Bloomingdale part of area considered for height increase

See this tweet from Bloomingdame:

At a Height modeling meeting. So is outside l'Enfant city, within topographic bowl.?
 
 
Yup, it DOES look like the "areas considered for height increase" would include Bloomingdale, LeDroit Park, U Street, Eckington and NoMa.

Scott and anyone else interested:

This is the link to see all of the models. The above board is Approach 3B. I asked about LeDroit Park - seems like it would be excluded as an Historic District. They presented another map that shows excluded areas, but they don't seem to have layered all of the maps.

You can click on the pictures and leave post-it comments.

Thanks for clarifying that the map that you tweeted is not the one (and only) proposed model -- other models do exist.
