Tasks 5 & 6: Underutilized Lots
![Page 14: Block Lot Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/589fb0f21a28abf9038b5073/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rite Aid, 5600 Georgia Ave. NW• Rite Aid is a single-story, suburban style
drug store with a surface parking lot of 35 spaces
• Rite Aid is the only property in Square #2934 with surface parking
• Current FAR: 0.3 (maximum FAR: 1.5)• Current lot coverage: 33% (maximum lot
coverage: 100%)• Conversely:
• this Rite Aid is relatively far from any mass transit hubs (e.g., Petworth – Georgia Ave. Metro Station), and a streetcar isn’t expected to open along Georgia Ave. NW for another decade
• Parking is thus mandatory

Change Zoning from C-2-A to CR
• Better suited for mixed uses than C-2-A
• FAR allowed: 6.0, of which no more than 3.0 is for residential purposes
• Minimum lot size: No Minimum• Max Stories: No Limit• Max Height: 90 feet• Max lot occupancy: 100% unless
specified• Rear yard setback: 12 feet• Side yard setback: 8 feet

Recommended Use: Mixed Use with Ground Level Retail
• I recommend redeveloping the Rite Aid into 2 two-story mixed-use buildings adjacent to the eastern property line
• Each building would be 12,000 square feet with retail on bottom and two levels of micro-units on top• 48 affordable micro-units in each building
• Parking would be in parking lot accessed from alley behind current Rite Aid• 40 spaces
