The Zoning Commission recorded roll‑call approvals on multiple final actions and procedural items during its public meeting.
Final actions approved by the commission included:
- Zoning Commission case 24‑07, Skyland Place LLC — map amendment for squares 5734 and 5735. Commissioner Wright moved approval noting the applicant's relocation plan and on‑site/off‑site options for residents; the motion passed 4–0–1 with one commissioner not participating. Commissioner Wright said the applicant had identified nearby properties it owns "where additional temporary relocations" could be implemented to reduce disruption to residents.
- Zoning Commission case 24‑06, District of Columbia and Fletcher Johnson Community Partners LLC — map amendment for square 5344. The commission approved final action 5–0; the Office of Planning reported strong documented community outreach and no public testimony at the hearing.
- Zoning Commission case 23‑27, Office of Planning text and map amendments to create the Navy Yard East (NYE) zone. Commissioners discussed Committee of 100 comments and Office of Planning testimony on design review and compatibility. Commissioner Wright highlighted additional affordable housing requirements tied to low‑income housing tax credits and set‑asides for disabled veterans; the motion passed 4–0–1 (one commissioner not voting due to not having reviewed the record).
- Zoning Commission case 07‑21D, 2201 M Street NW (hotel signage) — modification without a hearing to allow existing non‑illuminated rooftop signage to remain, provided it is not illuminated. The commission approved the modification 5–0; Office of Planning recommended approval with the condition that the signage remain non‑illuminated.
The commission also set down a contested consolidated PUD and related map amendment: Zoning Commission case 24‑11, Jamal Shaffer LLC and Jamal Bumper George LLC (Square 4268). The Office of Planning recommended setting down the application for a consolidated PUD to rezone a portion of the subject property from MU‑5B to PDR‑1, and noted proposed streetscape improvements, a bike lane and benefits to the nearby community. The commission voted 5–0 to set down the case as contested for future hearing.
Roll calls and outcomes were recorded by Office of Zoning staff and are reflected in the official meeting record. The commission asked applicants to submit draft orders where appropriate and scheduled further processing and hearings as required by the zoning rules.
