City Project
zoning Decision
Expected Thursday
koIen Suggests Change
To Gront Permits for
Community Units

Decision is expected to be reached
next Thursday by the Zoning Com
mission on the granting of COM
mercial zoning and increased height
limits for sections of the Dean
tract, at Florida and Connecticut
avenues and Columbia road NV,
requested to permit the $4,000 900
Crystal City apartment, hotel and
business development in that area.
Debate over this project monpo-
lized yesterdays public hearing be-
fore the commission as plans for
the unusual development were an
alyzed by opponents, proponents and
casual observers. Some observers
said they felt the opposition was
much less than had been antici-
pated.
John Nolen, representing the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, objected to the change
urged by promoters of the project,
but suggested an amendment to the
zoning code which would permit
community units" without chang
ing the zoning classification OF a
site, similar to the rule in operation
in st. Louis, Mo-
Turnage Tells of Taxes.
Needham C. Turnage, speaking for
the Masonic order, which in former
years planned its own development
of the site, told the Zoning Commits
sion it now was paying high tax
each year and that the Crystal City
planners had placed substantial
cash deposit with the land owners.
Opposition to the request for
commercial zoning for part of the
tract and for an increase in the
height limit from 90-foot residential
&c" area to 110-foot first commercial
ID" area for some of the tract was
voiced by a spokeman for Morris
Cafritz, apartment and hotel builder
and owner; Thomas n. Cuttings,
representing nearby apartment
owners, and Clifford K. Bergman,
nearby property owner among
others.
Parking Arrangements.
Plans for the development in
clude arrangements for the parking
of some 1000 automobiles, a movie
theater at Florida and Connecticut
avenues. Only 100 feet on Connecti-
cut avenue would be used for COM
mercial purposes.
Plans for the construction of an
History s5O0,0O apartment house at
the southeast corner of Thirteenth
street and Massachusetts, avenue
NV. also were considered by the
commission under a plan to change
its zoning to first commercial no.
foot ID" area. Senator King, Demo-
crat of Utah. retiring chairman of
the Senate District Committee, ap-
peared as a friend of the petitioner.

study before filing their recon-
mendatlons for sewage treatment.

Fort George G. Meade, Md, where
the 29th National Guard of the
