Summary Background:

The subject property is located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Hamilton Street and 40^th Avenue, north of Gallatin Street and west of 40^th Place. It resides within the Traditional Residential Neighborhood (TRN) Character Area.

Total gross acreage of the Magruder Pointe property is 8.26 acres and contains an upper site and a lower site as divided by Gallatin Street. The upper site is 3.60 acres and zoned R-55. It is the site of the former WSSC headquarters to the north along Hamilton Street. The applicant is requesting approval of a detailed site plan to construct 15 single-family attached townhome units and 16 single-family detached units. Previous approvals support a density of 31 proposed units over the 3.60 acres (CSP-18002, PPS-4-18001). The District Council’s final decision for CSP-18002 includes a density analysis supported by a footnote indicating an overall density of 72 units (31 units on the upper lot and 41 units on the lower lot).

In constructing the homes, the applicant is seeking to preserve part of the façade (art deco) of the existing WSSC building to the extent feasible in an entrance feature and include a block or brick from the existing WSSC building into each home in recognition of the site’s history.
