The Brookland/CUA Metro Station Small Area Plan which was initiated by the Office of Planning in August 2006. The plan provides a strategic framework for revitalizing the area within a quarter mile or ten minute walk of the Brookland/CUA Metro Station in Ward 5.  The planning area is defined by the following boundaries: Taylor Street to the north, 13th Street to the east, Rhode Island Avenue to the south, and 7th Street to Michigan Avenue to John McCormack Road to the west.  The purpose of the Plan is to guide the growth, development and revitalization of the study area by providing guidance on land use, zoning, transportation, and open space.

The Office of Planning seeks to create a redevelopment strategy for areas in and around the Metro station that will serve as a framework to guide future development. The planning effort, which began with a public kick-off meeting in late November 2006, will ultimately yield:
 

• Analysis of existing conditions
•  Market analysis
•  Assessment of historic and cultural resources
•  Transportation analysis
•  Conceptual and sub-area plans
