Results of Jam Doung Decision Hearing

I attended the Jam Doung BZA decision Hearing today. In a surprise move, the Board rejected the Office of Planning’s recommendation (I. E. Approval of only the ground floor for use by Jam Doung). 

By a vote of 3 to 1 , BZA approved the applicant’s application as submitted (with 2 floors,), citing evidence provided by the applicant of prior commercial use of the 2nd floor and strong ANC5E support. This decision was accompanied by a proviso:   

1) owners, neighbors, and the ANC in consultation with OP develop a joint agreement related to strategies for addressing perceived adverse impacts — to be submitted by Applicant to  BZA  by Feb. 25;

2) OP to develop a 2nd Supplemental Report to be submitted by March 4;

3) BZA to hold a ‘special limited scope hearing’ focused on the Agreement and its incorporation into its final Decision.

Keep tuned for more info — especially the date and time of a meeting of Jam Doung owners and neighbors.
