A proposed new nonresidential use should be permitted only as a special exception, if approved by the Board of Zoning Adjustment, subject to, among others, the following requirements: The “nonresidential use is capable of being established and operated without adversely affecting the use and enjoyment of neighboring and nearby properties due to traffic, noise, design, or other objectionable conditions.”11 DCMR 1553.2(a); and “There shall be adequate, appropriately located, and screened off-street parking sufficient to provide for the needs of the maximum number of occupants, employees, congregants, and visitors who can use the facility at one time.” 11 DCMR 1553.2(b).

The chancery shall be used only for the activities of The Republic of Gambia; 2. The chancery shall retain and maintain the residential nature of the premises; 3.

City Council to establish universal paid leave. The motion was adopted, 6 yes, 0 no. The adopted resolution: ANC 4A appreciates the importance of supporting the people who work in the District of Columbia and the businesses that operate in the District of Columbia and takes note of the following: • Only 13 percent of employees nationwide have access to paid family leave and only 40 percent have access to paid medical leave, and these employees are disproportionately higher-income earners. • Research shows that access to paid leave is associated with economic benefits such as improved labor force attachment, employee retention, employee health and well-being, family income stability, and reduced dependence on public assistance programs. • Evidence from existing state paid family and medical leave programs shows that these programs can have a positive impact on businesses, including small businesses. • The DC Family and Medical Leave Act only provides access to unpaid leave for qualifying employees who work for an employer with at least 20 employees and have met length of employment and hours of service requirements. • The Universal Paid Leave Act, Bill 21-415 (“UPLA”) has been introduced in the District of Columbia City Council to create a city-wide program of universal paid family and medical leave (“UPL”). • The proposed UPL program would benefit qualifying DC workers by providing access to paid leave during times of medical need for themselves or their families, or the addition of a child to a family through birth, adoption, or fostering; and • ANC 4A believes that establishing such a program would contribute to the needed diffusion of paid leave programs throughout the region and nationwide; and • The proposed UPL program would also impose new costs on DC businesses, which would be responsible for financing the program through a tax on salaries and wages; and • ANC 4A strongly supports the goal of UPL for DC workers and believes any such program adopted by the DC Council should, to the greatest extent possible:  Cover all District of Columbia employees;  Include a progressive wage replacement structure;  Ensure that program qualifications do not disadvantage our lowest-income earners;  Define “family” broadly to include, at a minimum, close blood relatives, domestic partners, and spouses;  Cover conditions and situations sufficiently broadly to include mental health, end-of-life care, outpatient care, family care, and gender-neutral parental leave; and  Include mechanisms, such as triggers, to adjust the length of leave to best meet the needs of DC families without exceeding available funding; and • ANC 4A also strongly supports our local business community and believes that the cost of financing a UPL program must not create an undue burden on DC businesses; RESOLVED THAT ANC 4A urges the DC Council to adopt a program of UPL that balances costs and benefits, adopting as many of the above principles as possible without placing an undue burden on local businesses or increasing the initial employer contribution rate. FURTHER RESOLVED that ANC 4A urges the DC Council to disseminate to the public an analysis of the economic impact, including costs and benefits, that the UPL program would have on DC businesses and the business climate as a whole. FURTHER RESOLVED: That Commissioner Karrye Braxton, ANC 4A06 is hereby authorized to serve as the Commission’s representative. FURTHER RESOLVED: That, in the event that the designated representative Commissioner cannot carry out her representative duties for any reason, the Commission authorizes the Chairperson to designate another Commissioner to represent the Commission relating to this resolution. 6) R4A-16-0604 – Making Recommendations Regarding DC Marijuana Laws Commissioner Anderson moved that the Commission adopt a resolution making recommendations regarding DC marijuana laws, particularly with regard to the use of marijuana in private residences.

