Excerpt:

After the fourth and final hearing since the PUD application was filed last April (good background from DCMud here and here) the Zoning Commission decided to consider the application for proposed action on May 24th, and for final action on June 28th.
“We’ve been having meetings about this for many years, and we’re hoping for something very positive to come out of it,” said Commission chairman Anthony Hood, who seemed eager to make this hearing the last.

Before just a handful of members of the Hillcrest community, the development team—represented last night by Rappaport Companies and the W.C. Smith Company—made final rebuttals and wrapped up their case. Part of their presentation was a rundown of community benefits: A $5.2 million package, including enhancements to neighboring parks and libraries, support for the Ward 7 Arts Collaborative, build-out assistance for retailers, and funding for job training and housing counseling.
