Department of General Services (DGS) to redevelop the eastern portion of 1201 New York Avenue NE with a 407‑bed emergency men’s shelter.

The Office of Planning recommended setting down the case. An OP representative described the proposal as a consolidated PUD and map amendment from RF‑1 to MU‑9 for Parcel 129, Lot 115, and said the redevelopment would include a 407‑bed shelter plus on‑site wraparound services intended to support occupants’ transitions to permanent housing. OP recommended flexibility to allow all on‑site parking spaces to be compact and to provide flexibility in loading berth sizes. OP said no development is currently proposed for the western portion of the site, which is occupied by the District’s animal shelter and would require relocation if the project advances.

Commissioners asked OP and the applicant to address several issues in the prehearing submissions and at the public hearing. Vice Chair Miller pointed out a discrepancy between OP’s mapping and the applicant’s materials: OP’s mapping shows a small sliver of the property in the Future Land Use Map’s moderate‑density residential designation and a portion in a neighborhood conservation area, while the applicant’s statement did not reference those designations. Miller asked the applicant and OP to explain in writing why the project would not be inconsistent with those designations or to identify policies that outweigh that designation. The commission asked for a fuller discussion of potential adverse impacts of a 407‑bed emergency men’s shelter and for justification if OP and the applicant conclude there are no adverse impacts.

Commissioners also requested confirmation of interagency coordination. Vice Chair Miller asked that the Department of Human Services (DHS), which oversees the District’s homelessness programs, provide written comments in the prehearing record or participate at the hearing. OP said DHS participation was not listed among referral responses in the report but indicated DHS would likely participate in the process.

Commissioner Wright asked for more information on the project’s architecture and design choices, noting the site’s visibility on New York Avenue and expressing interest in the architect attending the hearing to explain design decisions. Several commissioners reiterated that the mapping discrepancies, neighborhood conservation area designation, and potential impacts should be addressed in the prehearing filings.

Vice Chair Miller moved to set down Z.C. Case No. 24‑24, DGS consolidated PUD and related map amendment from RF‑1 to MU‑9 for 1201 New York Avenue NE (Parcel 129, Lot 115), as a contested case. The motion was seconded and passed by roll call, 4–0–1. The Office of Zoning recorded the vote and advised that prehearing submissions should respond to the mapping and impact questions raised by commissioners.

• Proposal: Consolidated PUD and related map amendment from RF‑1 to MU‑9 to redevelop eastern portion of site with a 407‑bed men’s shelter and ancillary wraparound services; western portion currently houses the animal shelter and is not proposed for development at this time.

The commission voted 4 to 0, with one member absent, to grant: a two-year extension for the Disabled American Veterans PUD to file a building permit; a one-year extension and a waiver of Subtitle Z §705.5 for Parkside Residential LLC for Parcel 9B; and a two-year extension for the FC Ballpark LLC project. Office of Zoning staff presented each request and the Office of Planning (OP) reported support for the extensions cited by staff.

Ella Ackerman of the Office of Zoning told the commission that the Disabled American Veterans applicant requested a two-year extension of the deadline to file a building permit from July 28, 2025, to July 28, 2027, citing an inability to secure a new development partner after an earlier partner exited on May 31, 2023. OP supported the extension; no Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) report was on the record for the case.

Ackerman said Parkside Residential LLC asked to extend the deadline to begin construction of Parcel 9B from March 23, 2025, to March 23, 2026, and requested a waiver of Subtitle Z §705.5 to permit a third time extension for an approved PUD. OP supported both the time-extension request and the waiver; no ANC report was on file. Staff noted the applicant may submit a draft order to memorialize the extension.

For FC Ballpark LLC, Ackerman said the applicant requested a two-year extension until March 31, 2027, for the first-stage modification and second-stage PUD approved in ZC Order No. 13O5E; OP supported the extension and no ANC report was included.

Motions to approve the extensions were moved and seconded on the record; roll-call votes recorded four votes in favor, zero opposed, and one commissioner not voting for each case. The record lists the tally as 4–0–1 for final action on the three cases; Commissioner Imamura was recorded as not present and therefore not voting.

Less substantive procedural remarks at the meeting noted that applicants may submit draft orders to the Office of Zoning and that staff will forward the approved motions for final action.
