District of Columbia Board of Zoning Adjustment Home Rule Act
This bill changes how the District of Columbia's Board of Zoning Adjustment is appointed. It replaces the previous selection method with a system where the Mayor appoints 5 members (all required to be DC residents) with the Council's approval. The bill also updates procedures for when the Board handles foreign mission applications regarding chancery locations, adding specific federal agency representatives to the board in those cases. These changes directly affect DC's local zoning governance and the composition of its zoning board. The amendments take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted.
