ANC 3/4G established the Zoning, Design and Development Standing Committee (ZDD) in a series of resolutions during 2022 to tap the community’s wisdom and expertise to help the Commission deal with the wide array of land use issues that are coming to it. Among the purposes listed are:
- Helping the Commission participate with the city in devising the rules for a special zoning district or zone for the upper Connecticut Avenue corridor;
- Advising the Commission on how most effectively to pursue redevelopment of the Community Center-Library campus to ensure robust community participation, inclusion of mixed-income housing and a structure that complements and improves the Connecticut Avenue commercial core;
- Keeping abreast of design and development trends, policies and practices elsewhere that the Commission might learn from as it seeks to preserve the community’s many positive attributes and improve Chevy Chase;
- Finding ways to help the Commission ensure that Chevy Chase’s growth is balanced between structure and infrastructure, large development along Connecticut Avenue and smaller structures in adjacent residential areas, change and continuity.
