Elmore-Friendship Court Designation Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This resolution designates the public alley system within square 1084 in Washington, D.C., as "Elmore-Friendship Court." It directly affects property owners with lots fronting this alley, enabling them to secure District agency approvals for redeveloping carriage houses into residential units before permanent legislation completes congressional review. The resolution declares an emergency to allow immediate adoption after a single reading, bypassing the usual 30-day congressional review period for the underlying designation bill (Bill 26-220). This is a procedural name change resolution, not a substantive policy.

MINOR
The document transitioned from a draft resolution to an enrolled (final) version of the same emergency declaration. The primary change is the inclusion of the enrolled status header and date stamp, indicating the bill has completed the legislative process and is now official. The substantive policy content regarding the emergency designation of Elmore-Friendship Court remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Added enrolled original header and date stamp (July 28, 2025) to indicate the bill has been finalized and enrolled for the District Council.
Changed page number reference from blank to 26-183, which appears to be a bill number or tracking identifier added during the enrollment process.
Adjusted formatting of the resolution title and citation language to match standard enrolled document conventions.
