Site Details – 8 th and T Street, N. W, Washington, DC Neighborhood • Shaw is one of the oldest communities in the District and experienced significant growth during and immediately following the Civil War. A development boom expanded the District through the neighborhood up to Florida Avenue, then the District’s northern boundary. This development continued into the early 20 th Century, as entertainment options (such as nightclubs, restaurants and theatres) came to grow in the northern portion of the commercial corridor 1. Seventh Street became the area’s new cultural and entertainment destination. Growth in the neighborhood continued until the April 1968 riots following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. , which devastated Shaw’s commercial corridor. Urban renewal efforts in the 1970 s and 1980 s resulted in the construction of public schools, churches, a public library, one major commercial facility and a supermarket. 1 • Home to numerous historic sites, such as the Howard Theatre and Carter G. Woodson House, the neighborhood is also the location of the new $850 million Washington Convention Center and the City Museum of Washington, DC. Because of its historic building stock, proximity to Downtown, and outstanding transportation access, Shaw is attracting both local and national retailers. Several new developments offer new residences as well as exciting dining and entertainment options (such as ethnic restaurants, live theater, and music venues) to serve the diverse residents of the community. Shaw is rapidly becoming one of the DC’s hottest residential neighborhoods. Zoning • The existing zoning is R-4, a low to moderate density residential zone. R-4 permits single family, duplex, rowhouse, and flat development (2 residential units) by right. The zone does not permit new multi-family development. The site does not meet the minimum lot area standard for a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Each new rowhouse/flat lot in the R-4 zone is required to have a lot area of 1, 800 sq. ft. , and a minimum lot width of 18 feet. Affordability • The developer shall demonstrate that 51% of all new units created shall be affordable to households with incomes at or below 80% of AMI. For this Solicitation, PADD requires a minimum affordability period of 15 years for homeownership and 40 years for rental housing.
