The greatest issue is the down.
town area, where critics say high
land costs prohibit construction
of expensive auxiliary parking
spaces for office buildings. stores
and apartments. They contend
adequate facilities are provided
Iby private-pay lots and garages
which pool" the needed park
ing spaces. Mr.. Lewis says this
has not proved adequate. and
THAT commercial builders should
be responsible for the parking
needs they generate.
BUILDING HEIGHT - The
proposal cuts down the height
of some buildings and generally
maintains the same limits now
permitted in the downtown area,
Downtown, some buildings can
go to a maximum height Of 100
feet, plus penthouse structures
for air-conditioning and ele-
vators.
MIR. Lewis says low buildings
more than any other character
istic distinguishes Washington
from the concrete canyons" Of
other cities. This, he says, estab-
fishes a character worth preserv-
ing. Some of his critics want
greater heights permitted. One
result, they say. is that this
would help bring about one of
the Lewis aims to eliminate over
crowding of land. Go up in the
air. in other words, instead Of
spreading out.
HOUSING CONTROLS-Sev-
eral brand-new controls would
apply to single-family houses.
New detac he'd and semi
detached homes. for example,
would have to meet minimum
lot sizes before building could
take place. Some detached homes
would have to have at least IS
foot lot fronts and contain $500
square feet of space. Others
would require 50-foot fronts and
5000 square feet. Previously, no
such restrictions existed.
Another control would impose
a minimum of 20 feet for row
houses. Now. they can be built
as narrow as IA feet or, in some
cases. IL feet.

The HEARINGS


Congress in 1854 agreed with
District officials that Washing
tons code needs revision, and
provided money for the study.
Mr.. Lewis was hired for the
Job.
simultaneously, the Commits
sioners formed their Citizens
Zoning Advisory Committee.
headed by banker Thomas j.
Groom. The large advisory
group included civic leaders
from all walks Of life, but pre-
Idominantly included those who
know most about coming at
torneys. architects, real estate
men and builders. 1t was in
tended that the advisory group
would work closely with the
consultant's staff, and reach
agreement where possible on
each part Of the study. The op.
posite happened.
Last spring, Mr.. Lewis sub.
mitted a preliminary revision.
Informal public hearings were
held in 10 sections Of the city.
There was applause from civic
groups for some Of his proposals.
opposition to others. The bust.
ness community generally took
up arms in earnest. and blasted
it from start to finish. So many
things were wrong, some critics
said. it should be tossed out the
window.
After considering the testi-
mony, Mr.. Lewis revised his re-
port, and submitted his final
recommendation last November.
Power to adopt a revised code
either as Mr.. Lewis proposes
it or in some other FORMS in
the hands of the five-man Dis
trict Zoning Commission. Mem.
bers of the commission are the
three District Commissioners, ].
George Stewart. architect Of the
Capitol. and Conrad L. Wirth.
director. National Park Service.
At 10 O'Clock tomorrow, the
commission will begin taking teS-
timony on the final report.
Hearings will last several days.
When they are over. the commits
sion must decide what to do.

have more than IL times the lot
size in floor space. without any
OF street parking.
Outside the center Of town,
more rigid restrictions are pro-
posed on the floor space OF
apartments and Office buildings.
Mr.. Lewis proposes. however,
that several satellite" areas on
major highways be zoned to
encourage major new employ
ment centers."
OFF-STREET PARKING-For
several years, Washington has
required that all new residential
buildings. including apartments,
contain off-street parking spaces.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-26

