The Zoning Commission set down (5–0) a modification with hearing for the Wharf Phase 3 pavilion at M Street Landing (Z.C. Case 11‑03N, Square 473), classifying the matter as a contested case and limiting the set‑down to the pavilion. Office of Planning recommended set‑down, finding the already‑constructed building consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and original PUD intent, and OP said it would provide a more detailed analysis before the hearing.

Commissioners noted prior consideration of a related pavilion in case 11‑03M and said public input will be important; Commissioner Miller noted a cooperative agreement had been entered with the ANC concerning hours, noise and operations and encouraged continued engagement. The commission directed that the set‑down proceed to a limited‑scope public hearing to hear community comments on the pavilion’s design, operations and any outstanding consistency or use questions.

Outcome: Set down as contested case (limited scope) by roll call 5–0. OP will provide a detailed analysis in advance of the hearing and the commission will solicit public testimony at the hearing.
