Although many initially discounted the appeal, apparently the DC Attorney General (which represented the Zoning Commission) in its brief basically conceded the case to the various appellants. Thus, the odds that the court will throw out the PUD and send the whole thing to the BZA (because, the appellants say, the zoning overlay at the site requires a special exception) are increasing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-5784534591992410692011-07-14T08:59:03.850-04:002011-07-14T08:59:03.850-04:00more likely more smoke and mirrors to get out from...more likely more smoke and mirrors to get out from under the vacant property tax rate.

It's boom times on the Wisconsin Avenue corridor with this proposal, the development of the site next to the Western Union tower across Wisconsin Avenue, the Tenley library (even if it didn't include the residential part as a public-private partnership), the relocation of the American U. law school to the Tenley Circle campus, and construction soon to begin on the Giant/Cathedral Commons development.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-51204632492697034752011-07-13T11:04:50.076-04:002011-07-13T11:04:50.076-04:00This is great news.
