Overlay Districts   Summary
Uptown Arts-Mixed Use Overlay District (ARTS)  
The Uptown Arts-Mixed Use (ARTS) Overlay District was established to encourage retail, entertainment and residential uses that require pedestrian activity; an increased presence and integration of the arts and related cultural and arts-related support uses; a design character and identity of the area by establishing physical design standards and adaptive reuse of older buildings in combination with new buildings; and increased public safety. The ARTS Overlay provides for flexibility in use, height, bulk, bonus density, and combined lot development; and is subject to the Inclusionary Zoning Requirements of Chapter 26 of the Zoning Regulations. No portion of an eating/drinking establishment located on the ground floor of squares fronting 14th Street or U Street, N.W. is permitted to occupy more than fifty percent (50%) of the linear frontage of that square. Where there are conflicts between the ARTS Overlay and the underlying zoning, the more restrictive provisions of the Zoning Regulations govern. For more information, including preferred uses, combined lot development, bonus density provisions, and street frontage design requirements, see Chapter 19 of the Zoning Regulations.
Capitol Interest Overlay District (CAP)  
The Capitol Interest (CAP) Overlay District was established to promote and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the U.S. Capitol precinct and the area adjacent to this jurisdiction, in a manner consistent with the goals and mandates of the United States Congress. The overlay controls land use, as well as the height and bulk of buildings, for the areas south of the U.S. Capitol and the historic residential district to the east of the U.S. Capitol. The overlay restricts some of the permitted uses allowed in the existing zone districts and provides for more control of the height and bulk allowed in existing underlying zone districts. The height of buildings or structures in the CAP Overlay District shall not exceed forty feet (40 ft.) or three (3) stories in height. Roof structures shall not exceed ten feet (10 ft.) in height above the roof upon which they are located. The maximum permitted density of a building or structure within the overlay district shall not exceed one and eight-tenths (1.8) floor area ratio (FAR). All special exception applications within the overlay are referred to the Architect of the Capitol for review and comment. For more information, including information on specific use regulations and allowable Inclusionary Zoning modifications, see Chapter 12 of the Zoning Regulations.
Chain Bridge Road/University
Terrace Overlay District (CB/UT)
 
The Chain Bridge Road/University Terrace (CB/UT) Overlay District was established to preserve and enhance the park-like setting of the Chain Bridge Road/University Terrace area by providing for widely-spaced residences and by regulating alteration or disturbance of terrain, destruction of trees, and ground coverage of permitted buildings and impervious surfaces. The intent of the overlay is to preserve the natural topography and mature trees to the maximum extent feasible in a residential neighborhood; prevent significant adverse impact on adjacent open space, parkland, stream beds, or other environmentally sensitive natural areas; limit permitted ground coverage of new and expanded buildings and other construction, so as to encourage a general compatibility between the siting of new buildings or construction and the existing neighborhood; and limit the minimum size of lots so as to prevent significant adverse impact on existing infrastructure. The CB/UT Overlay provides for lot occupancy and ground coverage restrictions and tree removal limitations. The overlay does not affect the matter-of-right building height, yard, and lot occupancy requirements of the underlying zone districts. Where there is a conflict between the CB/UT Overlay District and the underlying zoning, the more restrictive provisions of the Zoning Regulations govern. For more information, see Sections 1565 through 1569 of the Zoning Regulations.
Capitol Gateway Overlay District (CG)  
The Capitol Gateway (CG) Overlay District was established to provide use, height, density (including incentives for bonus density and height), combined lot development, and design requirements to ensure an appropriate mixture of residential and commercial uses and suitable height, bulk, and design of buildings. The overlay is applied to the Buzzard Point and Capitol Gateway areas, which are in the southwest and near southeast quadrants of the city, north or west of the Anacostia River. Specific development objectives of the overlay are: to encourage support and visitor-related uses and continued existing industrial uses; to reduce the height and bulk of buildings along the Anacostia riverfront; to require suitable ground-floor retail and service uses along M Street, near the Navy Yard metro; to provide for a ballpark for major league sport and entertainment and associated uses at Squares 702-706 and Reservation 247; to establish South Capitol Street as a monumental boulevard; and to provide for the development of Half Street, S.E. and First Street, S.E. as active pedestrian-oriented streets. The overlay is mapped on top of the existing underlying zone districts and where there are conflicts, the CG Overlay governs. Bonus density, and sometimes additional height, is available and density transfers are permitted under certain circumstances. For more information, including design requirements for individual streets and allowable Inclusionary Zoning modifications, see Chapter 16 of the Zoning Regulations.
Capitol Hill Commercial Overlay District (CHC)  
The Capitol Hill Commercial (CHC) Overlay District was established to implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, particularly those land use objectives and policies related to improving the physical condition of Capitol Hill through the provision of functional, efficient, and attractive commercial areas; minimizing conflicts between various land uses; locating more intensive and active land uses in areas of Capitol Hill that can accommodate and support such uses; stabilizing and improving commercial areas in portions of Capitol Hill; ensuring the integrity of the Capitol Hill Historic District; and developing and establishing special land use categories to meet the unique characteristics of the commercial areas of Capitol Hill. The overlay also seeks to encourage adaptive reuse of buildings and to provide appropriate incentives for new infill that is compatible with the Capitol Hill Historic District. The maximum building height permitted in the CHC Overlay District shall be that of the underlying zone; however, if the property is located within both the CHC Overlay District and the CAP Overlay District, the maximum height shall be that permitted in the CAP Overlay District. The maximum density permitted for a building or structure in the CHC Overlay District shall be 3.0 floor area ratio (FAR). The maximum density for a building or structure located in both the CHC Overlay District and the CAP Overlay District shall be 2.5 FAR. The maximum density for a planned unit development within the CHC is 3.0 FAR; the maximum density for a planned unit development within both the CAP and CHC overlays is 2.5 FAR.

