HPO staff report for 1626-1634-1644 North Capitol Street NW -- the "Maison Kesh" project -- recommends conditional approval to the HPRB

See this two-page HPO staff report for 1626-1634-1644 North Capitol Street NW -- HPA 20-344 -- in the Bloomingdale Historic District:

Recommendation

The HPO recommends that the Board find the subdivision and the height of the addition on top of 1648 North Capitol Street NW to be compatible with the historic district, advise the applicant to revise the design of the facades, and return to the Board for further review.

But wasn't there just a case before the HPRB that's the same project? 

There are TWO HPRB cases for the Maison Kesh project. The other case is HPA 20-288. It was a consent calendar item. The HPRB gave that case a thumbs up on Thursday, 06-25-2020.

This SECOND HPRB case -- HPA 20-288 -- is NOT a consent calendar item.

But you can see from the above HPO staff report that the HPO generally supports the subdivision of the lots and height of the addition on top of the Pub and the People building (1648 North Capitol Street NW).
