District of Columbia Industrial Areas Study DC Office of Planning Prepared by Phillips Preiss Shapiro Associates, Inc. OTHER Environmental Issues While no specific contamination is known, runoff and other pollutants from the bus garage may contribute to soil and water contamination. Fumes from buses probably contribute to high localized particulate levels. Historically or Architecturally Significant Buildings There are no discernible historic or historiceligible buildings in these areas. Development Pressures WMATA has issued an RFP for a joint venture partner to help redevelop and reposition the site, and possibly relocating the bus garage. Other Planning Issues Any development on this site should be in keeping with the surrounding residential area. KEY FINDINGS About 1/3 of the site is underutilized and is a good site for light and moderate municipal uses to collocate. The active WMATA bus depot is strategically located and should remain in use. 6.2.16.2 Scattered Site 2 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Location and Land Area Just southeast of Scattered Site 1, this scattered site is bounded by 13 th Street, NW, Upshur Street, Kansas Avenue, and Taylor Street. The site is 10.48 acres, representing 0.40 percent of the District’s industrial land. Building Typologies The buildings are primarily two- and three-story brick and concrete commercial structures. Several have adjacent parking; one has a parking deck on top. General Site Condition The buildings and sites are well-used and in good condition. There do not appear to be any vacancies. LAND USE Land Use, General Character, and Function This site is primarily a mixture of social service centers and commercial uses. Out of thirteen buildings on the site, two are self-storage, two are auto repair, five are social service related, one is a custom cabinet maker, and one is a WASA pumping station. Surrounding Land Use Context Primarily low- and moderate-density residential areas surround this site. However, a high school and related athletic field/open space border to the north, across Upshur Street. Kansas Avenue meets Georgia Avenue in a commercial/retail intersection only one-half block away. - 147 -
District of Columbia Industrial Areas Study DC Office of Planning Prepared by Phillips Preiss Shapiro Associates, Inc. Access and Circulation Access to and circulation to and within the site is excellent. PROPERTY DATA Major Tenants WASA maintains a water pumping station on the western side near 13 th Street. A childhood development center, neighborhood development corporation, Library for the Deaf and Handicapped, District office, and the High Road School comprise the social service nature of this site. As noted above, there are also two storage buildings and two auto repair shops, as well as a custom cabinet maker. Ownership Patterns and Property Assemblages There are no significant assemblages, although the two largest parcels are held by Himmelfarb Properties, LLC. OTHER Environmental Issues There are no known environmental issues at this site. Historically or Architecturally Significant Buildings There are no discernible historic or historiceligible buildings in these areas. Development Pressures There are no known or obvious development pressures on this site. Other Planning Issues Any development on this site should be undertaken with the adjacent school, residential, and neighborhood retail areas in mind. KEY FINDINGS This is a concentration of neighborhood and social services. There is little or no vacancy. Current uses can remain, but adjacent residential and educational users preclude expansion of the area or transition to heavy industrial uses. A mixed-use designation is appropriate here. 6.2.16.3 Scattered Site 3 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Location and Land Area Located on the east side of 7 th Street NW between Barry Place on the north and Florida Avenue on the south, this site occupies 18.81 acres, or about 0.71 percent of the District’s industrial land. - 148 -
