1909.1 The Comprehensive Plan has identified six areas in the Lower Anacostia Waterfront/Near Southwest Planning Area as Policy Focus Areas, meaning that they require a level of direction and guidance above that in the prior section of this Area Element and in the Citywide Elements (see Map 19.1 and Figure 19.3). These six areas are:

1. Southwest Waterfront, home of the Wharf development and the historic Washington Fish Market; South Capitol Street, a major axis to the U.S. Capitol and Anacostia River; Near Southeast/Capitol Riverfront, home of the Navy Yard, Nationals Park, acres of waterfront parks, and thousands of new residential units; Poplar Point, a large and prominent site adjacent to Anacostia Park on the river's eastern edge that is currently under federal ownership;
2. Southwest neighborhood, an established and diverse residential community located in between the Wharf and Buzzard Point; and
3. Buzzard Point, a traditionally industrial area that is currently emerging as a mixed-use waterfront neighborhood and the home of the Audi Field soccer stadium.
