Park View, D.C.

On August 10, 2017, I received notice that BZA application #19603 was filed for 435 Park Road, NW. A description of the property and the proposed use from the application follows:

The Property is located at 435 Park Road, N.W., and is located in the RF-1 zone district. The Property is currently a large corner lot measuring 4,119 square feet of land area. The Applicant intends to subdivide the lot into two smaller lots. The subject Property, 435 Park Road, N.W., will become an interior lot. In order to complete the proposed subdivision, the Applicant will be removing a large bay window on the east side of the Building facing Park Place. Abutting the Property to the west is a semi-detached dwelling. Abutting the Property to the south and east are Park Road and Park Place, respectively. Once the subdivision is complete, the Applicant intends to construct a new flat on 433 Park Road, N.W., which will abut the subject Property to the east. Abutting the Property’s rear yard, to the north, is a row dwelling. The Applicant is proposing to convert the existing Building from a single-family dwelling to a flat.

Based on my understanding of the case, the entire project as proposed would have been by-right if not for the removal of the bay window and the architectural cornice on the bay window. The removal of the architectural feature requires a special exception. The BZA hearing has not yet been scheduled.
