NOVEMBER 6, 2008 SUSTAINABILITY WORKING GROUP
Work Group Constraints
• Recommendations will distinguish between zoning changes and other regulatory solutions
• Zoning recommendations should complement and not conflict with other regulations
• Changes to other D.C. regulations – not within scope• Neighborhood-specific density and height standard changes –
not within scope• Sustainability Diagnosis paper is input to the process – not
output– Goal is not to refine the Diagnosis but to use it to make specific
recommendations for new or amended zoning regulations