chopped up" the city into toe
many small coming areas, which
cause great disruption in estab-
lshed development trends. Mr.
Lewis says they are based or
planning studies of each section
and will provide for orderly
growth, not disruption.
He proposes II basic kinds Of
'zoning districts. Eight are
mainly for various kinds of resi-
dences. Five are for various
kinds Of commercial use. Two
are for industry. And two are
special purpose" areas. in which
mixtures of uses. now existing
would be permitted.
PLANS FOR coming - A
basic complaint of critics is that
Mr.. Lewis has tried to do toe
much with coming. Essentially
coming is a police power Of the
community to carry out policies
established for the good Of the
community. Mr.. Lewis, his critics
say, has tried to make policy
and determine the growth
patterns of the city," rather
than use coming as a tool to
carry out policies already estab-
lished.
AS an example, they cite his
of street parking requirements
for commercial buildings. and
restrictions on building sizes to
hold down traffic congestion.
These arguments, they say.
could be knocked into a cooked
hat if the city decides to build
a rapid-transit system. In any
event, they contend, city policy
decisions should be made on
mass transit, traffic and parking
before you zone for them.

His major proposals have beer
condemned by the Commission.
Iers' Citizens Zoning Advisory
Committee. This group will sub.
NIT q formal recommendation
after the hearings. Also in the
forefront Of opposition is the
Washington Zoning Commit
tee." a property-owncr group
formed specifically to battle the
report.
The Issues
Mr.. Lewis contends the con-
trolls and zoning aims. he pro-
poses are reasonable" steps,
comparable to those accepted in
other cities. He says Washing
tons present controls are ex-
cessively lax. and permit far
more leeway than builders need
or. in fact. have used on the
average.
Since coming by its nature Is
restrictive. he says. Washington
should not be surprised. or I'M
duly alarmed, by the protests
of private developers or land
owners Such opposition has
killed new coming in some cities
He urges that this not be the
case here.
His critics contend the pro.
posals are more rigid than are
necessary or desirable. They are
wholly unrealistic, the critics
say. against the practical eco.
Monies Of modern-day construc.
ton. They say the effect will be
to dry up new construction po-
tentials. depreciate land values
harm the city's vital tax base
and chase business to the
suburbs. They claim also that
the new controls are "technically
deficient" and impossible In
some cases to apply.
Major Proposals
Here are the major Lewis pro-
posals against which these broad
pros and cons are applied:
BUILDING SIZE-Mr. Levi,
proposes a brand-new type OF
ontrol on the number Of persons
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-26

/ Mr.. Lewis says these points
are "a stall" against any coming
revision. He contends adequate
policy decisions - supplemented
by the planning studies he made
are adequate. The controls, he
insists. are reasonable ones for
modern city.

inc expert.
It has been studied in detail
by virtually every civic. business
and professional group in thu
city. Reaction runs the gamu
from strong support to violent
opposition.
Among the myriad Of issue
raised, one burning question
stands out: Should the city i'm
pose on private developers {
number of more rigid restriction
to accomplish aims set by Mr.
Lewis?
Here's how the revision came
about, what it seeks to do. ant
some of the major issues:
Why Rezone?
Washington has had coming
code since 1920. The proposed
revision has the same general
purposes. and does most Of the
same things:
1t divides the city into hun
dreds of small areas and deter
mines precisely what kind Of new
development will be permitted
in each. 1t keeps brick factories
department stores and big apart
ment houses out of single-family
home areas. At the same time
1t assures that adequate areas
are set aside for the apartments
stores and industry the city
needs for service and tax rev.
enueS.
1t also-within each Of these
small areas-sets restrictions or
how big the new buildings car
be. how much ground they car
cover and how much light and all
they must have around them.
If Washington already has q
code that has done these things
for 81 years. why change now?
One reason is that, like an
old piece of machinery. it needs
an overhaul. 1t Is confusing
1t has been patched up with
countless amendments over the
years.
Present coming also doesn't Al
the way land actually is being
used. When the code was set up
in 1920. the city was still grow
ing. Now. far more land is zoned
for apartments than is used for
that purpose. Much of the land
zoned in 1920 for commercial
development now is in residential
One of Mr.. Lewis main aims is
to bring the new coming map
into closer relation with actual
use.
The old code does not include
many modern, more efficient
coming techniques. adopted by
other cities in past decades. One
Of the most important is a direct
control on density" - which
means simply the number OF
people who can be concentrated
In q building.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-26
Who's Affected?

