Two new zoning designations that could start paving the way for more development along a notable commercial corridor in Chevy Chase are moving through the formal review process.
Map and text amendment applications that would create new mixed-use zones along Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase, DC will go before the National Capital Planning Commission in early September. The applications were originally filed with DC's Zoning Commission last October.
The two proposed Chevy Chase Neighborhood Mixed Use zones include:

- The NMU-4/CC1 zone which would apply to most of the commercial corridor along Connecticut Avenue NW between Western Avenue and Livingston Street. The NMU-4/CC1 zone would allow mixed use, low-density commercial and moderate density residential uses, that is generally ground floor retail and residential above.
- The NMU-4/CC2 zone would apply only to the civic site along the avenue between Northampton Street and McKinley Street. This site is currently zoned MU-3A and R-1-B. The proposed zone follows Comprehensive Plan and Chevy Chase Small Area Plan recommendations for mixed-use and local public facility development at the DC-owned library and community center sites, including a moderate density level of housing.
NMU (Neighborhood Mixed-Use) zones have been applied to commercial corridors in neighborhoods around DC, with the intention of providing a mix of residential, employment, retail, and service uses in the area while encouraging a compatibility between new and older buildings. Other areas with NMU zoning include Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, and Takoma, Georgia Avenue, and H Street NE.
