The Board found the concept to combine lots and for a partial third floor and rear addition at 302 and 304 Florida Avenue NW to be compatible with the historic landmark and consistent with the purposes of the preservation act, and delegate final approval to staff, on the condition that the roof deck be substantially reduced in terms of visibility from the east and south.
