Nate Moore of Moore Construction Group and Alyssa Gorman presented the proposal to align the rear elevation with adjacent properties and to add interior living space. Joshua Mitchell of the Office of Planning told the board OP supports the application. Moore said the lot is smaller than neighboring lots, which creates the practical difficulties underlying the area‑variance request and leads to a proposed lot occupancy of about 73.5 percent; the applicant’s plan also slightly reduces pervious surface area.

A member of the public, who had signed up to speak, said her concerns were answered during the hearing and declined to testify. The board gave substantial weight to OP’s recommendation and to ANC 2A’s support. Chairman Fred Hill said the application shows a practical difficulty because the lot is smaller than neighboring lots and that the proposed addition helps make the block more uniform. The board took a roll call vote and the secretary recorded the decision as 4–0–1 in favor of approval.

The BZA will issue its order and any necessary conditions; the applicant may proceed to apply for building permits consistent with the approved scope.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BZA Public Meeting & Hearing of July 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board approved an application by MILU Properties LLC to build a two‑story rear addition at 2413 I Street NW, granting special exceptions and an area variance for lot‑occupancy issues; ANC 2A and the Office of Planning supported the proposal.","taxTitle","Office of Zoning, Agencies, Organizations, Executive, District of Columbia","taxId",15857,"location","","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":72,"_74":72},6168283,"BZA continues case after accepting supplemental shadow study for rear‑addition at 515 20 First St. NE",733,6797000,7530000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5408269-b6b13b3c4e16b7921774583480537701&start=6797&end=7530","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5408269-b6b13b3c4e16b7921774583480537701/thumbnail_6797000.jpg","/articles/6168283/BZA-continues-case-after-accepting-supplemental-shadow-study-for-rearaddition-at-515-20-First-St-NE","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168283-b5c2192ccdb566ac27fbd9229199c2cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770481351&Signature=JgtwBqpm0nFXwcWqA7ags7sD5G9IQ~NFW9fIUvpwm0HH9vp6liURY07drsPvQfu8PqIawqH3cLDoYkqS5IsIYpSjIhSCBxXR-GFiyMqYaSj3Z7UC~2sRXa5Ml9n1vTYguIvqjUbwFILqY7qiyBnqKr9HUPnAVMOA4oDRHrJ7CXR0~EtYJtwvmHdQWvbUerl7LKzedH1bBRHcsMSen3fvG3Yck-D1QVr5wC1ecl2pZbyVgRIF-v~wagc2QMw5gnZlU5MJzJVWfmMLD2eIu9j6NeszKub-y38dXucR2Aw0Ds-g2LXtuvkjDdkX1kI9n~MKWNJ1B~iQ~0hQqEqmTKwJ4g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Adjustment accepted a late filing of a supplemental shadow study and continued the hearing on application 21316, a request by Sadee Nam for a two‑story rear addition to an existing row dwelling at 515 20 First Street NE that exceeds the 10‑foot extension limit in Subtitle E.

Attorney Anthony Rochelle and architect Scott Willett presented the case. Willett told the board the as‑built rear extension measures 15 feet, 2.5 inches—about 4 feet, 2.5 inches more than the originally permitted 11‑foot extension—and the applicant submitted shadow studies in response to ANC requests. Willett summarized the materials to the board, saying the as‑built condition “is now 15 feet, 2 and a half inches,” and described shadow‑study results comparing the permitted and as‑built conditions across equinoxes and solstices.

Crystal Myers of the Office of Planning said OP recommends support and stood on its staff report. There was no registered opposition on the record. Board members asked for clarity about egress from a second‑floor rear door: several noted the plan requires a landing and stairs and asked whether a permit for that work is pending. The applicant said a landing would be added to allow the door to function and that the permit would follow after relief is granted.

Board members said they needed a clear plan of the proposed landing/stairs rather than an oral description. Vice Chair Carl Blake and Board Member Kershawn Smith asked the applicant to file drawings showing the exact stoop/landing dimensions and location so the board could be sure the final construction aligns with zoning limits for lot coverage. The board continued the hearing and instructed the applicant to provide the additional drawings and confirmed the supplemental shadow study (Exhibit 29) was entered into the record.

