The proposed resolution declares an emergency to officially designate the public alley system within square 1084 as Elmore-Friendship Court. This designation is necessary to facilitate the redevelopment of an existing carriage house into a residential unit by allowing the property owner to obtain the required District agency approvals, including permits and utility location, before the permanent legislation undergoes the standard 30-day congressional review period.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that the circumstances warrant immediate action and that the Elmore-Friendship Court Designation Emergency Act of 2025 should be adopted after a single reading. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon adoption by the Council of the District of Columbia.
