At the eastern end of H street,
Mr.. Lewis zones for a "maior

section Of H street, Maryland

such centers for new employ

with proposals to discourage big

various locations on the map

Congressional and Mount Olivet
Cemeteries are zoned as single

is in line with modern coming
practice, because of a large
number of cemeteries through

Parking Need
Seen byzoner

The Districts 'long-dormant'
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency
has been urged by coming con-
sultant Harold M. Lewis to pro-
vide more than 10000 all-day
parking spaces for commuters
within walking distance of down.

ccnterS.
The suggestion came in an ga
page land use report from Mr.
Lewis. detailing neighborhood de-
velopment trends and used as q
guide to his controversial recon-
ing proposals.
The parking idea was listed as
one of a number of policies not
yet officially sanctioned" which
his firm urges for full public dis
cussion and decision before a f.
nal rezoning code is adopted.
He said studies show about TO-
600 commuter vehicles will be en-
tering the central area daily by
1870. Only about $4,000 parking
spaces now are available, he said
and 10000 of these should be set
aside for daytime business
trips" This means only 10000
are left for commuters, he rea-
soned. against the 1870 need for
10000.
The report said most shoppers
won't walk more than 300 feet
from parking areas to shops, but
that commuters would walk at
lease twice that far to get to their

would have to be discontinued
after is years.
Likely Questions.
! Other questions likely to bC
raised at tomorrow nights puolit
meeting on this area include:
/. Are lot requirements for the
row-house (R-3) areas imprac-
tically strict? The Lewis stand
ards for R-3 coming require 20.
foot minimum lot widths. Many
lots in this area, according tt
opponents of the revision, are
below that standard.
2. Should more of the area
zoned R-3 be zoned instead as
RIA, which permits rooming anC
boarding houses? Many of the
row houses in Mr.. Lewis r.;
areas, opponents say. already
have been converted from single.
family to multiple-family use
which is not permitted in the
RS areas.
3. Should industrial areas CM-1
near Naval Gun Factory at bot
tom of map and along New York
avenue at top of map be zoneo
as M-2 to permit heavier indus
trialization? Opponents contend
existing industries in these areas
exceed the MI Eight industry
standards.
Transition Area
Another highlight of Mr.
Lewis proposal is to zone a two
block-wide strip on either side

stable" in blighted areas until
such time as redevelopment or
other urban renewal programs
can take over.
