Cleveland Park Citizens Association

Dear fellow members,
Please join us tonight, Thursday, November 5th at 6:30 to discuss the proposed amendments to the DC Comprehensive Plan.  Check your email for the Zoom link to attend.

The proposed amendments are here: https://plandc.dc.gov/ 
For your convenience below are links to the current and the proposed “future land use map” (or FLUM) and generalized policy map, which reflect the specific changes proposed for the neighborhood:

Lastly, this PDF contains the results of the member survey.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete it.  We received 74 responses, a strong rate of return, representing approximately 25% of the membership.  As explained in the survey, the goal was to get a sense for what issues are important to members; tonight we hope to drill down a bit more regarding why and how this should inform comment to the DC Council.

See you tonight.  By the way, if you have not already renewed your membership, please do.  You can renew online or print off a hard copy form to mail in at:  https://www.cpcadc.org/join-or-renew/.
Thank you as always for your support and engagement,
Barr Weiner President

Join us for our members meeting on Thursday October 15th at 6:15pm to hear updates on current activities and plans for the year. This will also be an opportunity to share your thoughts on what else CPCA should address. 

immediately following the members meeting, join us for a panel discussing Connecticut Avenue businesses and the Pandemic.  The panel will include local business owners, and the head of our Main Streets program and will discuss challenges businesses are facing and will be facing as colder weather arrives, and what we can all do to help our local retailers come through this crisis and thrive when it’s over.

** We want to send a big thank you to everyone who stuck with us this evening through our technical difficulties.  We appreciate Zach Rybarczyk from Main Street and some of our wonderful Cleveland Park business owners, Mark Handwerger of Atomic Billiards, Dega Schembri of Foundation Fitness, and Vanessa Lim of Spices, all taking their time to meet with our community and share their stories of challenges, landlord’s working with them to make it through, and of community members’ support, through this pandemic.  Unfortunately, due to our technical difficulties, we will not be able to share a recording of the meeting, but check back in the coming days to read a short summary of topics discussed and ideas shared about how to help our businesses as colder weather approaches.
