The "Closing of a Public Alley in Square 2068, S.O. 25-01801, Act of 2025" proposes the closure of a 15-foot-wide L-shaped portion of the public alley system in Square 2068, which abuts Lots 92, 811, and 818. This closure is intended to facilitate the consolidation of properties and support the construction of a three-story residential building with a penthouse by 3500 CT LLC and Uptown Heights LLC. The project will encompass approximately 13,180 square feet of residential space and include parking for 12 to 14 vehicles. Importantly, the closure will not impede access to services for surrounding properties, as alternative access points exist via other alleys off Ordway and Porter streets.
The bill outlines that the Council finds the specified portions of the public alley unnecessary for alley purposes and orders their closure, with title to the land vesting as indicated on the Surveyors plat. The legislation will take effect following the Mayor's approval, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
