As part of its sweeping District-wide planning overhaul process, DC Council took a vote Tuesday that could set the stage for more housing along the U Street Corridor.
The Council voted unanimously Tuesday to pass the first of two votes for a long-awaited update to the Comprehensive Plan, the document that guides growth and land use across the District.
During that session, Ward 1 councilmember Brianne Nadeau introduced an amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), which doesn’t change zoning but does guide future zoning and land use decisions. Her amendment, which passed 12-1, changes the land use designations for some DC-owned properties along U Street to allow for dense housing development.
