The RFK Campus Small Area Plan Amendment Act of 2026 aims to streamline the process for amending the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for the RFK Campus, allowing for mixed-use development. The bill proposes that the Mayor can include amendments to the FLUM within a small area plan for the RFK Campus, which would not be subject to the full requirements typically associated with amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. However, any proposed amendments must still be submitted to the Council for consideration. This change is intended to facilitate timely zoning and development while ensuring community input through the small area plan process.

The legislation modifies Section 4(c) of the District of Columbia Comprehensive Plan Act of 1984 by adding a new paragraph that specifically addresses the RFK Campus. It allows for a more focused approach to planning and development, which is expected to benefit from detailed community engagement. The bill does not have a fiscal impact, as funds are deemed sufficient in the budget for its implementation, and it does not affect the already exempted stadium portion of the RFK Campus development.
