Neighborhood
• NoMa is a vibrant, growing neighborhood nestled between Union Station, the U.S. Capitol, Shaw, and the H Street, NE corridor in Washington, D.C. Over the last several years, private developers have invested more than $5 billion in the 35-block area within the NoMa BID boundary, and have plans to develop more than 20 million square feet of additional office, residential, hotel, and retail space. With a capital investment of $50 million from the District government in 2013, NoMa will soon have great new parks and public spaces as well. NoMa is home to more than 3,900 terrific new apartments, and more than 40,000 people work here each day.
Zoning
• The site is split zoned – lots 806 and 825 are zoned R-4, while the remainder of the lots are zoned C-2-A. R-4 is a low to moderate density residential zone which permits single family, duplex, rowhouse, and flat (2 residential units) development by right, but does not permit new multi-family development. C-2-A is a low to moderate density mixed use zone which allows residential multi-family and limited commercial development.
Affordability
• No Offer shall be selected unless the Project conforms with the Affordability Covenant attached to the PDA and at a minimum requires at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Units in the Project be sold or rented to persons with annual household incomes that do not exceed 80% of “AMI”. For this Solicitation, PADD requires a minimum affordability period of 15 years for homeownership and 40 years for rental housing.