The board scheduled a continued hearing for July 23 at 9:30 a.m.; the record remains open for the limited purpose of receiving the landing/stair drawings and related details.","The board accepted a late supplemental shadow study for application 21316, which requests a two‑story rear addition that exceeds the 10‑foot extension standard for row dwellings.

Zach Williams, counsel for the applicant, said the project will add 13 units to four existing four‑unit buildings for a total of 29 units and will use an IZ FAR bonus. He told the board that the site has no practical alley access and that the city’s Department of Transportation would not permit piecemeal alley improvements or curb cuts. Williams called out multiple impediments: an unimproved paper alley, a steep grade where a curb cut would be needed and a 36‑inch heritage tree in the alley. “We do not have access at the rear of the property… DDOT is not willing to do that,” Williams said.

Because the project is an addition to existing buildings, the applicant’s required parking obligation was limited to the parking associated with the new floor area; zoning staff and the Zoning Administrator confirmed the requirement equals three spaces. The applicant said it cannot provide those spaces because alley access and curb‑cut work would require building an improved alley throughout the block, removal of a heritage tree, and extensive grading. The project team proposed a trash enclosure in the unimproved alley and a paved connection to a planned ADA ramp to W Street so private trash collection need not drag receptacles across grass.

Board members, the Office of Planning and ANC 3B reviewed shadow studies and outreach materials. OP recommended approval; Michael Jurkovich told the board, “OP recommends approval of the applicant’s requested areas relief.” Several board members pressed the applicant to provide a hard surface path from the trash enclosure to the W Street sidewalk; the applicant agreed during the hearing to add a paved connection and to include a welcome packet for new tenants explaining transit options and bike access. Zach Williams later confirmed the applicant would provide the welcome packet: “we're happy to do the welcome packet.”

At the close of deliberation the board approved the special exceptions and the parking relief by roll call. The secretary recorded the vote as 4–0–1 for application 21312. The board requested the revised site plan showing the ramp and pathway be included in the record (the applicant entered revised plans into the record as Exhibit 24). The BZA noted the applicant’s outreach and ANC support in the record; the applicant agreed to the nonbinding welcome‑packet commitment and to the revised site plans that connect the trash enclosure to the W Street ramp.","The Board approved a plan to consolidate four semi‑detached apartment houses into one 29‑unit building in the RA‑1 zone, granting a special exception for additional units and a waiver from vehicle‑parking requirements because rear alley access and curb cut construction were infeasible.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":72,"_74":72},6168292,"BZA approves small‑scale addition to add three units at 2622/40 First St. NW",764,2130000,2894000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5408269-b6b13b3c4e16b7921774583480537701&start=2130&end=2894","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5408269-b6b13b3c4e16b7921774583480537701/thumbnail_2130000.jpg","/articles/6168292/BZA-approves-smallscale-addition-to-add-three-units-at-262240-First-St-NW","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168292-fa10552fa1f7306c471c09c219d64fc2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770481351&Signature=PBXvWIEgYOpcHC9N9D8x3N4jChet6njGXdxwV5cBYEzgVmlc2Uok8Ru1zW24KstnzUAarCD~y9YsCje9mcMwhQLUFWYIo3acg2X83zdmdC6mDh6CZ5lcFDclsCrjowxyFrkgK1dsEfkTw36gjiEtj4ZH~bZ-aEr~p0Z4gBVSTC4v4Ic6QBq6n1VtrDdXBu2i7EdI8vKLJ~b54oIWSrKLya4OXegPA1hlMU8QWpuw9kUrzMZwzaTP0u-lhOz0pUsTkotKd25DEJwq9y7AROo0GpfDbY2ZZ7Ymt-zsA~ha5kYH~cUQnnWknHKkXbgaKjy~QYBNxgK1OuangjIaYoFBsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The District of Columbia Board of Zoning Adjustment approved application 21308 on July 16, permitting the addition of three dwelling units to an existing four‑unit apartment house at 262240 First Street NW (RA‑1 zone), increasing the building to seven units with a partial third‑story addition.

Zach Williams, attorney for the applicant, told the board the project would not change the building footprint, would keep the existing alley parking space and would meet all RA‑1 development standards other than the special‑exception requirement triggered by adding units. “We presented it, and then we went back for a vote. ANC 3B voted unanimously to support the project,” Williams said during his presentation.

