The project for the development of
an attractive parkway linking Union
Station with the Capitol building
may be revived in Congress as a re-
suit of the steps now being taken
to have the Zoning Commission desig-
nate part of the plaza tract for COM
mercial purposes.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
which still owns about half of the land
needed for the contemplated parkway,
has awakened interest once more in the
plaza scheme by its petition to the
Zoning Commission.
Sign boards announcing that the
land is for sale have been erected on
the privately owned portions of the
plaza and the recent application for
the zoning of the property for build
ing purposes is another indication of
the intention of the railroad COM
pany to dispose Of it's holdings.
Because Of the location Of this
land, with the gateway to the city
dome of the Capitol at the other, this
case probably will prove to be one of
the most important the Zoning Board
has had to decide since it came into
cAIotcHCc loUF years ago.
Consideration of the problem of
how this area should be zoned has
been postponed by the commission
until September, at which time argu-
ments will be heard from the owners
and from interested citizens or organ
izations.
Portion Unzoned.
At the present time that portion of
the plaza owned by the B. & o. is
recorded as "unZoned." 1t possesses
this unique designation because the
Loning Commission. believing that
the park scheme eventually would be
carrld out, did not consider the
area when it originally zoned the en-
tire city four years ago.
Now that the owners have re-
quested some action, the Zoning COM
mission has taken the position that
unzoned. It will have to render a
decision. Whether the plaza will be
designated as residential or CONNER
cial will not be determined until
after arguments are heard in Sep
tember.
The Baltimore and Ohio and the
Real Estate and Improvement Com
pany of Baltimore. the latter a hold
ing company, have asked that the
property be zoned first commercial
would permit apartments. hotels or
any kind of retail business.
The commission suggested in it's
notice of hearing on the question
that the coming be residential with a
60-foot height limit, which would
permit apartments. hotels or resi-
dences, but no stores.
or course, the greater part of the
plaza tract is still occupied by the
temporary dormitories erected by the
Government during the World War
to house the army of young women
brought here at that time for cleri-
cal work in the departments. An
while 1t is not known how much
longer the dormitories will be needed
the for-sale signs that have been
erected in front of some of these
buildings bear evidence to the fact
that the private owners have their
portion of the proposed park site on
the market for disposal at the first
opportunity.
Purchnxe Half Complete.
The plaza park purchase has re-
mained half complete for so long a
period that it is doubtful if many
ingtonians recall today the ex-
act status of the project.
