Hearing postponed for variance application at 1631 A Street SE; applicant to submit additional materials by July 11
Summary
The Board granted a postponement at the owner’s request for application No. 21303 (requested use variances to create two cellar units at 1631 A Street SE), setting a new hearing date of July 16 and asking the applicant to provide additional materials to the Office of Planning by July 11.
The Board of Zoning Adjustment accepted a request to postpone application No. 21303 on June 25. Beth Davis, appearing on behalf of the owner, asked for a postponement to allow newly retained counsel (Sullivan & Barros) to compile additional records and materials for the Office of Planning to review.
The application seeks variances to increase the number of dwelling units in an existing four‑unit apartment house at 1631 A Street SE by creating two additional cellar units (case captioned as a request under the transcript’s cited statute). The applicant requested the postponement so the Office of Planning would have sufficient time to review supplemental materials; the board and OP staff agreed to a schedule in which the applicant will submit materials by Friday, July 11, and the case will be heard on July 16, 2025.
Shepherd Beeman of the Office of Planning confirmed OP could review materials submitted by the July 11 deadline and return a report in time for the July 16 hearing. The board asked the applicant to confirm any changes with the ANC and to ensure the ANC sees any updated materials.
Next steps: applicant to file supplemental records by July 11, 2025; Office of Planning to prepare an updated staff report; the Board will re‑call the case on July 16, 2025.
