The Case for Compromise: 11th St. Dog Park

THE CASE FOR COMPROMISE 11TH ST DOG PARK 11TH ST + PARK RD NW

THE CONFLICT

THE 11TH ST DOG PARK IS BELOVED BY NEIGHBORS, WHO CITE A LACK OF OPEN SPACE AND COMMUNITY GATHERING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 2

DEVELOPER?

THE PARK IS ZONED AS AN MU-4 AND IS A PRIME LOCATION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE OWNER (WMATA) HAS WANTED TO SELL THE PROPERTY FOR SOME TIME. THE CITY IS TRYING TO BUY THE PROPERTY TO PRESERVE THE PARK, BUT TENSIONS REMAIN OVER LAND USE. 3

CAN WE SAVE THE PARK AND DEVELOP THE SITE AT THE SAME TIME?

IS THIS A MATTER OF PROFIT VS. COMMUNITY?

OR CAN A COMPROMISE MULTIPLY OUR OPTIONS?

THE CONCEPT

EXISTING THE EXISTING PARK IS MADE UP OF A FENCED IN PLOT WITH A METRO EXHAUST GRATE LOCATED IN THE CENTER. EXISTING CURB CUTS ARE LOCATED TO THE NORTH AND EAST. ALTHOUGH THIS ALLOWS FOR A NICE SIZED DOG PARK, THE SITE IS UNDERUTILIZED IN BOTH ITS PARK DESIGN AND DEVELOPABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE. 6

TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORS DO NOT WANT THE PARK TO BE DEVELOPED, AND FOR GOOD REASON. A TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT WOULD LEAD TO A REDUCTION OF 75% OF THE CURRENT PARK, AND OTHER SITE AMENITIES WOULD COMPLETELY WIPE OUT THE PARK. ALSO, THE METRO EXHAUST WOULD NEED TO BE RE-LOCATED, FURTHER ADDING INFRASTRUCTURE COST TO THE CITY. THE NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS SOMETHING ELSE. 7

COMPROMISE WHAT IF WE COULD FLOAT THE ENTIRE BUILDING SO THAT THE PARK AND BUILDING COULD CO-EXIST? METRO COULD KEEP THEIR EXHAUST, THE NEIGHBORHOOD COULD KEEP THEIR PARK, AND THE SITE COULD STILL HOST AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HELP THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUILD WEALTH. THE DEVELOPER COULD ALSO MAKE THE FINANCING WORK IN THIS SCENARIO. ALL PARTIES COULD GET WHAT THEY WANT BY GIVING UP A LITTLE. 8

CONTEXTUALIZATION COLUMNS AND A BUILDING ENTRANCE WOULD NEED TO BE PLACED TO SUPPORT THE BUILDING, TAKING UP 40% OF THE SITE. 60% OF THE SITE COULD REMAIN AS A PARTIALLY COVERED DOG PARK, DESIGNED BY THE COMMUNITY, WITH INCREASED USABILITY AND AMENITIES. THE CITY WOULD OWN THE PARK, BUT SELL THE AIR RIGHTS TO THE DEVELOPER. THE FINAL PRODUCT INCREASES THE RESOURCES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TEN-FOLD. 9
