Cmmr Pinkney: decision by #ANC5E to promote a 51% community vote for Historic District designation was made by #ANC5E COW #BloomingdaleDC

For example: if 51% (or greater) of the homeowners of a given ANC5E community voted in support of neighborhood Historic District designation, then ANC5E would support that pursuit.

If 51% (or greater) of the homeowners in a given ANC5E community voted in opposition of neighborhood Historic District designation, then ANC5E would support that opposition.

If there is a vote in support or opposition and that vote is less than 51% of the homeowners of the given ANC5E community, then ANC5E would not add its support or opposition accordingly.
