  • 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.

This worksession will include a review of mass transit and pedestrian facilities/bikeways projects, and Facility Planning-Transportation.

PRELIMINARIES A clarification is requested regarding the February 27 worksession. The Executive did not include PDFs for the Highway Noise Abatement and Dedicated but Unmaintained Roads projects in his Recommended FY21-26 CIP. Council staff had recommended retaining these PDFs in the CIP, but not showing funding within the six-year period. 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.

  • District of Columbia: 42, 43, 74, S2, S4, S9
    DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 2019 Metrobus State of Good Operations ROUTES 42, 43 – MOUNT PLEASANT LINE BUDGET • Cost neutral PROPOSED CHANGE • During most off-peak periods (weekdays, middays and evenings; Saturdays; and Sunday mornings and afternoons), operate every-other trip as Route 43. These trips will connect Gallery Place and Mount Pleasant, operating under Dupont Circle. They will alternate with Route 42 trips serving Dupont Circle. Route 42 only would continue to operate early mornings and late nights daily, and evenings on Sundays. • Adjust the schedule to reflect traffic conditions and improve on-time performance and service reliability. • Eliminate the last round trip on weekday, Saturday and Sunday late nights due to low ridership. REASON FOR CHANGE • Respond to customer suggestions and public feedback: o This service plan was recommended in the Metrobus Service Evaluation Study: Mount Pleasant Line: 42, 43 and Connecticut Avenue Line: L1, L2 from October 2018. • Operating more trips under Dupont Circle will avoid congestion and provide faster travel time for passengers continuing past Dupont Circle in each direction. • Red Line connections will be maintained at Dupont Circle Metrorail Station on Route 42 and at Farragut North Metrorail Station on routes 42 and 43. • Adjust running time to provide a more realistic schedule and improve on-time performance and service reliability, with the goal of reaching at least 80% on-time performance in all time-periods. Recent on-time performance for the line is outlined below: December 2018-June

    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.
