Council Chairman Phil Mendelson announces the scheduling of a public roundtable of the

Committee of Whole on PR 20-1103, the “Mid City East Small Area Plan Approval Resolution of

2014.” The roundtable will be held Wednesday, November 5, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. in the Council

Chamber of the John A. Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. This notice has been

revised to reflect a new date and time.

The stated purpose of PR 20-1103 is to approve the proposed Mid City East Small Area Plan

(SAP). The SAP was initiated by the Office of Planning in February 2013, a draft was made public

on July 7, 2014, and a Mayoral hearing was held on July 29, 2014. The purpose of the SAP is to

provide a framework for conservation, development, sustainability, and connectivity in the

Bates/Truxton Circle, Bloomingdale, Eckington, Hanover, LeDroit Park, and Sursum Corda

neighborhoods, including portions of Edgewood and Stronghold. The Plan is based on the following

core themes: neighborhood character; commercial revitalization; redevelopment opportunities and

housing; neighborhood placemaking and public realm; parks, green space, and stormwater; and

connectivity. Once approved, the SAP will provide guidance to the Zoning Commission and other

District agencies in carrying out the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

Those who wish to testify are asked to telephone the Committee of the Whole, at

(202) 724-8196, or e-mail Jessica Jacobs, Legislative Counsel, at jjacobs@dccouncil.us and provide

their name, address, telephone number, and organizational affiliation, if any, by the close of business

Monday, November 3, 2014. Persons wishing to testify are encouraged, but not required, to submit

15 copies of written testimony. If submitted by the close of business on November 3, 2014, the

testimony will be distributed to Councilmembers before the roundtable. Witnesses should limit their

testimony to five minutes; less time will be allowed if there are a large number of witnesses. A copy

of PR 20-1103 can be obtained through the Legislative Services Division of the Secretary of the

Council’s office or on http://lims.dccouncil.us.

If you are unable to testify at the roundtable, written statements are encouraged and will be

made a part of the official record. Copies of written statements should be submitted to the

Committee of the Whole, Council of the District of Columbia, Suite 410 of the John A. Wilson

Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20004. The record will close at 5:00

p.m. on Monday, November 17, 2014.
