Wisconsin Avenue Development Framework
Wisconsin Avenue Development Framework
To implement the 2021 update to the Comprehensive Plan, the DC Office of Planning is undertaking the Wisconsin Avenue Development Framework in 2022-2023. The framework will recommend new zoning that can deliver additional housing capacity in this high-opportunity, mixed-use corridor, examining key sites and public space improvements around the Friendship Heights and Tenleytown Metro Station areas.
Wisconsin Avenue Community Design Conversations - Part #1 Tenleytown
As part of the planning effort for housing opportunities in Rock Creek West, the Office of Planning is launching the Wisconsin Avenue Community Design Conversations, a 2-part series of engagements focused on exploring the opportunities that exist for future design and development along the Wisconsin Avenue corridor, with a particular focus on Tenleytown and Friendship Heights.
Stakeholders can attend the Tenleytown Community Design Conversation on a walk-in basis, between 11:00am and 2:00pm, and engage in the way that is most meaningful for them, be it through providing written input to convening in a small group discussion.
Through these engagements, community members and stakeholders will be invited to participate in a facilitated experience that:
- provides background context on the planning objectives for this process;
- explores scenarios for future development opportunities that maximizes housing production, particularly affordable housing that support residents with a range of household incomes; and
- creates spaces for dialogue to share ideas and feedback that can be incorporated into final development and public realm opportunities.
This process is open to all, and we encourage all who are interested in exploring the potential for future planning and development opportunities in Ward 3 to attend.
If you need reasonable accomodations (i.e. ASL), or for language assistance services (translation or interpretation), please contact Erkin Ozberk, Project Manager at (202)-442-7707 or erkin.ozberk@dc.gov. Please make requests no less then 72 hours in advance of the meeting.

On February 16, 2024, the DC Office of Planning released the Wisconsin Avenue Development Framework following an 18-month public planning process. Thank you to the neighbors in Friendship Heights, Tenleytown, and the broader community for active participation in the process.
The Development Framework ensures that future growth and development contribute to greater equity across Rock Creek West, support diverse retail, and enhance quality of life for current and future residents.
