At another lengthy hearing Wednesday night, D.C. United once again went under the scrutiny of the Zoning Commission in their bid to build a stadium at Buzzard Point. The meeting consisted of 45 minutes of testimony from Advisory Neighborhood Commission 6D Chairman Andy Litsky. That was followed by testimony by individuals both for and against the stadium plan, ending with United’s rebuttal through two expert witnesses.
There was a vote at the end of the proceedings, though not the one that United stadium supporters were hoping for. A vote of 3-0-2 (one commissioner abstaining, one commissioner absent) meant that the Zoning Commission gave their proposed approval for the Buzzard Point stadium, setting the stage for a meeting on February 16 which might result in a final action vote.
