§ 910.3 Program administration. ( a ) This part 910, together with *Square Guidelines,* described below, provides interested parties with the urban planning and design information sufficient to understand and participate in the process of square development within the Development Area. ( 1 ) This part 910, General Guidelines and Uniform Standards for Urban Planning and Design of Development, sets forth the general planning and design goals and objectives which govern the implementation of *the Plan,* specifies standards which are uniformly applicable to all *developments* throughout the Development Area, and provides a glossary of defined terms applicable to this part as well as *Square Guidelines.*
( 2 ) *Square Guidelines* specifies detailed urban planning and design requirements and recommendations which are applicable to each particular *coordinated planning area,* a *coordinated planning area* being a square, a portion of a square, or a combination of squares. These requirements and recommendations set forth intentions and refinements of *the Plan* in light of the identified Planning and Design Concerns specified in subpart B of this part 910. Each set of *Square Guidelines* is adopted by the Board of Directors, issued by the Chairman, and is available, upon request, at the Corporation's office.
( 3 ) *Square Guidelines* are developed in the context of the existing environment. Several provisions in the *Square Guidelines* are, therefore, established on the basis of certain assumptions in terms of existing buildings, a particular traffic pattern and roadway configuration, a market condition for a particular land use, etc. In the event of a major change or casualty which would render it impossible or impracticable to meet certain requirements of *Square Guidelines,* the Corporation would expect to develop and issue up-to-date *Square Guidelines.* This statement does not, of course, preclude the Corporation from issuing amendments to *Square Guidelines* from time to time on any other basis.
( b ) Pursuant to section 7(b) of the Act, each proposal for *development* within the Development Area must be submitted to the Corporation to determine its consistency with *the Plan.* The Corporation's adopted development policy, entitled “Development Policies and Procedures,” sets forth the process for this determination. In determining whether a *development* proposal is consistent with *the Plan,* the Corporation shall review the proposal against all adopted Corporation programs, policies, and regulations, including: ( 1 ) This part 910.
( 2 ) Square Guidelines.
( 3 ) Development Policies and Procedures.
( 4 ) Historic Preservation Plan.
( 5 ) Energy Guidelines.
( 6 ) Side Street Improvements Program.
( 7 ) Policy on Environmental Quality and Control (36 CFR part 907).
( 8 ) Pennsylvania Avenue Lighting Plan.
( 9 ) Public Improvements Program.
( 10 ) Affirmative Action Policy and Procedure (36 CFR part 906).
( 11 ) Policy and Procedures to Facilitate Successful Relocation of Businesses and Residents within the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Area.
( 12 ) All other programs, policies, and regulations that may be approved and adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time.
( c ) Pursuant to the Act, Federal and District of Columbia agencies and departments may exercise such existing authority and lawful powers over urban planning and design features of *development* as are consistent with *the Plan.* No department or agency may release, modify, or depart from any feature of *the Plan* without the prior approval of the Corporation.
