Attacks
RezOniing Foes
By GEORGE BEVERAGE

Consultant Harold M. Lewis
struck back last night at oppo-
sition to his Washington coming
revision proposals, and accused
real estate and building groups
Iof delaying tactics he said would
hold up new coming code for
the Capital.
At the same time, however, he
disclosed the first few conceS-
sions he is willing to make to
the opposition, which has bitter
ly attacked his new regulations
as excessively restrictive on new
development and property values.
His statements came at the
second Of a series of 10 public
meeting to discuss the propos-
ais, held at Anacostia High
School. The third citizen ses-
sion will be held at 8 o'clock
tonight at Eastern High School,
Eighteenth and East Capitol
streets.
100 Attend
More than 100 persons turned
out last night, most Of them APP
parently residents OF the old
AnacoStia region.
In sharp contrast to Monday
nights first meeting, when rep
resenatives of organized real
estate groups read statements
denouncing many aspects of the
Lewis proposals, there were few
opposition speakers last night.
Spokesman for several citizen
groups. however, read statements
backing Mr.. Lewis.

Plan Switches BrookIond's
18th Street to Houses

A change in the present COM
mercial coming of most of
Twelfth street NE. in Brookland
Is the most drastic revision pro-
posed by consultant Harold M.
Lewis for the Northeast section
of Washington shown on the
adjoining map.
At present, a mile-long stretch
of Twelfth street from Rhode
Island avenue to Randolph street
is zoned commercial and mainly
used for that purpose. While
there are a few solid stretches
along Twelfth. stores. shops and
other commercial establishments
predominant.
Mr.. Lewis planning report on
the area, used as a guide for the
new coming, said some increase
in business lis indicated" in the
Northeast section. But it con-
tended the mile-long Twelfth
street commercial coming has
produced scattered development
which cannot possibly be justi-
fed"
ReEoned for Houses
The consultant does zone for
three small shopping areas (C-l
on map along Twelfth and a
larger center CO. at Twelfth
and Newton streets. But most of
the street is zoned for single
family detached (R-2) or row
(R-0 houses.

one that District officials hope
residents of each area will help
answer.
The coming conSultants con-
tend that, while their new build
ing lot requirements are more
rigid than existing rules, they
generally reflect the way land
actually has been developed. OPP
ponents contend most detached
homes are built on smaller lots,
and that the new rules will make
it Cd impossible to build on
some vacant lots and (2) ques-
tionable whether many existing
homes can be improved with
additions.
Few Apartments
Unlike most parts Of Wash
ington, very little Of the Brook
land area now is zoned for apart
ment use. The reason, the con-
sultant said, is that Brookland
is one of the city's oldest resi-
Dental communities, and was
well built up long before coming
regulations were first established
here 36 years ago.
Mr.. Lewis coming proposals
reflect the existing commercial
development of land along most
of Rhode Island avenue NE.
(C-1 and ca on map) to the
District line at Eastern avenue.
Along the extensive railroad
yards and tracks at either side
Of the map, it also recognizes
present industrial development.
Some real estate experts, how
ever, feel that Mr.. Lewis MI

mits only light industrial"
development. is not a realistic

road tracks. including brick

years.
Nearly all the residential area
on the map is zoned for single
family homes-the pattern in
which the area now is largely
built up.
The conSultantS' new stand
ards, however, impose more rigid
restrictions than now exist on
new homes which might be built
on vacant land in these areas.
In the single-family detached
home areas shown on the map,
for example, the sections marked
RIB require a minimum lot
size of $500 square feet and a
minimum lot width of IS feet.
The areas marked R-1-C require
a minim UNI lot size Of 5000
square feet and a minimum lot
width Of SO feet.

tons is a major bone Of conten-

is anything revolutionary In his
regulations. He said they were

prolong the 10 years that has
already ensued." This was :
reference to the fact that Com
gress frst authorized the Com
missioners to revise the 1870
zoning regulations in 1888.
Mr.. Lewis said one change in
regulations he Ii considering
concerns single-family detached
homes located on smaIler lots
than are permitted under his
proposals. Where only the lot
area and lot width Is involved,
he said, he might not classify
such homes as "non-conforming
structures"
He said this provision-strong
liz questioned by numerous
Igroups-has raised considerable
confusion over the rights Of such
lhome-owners to add to their
homes or rebuild in case Of fire.
Norman Glasgow, Washington
attorney who speciali7es In zon-
ing matters, said he felt q legal
problem might arise if the con-
sultants made this change and
still applied the minimum lot
restrictions to vacant lots in the
same area. Mr.. Lewis and his
aides, however, denied any such
problem exists.
May Relax Parking
Another change he is consid-
ering, Mr.. Lewis said, is to eliTni-
nate establishments under q
certain size" from rigid off-street
parking requirements, which have
generated major opposition.
A number of Anacostia resi-
dents asked about effects of the
proposals on specific properties,
and some suggested changes in
coming. Mr.. Lewis said the main
reason for the public meetings
was to head such complaints,
and promised to consider them.

Washington Housing Association
drew applause with a statement
