Hillandale development agreements

In 1979-1980, the Hillandale Development Corporation won approval to develop the former Archbold estate, located in the park to the west of 39th St and east of the present French embassy. While this area was marked on city planning maps for development, the Hillandale project was controversial because it was a limited-access, planned urban development (PUD). The Burleith Citizens Association negotiated (and litigated) with the developers to protect green space and limit additional traffic flow through Burleith. (The limited access funnels all Hillandale traffic towards 39th St). Posted here are some documents related to that process.

• Zoning Commission orders: No. 292 of August 27, 1979 approved the preliminary application; No. 305 of January 10, 1980 gave final approval.
• Permanent covenant in 1981 between the BCA and the Hillandale Development Corporation.
• Temporary covenant in 1981 between the BCA and the Hillandale Development Corporation (mostly regulating construction procedures).
• Development agreement in 1979 between the BCA and the Hillandale Development Corporation.
