Zoning Commission Case No. 11-03A Hoffman-Struever Waterfront, LLC – Second-Stage PUD @ Southwest Waterfront, Squares 390, 391, 473, and adjacent riparian areas
On February 7, 2012, the Office of Zoning received an application from Hoffman-Struever Waterfront, LLC, on behalf of the District of Columbia through the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, the owner of the property, and the Vestry of St. Augustine’s Church, the owner of Lots 83 and 814 in Square 473 (collectively, the “Applicant”). The Applicant is requesting the review and approval of a second-stage planned unit development (“PUD”) for the Southwest Waterfront for the portions of the approved first-stage PUD known as Parcels 2, 3, 4, and 11, and related open spaces and public areas. The Office of Planning provided its report on April 2, 2012, and the case was set down for hearing on April 9, 2012. The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on April 11, 2012.
The property that is the subject of this application consists of portions of Squares 390, 391, and 473; certain closed streets, including portions of Water Street, S.W., 7th, and 9th Streets, S.W.; and certain riparian rights along the Southwest Waterfront. This stage-two PUD application encompasses approximately 214,166 square feet (4.9 acres) of land area devoted to building parcels. The PUD also includes public spaces, parks, and recreational facilities known as the Wharf, Transit Pier, the District Pier, the Capital Yacht Club, and Waterfront Park, and related facility buildings and kiosks. The property is located in the C-3-C, W-1, or R-5-B Zone Districts.
The Applicant proposes to redevelop the Southwest Waterfront into a new urban waterfront with maritime, commercial, cultural, residential and neighborhood-serving uses. The proposed stage-two "vertical" improvements will include two mixed-income apartment houses built above a multi-purpose entertainment and cultural venue on Parcel 2 with ground and upper floor retail; a co-generation power facility on Parcel 2 to service the PUD site from 7th Street to the Fish Market; an office building with ground floor retail on north portion of Parcel 3, known as Parcel 3A; a hotel with ground floor retail on Parcel 3B; a mixed-income multi-family residential building and a market-rate multi-family residential building with ground floor and upper floor retail/service uses on Parcel 4; a church and multi-family residential building on Parcel 11; the Capital Yacht Club on the Wharf just below Parcels 3 and 4; the District Pier Pavilion on the landside of the District Pier; the Dock Masters Building on the waterside of the District Pier; the Transit Pier Pavilion on the Transit Pier, flexible retail kiosks on the Wharf, and the Waterfront Park Pavilion in the Waterfront Park. The stage-two development will include approximately 1,552,253 square feet of gross floor area, or approximately 49T of the projected 3,165,000 million square feet of gross floor area approved in the entire PUD. Approximately 777,173 square feet of gross floor area will be devoted to residential uses, with approximately 97,000 square feet of gross floor area set aside for low and moderate housing and 69,000 square feet of gross floor area set aside for workforce housing in this stage-two PUD application.
Because of the breadth and scope of this second-stage PUD application, the Commission determined to hold the hearing on multiple evenings, with each particular building parcel and its related open space to be discussed on separate dates, as follows:
