[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OMG this is truly nuts.

And I am not a lawyer just someone who understands how laws get enacted in DC and let me tell you it isn't rocket science though it is akin to sausage being made.

For "gentle density" to become policy in DC it needs to be incorporated into legislation.

Currently there is no legislative proposal that incorporates "gentle density."

If you believe there is a proposal or that it is incorporated somewhere in the proposal DCOP sent to DC Council more than a month ago to update the Comp Plan please provide a citation for where it is in that legislation.

Otherwise all we have is a report with recommendations and you can repeat it all you want that it is a formal proposal but that will never make it true.[/quote]

Hmmm...NOBODY ever said that there was legislation to incorporate 'gentle density'. Everybody has maintained that the Comp Plan and the Single Family Zoning report both 'propose' and 'recommend' gentle density. I believe even the steps have been enumerated here.

So now that you have thrown your little tantrum and moved the goal posts again, are we going to get down to the discussion you proposed or are you going to 'conflate' (to use your term) COVID treatments with housing policy? (technically you probably can continue conflating because the thread is about how COVID may impact density planning)

So all in for replacing the vape shop with a COVID therapeutics Shoppe?[/quote]

Note, however, that the proposed FLUM amendments designate a demarcated local plan area for an area from Friendship Heights south to the Cathedral and including several blocks east and west of Wisconsin Ave - with much overlap on the recommended transit-oriented gentle density recommendation in this area. The detail in the FLUM amendments indicate that it would give administrative authority to DC agencies (ie, OP) to enact changes like more density in SFH zones.   So there is a hidden backdoor to enact some gentle density through the Comp Plan amendments and FLUM changes.[/quote]
