Background and Context

The Wisconsin Avenue Development Framework provides guidance for zoning changes consistent with the District’s Comprehensive Plan. These changes will deliver needed housing units on this high-opportunity, mixed-use corridor. Part of a broader Rock Creek West Corridors Planning Initiative, this development framework implements land use and housing policies outlined in the 2021 amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and the 2021 Rock Creek West Roadmap.

The Wisconsin Avenue Development Framework was produced through a robust year-long community engagement process. An Existing Conditions Report completed at the outset of this process contains background information on demographics, housing, economic, and social trends, as well spatial analysis of the built environment.
