HISTORIC PRESERVATION
OFFICE
MONTHLY PUBLIC NOTICE
April 2018
Issued by email on
April 10, 2018
PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE
This notice is the
official monthly announcement by the District of Columbia’s Historic
Preservation Office (HPO) of pending matters of public interest. It
includes items related to preservation planning, designation of historic
landmarks and historic districts, and project reviews before the Historic
Preservation Review Board (HPRB) and U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA).
KINGMAN PARK HISTORIC
DISTRICT UPDATE
The continuation of
the January 25, 2018 hearing on the proposed Kingman Park Historic District
(all properties between East Capitol, 19th and M Streets NE and Maryland Avenue
NE and the Anacostia River, Case 16-19) will be held on April 26, 2018.
Affected ANCs: 5D, 6A and 7D.
SUSTAINABILITY
GUIDELINES FOR HISTORIC PROPERTY
Draft sustainability
guidelines for existing and historic properties have been prepared by the DC
Department of Energy Environment (DDOE) in consultation with HPO. The
draft guidelines will be scheduled for consideration by the HPRB at the May 24,
2018 meeting and are available at (https://planning.dc.gov/node/1314201)
. Comments or questions are appreciated by May 7, 2018 and can be directed to historic.preservation@dc.gov.
NOTICE TO ADVISORY
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMISSIONS
HPO and HPRB welcome
and encourage Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) participation in the
historic preservation review process. HPRB gives great weight to duly
adopted written ANC views on matters of significance to neighborhood planning and
development.
How Affected ANCs
Should Use this Notice
This is an initial
notice to ANCs of construction projects recently filed for HPRB review.
Projects are identified by address and ANC area where the address is
located. Upcoming historic designation hearings are also listed,
supplementing the separate notice letters mailed to ANCs.
HPRB regulations are
designed to allow ANCs to identify projects they believe are significant to
neighborhood planning and development. ANCs can request project
submissions and applicant contact information from the assigned HPO staff
person listed on this notice.
The historic
preservation regulations encourage, but do not require, applicants to contact
the affected ANC to present their projects and to resolve any public concerns
before HPRB review. If an ANC is interested in a project listed on this
notice, but has not yet been contacted by the applicant, the ANC is encouraged
to arrange for an ANC review directly with the applicant.
Longer Notice Period
for Cases Undergoing ANC Review
HPO gives notice
according to rules designed to balance the interests of project applicants and
ANCs. If HPO is already aware of ANC interest in a project, the case is
listed on two successive monthly notices in order to ensure a minimum notice to
the affected ANC of 45 days (or 30 working days, whichever is longer).
This means that when these cases first appear on this notice, they are
scheduled for the HPRB meeting at the end of the following month.
HPO asks affected ANCs
for help in identifying any other projects on this notice that they want to
review at a public meeting. Upon notification, HPO will ensure that the
affected ANC receives a minimum 45-day notice of those cases. ANCs may identify
an interest in reviewing any or all cases that affect their area.
For those cases that
affected ANCs do not need to consider at a public meeting, HPO will proceed
with review for possible consideration at this month’s HPRB meeting. The
shorter notice allows the application to proceed without unnecessary delay to
the applicant or burden to the ANC.
How to Ensure
Consideration of ANC Views
ANCs should first
identify those cases on this notice they want to review. ANCs should feel
free to contact the assigned HPO staff person for information about any
case. ANCs should also contact HPO in writing to request an extended
notice for those cases the ANC wants to review at a public meeting.
Requests are granted automatically and may be made by email to the assigned
staff person or to historic.preservation@dc.gov.
Requests should be made as soon as possible, but no later than two days before
the upcoming HPRB meeting. ANCs do not need to contact HPO about projects
that are already scheduled to allow a 45-day review period, or that they have
already reviewed.
How to Submit ANC
Comments
For ANC comments to
receive great weight, they must be adopted by ANC vote at a duly noticed public
meeting. ANC comments may be in resolution or letter format, and should
be submitted within the 45-day review period. Comments should relate to
HPRB’s area of jurisdiction, state the vote taken, and articulate the basis for
the ANC recommendations.
Any ANC commissioner
is welcome to participate in HPRB meetings as an individual, but only the duly
adopted official comments of the ANC receive great weight.
GENERAL AVAILABILITY
OF PUBLIC INFORMATION
The applications
listed on this notice and their associated materials are a matter of public
record. Case files are open for public review at the Historic
Preservation Office during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 9 am
