The Comprehensive Plan - Washington, D.C....Include Age-Friendly DC policies. Address food system needs, including food access, with policies throughout. Address increasing housing

The Comprehensive PlanA Brief Overview

• The Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) is a high-level guiding document that sets a positive, long-term vision for the District, through the lens of its physical growth and change.

• It is divided into 25 elements (see back) and 2 maps, the Future Land Use Map and the Generalized Policy Map.

• The Comp Plan was written in 2006 and amended in 2011. Given how our city has changed in that time, it is important that we amend it now to reflect today’s conditions, opportunities, and challenges – including housing, equity, resilience and public resources.

• The Comp Plan allows us to be intentional about how and where we change, and how we balance competing interests in order to ensure a vibrant, equitable, and resilient city, not only for us, but for our children and grandchildren.

• The Comp Plan establishes a vision and broad goals to help inform decision-making and provide context for residents, officials, and stakeholders and can help guide and inform more fine-grained planning efforts.

• Guides land use and impacts zoning and the District’s budget.• Incorporates over 40 various plans, including five Small Area Plans adopted since 2011.

OVERVIEW

Anacostia and the surrounding Far Southeast/Southwest neighborhoods have stayed strong through difficult times. Many middle-class residents left the area in the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s, affecting the stability of the area’s neighborhoods. Between 1990 and 2000 population in this Planning Area declined by nine percent and the poverty rate increased from 28 percent to 38 percent. While population decline has reversed course since 2000 and is projected to continue to grow over the next 20 years, poverty levels are still the highest in the District at 39 percent.

CONTENTS

• The area’s context, including its history, land use, demographics, housing characteristics, income and employment, and projections for growth. • Planning and Development Priorities highlighting key messages from community workshops. • FSS-1.1: General Policies for Guiding Growth and Neighborhood Conservation as well as Conserving and Enhancing Community Resources. • FSS-2: Seven Policy Focus Areas; Historic Anacostia, St. Elizabeths East Campus, Barry Farm/Hillsdale/Fort Stanton, Congress Heights

Metro Station, Congress Heights Commercial District, Bellevue/Washington Highlands, and DC Village.

DENSITY ALONG CORRIDORS

STEPPED-DOWN MASSING

STEPPED-BACK MASSING

Increased scale and density along high capacity transit and commercial corridors alleviates the pressure on smaller-scale, neighborhood streets.

PetworthStepping a building’s mass down to meet the roofline of its neighbors creates a more comfortable transition between smaller buildings and more visually prominent ones.

Stepping back buildings at floors above its neighbor’s predominant roofline makes the relationship between taller buildings and lower buildings more pleasing and gradual.

How-to Review the Draft Comp Plan UpdateThe Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) is a high-level guiding document that sets a positive, long-term vision for the District, through the lens of its physical growth and change.

IF YOU HAVE A FEW MINUTES: Check out the Comp Plan Overview

• A quick highlight on what the Comp Plan is all about. Review the Major Themes and Updates

• Read about the major changes to the Comp Plan since it was last updated in 2011. Read Element Summaries

• The Element Summaries give a high-level overview of Comp Plan sections and changes organized by theme.

IF YOU HAVE A HALF HOUR: Read all or parts of an Element, perhaps your Area Element or an area of interest, based on your review of the Element Summaries

• Dive deeper! Take a look at the full chapter of your Area Element. Review the Future Land Use Map and Generalized Policy Map

• The maps in the Comp Plan provide a glimpse into the future of DC.

IF YOU HAVE AN HOUR OR MORE: Read context elements, such as the Introduction, Land Use Element, or Implementation

• These elements provide a detailed view into the scope and impact of the Comp Plan. Review any other elements you find interesting, based on your review of Element Summaries

What Happens NextWe strongly encourage you to work with your ANC. For more information on connecting with your ANC, visit: anc.dc.gov. Send your feedback to your ANC by December 20th for incorporation into their resolution.
