The OP has been making plans to implement upzoning along Connecticut Avenue in Cleveland Park and Woodley Park, based on its Connecticut Avenue Development Guidelines, published in 2023.
CPHS commented on OP's Development Guidelines during public deliberations and produced a set of design guidelines (available on our website) focused on protecting the integrity of Cleveland Park's historic commercial district while accommodating potential development of greater infill. The OP's Historic Preservation Office posted the guidelines on its website.
During the ANC 3C's November 18, 2024, meeting, Joel Lawson, associate OP director, explained the basic implementation process, which could result in zoning changes in the two neighborhoods; this will include reengaging with community groups. Review and meetings will begin in 2025.
Key Development Areas
- Commercial Corridor - Connecticut Avenue from Macomb to Porter
- Residential Transition Zone - Areas adjacent to the commercial corridor
- Historic District Boundaries - Preserving character while allowing growth
