			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Snowball Fight by The Great Photographicon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/greatphotographicon/4199527442/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2621/4199527442_d754aa54b1_b.jpg" border="0" alt="Snowball Fight" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>Tomorrow is the first Thursday of the month, meaning that ANC1B&#8217;s monthly meeting will take place on the second floor of the <strong>Reeves Building</strong> at <strong>14th and U Streets</strong> at <strong>7 pm</strong>.</p>
<p>Here are the highlights from <a href="http://www.anc1b.org/nextmeet.html" target="_blank">the official agenda</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>1916 Ninth Street NW </strong>— variance  from lot occupancy requirement; variance for expansion of non-conforming building; special exception for change from one non-conforming use to another.</li>
<li><strong>Dogs by Day</strong> and <strong>GreenPets</strong> — special exception to zoning.</li>
<li><strong>321 T Street NW</strong> — review of conceptual design.</li>
<li><strong>Broadcast Center One</strong> PUD (to be built above the Shaw Metro) — motion for two-year extension and amendment.</li>
</ul>
<p>The last item is the most worrying as it concerns the proposed development above the Shaw Metro station.  This development, which is intended to restore the Howard Theater and the <a href="http://leftforledroit.com/tag/block-of-blight/">Block of Blight</a> was supposed <a href="http://dcmud.blogspot.com/2009/10/shaw-main-streets-development-woes.html" target="_blank">to break ground last year</a> with a gleaming new office building to house Lanham-based Radio One.  The developer <a href="http://leftforledroit.com/2010/01/good-morning-shaw/" target="_blank">is likely to secure</a> an additional tenant, the United Negro College Fund, if the City Council grants the group&#8217;s request for <a href="http://washington.bizjournals.com/washington/blog/breaking_ground/2010/01/united_negro_college_fund_president_makes_his_pitch_to_dc.html?surround=lfn" target="_blank">$3.8 million in tax breaks</a> over ten years to move here from Fairfax County.</p>
<p>Also on the agenda are the following liquor license applications:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>MASA 14</strong>, 1825 Fourteenth Street NW — Substantial change to license: addition of roof deck, proposed summer garden, expansion of hours (Sunday &#8211; Thursday 8 am &#8211; 2 am; Friday &#8211; Saturday 8 am &#8211; 3 am)</li>
<li><strong>Bella</strong>, 900 Florida Avenue NW — New retail  Class C restaurant license with entertainment including dancing and live bands; hours of liquor sales and consumption (Sunday &#8211; Thursday, 11 am &#8211; 2 am; Friday &#8211; Saturday 11 am &#8211; 3 am);  hours of  entertainment (Sunday &#8211; Thursday 8 pm &#8211; 2 am; Friday &#8211; Saturday, 10 pm &#8211; 3 am)</li>
<li><strong>Ulah Bistro</strong>, 1214  U Street NW — Substantial change to license to provide new entertainment endorsement including DJ and jazz band (Sunday-Thursday, 9 pm &#8211; 1:30 am; Friday &#8211; Saturday, 9 pm &#8211; 2:30 am)</li>
</ul>
