The DC Zoning Commission set down two “build first” developments for Lincoln Heights/Richardson Dwellings in June. Providence Place, which will have 100 units – 35 replacement and 65 affordable – was set down on June 12th. The Strand Development, which will have 86 units – 28 replacement and 58 affordable – was set down on June 26th. Hearings will follow, likely in the fall. The applications can be viewed here:
On June 28th DMPED presented to the DCHA Board of Commissioners about the subsidies – both capital and operating – needed to support NCI’s development pipeline. In 2015, NCI began working to project its full pipeline – all of the onsite and offsite development needed to complete the NCI neighborhoods adhering as closely as possible to the four core NCI principles – along with timeline and cost projections. A 2014 policy report recommended that NCI do this work, which had not been done to date. Specifically, the report recommended exploring using different operating subsidies instead of ACC (Annual Contributions Contract), the typical public housing subsidy. DMPED’s presentation to the board provides an overview of the work done to date to fully project NCI’s pipeline, and the impact to the project of using Project-Based Vouchers rather than ACC. The presentation can be viewed HERE.
The Warrenton Group filed a PUD application, Case number 17-10, with the Zoning Commission for the Strand Theater project and adjacent parcels. The proposed development program will transform the vacant Strand Theater and adjoining parcels into approximately 9,000 square feet of commercial space, including two ground floor retail bays, a small business incubator, additional community space, related parking, and 86 units of affordable housing at or below 60% of the Area Median Income, of which, approximately 28 units will be public housing replacement units prioritized for Lincoln Heights and/or Richardson Dwellings residents. The application can be viewed here:
