Saint Martins Zoning Variance Hearing.

st. Martin's Apartments Zoning Variance Hearing Tomorrow Night, Monday, 1/29/2007


Tomorrow night at 6:30 pm is the zoning hearing for the upzoning of the large lot in Eckington across from McKinley Tech from R-4 to R-5-B.

The zoning classifications are described here:
[dcra.dc.gov/dcra/lib/dcra/information/homeowners_center/can_build_it.pdf]

It is likely that no official decision will be made at the end of the hearing because there is some opposition towards the zoning variance request.



Here is the announcement from the Office of Zoning website, dcoz.dc.gov:
