Congress Cove Court Designation Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This resolution designates a specific public alley system in Square 6153 (bounded by 4th Street S.E. and Atlantic Street S.E.) as "Congress Cove Court" and declares an emergency to bypass standard legislative procedures. It allows the owner of two adjacent lots fronting the alley to obtain District development approvals (permits, utilities) before the permanent legislation completes its 30-day congressional review period.
