[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DC Zoning Board is likely to approve new regulations which could create backyard auxiliary dwelling units in much of DC, including AU Park and Tenleytown. Although there are arguments on both sides of this issue, the potential is there to create many alley cottages in the neighborhood, which could further increase the IB population at Janney over the next several years.[/quote] that's absurd -- alley dwellers are not families -- they're almost uniformly singles or couples. . . I suspect there will be more AirBnB renters than residents anyway. If you could rent an alley residence for the purpose of establishing residency you could just as easily rent a studio apartment IB[/quote] Uh oh - people will build, move their nannies into them, and then the nannies children will be IB. [/quote] ADUs will not get matter-of-right approval in current R-1, SFH neighborhoods. PP upthread is being chicken little with regard to Office of Planning's eventual decision. [/quote] Not true. The current proposal before the zoning commission largely removes the special exception requirement and for the first time permits matter of right units in outbuildings like garages in R-1 zones. Up to three persons can live in the accessory dwelling unit. This could have a meaningful impact on density in AU Park and Tenleytown. https://zoningdc.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/accessory-apartments.jpg [/quote] I know it's been proposed. It won't go forward though. It's mainly there as a masturbatory ego move by Greater Greater Washington and for use as a bargaining chip by Ofc. Planning[/quote]
