This seems to be Ward3Vision math.

No, it is the math in the documents submitted to the zoning commission, page 12, and Page A02 of the architectural plans. [/quote]

So, it is not fuzzy Ward 3 Vision math, but developers’ lawyer math.

The height of the building on Wisconsin Avenue definitely is taller than what is allowed by right.  The matter of right limit for height along Wisconsin Avenue is 50 feet, and GDS is asking for a height of 80 feet.  That is 60 percent higher than what can be built by right on the avenue.

The tabulation in the architectural drawings on page A02 doesn’t compare the proposed development “with the standards and requirements that would apply to a matter-of-right development under the zone district classification of the site at the time the application is filed” as they are supposed to, but instead compares their proposed development with the standards and requirements that would apply with the much higher zoning that they are requesting.  So, their strategy seems to be to mislead someone who doesn't know the zoning code or who isn't reading closely by comparing what they're building not to the actual zoning but to the zoning of their dreams.
