  • Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site Management Plan
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior National Mall and Memorial Parks Washington, D.C. Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site Management Plan April 2014 To address planning needs for Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site (NHS), the National Mall and Memorial Parks (NAMA) had previously undertaken the preparation of an environmental assessment, which considered a range of alternatives for managing the NHS and their environmental impacts. In spring 2014 the National Park Service (NPS) determined that NAMA did not need to complete the environmental assessment because only management issues were being addressed and therefore the plan was not a major federal action. As a result, NAMA has prepared this Management Plan for Pennsylvania Avenue NHS, which is based on the “Draft Environmental Assessment.” This Management Plan document includes an introduction, a summary of planning, the context for the management plan (including the relationship of the NPS plan with the 1974 Pennsylvania Avenue Plan prepared by the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation, and the site’s purpose and significance), as well as the specific manage- ment actions. Background information about the Pennsylvania Avenue NHS Manage- ment Plan is provided at http://www.nps.gov/nationalmallplan/PennAve.html.

  • Washington, D.C
    Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, "the District", or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any U.S. state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the preexisting settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. Named in honor of George Washington, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia and created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District in 1871. Washington, D.C., had an estimated population of 646,449 in 2013, the 23rd most populous city in the United States. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's population to more than one million during the workweek. The Washington metropolitan area, of which the District is a part, has a population of 5.8 million, the seventh-largest metropolitan statistical area in the country. The centers of all three branches of the federal government of the United States are in the District, including the Congress, president, and Supreme Court. Washington is home to many national monuments and museums, which are primarily situated on or around the National Mall.

The memorial currently honors the service members who lost their lives in the service of the Second Division of the United States Army during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. The current design includes an eighteen-foot-high sculpture of a hand grasping a flaming sword that guards an architectural frame of granite. Panels with inscriptions recognize particular campaigns. The Second Division Memorial was dedicated on July 18, 1936. On August 15, 1957, Congress authorized an addition to the memorial to honor the Second Division members lost in World War II and the Korean War. On August 13, 2018, Congress authorized a modification to the memorial under the provisions of the Commemorative Works Act, to allow for recognition of soldiers who lost their lives while serving in Korea on the Demilitarized Zone from 1965-1991, Iraq from 2003-2010, and Afghanistan from 2009-2013.

INTRODUCTION Project Scope Elements related to Building Height In 2011, the County Board approved a scope of work for the study to address these issues related to Building Height: . Whether, and under what circumstances should new buildings be allowed to pierce the current 300 feet maximum in certain places (outside of Central Place)? .
