August 2nd ZPD Committee Meeting Agenda

ANC 2B will hold our monthly Zoning, Preservation, and Development (ZPD) Committee meeting on Wednesday, August 2nd at 7:00 pm at the Dupont Circle Resource Center, 9 Dupont Circle NW.

The sole application for this meeting is an application to the Foreign Missions Board of Zoning Adjustment by the Commonwealth of Australian to renovate their existing embassy building at 1601 Massachusetts Ave NW. The application requests variances for Floor Area Ratio, Loading Berth Flexibility, Side Yard, and Height.

The application will also include historic preservation and public space review, as the Foreign Missions Board of Zoning Adjustment encompasses the functions of the Historic Preservation Review Board, the Board of Zoning Adjustment, the Zoning Commission, and the Public Space Committee for applications by foreign missions.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the above agenda items, please reach out to the single member district commissioner associated with the project and ZPD Chair Daniel Warwick.
