ZONING REGULATION REVISIONS - COMMUNITY MEETING DATES FOR JANUARY
Season’s greetings from the DC Office of Planning. 

Thanks to everyone who attended one, or more, of the community meetings to discuss the Zoning Regulation Review (ZRR) process in December.  Many of you may have attended previous task force, working group, community, or ANC meetings to discuss this initiative over the last 4 years.   Below is a list of dates, times, and locations for the January 2013 series of five meetings to discuss the Zoning Regulations Review process.

The community meetings are open to everyone.  OP will present the same information in each of the meetings, so you can attend the one that is most convenient for you.  We will describe the process to date, present the draft proposals, and solicit and listen to community feedback.  We remain open to making additional changes to the draft proposals, based on your comments, before they are taken to the Zoning Commission for consideration at public hearings.   For most of us, zoning is not a normal topic of discussion, but it is an important one, so please plan to attend. 
                                                   
Copies of the draft proposed text are available on our website- www.DCZoningUpdate.org, with links from our blogsite - www.ZoningDC.org.  A paper copy of the draft is also available for viewing at the Office of Planning (address below) and at the following libraries:
