Zoning commission approves map amendment for Northwest 1 Phase 3, enabling final phase of mixed-income housing
Loading...
Summary
The commission approved a map amendment (Square 621) for the Northwest 1 Phase 3 redevelopment, a final-phase 10‑story building and part of a project that will yield approximately 665 mixed‑income units under IZ Plus requirements; the vote was 4–0–1 (Commissioner Stidham not participating).
Commissioner Wright presented final action for zoning commission case 25-02 (Northwest 1 Phase 3 map amendment at Square 621). She described the project as the third and final phase in a multi-phase redevelopment along North Capitol Street NE, noting it will allow replacement units for the former Temple Court apartments and add mixed-income multifamily housing.
Staff said NCPC reviewed the map amendment and concluded it would not be inconsistent with federal elements of the comp plan (Exhibit 31). Commissioner Wright said the final phase includes a 10‑story building and, when completed, the redevelopment would total roughly 665 mixed‑income residential units, including Temple Court replacement units. She moved approval; the motion was seconded and the roll-call vote approved final action 4–0–1 (Commissioner Stidham did not participate). A summary order was considered appropriate.
Commissioners noted IZ Plus designation will apply and that several agencies (GSA, HSEMA) provided letters of support or conditional support (HSEMA requested a site-specific evacuation plan).