The Office of Planning recommended approval after reviewing the application under Subtitle U and X standards; Michael Jurkovich of OP told the board OP “finds that the request meets the criteria for subtitles u and x. Therefore, OP recommends approval.” Board members said the project is compatible with the block’s existing apartment houses and noted shadow studies showed limited impact. Commissioner Gwen Wright said, “I think it’s a very clever way to add more housing, which we need, so much, in the city, particularly, I think in this neighborhood.”

Chairman Fred Hill moved to approve; Vice Chair Carl Blake seconded. The board took a roll call and the secretary recorded the vote as 4–0–1 in favor of approval. The order and conditions will be issued in the case record following the hearing.

This approval allows the applicant to proceed with interior renovations and the partial third‑story addition as described in the application; the project will return to permitting with the Office of Zoning and building permitting as required.","The Board of Zoning Adjustment approved a special exception to add three dwelling units to an existing four‑unit apartment house at a property in the RA‑1 zone after the Office of Planning and ANC 3B recommended approval.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":72,"_74":72},6168297,"BZA grants party status to neighbors opposing accessory-apartment plan at 3253 P St. NW",327,1664000,1991000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5408269-b6b13b3c4e16b7921774583480537701&start=1664&end=1991","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5408269-b6b13b3c4e16b7921774583480537701/thumbnail_1664000.jpg","/articles/6168297/BZA-grants-party-status-to-neighbors-opposing-accessory-apartment-plan-at-3253-P-St-NW","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168297-94faeb645498e20c2cccccf2978a3811/orig.mp4?Expires=1770481351&Signature=O7s0ht1xKbZDoum0k2H5HPa15favux4jfpL4ybyA0Hc7093tCUm1PRRRYJXWHXDXgyHR-8E5-9H9nzUSqyzWHgEXxB10x6tnc0~rYmKn3eJop0J2GShbZHgy5vV2Myp00AizCJnYFOazNKMnG-DhLdXPjPc5cABlyMCmWHkSxloMz-fFiyj8xFopYZquke-qS2fm21~0zkNSHSY0Q~2bQeKnLihIrceHI1udcptTmN1rIfDChqqySRiKoOkFVL4oeEHKHDxYol1IB0woFLkVeZdSNAuuegQ0995yT5eG2j3ghN1w2WvHTBUAx40Vm63cYooK6LoFt5zh7tOxthatDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The District of Columbia Board of Zoning Adjustment voted 4–0–1 on July 16 to grant party status to a group of nearby property owners opposing application 21325, a self‑certified request by CBJ Investments LLC to add a second‑story accessory apartment and modify a rear accessory building at 3253 P Street NW.

The board’s vote recognized a group of 10 property owners who authorized Andrea Furster to represent them for the upcoming hearing, which the chair said is scheduled for July 23. “I represent the 10 individuals, property owners who live within 200 feet of the property,” Andrea Furster said when introduced to the record.

The decision grants the neighbors the procedural right to oppose and present evidence at the scheduled hearing; it does not decide the merits of the zoning relief sought. Chairman Fred Hill made the motion to grant party status and noted the board prefers a single point‑person for groups of neighbors during hearings; Vice Chair Carl Blake seconded the motion. The secretary recorded the roll call as Chairman Hill — yes; Vice Chair Blake — yes; Board Member Kershawn Smith — yes; Commissioner Gwen Wright — yes. The board described the vote as 4 to 0 to 1 to grant party status.

Board members also advised the applicant to confirm that the applicant’s self‑certification form properly requests any waiver required under Subtitle U-253 and the related point‑10 waiver pathway ahead of next week’s hearing. Vice Chair Blake said staff should notify the applicant to address whether a waiver was requested in the self‑certification form.

The board closed the procedural action and left the underlying zoning request on the July 23 hearing docket. No substantive hearing or vote on the accessory‑apartment request occurred on July 16.

The board’s action was strictly on standing; any later votes on the application will be taken at the full hearing, where both the applicant and the new party in opposition may present evidence and testimony.","The Board of Zoning Adjustment granted party status to a group of nearby property owners opposing a CBJ Investments LLC application for an accessory apartment and accessory structure at 3253 P Street NW.
