enrollment and development. Further, the plan in its current form could also adversely impact property values and the environment in West Georgetown. 5. The high numbers of Georgetown students residing in rented group houses in the single family residential areas of Georgetown is adversely affecting the livability of those neighborhoods due to the late night noise from the students and their visitors and other objectionable conditions including adverse traffic and parking impacts, trash violations, failure to maintain property, vandalism and intimidation of neighborhood. The University's failure to DC:455612.1 provide adequate on campus housing for its students is threatening the viability of West Georgetown as a residential neighborhood and creating objectionable conditions throughout Georgetown. 6. The residents of Georgetown are distinctly and uniquely affected by the proposed zoning action because it fails to mitigate the objectionable conditions created by the University and its students in Georgetown and threatens to make a bad situation even worse. CAG represents the interests of over 1200 resident of Georgetown. Accordingly at its meeting on January 25, 2011, the Board ofDirectors ofCAG authorized counsel to file this application to enable CAG to participate in this proceeding as an opponent of the proposed GU Campus Plan. DC:455612.1 2 Citizens Association of Georgetown Witness Information 1. Jennifer Altemus, President 2. Luca Pivato, Vice President 3. Cynthia Pantazis, Director and Chair ofCAG's GU Relation's Committee 4. Barbara Downs, Director Expert Witnesses 5. George Oberlander, expert on urban planning and development, D.C. zoning and planning policies (CV attached). 6. Joseph Mehra, expert on transportation planning, traffic engineering and parking (CV attached). Summary ofTestimony The CAG witnesses will describe the objectionable impacts on the Georgetown community caused by Georgetown University, the failure of the Campus Plan to mitigate those objectionable conditions, and why the proposed plan would exacerbate those objectionable impacts because of the proposed increases in enrollment, traffic and parking and other objectionable proposals. The witnesses will describe the adverse impacts caused by Georgetown University's housing policies and transportation plan, and the failure ofthe Off Campus Student Life Program to address adverse impacts of students living off campus in the community.

    AMERICASPEAKS ENGAGING CITIZEN VOICES IN GOVERNANCE Skyland Town Hall Meeting Report to the National Capital Revitalization Corporation November 13, 2004 Made Possible in part by a Grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation Summary Report of Proceedings District residents from Wards 7 and 8 came together on Saturday, November 13 to set priorities for the redevelopment of Skyland Shopping Center. Over the course of the five hour meeting, participants listened to presentations about the redevelopment process, discussed the retail mix of the future site, considered its look and feel, and discussed how the community could best take advantage of economic opportunities created by the redevelopment. When asked to evaluate the Town Meeting, 100 percent of participants said they had learned something from their participation in the Town Meeting. Eighty-four percent of participants rated the meeting as “excellent” or “good” (49 percent rating it as “excellent”.) Ninety-one percent of participants rated the use of technology at the Town Meeting as “excellent” or “good” (82 percent rating it as “excellent). Seventy percent of participants said they were “very unsatisfied” with the mix of stores currently at Skyland. Similarly, 66 percent of participants said they were “very unsatisfied” with the physical condition of Skyland and 63 percent said they were “very unsatisfied” with the level of safety there. The heart of the meeting was a discussion of the future retail mix for the new Skyland Shopping Center. Participants first considered the kinds of stores that they would like to see in the site. After prioritizing the kinds of stores to go on the site, they identified specific brands for each of the top categories.

The first node is adjacent to a small area of commercial-light manufacturing low bulk by the Overview Anacostia Freeway. Across the freeway to the This submarket east of the Anacostia River runs along Pennsylvania Avenue, one of the District’s west of the three nodes, Pennsylvania Avenue signature boulevards with direct access to Capitol Hill, the Anacostia Freeway, and the Capitol continues as a commercial corridor. Fort Dupont and Fort Davis Parks snake their way through the Beltway. It is anchored by 3 major nodes: L’Enfant Square, Branch Avenue, and Alabama largely residential area as a government-zoned Avenue. These nodes, which vary greatly in character, offer pockets of retail that serve the property. surrounding residences. Pedestrian access to this retail, as well as other community amenities such as parks, is currently limited because of Pennsylvania Avenue’s auto-oriented nature. Retail Opportunity 1 L’Enfant Square This node is overwhelmingly defined by the Anacostia Freeway. While proximity to the highway is an asset in many ways, it also makes this area unsuited for retail (other than existing highway-oriented NODE 3 retail like gas stations) at present.
