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

This resolution declares an emergency to temporarily adjust a building restriction line in Square 2950 along Fern Street NW, affecting specific lots in that area. The bill reduces the required setback distance from 15 feet to 9.5 feet to prevent a legal gap when a previous emergency measure expires and a permanent law is under congressional review. By adopting this change immediately, the District ensures that building regulations remain consistent for property owners during the transition period.
