Adjustment of Building Restriction Line in Square 2950 along the southern side of Fern Street NW, S.R. 23-06301 Act of 2023

This bill reduces the required setback distance for buildings along the southern side of Fern Street NW in Square 2950 from 15 feet to 9.5 feet. The change specifically applies to several designated lots in that area, allowing structures to be built closer to the street line than previously permitted. Once enacted, property owners in these specific locations will have more space available for construction, while the rest of the city's zoning rules remain unchanged.
