Comprehensive Plan amendments.

The DC Office of Planning has lead an array of activities to engage residents in [PLAN]DC, a citywide
initiative to amend the Districts 20-year Comprehensive Plan. Stakeholders interested in making an
amendment proposal can find a host of useful materials on the [PLAN]DC website [www.plandc.dc.gov],

is the primary tool that helps the District to manage change in a way that embraces progress while
protecting the qualities that make DC a special place.

5E06 - BZA Case No. 19441, Richardson Place Neighborhood Association (RPNA) @ 410-412
Richardson Place NW appeal of DCRA permits. It was reported that RPNA unanimously supports this
protest and asks the ANC to do the same with a recommendation that the developers should move
forward with applying for permits that are acceptable for the intended use along with a community
benefits package based on the variances they are seeking.

A motion was made to support the RPNA appeal of the DCRA permit and that ANC recommends the
building owners apply for correct permits, variances, and include a community benefits package to ensure
that the concerns of the neighbors are addressed.

A friendly amendment was made to remove the community benefits package request. A second friendly
amendment was made to simplify the motion to just support the RPNA appeal of DCRA permits at 410-
412 Richardson Place. Motion passed. Commissioner McClelland presented a more detailed resolution to
support the Richardson Place Associations appeal of DCRA permits at 410-412 Richardson Place NW.
Motion passed.

The Office of the People's Counsel has received an increasing number of complaints from consumers

speak with a consumer outreach specialist.
