Council Chairman Phil Mendelson announces the scheduling of a public roundtable of the
Committee of Whole on PR 20-1103, the “Mid City East Small Area Plan Approval Resolution of
2014.” The roundtable will be held Wednesday, November 5, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. in the Council
Chamber of the John A. Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. This notice has been
revised to reflect a new date and time.
       
The stated purpose of PR 20-1103 is to approve the proposed Mid City East Small Area Plan
(SAP). The SAP was initiated by the Office of Planning in February 2013, a draft was made public
on July 7, 2014, and a Mayoral hearing was held on July 29, 2014. The purpose of the SAP is to
provide a framework for conservation, development, sustainability, and connectivity in the
Bates/Truxton Circle, Bloomingdale, Eckington, Hanover, LeDroit Park, and Sursum Corda
neighborhoods, including portions of Edgewood and Stronghold. The Plan is based on the following
core themes: neighborhood character; commercial revitalization; redevelopment opportunities and
housing; neighborhood placemaking and public realm; parks, green space, and stormwater; and
connectivity. Once approved, the SAP will provide guidance to the Zoning Commission and other
District agencies in carrying out the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
         
Those who wish to testify are asked to telephone the Committee of the Whole, at
(202) 724-8196, or e-mail Jessica Jacobs, Legislative Counsel, at jjacobs@dccouncil.us and provide
their name, address, telephone number, and organizational affiliation, if any, by the close of business
Monday, November 3, 2014. Persons wishing to testify are encouraged, but not required, to submit

testimony to five minutes; less time will be allowed if there are a large number of witnesses. A copy
