Goldstar Group Condo Project, 1500 PA Avenue, SE
ANC6B Committee Advances Goldstar’s 41 Unit Condo Project at 1500 PA Avenue, SE
Demolition of former Dominio’s Pizza to Start in April
by Larry Janezich
Goldstar Group expects to begin razing the former Domino’s Pizza outlet at 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, in April, the first step in construction of a 41 unit 48.5 foot condo building. Tuesday night, ANC6B Commissioner Francis Campbell’s Planning and Zoning Committee advanced the project by recommending that the full ANC approve a raze permit to begin the demolition. Goldstar appeared before the Committee to present a request to scale back the required minimum parking spaces for the building. Although developer proposes providing the required 21 spaces for the building, Goldstar is requesting the ANC to approve a variance to allow 8 of those to be for compact cars – 8 X 16 feet. City code otherwise requires all 21 spaces be 9 X 19 feet. The Committee recommended the full ANC approve the variance by a vote of 12 – 0. The Committee subsequently approved a second request for a variance seeking relief for a minor height exemption for an elevator structure on the roof. The full ANC6B will meet to consider the Committee’s recommendations on Tuesday, February 11, where approval is all but assured.