Commissioner Whatley moved that the Commission approve the grant application to cover expenses allowable under D.C. Auditor rules. Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion. The motion was adopted unanimously, 5 yes, 0 no. 9) 15th Place Alley – Marking Public Property Line Commissioner Anderson moved that the Commission request that the District Department of Transportation mark the 15th Street Alley (off Alaska Avenue N.W.) to clearly designate the public property line. Commissioner Singleton seconded the motion. The motion was adopted, 3 yes, 2 no, 1 abstain. 10) Letter to the Zoning Commission Regarding ZC15-29, Jamal’s Gateway DC LLC and Impact on Residential Parking In response to concerns expressed by residents of the 1100 block of Kalmia Road NW about the loss of residential parking due to construction of the proposed planned unit development, Commissioner Black moved that the Commission send a letter to the Zoning Commission communicating its concern about the loss of parking; Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion.

LENA MARKET BY: ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ADVISORY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMISSION 4A BY: ____________________________________ Stephen A. Whatley Chairman 5) Resolution: Clean Water Fees Legislation Commissioner Black presented a resolution making comments and recommendations regarding the Clean Water fees being imposed by D.C. Water. Commissioner Green moved that the resolution be approved. Commissioner Lincoln seconded the motion. The motion was adopted, 7 yes, 0 no, 1 abstain. The adopted resolution: Advisory Neighborhood Commission 4A (the Commission) takes note of the following: · The Commission has many single-family, residential (non-commercial) blocks; and places of worship negatively impacted by the rain water tax. District residents are paying more in fees than the actual water/sewer usage. · The Commissioner for single-member district 4A08 has been made aware of the negative impact that the Impervious Area Charge (IAC) has caused the faith community. Churches and cemeteries in particular are being hit hard with the IAC fee increases. · Advisory Neighborhood Commission 4D hosted a Water Forum on Tuesday, October 24, 2017. They shared the information and concerns with ANC commissioner Gale Black, SMD 4A08. The plight of these fees were also the subject of a Washington Post Local Opinion commentary, dated November 5, 2017,C4. The commentary noted that the fees for the church went from $3,500 per year to $200,000 per year. · These fees pose a serious threat to the financial wellbeing of these institutions as well as residents and those who are being asked to foot the bill for the rain tax. · The DC Cemetery Private Road and Parking Lot Exemption of Clean Water Fees amendment Act of 2017 was introduced on November 7, 2017 by three members of the DC Council (Todd, Gray and Evans). As introduced, the bill exempts cemeteries from a charge assessed by the Water and Sewer Authority, the Clean Rivers Impervious Area Charge. · Affected places of worship, non-profits and property owners and residents are being assessed without regard to actual usage; and DC does not assess itself for the runoff from public roads and has delayed fixing the storm water remediation recommended under the Long Term Control Plan for DC for the Rock Creek/ Piney Branch Creek overflows; and · These assessments are inconsistent with fairness and due process; · The Commission has considered this matter at a duly noticed public ANC 4A meeting on December 5, 2017, with a quorum present; · These fees, if not changed, could bankrupt non-profits and our faith community if relief is not provided soon. RESOLVED: That Advisory Neighborhood Commission 4A supports the pending legislation, “B 22-0575 DC Cemetery Private Road and Parking Lot Exemption of Clean Water Fees Amendment Act of 2017,” and asks for the Council’s consideration of this resolution in its future deliberations on the bill. The Commission will also support any other proposed legislation which accomplishes the same purpose. FURTHER RESOLVED: That Commissioner Gale Black, Single-Member District 4A08, is hereby authorized to serve as the Commission’s representative. FURTHER RESOLVED: That, in the event the designated representative Commissioner cannot carry out their representative duties for any reason, the Commission authorizes the Chairperson to designate another Commissioner to represent the Commission in all matter relating to this resolution. FURTHER RESOLVED: Consistent with DC Code §1-309, only actions of the full Commission voting in a properly noticed public meeting have standing and carry great weight. The actions, positions and opinions of individual commissioners, insofar as they may be contradictory to or otherwise inconsistent with the expressed position of the full Commission in a properly adopted resolution or letter, have no standing and cannot be considered as in any way associated with the Commission. 6) Resolution: Walter Reed Master Developer MBE; Resolution: Walter Reed – Diversity of Hiring Following discussion of two resolutions presented by Commissioners Braxton and Whatley, the Commission agreed by unanimous consent to consider a consolidated resolution at its January 2018 meeting.
