D.C. would close a Ward 6 alley segment with conditions

D.C. would close the alley segment and transfer the land as its official property map directs. The segment lies behind 229 and 231 Pennsylvania Avenue SE. Every condition in the project’s official file must be met. The measure would take effect after mayoral approval or a veto override, a 30-day congressional review, and publication in the D.C. Register. The closure and land transfer would follow official recording of the property map.

The developer would have to pay D.C. $7,538.20, combine four lots, and apply for a permit for the planned combined building. The project involves Lots 823, 839, 842, and 843 in Square 762. DC Water requires a recorded sewer-access agreement with at least 25 feet of clear space above ground. Pepco requires city approval to remove a streetlight and coordination on existing power service. The developer must fully repay Verizon if later redevelopment requires moving its equipment. The transportation agency’s requirements must be met before D.C. records the closure map.
