Six Zoning Changes to Be Considered at Hearing
Public hearing on six zoning changes is set for six o'clock Thursday morning in the district building board room. The principal item calls for rezoning six blocks between Union Station and the Capitol from unzoned to residential C with a 60 foot height limit. The move follows hopes of a Mall parkway development and may pressure government action on land acquisition. Massachusetts Avenue zoning would raise height limits from 40 to 60 feet between Fifteenth and Eighteenth streets NW, except near Scott Circle. Early examination of proposals is available in room 306, District Building.
