Mt. Pleasant Street N.W.

I wasn't able to attend the Zoning Commission hearing last night about the H Street Zoning Overlay, so I don't know how they ruled yet...

One of the things I testified on behalf of ANC6C at the hearing in March, was the importance of including signage guidelines in the Zoning Overlay.

The Zoning Commission seemed inclined to consider it, although we didn't submit additional testimony, and we should have, because...

Signage makes a tremendous difference in how a commercial district is perceived.
