[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what is the next step and how much of a delay will this likely be? A year? [/quote]

Best case: To get through BZA at least 5 month till post hearing to know if they get the required approval for the school, and the boarding facility. Only then can they can get their plans approved. Not too much resistance from neighbors concerned about traffic flow and parking.  They will then pay the required fast tract $50K or whatever it is for the Velocity program, and get their plan approved in a week. So they can start demolition again in August.

Worst case: The Preservation League decides to re-invigorate the Landmark Claim.  This prevents any permit application for (including demolition) for at least 6 months,  this is the Historic Preservation law, and if they win they are then limited to what can be changed inside the building.  So they will have to do a redesign, and still deal with going to BZA for 2 cases, 1 for the school use, 1 for the boarding house use. The first case is easier to win than the second. So at least 10 months before permits can be submitted to the Velocity program at DCRA, they then get the permits and start again in January 2020.
