Excerpt:
The Anacostia Playhouse is required by law to have 15 parking spaces on site. The parking lot it planned to use is across a 20-foot alley from the Anacostia Playhouse lot. Because of that alley, the lot is considered “off-site parking,” so, by definition, the parking spots on that lot can’t count toward the minimum “on-site” parking requirements.
Until the Anacostia Playhouse can secure a variance that would put them in compliance with the zoning laws, construction must be halted.
“We thought we had satisfied [the requirement] with the 15 spots we had,” said Robey, now Anacostia Playhouse’s CEO. She also said that “everybody, everywhere, recognized that it was a technicality, basically, and the whole thing was going to hold up our building.”
