Bill > HR4088

This bill modifies the composition of the District of Columbia (DC) Zoning Commission by removing federal government representatives and giving full appointment authority to the DC local government. Specifically, the bill eliminates the requirement that the Architect of the Capitol and the Director of the National Park Service be automatic members of the Zoning Commission. It also removes language specifying that Zoning Commission members are "appointed by the Mayor" in multiple sections of the existing law, effectively transferring complete control of the commission's membership to local DC authorities. Additionally, the bill makes a conforming amendment to federal law regarding the Board of Zoning Adjustment, adjusting membership rules for cases involving foreign mission chancery locations to ensure appropriate federal representation when needed. The overall purpose of the bill appears to be enhancing home rule and local autonomy for the District of Columbia by removing federal oversight from its zoning processes.
