D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 10-A, § 2406
2406.1 Based on an analysis of approved development, available land, regional growth trends, and local planning policies, the population decline experienced in Upper Northeast from the 1950s to the early 2000s has come to an end. In fact, the Planning Area is projected to add approximately 22,565 households by 2045, and its population is projected to rise about 60 percent to 112,756 residents. The primary areas of population growth are around the Metro stations at Fort Totten, Brookland, NoMa-Gallaudet U, and Rhode Island Avenue; along major corridors like New York Avenue, Rhode Island Avenue, and North Capitol Street; at Fort Lincoln; and in the vicinity of Hechinger Mall/Benning Road.
2406.2 More than half of the additional households are associated with specific sites that are in various stages of planning and development. These include the remaining vacant parcels at the Fort Lincoln New Town, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)-owned land at three Metro stations, and private development projects, such as the approximately 257-unit Arboretum Place built north of Hechinger Mall, Union Market, Brookland Manor, and CUA.
2406.3 The number of jobs is expected to increase from 29,395 in 2015 to 52,846, an increase of about 78 percent over the next 30 years. Most of the increase is associated with redevelopment of key parcels along the New York Avenue and Bladensburg corridors, and mixed-use development around the Metro stations. Expansion of industrially zoned acreage in the area is not expected. In fact, most of the employment growth will be the result of the planned conversion of former industrial land to new uses, especially near Metro stations, as identified in Small Area Plans such as the Brookland/CUA Small Area Plan and Florida Avenue Market Small Area Plan.
