The proposed resolution, known as the Congress Cove Court Designation Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025, aims to officially designate the public alley system within Square 6153, located between 4th Street S.E. and Atlantic Street S.E., as Congress Cove Court. The resolution highlights an urgent need for this designation to facilitate the development of residential units by the property owner of two lots adjacent to the alley. It references the adoption of Bill 26-120, the Congress Cove Court Designation Act of 2025, which allows the owner to secure necessary approvals and permits from District agencies before the completion of the 30-day congressional review period for the permanent legislation.

The Council of the District of Columbia recognizes the circumstances surrounding this designation as an emergency, necessitating the resolution's immediate adoption after a single reading. The resolution is designed to expedite the process of development in the area, ensuring that the property owner can proceed without delay while the formal legislative process is finalized.
