District of Columbia Industrial Areas Study DC Office of Planning Prepared by Phillips Preiss Shapiro Associates, Inc. Ownership Patterns and Property Assemblages There are no major property assemblages. The parcels are held by individuals or as part of limited liability real estate corporations. OTHER Environmental Issues There are no known or apparent environmental issues. Historically or Architecturally Significant Buildings There are no discernible historic or historiceligible buildings in these areas. Development Pressures It appears that several structures are being rehabilitated and the commercial uses near U Street/Florida and 9 th Street are also undergoing renovation. The area may be poised for some broader renewal. Other Planning Issues The nearby area is sometimes referred to as “Little Ethiopia,” and the U Street area was once primarily African-American. Neighborhood cultural concerns should be well-vetted and understood before undertaking any steps toward something like a cultural or historic district-driven redevelopment plan. KEY FINDINGS There is very little, if any, industrial use occurring in this area. We recommend it be rezoned for residential or mixed-use to spur the further revival of the Shaw/Little Ethiopia neighborhoods. 6.2.16.5 Scattered Site 5 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Location and Land Area This site is located east of the Anacostia River, on Hayes Street NE roughly between 50 th Street and Division Avenue. It comprises 2.81 acres of land, or 0.11 percent of the District’s industrial land. Building Typologies Low-lying concrete and block structure. General Site Condition The general condition is poor and unsightly. Scrapped autos and old trucks litter the interior lot. LAND USE Land Use, General Character, and Function This appears to be an auto-repair or salvage yard. - 151 -
District of Columbia Industrial Areas Study DC Office of Planning Prepared by Phillips Preiss Shapiro Associates, Inc. Surrounding Land Use Context The surrounding area is a mix of moderate-density residential and low-density commercial uses. Access and Circulation Access to the site is good. PROPERTY DATA Major Tenants There is only one tenant. As yet undetermined. Ownership Patterns and Property Assemblages The one building on the site is owned by 1915 New York Avenue LP. OTHER Environmental Issues Contamination related to auto repair/scrap/salvage. Historically or Architecturally Significant Buildings There are no discernible historic or historiceligible buildings in these areas. Development Pressures There are no known development pressures on the site itself. Other Planning Issues None KEY FINDINGS The site is small, and adjacent land uses make the site inappropriate for heavy uses, but access to transportation routes make it appropriate for light trucking or commercial shipping operations. The site should be rezoned and could be redeveloped for locally serving retail or shopping, as appropriate. 6.2.16.6 Scattered Site 6 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Location and Land Area This site is bordered by E Street SE to the north, 1 st Street to the east, Virginia Avenue to the south, and South Capitol Street to the west. It encompasses 12.86 acres, or 0.49 percent of the District’s industrial land. Building Typologies The buildings are all industrial in nature—primarily a medium sized-power plant. General Site Condition The site appears to be in good condition. It is well-guarded and fenced. - 152 -
