LANDMARK DESIGNATION HEARING
Safeway Grocery Store, 4865 MacArthur Boulevard NW, Case 19-02.
The Board denied landmark designation of the Safeway Grocery Store as a historic landmark in the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites, finding that it does not meet the designation criteria. The Board also recommended that the nomination not be forwarded to the National Register of Historic Places with a recommendation for listing. Vote: 8-0.
BLOOMINGDALE HISTORIC DISTRICT
1600 North Capitol Street NW, HPA 19-154, concept/new construction, six-story residential building on vacant site.
The Board found the concept generally compatible with the character of the Bloomingdale Historic District, but that the design should be revised and simplified. The Board cited the central tower, the crown element, the colors of the materials (especially at the top two floors), and the overall busyness of the design as areas that should be evaluated for revision. The Chair recommended that the design continue to be refined in consultation with HPO and less than a quorum of the Board and return for further review when ready. Vote: 8-0.
CAPITOL HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT
224 C Street NE, HPA 19-107, concept/second-story garage addition.
The Board found the concept for an addition to a one-story garage to be compatible with the Capitol Hill Historic District, and delegated further review to staff. Vote: 8-0.

1313 11th Street NW, HPA 19-145, concept/renovation, addition, and partial fourth floor.
The case was deferred as the applicants were not present.
1128 10th Street NW, HPA 19-129, revised concept/new construction.
The Board found the revised concept to be compatible with the Shaw Historic District and delegated final approval to staff.

Vote: 7-0.
