District of Columbia Industrial Areas Study DC Office of Planning Prepared by Phillips Preiss Shapiro Associates, Inc. 6 Appendices 6.1 ZONING MAPS FOR STUDY AREAS Please see attached zoning maps. 6.2 SUB AREA ANALYSES AND ILLUSTRATIVE LAND USE MAPS The discussion of each sub-area follows a standard format. First, physical characteristics, including the location and land area, existing building typologies, and site conditions are described. Next, land use considerations such as existing uses, surrounding uses, and access are discussed. Real property information, such as major owners and tenants and existing property assemblages, is presented. Lastly, any other issues affecting the sub-area are described and analyzed, including likely environmental considerations and planning issues. The reader should also refer to the attached zoning maps, also in this Appendix. The chart of average parcel sizes for each sub areas (Chart 2.16) is a useful resource as well. 6.2.1 CSX1—LAMOND RIGGS PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Location and Land Area In the far northern corner of the District, along the CSX railroad and Metro Red Line right-of-way, is the long and narrow CSX1-Lamond Riggs sub-area. It is bounded at its north end by Piney Branch Road and the District/Maryland border and runs south to Riggs Road, NE. It encompasses 125.84 acres, representing 4.78 percent of the District’s industrial study areas. Building Typologies Many buildings were built in the railroad age and front on the railroad, with low-rise brick warehouse structures, large floor plates and loading bays. These types represent only a small portion of the buildings in Lamond Riggs, however. For the most part, buildings are low-rise rectangular brick and/or concrete block commercial buildings. Some residential units of varying brick and wood frame construction exist along 2 nd Street, NE. General Site Condition Conditions vary greatly. While some buildings are vacant and for lease, most are occupied and seem to be doing well; abandoned buildings or vacant lots were not prevalent. Overall, businesses in this area appear to be “good neighbors”, with notable exceptions in the poorly-regulated automotive repair industries. Major north-south roads such as Blair Road, Chillum Place, and 2 nd Street, NE are in need of significant repairs. Interior service drives are also in need of significant repairs. - 116 -
