              TITLE 36--PARKS, FORESTS, AND PUBLIC PROPERTY
 
         CHAPTER IX--PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
 
PART 910--GENERAL GUIDELINES AND UNIFORM STANDARDS FOR URBAN PLANNING AND DESIGN OF DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE DEVELOPMENT AREA--Table of Contents
 
                           Subpart A--General
 
Sec. 910.3  Program administration.

    (a) This part 910, together with Square Guidelines, described below, 
provides interested parties with the urban planning and design 
information sufficient to understand and participate in the process of 
square development within the Development Area.
    (1) This part 910, General Guidelines and Uniform Standards for 
Urban Planning and Design of Development, sets forth the general 
planning and design goals and objectives which govern the implementation 
of the Plan, specifies standards which are uniformly applicable to all 
developments throughout the Development Area, and provides a glossary of 
defined terms applicable to this part as well as Square Guidelines.
    (2) Square Guidelines specifies detailed urban planning and design 
requirements and recommendations which are applicable to each particular 
coordinated planning area, a coordinated planning area being a square, a 
portion of a square, or a combination of squares. These requirements and 
recommendations set forth intentions and refinements of the Plan in 
light of the identified Planning and Design Concerns specified in 
subpart B of this part 910. Each set of Square Guidelines is adopted by 
the Board of Directors, issued by the Chairman, and is available, upon 
request, at the Corporation's office.
    (3) Square Guidelines are developed in the context of the existing 
environment. Several provisions in the Square Guidelines are, therefore, 
established on the basis of certain assumptions in terms of existing 
buildings, a particular traffic pattern and roadway configuration, a 
market condition for a particular land use, etc. In the event of a major 
change or casualty which would render it impossible or impracticable to 
meet certain requirements of Square Guidelines, the Corporation would 
expect to develop and issue up-to-date Square Guidelines. This statement 
does not, of course, preclude the Corporation from issuing amendments to 
Square Guidelines from time to time on any other basis.
    (b) Pursuant to section 7(b) of the Act, each proposal for 
development within the Development Area must be submitted to the 
Corporation to determine its consistency with the Plan. The 
Corporation's adopted development policy, entitled ``Development 
Policies and Procedures,'' sets forth the process for this 
determination. In determining whether a development proposal is 
consistent with the Plan, the Corporation shall review the proposal 
against all adopted Corporation programs, policies, and regulations, 
including:
    (1) This part 910.
    (2) Square Guidelines.
    (3) Development Policies and Procedures.
    (4) Historic Preservation Plan.
    (5) Energy Guidelines.
    (6) Side Street Improvements Program.
    (7) Policy on Environmental Quality and Control (36 CFR part 907).
    (8) Pennsylvania Avenue Lighting Plan.
    (9) Public Improvements Program.
    (10) Affirmative Action Policy and Procedure (36 CFR part 906).
    (11) Policy and Procedures to Facilitate Successful Relocation of 
Businesses and Residents within the Pennsylvania Avenue Development 
Area.
    (12) All other programs, policies, and regulations that may be 
approved and adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time.
    (c) Pursuant to the Act, Federal and District of Columbia agencies 
and departments may exercise such existing authority and lawful powers 
over urban planning and design features of development as are consistent 
with the Plan. No department or agency may release, modify, or depart 
from any feature of the Plan without the prior approval of the 
Corporation.
