Summary

The Board of Zoning Adjustment postponed application 21330 for a proposed accessory structure at 1818 15th Street NW to Oct. 22 at the applicant's request to scale the project back and negotiate with neighbors.

The District of Columbia Board of Zoning Adjustment on July 30 postponed consideration of application 21330, filed by Paul Pike, to Oct. 22 at the applicant’s request. The applicant told the board he plans to scale the proposal back from a variance to a special exception and continue negotiations with a neighboring party in opposition.

The item concerns an accessory structure in the rear yard of an attached principal dwelling at 1818 15th Street NW in the RF‑1/DC zone. The applicant’s attorney, Marty Sullivan, told the board he and the neighbor are engaged in further discussions and that the Office of Planning’s report prompted redesign work. Counsel for the parties in opposition, Andrea Furster, said the opponents “support the postponement, and look forward to working constructively with the applicant to address our concerns.”

The board set the next available hearing date for Oct. 22 and accepted the applicant’s postponement motion into the record. No vote on the merits was taken. The board noted the applicant had received waivers and that any further late pleadings must be presented when the case is called on the new hearing date.
