REAL ZONING PETITIONS T0BEHEARD OCT. 3 Commission to Consider Proposals for Buzzard Point Changes. d From First Page) cations to industrial to permit the power plant project. Another petition coming before the hearing October 5 concerns land identi- fied with Buzzard Point. It calls for changing the zoning of the east half of Square 654, bounded by Half, First, O ana P streets southwest, from residential to industri e “and includes the property at 1606 K street. A petition calling for the change of the zoning of this prop- erty to first commercial is scheduled | dor the Cciober 5 hearing. ~All the property in this bleck west of 1606 K street is in the first commercial use zone. The case is similar to that of the Bugher property on the north side of K s t just west of Sixteenth street, for commercial zoning was ob- ained after the case had been carried to the District Court of Appeals. Nei- ther property has a frontage on Six- teenth street. Movements to give Six- teenth eet a commercial status has been met with vigorous opposition. The other borderline case arises in the petition for the change of the zon- ing from residential to first commercial use of the east side of Twentieth street, between Florida avenue and R street. Similar petitions have been before the commission three times. The commis- sion has waived tYe time ordinarily re- quired before the case could be heard again, cue to action by District Supreme Court granting the owner of property on the northeast corner of Twentieth and R streets permission to use the premises as o tea room, pending the outcome of litigation over the case. The commission also will hear argu- ments on alternative petitions for giv- ing a commercial status to property on the west side of Connecticut avenue, just below Chevy Chase Circle. This petition is associated with plans of the District Project Board for the opening and paving of Thirty-ninth street in the stretch at the rear of the lots concerned in these petitions. Under this plan Thirty-ninth street would be carried from Northampton street north to the line of Oliver street. approximately, then turn right to intersect Connecticut ave- nue.
