McMillan should be a go.
The D.C.
Court of Appeals released its decision Wednesday affirming the planned-unit
development decision issued by the D.C. Zoning Commission. The 25-acre project
— mixing nearly 1 million square feet of medical office, 531 apartments and a
52,000-square-foot Harris Teeter, 146 townhomes, additional retail and 8 acres
of park space — should be allowed to proceed.
This was the
second time Friends of McMillan Park and D.C. for Reasonable Development
appealed the PUD, in addition to other avenues it has taken to stop the project
from advancing. The first time, in 2016, the same court found in their favor,
and remanded the PUD back to the zoning commission. The commission reheard the
case, issued a fresh 96-page ruling, and the case was appealed again, essentially
leaving this $720 million, 2.1 million-square-foot development in a four-year
purgatory.