The greatest impact Of the
new rules will be on the owners
Of vacant land.
Most Of the city, however, al
ready is built UP. Only about Is
per cent Of the privately owned
land-about 2.700 acres-is va
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-26

cant. This means that much Of
Washington's new development
will require demolition Of OLD
buildings. which have lived Out
their economic lives. and as.
semblage Of new building sites
These also must comply with
the new rules.
In short. they will affect al
future building.
What about the person who.
present home or business does
not comply with the rules? Must
he tear down his building?
AS the Lewis report is written
he would not have to go out Of
business or tear down his mon
conforming" building. He would
be restricted. however. from max
ing major alterations in some
cases. And Mr.. Lewis suggests
Congress pass q special law to
permit certain mountaineering
uses to be eventually forced out
Of business.
The Lewis PIun
Mr.. Lewis used three major
approaches in his revision. He:
/. Divided Washington into
1877 residential "neighborhoods.
and made studies to learn what
would happen If various types Of
new development took place in
each. To a large extent. his re-
vision is aimed at making sure
future building will not over
crowd each area, or permit "un-
desirable" development.
2. Adopted new building re-
strictions which generally are
much more rigid than ut pres
Ient.
3. Adopted a special concept
that the size of buildings in the
downtown business area should
be restricted drastically. His
purpose is to Cd hold to a min
imum heavy concentrations Of
new employees downtown and ~
preserve the open" character
Of low buildings and open spaces
which distinguishes Washington
from other cities. One Of his
major arguments is that the
prospect of ever-increasing traf-
nc can strange" Washington
in its own congestion unless such
steps are taken.
The Bottle Lines
The Lewis report Is so extern
sive. and covers so much ground,
hardly anyone is ready to say
1t is all good-or all bad. With
in these extremes. however:
The National Capital Planning
Commission strongly indorses
the revision as a reasonable code
that would help build a better
city. The Washington Housing
Association generally supports
its aims. A large number Of
citizens associations applaud
the provisions for their neigh
borhoods. Other associations
have protests.
The great wave Of protest
comes from business. real estate
and professional groups. which
oppose Cd Mr.. Lewis basic
ideas about how Washington
should develop and (2) the spe-

Vic Vet
Says

Another drop in c.. /. loan
activity occurred during De-
ccmber, 1856, the Veterans Ad-
miniStration reported.
VA received 33,ll8 home loan
applications in December, a de-
crease OF IL per cent from No
.vcmbcr, 1856, and a drop OF
more than 81 Der cent from De-
cembcr, 1855.
Applications received in any
one month generally result from
loan commitments made in prior
months. VA pointed out that the
number of applications received
in December reflect only in par
the current level Of mortgage
funds available for c.. /. loans.
The volume of appraisal re-
questS-a barometer for meas
uring future loan activity-alsC
was down in December. During
the month VA received 1929
appraisal requests for proposed
construction, compared with 2l,-
94l for November, and 24,892
for December, 1855.
In noting the drop in apprais-
al requests from December, 1855.
VA said tightening in the sup
ply of mortgage funds was being
cit by the end of 1855. Indica-
tive of this was the fact that the
agency in December 1854 was
asked to appraise more than A.
900 proposed dwelling units,
twice the number in December.
1856. and about 10000 above the
number in December, 1855.
Appraisal requests for existing
dwelling units in December
1856, totaled 1857, a decrease
of about 10 per cent from the
previous month, and a decline Of
y per cent from December 1865.
Another drop in CT loan ac-
tlVlty was recorded during the
month in the field of housing
starts. The number of new
homes started under VA inspcc-
ton during December 1856 was
1887. compared with 1924 for
The previous month, and 21,61l
Tor December, 1855.
