Plans for a large new residential project at the Brookland Metro station are starting to move through the city's zoning process. 

Last week, DC's Zoning Commission set down the application for a planned unit development (PUD) for a 230-unit apartment building at 901 Monroe Street NE (map). The project, from developers Horning and The Menkiti Group, will feature a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, as well as 54 parking spaces. 

This project may look familiar to longtime UrbanTurf readers. In 2012, the Zoning Commission approved a 212-unit development for the Monroe Street address, a decision that was fiercely opposed by residents living near the proposed project, who took their case to the DC Court of Appeals.

The Zoning Commission's approval was vacated by the court in 2012 and 2013 and then again in 2015. Following the third ruling, the development team decided to wait until the city's Comprehensive Plan was approved in 2021 before resubmitting a PUD for the development. 

The next zoning hearing for the development will likely be in the coming months.
