NEWS: Effects of the zoning re-write for ANC 2B

The November 2013 Special Meeting Agenda of #ANC2B will be primarily about the zoning re-write. The special meeting will be tonight–Monday, Nov. 25th–7pm-8pm, located at the Public Citizen’s Headquarters on 1600 20th Street NW. Commissioners and members of the ZPD committee were given access to a report created by ANC 2B’s public policy intern. The report compared existing and future zoning designations in the ANC. “Impact of Zoning Rewrite” is the brief report, “New Zoning Designations” is an Excel spreadsheet comparison of the qualities of previous and proposed zoning resolutions. The three images at the bottom of the post identify current zoning and can be matched with proposed zoning and current qualities in the Excel spreadsheet “New Zoning Designations.”