The overlay allows for the location of a chancery, if not disapproved by the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA). In rendering a decision, the BZA considers the international obligation of the United States to facilitate the provision of adequate and secure facilities for foreign missions in the Nation's Capital; historic preservation and its compliance with District of Columbia and federal regulations governing historic preservation; and the adequacy of parking, security, the municipal interest (as determined by the Mayor) and federal interest (as determined by the Secretary of State). For more information, see Chapter 10 of the Zoning Regulations.
Dupont Circle Overlay District (DC)  
The Dupont Circle (DC) Overlay District was established to preserve and enhance the unique low scale, predominately residential and historic character, and independent small retail businesses of Dupont Circle, given the high-density development pressures caused by its proximity to the Central Employment Area and the Dupont Circle Metrorail Station. In the DC Overlay, the matter-of-right height and density limits serve as the maximum permitted height and floor area ratio for a planned unit development (PUD). Where other provisions of the regulations provide for additional requirements for PUDs, those additional requirements continue to apply. Where there is a conflict between the DC Overlay and the underlying zoning, the more restrictive provisions of the Zoning Regulations govern. For more information, see Sections 1500 through 1505 of the Zoning Regulations.

The Downtown Development (DD) Overlay District is applied to the core of the Downtown area in northwest Washington, D.C., including sub-areas identified in the Comprehensive Plan as the Downtown Shopping District (Retail Core), the Downtown Arts District, Gallery Place, Chinatown, Pennsylvania Quarter, Convention Center, and Mount Vernon Square. The general purposes are to create a balanced mix of uses; to guide office development, which is favored by market forces, so as to further the land use objectives for retail, hotel, residential, entertainment, arts and cultural uses; to protect historic buildings and places while permitting sensitive and compatible new developments; to achieve desired land use and development policies; to guide building design to be generally consistent with the Downtown Element of the Comprehensive Plan; to foster growth opportunities for and retention of small and minority businesses; and to provide adequate and visually acceptable short-term parking and consolidated loading from streets other than F, G, and 7th Streets. The overlay contains requirements that govern the use, design, height, and bulk of development. It contains both area-wide design standards and use provisions, as well as requirements that are tailored specifically to the Downtown Shopping District, the Downtown Arts District, Chinatown, and the Mount Vernon Triangle District. The overlay provides a wide range of overlapping incentives and requirements to meet its development goals. For more information, including preferred uses, design requirements, transferable development rights, combined lot development, historic preservation restrictions, and affordable housing requirements, see Chapter 17 of the Zoning Regulations.
