The Elmore-Friendship Court Designation Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025 was introduced to address the urgent need for the official designation of the public alley system within Square 1084 as Elmore-Friendship Court. This resolution was passed by the Council of the District of Columbia on July 28, 2025, alongside the Elmore-Friendship Court Designation Act of 2025. The emergency declaration allows for immediate action, enabling the property owner adjacent to the alley to secure necessary approvals for redeveloping an existing carriage house into a residential unit, including obtaining permits and utility location, prior to the completion of the standard 30-day congressional review period for permanent legislation.

The Council has determined that the circumstances warranting this emergency designation necessitate its adoption after a single reading, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The resolution is effective immediately, allowing for swift progress on the redevelopment project and ensuring that the alley is officially recognized as Elmore-Friendship Court without delay.
