Season’s greetings from the DC Office of Planning. 

Not long ago, you received information regarding a series of community meetings being held to discuss the ongoing Zoning Regulations Review process.  We would like to thank all of you who were able to attend one, or more, of the first three meetings, held in December.  Below, please find a list of the dates, times, and locations for the remaining five meetings, being held in January, 2013:

Saturday, January 5, 2013, 10:00 A.M. – 12:00 noon (Ward 1)

Tuesday, January 8, 2013, 6:30 P.M. – 8:30 P.M. (Ward 3)

Wednesday, January 9, 2013, 6:30 P.M. – 8:30 P.M. (Ward 5)

Saturday, January 12, 2013, 10:00 A.M. – 12:00 noon (Ward 7)

Wednesday, January 16, 2013, 6:30 P.M. – 8:30 P.M. (Ward 4)

The community meetings are open to everyone.  We will present the same information in each of the meetings, so you can attend the one that is most convenient for you.  We will describe the process to date, present the draft proposals, and solicit and listen to community feedback.  We remain open to making additional changes to the draft proposals, based on your comments, before they are taken to the Zoning Commission for consideration at public hearings.   For most of us,  zoning is not a normal topic of discussion, but it is an important one, so please plan to attend. 

Copies of the draft proposed text are available on our website-  www.DCZoningUpdate.org, with links from our blogsite -  www.ZoningDC.org, and a paper copy is also available for viewing at the Office of Planning (address below) and at the following libraries:
