Adjustment of Building Restriction Line in Square 2950 along the southern side of Fern Street NW, S.R. 23-06301 Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This bill declares an emergency to temporarily extend a rule that reduces the required setback distance for new buildings along Fern Street NW from 15 feet to 9.5 feet. The measure directly affects property owners in Square 2950 who need to construct or renovate buildings in that specific area. It serves as a bridge to prevent a legal gap between the expiration of a previous temporary rule and the upcoming permanent version of the same law. By taking effect immediately, the resolution ensures that building projects can continue without interruption while the permanent legislation is finalized.
