The City Planning Commission has established the Special Planned Community Preservation District in areas that:

(a)        have a land area of at least 1.5 acres;

(b)        contain a minimum of three buildings;

(c)        were designed and substantially developed as a unit under the regulations of the Zoning Resolution prior to December 15, 1961; and

(d)        include considerable clustered open space and related commercial uses available to all residents of the District.

The Commission has found that existing site plans resulted in superior functional relationships of buildings, open spaces, pedestrian and vehicular circulation systems, including parking facilities, and other amenities all together creating an outstanding planned residential community.
